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

[lah3hh]

Congrats DVCMike!!! It seems as if you and I have been neck in neck on total point balances but now you have pulled ahead. I have only 1,200 at this point and have promised the DH no more add ons until Hawaii.

I have to admit I have the BLT bug real bad but trying my hardest to keep the promise to the Mr.

The very best to you and yours on having many more fantastic vacations with the additional points added to your account....

[ems_mom]

Ok, that's my DVC alter-ego. Real world me...Congratulations! I love your TR and look forward to your BLT reports.

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to many years staying at BLT.

Hello, my name is Mike and I am a DVCaholic!

Congrats Mike. I just joined the DVC in May and hope to add on next year somewhere, if there is anything available.
My first stay is in Sept at BLT. VERY EXCITED

I bet $20 you'll be buying Hawaii on the first day of sales!!

Jealousy is a terrible thing ... but at least I don't envy you trying to organise all those points

 

[DoOverDreams]

Wow, I thought 8 contracts were confusing!

I do have a question for you Mike. Did you buy all of your points through Disney or did you do some resale? We've got addonitis bad, but trying to justify the cost through Disney. As much as we love our guide, buying a higher number of points at a lower cost sounds awfully nice!

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.

Congratulations on your massive collection of DVC points - and your recent BLT add-on. You are an inspiration to us all - well, to those of us with addonitis.

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.

Our guide told us the same thing after we bought into BLT in May (that it might sell out in 2 months or so). We had already signed away on our contract when she said this. I have good reason to trust her. She's never lied to us and her estimates on resorts selling out have been pretty good. BLT sales were far more agressive than they'd expected - while VGC sales were the complete opposite.

Anyone who thinks that BLT inventory will be around until next year will be surprised when it sells out by this fall (or earlier).

Congratulations Mike!!

Out of interest, what sort of vacations do you take?? - I'd love to know what I could dream about doing, should I ever win the lottery and be able to buy that many too!!

All 23 contracts were purchased direct from DVC.

My guide 's me.

Congratulations!

My DH calculated that you can spend about 150 days/year at Disney in a studio low season with your points.

So how do you typically use your points? Do you splurge on 1 bedrooms and great views? I would!

We've accumulated 450 points in 3 years and already talk about adding on at VGC and/or Hawaii. It's not sounding too crazy to that we'll be in that 1000pt club someday.

I bet! Mike's on the phone cha-ching!!

Contats!!!! From 1 DVC Lover to another! We might not love the same resorts, but we definitely love our DVC!

With so many points, do you ever have to bank or borrow?

 

[DVC Mike]

So how do you typically use your points? Do you splurge on 1 bedrooms and great views? I would!

Even though there's just the two of us, we'll always book a 1-BR instead of a Studio. DW told me we must always book Boardwalk view at BWV and MK view at BLT.

We take 4 trips per year - each trip a minimum of 8 nights.

 

[DVC Mike]

With so many points, do you ever have to bank or borrow?

Actually, Yes.

With six resorts and just 4 weeks a year vacation, I'm always banking all the points for two resorts every year.
