From the Orlando Sentinel:

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.

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 got the email too. Very exciting! :sohappy: We will not be buying - we love OKW - but it would be fun to try both of them for a change of pace sometime. We stayed at both places in our pre-DVC days and loved both of them.

Deevy See is adorable! We saw her last year at a promo for the AKLV outside of Epcot. She was hostess of "Welcome Home Wednesdays" at the BWV this summer so we saw her again in August.

You have to appreciate the level of energy this woman maintains. Doing a live appearance with audience participation is a tough job. She stays overly perky no matter how dull the audience member's comment might be. She does a great job.

I would love to purchase some add-on points at Bay Lake Tower, but we're not in the market right now. The Contemporary has a special place in my heart and the decor is gorgeous. I'm not a WL kind of person. I can't wait to see Bay Lake "in person" next summer.

I have been thinking about an add-on since the demolished the north wing, but with the market being as it is this week, plus the bad economy, I don't know if the $112 price point appeals to me. The points chart didn't impress me either. :(

It's $107 per point if you buy a minimum of 100 points.

Yes, I knew about the $5 per point discount if you bought 100 or more points, but being a resident of central FL, it doesn't make sense for me to buy that much in an add-on. I was only looking at 50. And it's not in my budget. I don't work two jobs because I don't have anything better to do with my time....:lol:
