My wife is now a BLT convert and it only took one stay!

[disneylandtour]

Location and villa room size/#ofbathrooms…. at $120pp and with reasonable dues it’s a great value….

Got a small (60 pts) resale contract for $115 last spring. There are deals to be had out there. I figure I use the points at 11 months for either an early Thanksgiving or early Christmas trip every year. (The week from Christmas to New Years is really NOT my thing.)

Love BLT for MK. End of the day when everyone is waiting for buses, monorail, ferry, boats you can be in your room before 90% of them ever board their transportation.

Looking forward to the remodel.

This was my first trip as a DVC member and I was surprised to be offered a 10% discount at Chef Mickey’s without even asking. I thought I was not even eligible as 100% of my points are resale.

So I figured I’d ask at Crystal Palace at dinner and was given it there as well, and when we bought merch on Main Street later I asked again and they only asked me to open my profile information page in MDE to see my membership number.

Is this a policy change or I just got lucky with cast members very liberally enforcing the rules?

Got lucky

Got lucky

Before I was in DVC, that phrase had a more significant meaning than a measly 10% discount

Well, it’s 20% off merchandise!!!

Maybe my wife will bend on her thoughts about BLT. I think the value alone is so hard to beat.

Currently visiting BLT for 2 nights to visit MK today and embark on the DCL Fantasy tomorrow.

My wife wanted nothing to do with buying at BLT at first but after staying here and experiencing the short walk to MK in the morning, quick AC monorail ride back for midday lunch (pickup from Steakhouse 71 which we ate in our 2 bedroom villa) she is now a convert.

We both love the layout of the 2 bedroom, the 3 bathrooms and considering the upcoming refurb I was expecting the room took a lot older than it is.
Even the sofa bad isn’t terrible.

Definitely adding a BLT contract to the portfolio now! Amazing location.

I can’t believe how much we did in 2h30! Tiana, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Under the Sea and 7 Dwarfs. Plus we met Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto at breakfast so the kids already feel like they’ve met so many. Glorious day!

I think we would all like to hear what you did that was so terrible that you found out the sofa bed wasn't that bad to sleep on.............

 

[JiminyCricketNJ]

Agreed. That extra bathroom is amazing. Can't wait to see the rooms after getting spruced up next year.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's always been my absolute favorite. The 1BR works for our family of 4. We love having the extra bathroom (DD takes it over lol) but the best feature for me is the laundry room! It was such a help during our 4th of July visit (instant drenching sweat). We also own at VGF but even my husband will say that he prefers BLT.

Our issue with BLT is that its so ugly.

We will see after the refurb what it looks like.

I would say another issue is needing to cross the open air bridge to get to food and the transportation being so spread out on where you need to go (Monorail vs Bus vs Walking).

The BLT video that @pkrieger2287 posted on DVCFan is really neat! Great idea! I would love to see more (but maybe half as long?)

 

[JulieBeeRN]

Yeah, I'll be interested to see how the rooms will look after the refurb too.

Based on the earnings call today, I think they’ll be having some “additional training” on discounts in the parks.
