BLT check-in moved to BLT building

Interesting news today...
Here's the link

From WDWMagic:

The arrival experience at 'Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort' is about to become much improved.

Beginning August 20 2012, guests will be directed to check-in at the lobby of the Bay Lake Tower, and will no longer have to first go through to the main Contemporary building. Initially, only guests arriving by car or taxi will go directly to Bay Lake Tower. Those guests arriving by Magical Express will continue to arrive at the Main Contemporary Resort building.

In addition to the lobby handling check-in and check-out, the Bay Lake Tower lobby will be able to providing dining reservations, recreation, ticket sales, and planning assistance.

The lobby front desk will be staffed from 7am to 10pm daily.

Interesting development. I recall that there was an experiment at BCV a few years ago having guests check in there instead of the BC desk. Apparently that didn't work out since they discontinued it.

Perhaps there are more units at BLT, or there is higher turnover, and they think this will be more successful.

I thought sharing services was how they were going to keep dues low. But then again this is only a small addition?
