Contemp DVC models are ready!!!

[PIERCEDRN]

To sell out the average current member would have to buy about 25 points or 20% would have to buy 125 points. I do not really think that is likely.

Way to break it down, Bookworm!

BLT became the new rumored name last week sometime.

I think the Orlando Sentinel, (but could have been a DISSER) found some paperwork that specifically mentioned a timeshare resort next to the Contemporary Resort that would be named Bay Lake Tower.

Hopefully somebody will give us some more precise info here. That was straight from memory of what I read here on the DIS.

Thanks!
That's what I get for stepping away from the Dis for a few days!

I hear alot of DVC owners getting pumped up about BLT and saying they want to buy a "small contract" into it. My question--how many points are you buying? Adding on 100 points to your existing contracts seems reasonable, but what will 100 points (or any smaller amount) really get you at BLT? A studio midweek, assuming you are buying into the resort for the 11 month booking window? If you do not have enough points to book a vacation at the 11 month window what is the point is buying into a new resort unless you are staying for a short time. Just curious, as I own ALL my 650 points in OKW and book at the 7 month window if staying elsewhere.

Really want to do an add on when BLT comes available (hold the T for me) but how does that work if you have two different home resorts? New DVC owner anyway, and I never really thought I would ever have two contracts to worry about. But if I want to book at BLT at the 11 month window and need 75 points when I only have 50 can't they just pull that other 25 points from my SSR contract? Or would I have to book what I can with my 50 points and then wait for the 7 month window to book the rest with my SSR points? How does that work?

100 pts = 300 pts every 3 years.

I saw this posted on another Disney forum and thought I would share it with the group. I don't know how reliable this information is, so please take it for what's it worth.

• BLT sales to start July 1st, 2008
• Exisiting DVC Owners to get mailed notice of sales 1 week earlier.
• SSR has Waiting Lists for all UYs except December.
• AKV Phase I almost completely sold out.
• AKV Phase II June UY sold out.
• Treehouse villas are currently part of SSR's holdings.
• Big Secrets what's happening with THVs. Maybe stop-gap sales until BLT sales (thus BLT after July 1, or more likely, after BLT sells out in expected 6-9 months!!!
• California already considering expansion options. -Studios only at Paradise Pier???
• CM DVC Discount will be disappearing entirely within the next 12 months.
• Training has not yet begun to sell BLT, and they HATE the name too.
• DC expects BLT to be 100% DVC (Unlike gblast123 & my mixed use beliefs)
• Do not expect major incentives, certainly no developer points as we current know(and hate) them!
• No price-per-point or points-per-night chart available yet!

From what the leaked Maximum Allocation chart for KTV (now BLT) shows 100 points may get you just as much as you will get with SSR!
I know it seems far fetched, but DVC has to file this Maximum Allocation thing to give an average of what they suspect a single night will cost if every night was the same price. Heres the chart:http://dvcnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=352&Itemid=96 What it shows is that studios have a 16 point average which puts it below VWL, BCV AND BWV and above OKW and AKV. So this may mean that there will be "value" rooms facing the CR not MK. I could so deal with an 11 point Value room that looks at a wall.
All of the other categories are more than any other resort.

[*]Training has not yet begun to sell BLT, and they HATE the name too.

Which name, Kindom Towers or Bay Lake Towers? BLT to me is a sandwich. Naming them after electronic equipment or cars isn't much better, but here are the obvious names to me:

Contemporary Resort Towers (CRT)
Contemporary Resort Villas (CRV)
Villas at the Contemporary Resort (VCR)

and one more:

Towers at the Contemporary Resort (TCR)

 

[PIERCEDRN]

There is speculation that disney may demolish the other end of the CR so CRV would only cover one building. BLT will allow you to name the other building some thing else besides CRV2.

enough for a studio sun-thurs (leaving on fri) during Oct-Dec - so MVMCP and MNSSHP...

that is all I want.

hopefully less than 100 - more like 60 (VWL, BCV, BWV) to 70 points - hoping!

.... along with ZekeKelso and yourself!

But now I'm curious: if you are staying in the CR, can you hear or feel anything when the monorail goes through the building?

You barely hear it when you are standing there in the Contemporary waiting for it.

I hope DC is right about sales beginning July 1st. We'll just have to wait and see!

 

[RweTHEREyet]

I really don't need more points right now

I don't either, but that isn't really the point, is it???

 

[Desnik]

Well, I really NEED more points and I really WANT an add on at BLT/CRV whatever it's called!LOL

 

[MAGICX2]

I really WANT more points! I don't think I can really classify that as a NEED. We are trying to keep to our budget for extras after we went thru our massive debt payoff over the past three years. DH and I both are very careful now to put things in a WANT and NEED category. Although, I think I might need to create a new category for BLT....MUST HAVE!
I am thinking maybe just 75 or so.........

The truth is that ALL DVC points fall into the WANT category (Sorry, but it's not a need unless you have to have it to survive. In spite of what you read on here you can survive without DVC! )

CarolA - don't know about that one. DVC got me thru college and some very bad times.

not sure what would have happen otherwise. Of course would definitely have more money. Or not might have been worst off if I still went to Disney without DVC.

 

[Tink-n-Belle]

Totally agree. Even if the only release 200 units to DVC it will be hard to sell out in a month with the state of the economy. Most of the Tax Relief checks have come and gone.

Mine is due to come July 12!!! Thanks for reminding me~~~~ Now I only need to come up with $10,000 more!!!

This is sooooo Exciting!!!

Well D.C. has been spot on before in his predictions

Pop over to rat owners.com insert "mouse" for rat and read all about it!

Site has a ton of original drawings and lots of BLT info--which was FIRST released on this site back in Feb 08 ..
