Just Got New Point Chart in mail - ????'s

[las3888]

Hi all,

We just received our 2013 point charts in the mail and were dismayed to see the rooms at BLT increase in certain seasons and categories. I didn't think Disney could do this? I did know that they could increase points more or less during the Sun-Thurs or Fri-Sat categories, but they still had to total the same for the weekly amount. Has anybody else noticed this or has any other info about it?

They moved some villas that had been listed as MK View to Standard View (which lowered the point costs for those villas) so they had to increase the number of points in other villa categories to make up for it.

They can't increase the totals for a resort for the year. But yes they can realign them as they please.

The THV didn't go up a ton but I am glad we're staying this year before the increase.

Thanks all, and now I do remember vaguely hearing something about it. Makes sense I guess. Our first stay at BLT had a somewhat questionable view of MK too.

Hopefully we can get into a standard view room a little more easily--we love the location and can sacrifice the view for the lower point cost.

Has anyone been able to confirm the category changes at BLT? Which rooms went to SV?

I know we speculated for quite awhile this past winter about it, but just wondering if we now know.

Unless DVC shares any inside information, I don't think we will know before people start checking into rooms in 2013.

I wonder how that works for people staying in the "converted " rooms on NYE? Do their points drop? Or does DVC keep points the same to keep someone from "freaking out" that they have to move rooms? Or will there be enough natural turnover? (so if you really want a decent MK view, do not check out on 1/1)
