At blt now. All the names have been chiseled off. It looks like they are installing new tiles with names.

Oh that's great news! I know a lot of people will be happy to hear that! Thx!

Wonderful News!!!! I'm happy they listened and are fixing this issue.
Kudos to DVD for doing the right thing and allowing the founders to show their tiles with pride. I didn't want to show ours because it was rusty.

Oh nice-ours was actually holding up OK, but wouldnt have been long.

What are they doing differently?

I am so glad to hear that!!!
Ours has been rusty and missing color since 2 days after BLT opened. Every time it gets repainted and "sealed" it just rusts up and loses the color again

I wonder what they will do differently??

I think is just very sad, that the premiere DVC resort, according to DVC management, is now having to do redo, replace so many things.

Very poor choices it seems were made by managment.

I am glad to hear this. Thanks for posting. We are not owners, but when we visited last spring I noticed how bad it looked and was glad we didn't have a tile.

omg! saw that last week when we were there and had no idea that's what they were doing. that is very cool! thanks for the heads up!

Sorry I did not take any pictures. I took about 3 days to redo it. The finished product looks beautiful. The work crew was sloppy and left tiles all over after they were done each night. We picked up a few scrap peices and now we have a piece of BLT sitting on our dresser.

Are the tiles the same? Anything different?

Yes, many things at BLT are undergoing refurb. The bridge(skywalk) had to be reinforced (significantly), the studios are being redesigned to put locks on the bathroom doors and put the sink in the bathroom instead of in the kitchenette, the hardware is being replaced in the tub area due to substandard materials that rust, the rainshower in the 1 bdr are being removed because they dripped, and the rusty founding tiles on the Tempo fountain were replaced in the last week.

I guess stainless steel, was not in the original budget.
