DVC announces BLT and Treehouse Villas!

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Quote:
The Walt Disney Co.'s rapidly growing time-share division takes an aggressive step forward today when it unveils plans for two new resorts in Orlando -- even as Disney Vacation Club battles some of the strongest financial headwinds it has ever faced.

Disney this morning will formally reveal plans for its Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, confirming earlier reports that the 15-story tower rising just beyond the Magic Kingdom will be used for time shares. The company also will unveil plans to sell time shares at the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, a secluded community of 60 units that is being rebuilt in a forested pocket of Walt Disney World.

The twin announcements ensure that Celebration-based Disney Vacation Club, which has grown to nine resorts and more than 350,000 members, will have more time shares for sale in 2009 than it has ever had before.
Full story is available HERE.

BLT will open on Sept 1, 2009. BLT owners can make reservations starting Mar 1, 2009.

BLT Points cost $112. Members who purchase a min of 100 points get a $5 incentive ($107 per point). Dues are about $3.67 per point.

BLT views include Magic Kingdom (20%), Lake View (70%) and Std View (10%).

I think they were because when I called they were closed at 2 but my guide was still there. I asked about BLT and she said that it will be a ton of pts for 1 week stay I think I rather use my pts for 3 weeks in Disney than 1 week and then have nothing till the next year

Re: DVC announces BLT and Treehouse Villas!

The treehouse villas are interesting, but honestly, we have always known that if we were in that remote sort of resort, we'd feel too far form the magic. That would be a total bummer ofr our family, so I am OK with not wanting points there too badly.

The BLT, on the other hand... ((wrings hands))... I am sort of wanting to be there, at least once!

Re: DVC announces BLT and Treehouse Villas!

I'm excited that DVC has finally announced my soon-to-be next home resort. I am definitely adding on points at Bay Lake Tower as soon as they go on sale (Sunday?).

I gotta say, I'm not all that fond of the decor, surprisingly!

Re: DVC announces BLT and Treehouse Villas!

Just received an email from my aunt regarding this DVC. Here's part of what she wrote:

Bob got an email from some strange woman who calls herself the "First Lady of the Disney Vacation Club" and I didn't forward it to you because it takes too darn long for the upload. However, she confirms that the construction at The Contemporary is a new Vacation Club resort and that this will be revealed during a special called "Season of Disney: Disney's Best Kept Secret" on September 18th at 8:00 PM on The Travel Channel. Thought you might want to catch it.

I know - and usually I like contemporary. But it looked a little more "Ikea" than sophisticated or funky to me.

Decor is really important to me, so it makes it easier for me to try to resist buying in!
