Marilla, NY here.

I had to google that one! (...but you probably had to google Honeoye Falls!)

I'm not as familiar with the Buffalo area.

Anyone get details of the treehouse incentive? Weekday only? Any black out dates?

There's a post here on Mousecellanoeus about the details - if I were an SSR owner, I don't think I would be happy.http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=28738526#post28738526 See post #39.

Yep. I did see that. Forgot it wasn't on this thread. I pasted it below from Dr&momto2boys post in the above thread.

I was hoping someone would know the restrictions on the deal. You know that fine print that always comes along with it.

I just wanted to add the offer at the DVC Travel Show in NY:

$104 per point AKV - they did say AKV will be going up to $112PP soon
$112 per point BLT

$8 per point credit for AKV add ons
$5 per point credit for BLT add ons
credits may be applied toward downpayments
no closing costs

Additional incentives
For 100 point add-ons - in addition to above price credits you get a 3 night stay in the treehouse villas, with first choice of reservations before reservations open to SSR members or other DVC members

For 160 point add -ons - 3 night stay @ Regency hotel in NYC plus 2 Disney Broadway show tickets OR 5 night stay in 2 bedroom @ SSR plus $250 prepaid Visa card

For 200 point add ons - 5 night stay @AKV in 2 bedroom plus 3 days of fastpasses plus $300 visa card

For 270 point add ons - 6 night stay @ BLT in 2 bedroom villa plus 3 days of fastpasses plus $400 visa card OR 3 night cruise for 4 people in a cat. p room plus 4 nights in 2 bedroom at SSR plus 3 days of fastpasses

For 360 point add ons - Adventure by Disney trip for 2 people plus $500 visa card.



Can't wait to see future offers...and I hope they have a travel show or more likely Doorway to Dreams event in Chicago before April next year. (That's when I want to add on!)

Just got back from the show and added on! We did not get the Treehouse Villa offer but the guide told me there was no restrictions except that it had to be used by next fall and you obviously can't stay until they open in June. I am not sure when I could have booked though....he did say that there was NO restriction on what days you could use the stay.

I have to add that the show was wonderful!!! Just like the PP's said! Here is a pic of my DS..by the time we came through there was no line for the characters. They spent a ton of time with DS..it was great!!!

I think the treehouses open in June? So if you have to use it by fall that's not too many months. Not looking so good for us.

I know that SSR owners can start reserving in Feb.

I could have sworn he said you have a year but maybe I am wrong since we didn't look into that one as much. It was definitely a year for the SSR and AKL free stay offer. Yes, they open in June.

I was told that it could be used any time between June 09 and June 10. He also said it could be used for any three days, weekends included.

Good! I didn't think what I remembered about the T.House Villas was right!

 

[blondietink]

Just got back from the show and it was terrific! We did not add on, though. I believe they said that anybody who gets the added incentive for the Treehouse Villas or BLT that you would get first chance to reserve before reservations were open to the public.

The show was great, we got there at about 2PM and checked in at the desk and played in the museum until the show at 7, so the free admission was a nice bonus! Ended up adding on at AKV, I had been considering an add on and the incentive of $8 off per point, especially with points going up in January, as well as the treehouse stay and no closing costs had me sold. My daughter was the designated "cheerleader/screamer" for the 7PM show on Saturday so if you were at that one, well she was the screamer. I had it in my head about the add on prior to the show, so it wasn't like I was talked into anything, and it was absolutely a no pressure presentation, you didn't even have to talk to the sales reps unless you wanted to. The museum membership was a nice bonus and she loved the character greeting and dessert reception. I don't think I would have even considered going for BLT. Not only is the point price high, the point requirement for stays is high as well so it just wasn't for me, I like the most bang for my buck AKL will be just perfect

Your daughter did a great job!!!! That was a lot of fun & we're now the proud owners of a 100 point AKV add on!

My wife says it's my Christmas & birthday present. I said OK!!!

The show was definitely great, we did not add on anymore right now even though we wanted to. My son won the 25 AK points and the giant giraffe (Steve), we had a great time at the museum and will be using that free membership quite a few times as the kids loved the museum and did not want to go home. We were at the 7 o'clock show and I do remember the screamer.

Deb is absolutely correct, 6/09 thru 6/10 are the dates that the 3 nights has to be used in and it is any 3 nights.

There we go. That's what I was looking for.

Buffalo,NY signing on!

We were at the 4:00 show yesterday. Yes, we added on 100 points at Bay Lake Towers. I already knew I wanted to add on at some point and we just couldn't turn down the priority booking at the TreeHouses. We are SSR members already and are so excited about the TreeHouses We bought through resale the first time around and about 3/4 of the way through the process I decided we would go through Disney for any add ons. I just don't think the savings is enough to go through all that hassle. Our Bay Lake Towers points are already showing in our account!

Our 2.5 year old had a blast at the museum and we can't wait to go back, although I'm sure she will be expecting to see Mickey next time too!

Unfortunately we spent most of the reception talking to a guide, so we missed Chip n Dale and the treats. We did get to see Mickey and Minnie on the way out though which of course my daughter loved...she kept asking for Chip n Dale though, she loves those guys, she was more excited to see them on stage during the presentation then when Mickey and Minnie came out. Oh well... we'll see them on our next vacation!!!

Greece,NY Checking in....


We went on Friday & added on 100 pts @ AKV. We also own @ SSR so we are very excited about the Treehouse Villas. I didnt know we had till June 2010.. I thought they told us we could book after June 09, but needed to use by Oct 09. I will be very happy if we get a longer window. 4 months would be hard since there are not many room.

I have to say that Disney went above & beyond what we had expected. While we were looking over what we wanted to purchase, one of the cast members asked our 8 year old if she would like to see Mickey & Minnie because they were getting ready to go, He even used our camera to take a picture of her for us. Gotta love Disney !!!!

Sorry about your hearing That Giraffe was very cool though!
