I added-on at BLT (again): Contract #23

[DVC Mike]

I added-on another 125 points at BLT today, giving me 425 points at BLT and 1,250 points overall.

This is my 22nd add-on to my original, giving me 23 contracts. At least they're all the same UY.

After seeing the recent pictures of BLT in the media (especially those fantastic views), my opinion that BLT will become my favorite resort was solidified.

Once I get the paperwork, I won't return it until after the new incentives are announced. If the new incentives are better for me, I'll simply tear it up and have it re-written; otherwise, I'll sign it and send it back.

My guide repeated what I've heard on other boards: that BLT is selling faster than expected, and faster than BCV did.

Now, I was already sold and she had no reason to tell me this to get me to buy, so perhaps there is a tad bit of truth to this? Or maybe that's what the management is telling their sales force. She mentioned that BLT might sell out in a month or so.

Contratulations, Mike. I almost wish all my points were at BLT but alas, it wasn't available at the time and we bought what we could get (not knowing a lot of things we know now). We're happy though and I'm happy for you and your wife. We're all gonna love BLT. I just know it.

You know, I've stood people down relentlessly here on the boards that there was no way BLT was going to sell out by year's end and probably not before mid 2010 at worst. In this economy, I'm surprised to see yet another confirmation that I may have been not just wrong but actually quite wrong.

If BLT indeed sells out inside a month or two, it's going to be interesting to see what happens on the resale market; especially if DVC doesn't announce another new monorail resort somewhat immediately. If it sells out that quickly, we may see the first time in history where resale goes above the price Disney is asking for existing properties at the same time. I assume this has never happened before?

Certainly, OKW is an example of a property that demands more dollars/point today than it sold for originally (obviously, inflation and the delta in the value of the dollar forsaken) but I don't know of any property that has sold for more per point than Disney was asking for currently available properties. Could this happen? It certainly isn't beyond the rhealm of possibilities and it appears that it could happen even before the property officially opens for business. Wow!

I know it's unlikely but I wanted to be able to proclaim the first to mention the possibility/likelihood in case it ever does.

Mike, I have to ask :


Are You DVC23 ????



Congratulations

 

[rentayenta]

I see why they call you DVC Mike! Can you send some of what you are drinking to my DH?

 

[jade1]

I mean this in a good way.......

 

[Steamboat Girlie]

DVCMike,
You are a rock star!
You continue to be an inspiration!

 

[spiceycat]

WOW!!!! very impressive.

so how many in total BLT points do you have?

BCV sold for more in the resale market than DVC even though it was worth.

which is why SSR, AKV and BLT are priced higher.

gonna stay there in Sept!!!

 

[spiceycat]

boy should read more carefully - so 425 points at BLT - Mike though you had 600 points at BLT.

so are you going to stay in a GV on one of your visits?

 

[princessfionasmom]

You are my idol ! My dream is to get to 500 someday and since I only have 50pts I have a long way to go . Just started my own business just to feed my new disease, addonitis!

I added-on another 125 points at BLT today, giving me 425 points at BLT and 1,250 points overall..

Congrats Mike, the BLT bug has been flying around my head too.

Now, I was already sold and she had no reason to tell me this to get me to buy, so perhaps there is a tad bit of truth to this? Or maybe that's what the management is telling their sales force. She mentioned that BLT might sell out in a month or so.

Can you ask when they would start the Poly?

 

[bobbiwoz]

Congratulations! If BLT sells out in a month or so...well, I imagine there won't be any better incentives than right now.

Ok Wilson using this logic is it safe to speculate on another DVC based solely on the Monorail? I know for a couple years we all have debated Poly/GF DVC and OBVIOUSLY this is what owners are wanting. It just seems like such an easy decision but then again its not my millions making the plans....Shawn

 

[YoTony2]

WOW!!!

 

[Pirate Jack]

Wow DVCMIKE!!! I am sooooo jealous! I was so happy to have just 50 BLT points .... you are one lucky guy!!!
