Spent the week 6/29 - 7/6 in a 1br. 1st time as a DVC member. We loved it. Great accommodations, location was something you dreamed about as a kid, and the pool area was awesome. My boys loved waking up each morning looking out at Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain.
I'm in.
Thrilled with DVC and BLT. Can't wait to go back next August.

Thanks for starting this.

I haven't read the menu yet for totwl...my kids love contempo cafe though

Follow up question......after reading the cake chatter thread and seeing the amazing cakes from CR I wonder if you can enjoy a fabulous birthday cake during wishes at the totwl?

 

[supersuperwendy]

People have done it but remember, if the TOTWL doesn't generate a profit, Disney will close it down when the agreement between Disney and DVD expires.

I hope that agreement doesn't end before next summer.....does it?

We have 130 pts at BLT, 310 at OKW, 100 AKL, 100 VGC. Some may say why does one need so many points? You can never have enough. We just did the Alaska Cruise the end of May on points! Our next BLT will be May 2012 for our daughter and her college friends for graduation. What a great feeling to give them such a great gift. Wish we were going! LOL

I think we have 160 at Bay Lakes-it was our first "home". Now we also own Grand California and Aulani. We were at BL at Christmas last year (2010) in a 1 bedroom and thought it was the best! Loved it! Woke up Christmas morning to our little tree and a few presents from Santa (although Santa was generous at the parks/shops as well), made breakfast, got to the parks, came back and watched the fire works from the 16th floor at the bar. How cool is that? I loved seeing all of the decorations done by fellow members on their windows. If I recall, I think I even saw a full size tree-WOW! Very special-love it as far as the location. Great pool as well.

My DH, Erik (TheViking on the boards) and I bought at BLT last year when we were at WDW for only the 2nd time. We are going in Dec this year with our 3 kids; ages 10, 13, and 15. We are super excited. It will be our 3rd WDW trip in as many years. DH and I are also heading on a transatlantic cruise on the Magic next month. We just found DIS boards a couple weeks ago but I think we've found a great place to read online.

Congratulations!!!! We bought last fall and just took our first visit to BLT last month. You and your family will have a wonderful time!

I just found this thread!! So I gotta join this group!! We purchased 200 points at BLT in 2009 while on the DCL!! We took our first DVC trip to AKV Kidani in May of 2010, and I rented points out to pay for our DCL trip this year!!

We checked in this morning for our first stay at BLT. We arrived at noon and our room was ready. I requested a outer rim room with a marina view and that is what we got. I must say we are thrilled so far. We spent the day exploring the resort. Could not be happier with BLT.

We are 9 days away from our FIRST TRIP HOME! Four nights at Bay Lake Tower and I can hardly wait. We bought a year ago, and this is our first opportunity to go (it's possible we took 2 cruises in that time though. TEEHEE).



I CANNOT WAIT! The night we arrive is a MNSSHP, so I'm hoping to view Hallowishes from the TOTWL!

sounds great. We'll be in WDW at the same time but over in SSR for this trip. we won't see BLT til Dec.

We placed our order for groceries tonight. We will be at BLT on Sunday. We are so excited to be home again in a two bedroom ded. unit. Our friends backed out so it is only three of us in a two bedroom. Cannot wait and then MNSSHP Sunday night Just incredibly excited.

We are very excited for a trip to BLT next March. We have a 2 BR lockoff, lake view, so our DD can bring friends along for a Spring Break vacation.

We haven't been in a 2 BR that was a lockoff yet; always had 2 BR dedicated rooms. I think it will work well, though. This way the girls will have their own coffee/microwave, etc. along with access to the full kitchen.

 

[LBollengier]

We just closed on the purchase of 80 points of BLT - 33 pts available now and 80 more coming in Feb...

We wanted to have 3 things so far - BWV, BLT & GCV

We are 2/3 of our way there!! We closed on the BWV a couple of weeks ago and already recd. the final paperwork and our BLUE CARDS

Please add us to this happy list of people who are "Welcome Home" at the beautiful BLT!!!

How do you get started, it's not that I don't have resources, it's more that I have so much documentation in print and online form, I'm not sure where to start!! Is there a reserving first time for dummies thread somewhere??

Wow! Wow! Wow! Our first trip to BLT and we love it.

View from the balcony. Studio 8025

Little table.

TV and plenty of storage space.

Kitchenette.

I know the rooms are smaller than all the other resorts, but the way this is arranged is just awesome. All of the little space savers are "contemporary". I dig the theming. We have plenty of storage space and even found the lock on the bathroom door. The only complaint is that I need more points. As for wear and tear, the only thing I notived was a piece of the molding that held the inside bathroom door was missing. I think it is really cool and it looks like the start of many BLT trips. When is our ownership year up? 2050-something. Woo-hoo!!!!!

Spending our first DVC stay at BLT Nov 6 dedicated 2bdrm lv. 3 nights, then onto SSR with SIL for another 3 nights. Won free Seaworld tickets at gift auction. Going to try MVMCP. Had very good luck with waitlists for this trip bought late and booked late and got BLT, then friend is going and got a SSR 1bdrm too. Thinking about pressing my luck by waitlisting MK view just for the heck of it, or adding night in the front of our trip and leave a day earlier.
