Bay Lake Tower ?

I am sure this has been asked already but I need a quick answer:
Can you make a ressie here yet if it is not your home resort? I know about the 7 month but I was not sure if they started taking ressies.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

BLT opens on August 4 and they started taking reservations in February. We were lucky and booked a studio for two nights in late August. We are looking forward to checking it out!

We're staying there the week after Thanksgiving - we were booked at our home resort of VWL and were able to switch to a lake view room at BLT when our 7 month window opened up. I'm so excited to try it!!

This is DH and my's home resort, yet due to the availability (and subsequent expiration) of the DPs, we won't get to have our first DVC stay here! Oh well. I cannot wait until next year!!

Good luck getting a ressie!

Getting a ressie

Reservations started for members who purchased at this resort on Feb. 8th and then all other members on the 22nd. I believe. I bought into the resort as soon as it opened and was one of the founding members. I called on the first day and booked a one bedroom MK view for opening week. I will be there 8/4/09 through the weekend. I can't wait to be one of the first to stay at the resort. Good luck in getting a room. They still have developer inventory that you can pay cash for available but most of the Vacation Club inventory is gone.
