What will be harder to book? THV vs BLT

[StayFLA]

THV & children: = We want to try this. We go to Disney to try different resorts. This gives us the chance. We will definately mark this for at least 1 trip.

I think the THV will be much harder to book.

Im excited, because THV fills a void in DVC. You dont really hit that void until you start planning a family gathering with multiple units.

The studio and 1 bed sleep the same amount of people and the 2 bed costs more than 2 studios, but you dont gain anymore beds or sleeping capacity over 2 studios.

Also, unless you have couples, you have the issue of sleeping together.

A THV gives me 6 separate beds, where a 2 bed would have 4 total. An SSR GV also has 6 beds. Different sizes, but I didnt want my 2 oldest sisters to have to sleep together, or my 2 brothers, so although we had a GV, my sisters had 1 bedroom upstairs and my brothers got the other. Dh and I had the master and I had to outsource our kids to a studio So we had 6 people in a GV (for the living space for our group) and 9 studios. No matter how I tried to make a 2 bedroom work it wouldnt.

That's not to mention the cool factor of having our own THV and having bikes to ride over to the main area. Many of my family were not interested in visiting the parks, but they loved SSR and the location to DTD and all the activities and the main pool.

SSR has always been a destination resort for us and we've always said that we would enjoy it even if it were not at WDW.

THV makes it even more of a destination and if the point charts are reasonable, our 2010 family reunion will be held there.

If the points were close to a 2br I would say definitely THV. I wonder with 60 units if it will take a little of the “pressure” of the other GVs. Just thinking of the people who want a 3 bedroom (and do not want to be split between 2 units) but do not need the 12 person capacity

Comes down to supply vs demand. There are only 60 THV avaialable. Now if the question was BLT MK view vs THV, I would say MK view.

Gee, I wish I'd have said that.....

What a great question. I tend to agree with all of the answer so far and am excited to have that 11 month booking advantage! For our trip next August I might have to forego making VB reservations in January if we're able to snag a few nights in a THV. Did any of the press releases mention when they'd start taking reservations for the THVs?? Predictions??
