*** Bay Lake Tower Owners Group***

Hello neighbors. The DH and I purchased 200 points in 2009 and have only spent one night so far. We also own 260 pts at animal kingdom and 85 pts at Saratoga. We don't have any upcoming BLT trips planned but will be trying out the BWV in December and then heading out on our first 7 night DCL trip.
 
We now have our first BLT trip booked! 8 days the week before Christmas.
We are so looking forward to staying in our new home.
 
Just a quick question for all of you BLT lovers, and I don't have the time right now to dig too deeply into this thread - but how many GV's are there at BLT? Just wondering.

Thanks.
 
New member here! We just bought into BLT and have our first vacation in October! Just can't wait--love all the pics, tips, and advice here! :banana:
 

We just sent the papers back today. We bought 300 points in BLT. Going down next April.
 
We just purchased 160 points June 25 in BLT's. had looked many years ago. I totally surprised myself when we purchased. I had taken the tour back in the 90's when OKW was new. Went on more timeshare tours then I can count, always enjoyed playing with the salesman. I am a salesman and always was one step ahead of them. I am also very good a quoting numbers and could show them how these were not a smart thing to buy. I was in Orlando to be with the wife, who's name is Micky and a huge Disney person, she was working for the week there. We are from Indiana and she is now working two weeks a month in Orlando. We have been to Disney World over 15 times in our 37 years of marriage, always staying on property. I was walking around Down Town Disney and stop at the DVC booth. The next day we were there again and went by the DVC booth and I said lets go on a tour. Hour and half later we owned 160 points. I do not know why my mind was working 180 degrees different then normal. It had to be the easiest sale for our guy. Now six weeks later I do not regret it one bit, only why not sooner. We have already set up the following.

Sept. 2010, 3 days at AKV

Feb 2011, 2 days at BLT then 4 days at VB then 2 days VWL
 
Count us in as worthy of this grand thread :worship:!

Our BLT add-on points appeared in our account this afternoon! Our first stay won't be until late 2011 or 2012, but they're there! Now I need to get one of those fancy "BLT Signature Graphics" .

Anyway, excited to own at my favorite WDW resort of all time. Only got to stay at the Contemporary once (in the now demolished garden wing), but have always loved it as my favorite - even in comparison to the DVC resorts.

Very very very excited to be able to say we're owners there now and will have many more stays connected to my favorite hotel.

Oh, we still love BWV, too... especially in October... we just love BLT a smidge more.
 
Yes there are 14 GVs at BLT. The best thread for BLT rooms and views is:

(Of course I am biased since I started the thread!)

Enjoy BLT!

Yeah, it's a good thread. I think I found it after the other. I am on the SSR Owner's thread (we are up to version 2), so I keep up with that one. There are several good BLT threads. I just bought in a couple days ago and am really excited. I like SSR and it is a nice way to relax and enjoy DTD, but it is really cool to be near MK, MK resorts, and Epcot. Now, we just have to go stay there.
 
We just joined in June. 200 points. We are staying next April for 5 days in a defined 2 bedroom. Can not wait.

:love:
 
We're just back from our first stay at BLT in a dedicated two bedroom and overall were very happy. We got probably one of the worst Magic Kingdom views, which still managed to be very interesting with the monorail always wooshing by out front. The units felt very spacious and were generally well laid out and showed none of the wear and tear so many have complained about. We found the decor to be soothing and tasteful rather than stark. We loved the lounge as a quiet place to hang out. The folks in the community center were so great with the kids and the pool was very kid friendly. Housekeeping delivered mountains of clean towels on towel and trash day.

I do see what the complaint about the bathroom door was. I mean, not only doesn't it lock, there's a full half-inch gap where you can seen into the bathroom. What were they thinking? It wasn't that much of a problem for us--that bath became the eight-year-old's private bath and he didn't care, but I would consider it to be unsuitable for adult use. We also found the uncomfortable furniture to be a problem--both the couch and the chair cushions kept trying to slip forward and were not at all comfortable. DH speculated it was because they had their beds made up and the extra bulk of sheets and blankets made the furniture not fit together right. In any case, we want to use the living area as a living area, not a sleeping area, and didn't find it to be comfortable for hanging out in.

Care to tell us what your room number was? TIA:thumbsup2
 
Ok so I just need to be sure I understand this correctly....

If I make a "cash" reservation for the BLT and book thru Member Services, then I "WILL" have access to the Top of the World Lounge....yes?

And another question....If by miracle there are "room only" discounts published for the General Public.....we as DVC owners can take advantage of those discounts and book thru MS (pending availability of course), yes?

TIA!!:thumbsup2
 
Thanks!! We were in room 7624 in April and thought the view was wonderful. That being said we all agreed that any floor lower would not be very advantageous. I'm sorry you were assigned that room...

...and I hope next time you get the top floor!!!:cool1:

Thanks for the review!!:thumbsup2
 
Somewhere I saw a comment on how to adjust the shower heads. Does anyone know where that thread was? :confused3 I have heard the showers have brutal water pressure, and wanted to print out the comment on how to adjust the shower head water pressure. We arrive for our first trip home in 39 days!!!:cool1:

You are correct. . . if you book a cash trip through MS you will have access to the ToW. If you look at the DVCmember.com site it is in writing. . .
 
I have heard the showers have brutal water pressure, and wanted to print out the comment on how to adjust the shower head water pressure.

I'm curious about an adjustment; I wasn't aware of one and yes, I thought the shower's water pressure was painful if you hit certain body areas wrong. I also had to learn to be careful turning water on in the sinks when rinsing out glasses & such; I splashed a bunch around more than once! :rolleyes1
