When will the points chart be out and is Main low because

[Tigger1]

When will we know how many points a unit takes?
It sounds as if maintenence is low $3.69. I betting that is because it requires so many more points per night.

Will BLT have Concierge rooms?

No word on concierge that I have read yet

I am interested in this info, too.

If you sign onto DVC.com and select the point calculator you can plug in dates and pick a room size to see how many points a vacation would be.

If I remember right, the choices for rooms were std, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom or GV each with a standard view, lake view or MK view, except GV doesn't have a standard view. I didn't see any mention of concierge.

It is a high-rise complex. Maintenance fees are cheaper due to this.

For the condos we've lived in here at home, maintenace fees (aka condo fees) are lower for high-rises than for spread-out complexes. There are less grounds to maintain, for one thing.

Higher points cost would be one factor, but I agree with the villain that the lower cost of high rise developments compared to low level is probably the biggest single reason.

As well as no mention of consierge I didn't see any mention of dedicated restaurants for the BLT. I saw a members lounge mentioned, but not a restaurant. It also seems the pool would not be a "feature pool" in the manner of VAKL and just one extra pool as opposed to the 4 or 5 at DSSR. All of those tend to be a cost items to running a resort, therefore increase the dues costs.

I think DVC is mostly doing the more points per-room angle, though. It seems to take 20% more points per room per night, and the maint fees are 20% less per point.
For easy math: Does not matter if you stay in a 20 point/night room w/ $5/night maint fees or a 33 point/night room with $3.33 maint fees. In both cases you are paying $100/night in maint fees.

Now if you use your $3.33/point maint fee points contract to stay in the resort with lower points costs and $5/point maint fees, then you start getting ahead!

Uhhh...the biggest single reason is that DVD subsidizes the maintenance fees heavily (based on past experience) at new resorts.
