Did you call MS on Feb 8? What did you get?

**DVC Mike** · 02-08-2009, 09:52 AM

Did any of you call today to book BLT or THV? What did you get?

I got through right at 9am.

I now have a 1-BR with a Magic Kingdom View room at BLT booked for Dec 5 - Dec 12 (7 nights)!!!!

**hlkeck** · 02-08-2009, 10:43 AM

I've been trying awhile - not even to book BLT or THV! I just want to book AKL for the marathon in 2010...

**markyv** · 02-08-2009, 10:50 AM

What is blt and thv?

**hlkeck** · 02-08-2009, 10:51 AM

bay lake towers and tree house villas

**Thumper03** · 02-08-2009, 10:53 AM

We had nothing but busy signal...when we got through once, we were booted out again before we got to a human.

Still trying

...also booked on-line but not sure if that will actually work since it said they would get back to us in 3 days!!

**DizneyFreak2002** · 02-08-2009, 11:20 AM

I started calling at 9:00 AM... I kept getting "Your call did not go through" messages... I finally reached MS at 9:45, sat on hold until 10:15... Finally, a rep picked up.. I changed my reservations from two weeks at Saratoga Springs to one week at the tree houses and another at Bay Lake Towers..

I just don't like how I had to work out my points... I have 320 points total for this year... 140 for SSR, 100 for BLT, and 80 banked from 2008... Well, when I tried to book 5 nights at BLT with a MK view, the total points came to 175... I had to borrow 75 points from 2010, which I did not want to do.. Kicker is, I now have 75 points left over for 2009... Seems to me that they can easily use those 75 points for 2009 and NOT the points for 2010... Kind of screws me up with my points for next year now...

**Thumper03** · 02-08-2009, 11:51 AM

been at it for 3 hours now...busy signal!! You've got to be kidding...

**Sunshine1010** · 02-08-2009, 12:02 PM

When can I book THV for November 2010?

Finally in the system on hold - estimated wait time 20 minutes...

**hlkeck** · 02-08-2009, 12:32 PM

Finally booked for 2010 marathon and just to follow up from something posted from another thread...

I just asked for a studio, concierge, AKL - booked at exactly 11 months out - and did NOT get it for all 3 nights I'm there next January...I have been able to concierge before, but it is pretty tough to get. It was available for 2 of the nights - so I'm on a waitlist now...

Just an FYI.

WOOT!!! No Studios or One-Bedroom MK View left, but there was 2 bedroom!!! We took it since we are only going to be there for two nights, the points worked out perfectly.

Oct 11th and 12th - We're VERY excited!!!!

Nice... I will be there the week after..

**Maleficent's Dad** · 02-08-2009, 04:16 PM

This morning was pure torture...

To those of you who got through early - you do not realize how lucky you were.

We had 2-4 phones going at once from 8:55 AM on. It took me until 11 before I was put on hold (for another twenty minutes).

HERE'S MY BEEF
Why did DVC open reservation lines for BOTH THV and BLT on the same day??? They had to expect it to be a mob-scene. The THV will be "open for business" two months before BLT. So what's with the rush to have the reservation lines accepting for both today? Makes no flippin' sense to me...

For those wondering, I was able to book exactly what I wanted. Guess I did get lucky...

**Momof2boys** · 02-08-2009, 06:30 PM

I started calling at 7:56 Central Time - we had 3 phones going. I got thru at 7:59 and went thru a few prompts. My wait time was 2 minutes. I had my ressie switched over from normal 1-bedroom SSR ressie to the Treehouses by 8:06. I was really surprised how quick & easy it went.

Sorry for those who had issues.

I also was surprised that they'd have both ressie openings on the same morning - seemed like poor planning on their part.

**LoveDVC** · 02-09-2009, 07:41 AM

Got thru around 9:15. We booked a studio at BLT for Nov 28 and then a 2 bedroom from Nov 29-Dec 1 and then we are heading to BCV (which we booked in January) from Dec 1- Dec 6th. Tried adding on another night at the end of BCV for Dec 7th but we are waitlisted.

**wendy*darling** · 02-09-2009, 01:27 PM

Congrats to everyone who booked what they wanted!

If SSR is your home resort, you can book Nov 2010 in Dec of 2009.
If it is not your home resort, you can book Nov 2010 in April of 2010.

seems like dogs fighting for scraps off the table already.....

oh joy

**Sunshine1010** · 02-09-2009, 08:08 PM

Thanks Linda....I don't know why I wasn't thinking straight.

One last question: will this include being able to book the Tree Villas also?

(yes, SSR is my home resort)

**MyDisneyworld** · 02-09-2009, 11:03 PM

Called at 9am and got through within 15 - 20 minutes and was able to book the THV for the end of October. Can't wait, dream come true. Good luck to everyone trying.
