I would assume the OP is trying to figure out some sort of availability for BLT owners vs non-BLT owners, but the anonymity of why this information is being gathered is suspect. We are BLT owners staying for 2 weeks in Dec-MK view 1br (called and miraculously got through the day ressies were released to owners)
Ha Ha Ha!
Sorry, yours was the post that got me to finally get around to answer. Actually, I had surgery last week, and I have been in and out of conciousness {did I spell that right?, oh well} I have been answering some other e-mails and letters and stuff, and have just gotten around to getting back to this thread. Information I was gathering was suspect?, Hmmm perhaps your right.
Actually, we purchased 50 points at the Towers (we have been DVC members at OKW since it's inception with 300 points} and we just wanted to see how easy, or hard it would be to even get into the Towers, even if we had points there. So far, we found out, through numerous searches, and contacts, that the Towers are filled up right through the end of the year, and I was not able to make any reservations at all, which we really suspected would be the case. We had thought that the economy was still bad, and no body was buying points or going on vacation, which is obviously not true. There are a LOT of people still going on vacation, although if you listen to the Orlando visitors bureau, you wouldn't think that!
Regarding the original question of the thread, we were simply wondering how many folks were able to get into the Towers that both HAD, and HAD NOT purchased points there.
Here is our dilema. When we first purchased DVC w-a-a-a-y-y back in the beginning, it worked really well for us. Because of our work situations, both my wife and myself had to make our vacation arrangements on very short notice, not a year or 7 months ahead of time. Which worked really well for us with the DVC. Having said that, as years went by, and there were so many more members, it became impossible for us to make these kinds of vacation arrangements. You had to do this way ahead of time, { yes, I know, there is the wait list, but even that does not work for us,as our time off is not that flexible} and this just does not work for us.......... I'm going to continue this later. The meds are kicking in, and I'm correcting far too many typing errors. Gotta nap now.
