Just finished watching too. What a beautiful resort in Hawaii.

It will be on our list of places to visit, but not until our little ones get a little older.

 

[Havana]

I watched it as well. It looks fabulous! Hope to go next year!
Saw BLT is going up to $140 in June. Nice to see the add on incentive for only 50 points. Last time we asked a few months ago they said only incentive for 100

Thanks for posting this, we watch it on Thursday but now know what to expect.

 

[RachaelA]

Watching right now!

 

[dizzneebabe]

Just finished watching, too. Wish the incentives were closer to those of Aulani at BLT...I could almost see another add-on in our near future. But even with a 19/pp discount, we'd be paying much more than we did for our previous two add-ons.

I agree--Aulani is beautiful! But WHY didn't they add the extra bath in the 1 and 2 bdrm units????

We watched the webcast this morning as well. We did the chat but they basically said someone would call us but no one has yet, it's been 2 1/2 hours since we finished. We were wondering about the closing costs for each number of points mentioned? And if there is any discount offered for Aulani if you buy only 50 points?

 

[redboxcar]

Am I reading this correctly, all the incentives are for add-ons only?

Is this standard - that they do not offer incentives during these webcasts for new members?

As I remember, when I signed up it asked if you were a current member or not. Maybe if you indicate you are a member, it shows you a version with just the Member add on prices? maybe we'll need a non-member to chime in and let us know?

Just finished watching the non-member webcast, so yes, there is one. Incentives are different. I believe at Aulani it's a $10 credit for 160pt with a $300 visa gift card. I also think there are other incentives on different resorts such as AKV. I'm calling my guide to find out.

Just floated to this board after watching the podcast - new purchases for new members at animal kingdom villas seem to be the best deal as you get the visa card like at alunai. I called and spoke to a rep and he was so veer helpful and added an extra perk so even though I started off wanting to book blt, I think we may have to buy into animal kingdom instead and then I will hang at these boards more often ......

 

[dvc at last !]

Thanks for the info - I signed to watch on Friday.

 

[DisDad07]

Justed watched and the place looks great.Would love to go some day. Hope 7 month has openings.

 

[WDWLVR]

Just finished watching and I have to say this was the best of all the DVC webcasts. It was much more about the destination and much less about the add ons which I thought was great. Can't wait to see Aulani in person.

 

[noahdove]

I can't get on to watch...what can I do to watch it???? Help please, thank you
