Re: Bay Lake Tower, who's planning their first stay?

Just finished and was able to get our MK view 1-bedroom for Christmas week.

To all those still on hold- the CM told me that she has had no problem getting every reservation as requested- people are choosing different weeks so there is hope.

Re: Bay Lake Tower, who's planning their first stay?

One hour and 49 minutes and I still can't get through!!!!!

I got through TWICE and went through all the menus.....then I got a BUSY SIGNAL and it disconnected me. TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO MAD right now.

I know for a fact they don't have any MK View Studios on 12/31, which is one of my dates.

Re: Bay Lake Tower, who's planning their first stay?

OH... MY... GOSH!! I started dialing at 8:58am this morning & it was busy STRAIGHT through until FINALLY at 9:46 I heard a ring and I almost had a heart attack!! THEN, I was "holding" with music for 26 minutes & FINALLY the nicest CM answered & was SO excited about BLT. While she was booking our trip she told me everything she knows & how gorgeous the pool area is going to be, etc.

YAY! We are staying Dec. 16th-20th in a Magic Kingdom View Studio!!

Well, it looks like all of us MB BLT owners have the WHOLE month of December covered but none of us overlap. I was looking forward to a little BLT club meet & greet!

Re: Bay Lake Tower, who's planning their first stay?

I was able to make my ressies...after hitting redial for 2 hours!!!!!

I booked the following ressies that I will be renting out later in the year:

MK VIEW Studio 5 nights - Christmas week
LAKE VIEW Studio 5 nighs - New Years week

Sadly, I won't be going for the Christmas holiday this year. But I WILL be spending President's week 2010 at BLT!!!!!! I will be booking that next month. I am SUPER excited about that!!!

I was hitting the redial so much that I almost hung up when it started ringing.

I'm now out of BLT points for the 2009 year and hit the 2010 for a few to make it work. The BAD thing is how very far away the trip lookes when I see the counter.
