How Old Were You When You Purchased DVC?

[Montana Disney Fan]

We were 37 & 36. Should have done it when we were 31 & 30!

[athenna]

I bought at 33 (I'm still 33, by the way, still considered a newbie, I guess)
Couldn't have afford it when I was younger, I was money foolish.

[bobbiwoz]

Oh my, a poll where I'm in the oldest category! Glad to be there!!!

Bobbi :flower:

[JimC]

Voted 46-55 but we were actually 46 and 45 when we joined. Should have done it much earlier!!!!!!!!!!!

[POOH&PIGLET]

26-35 (But I've gone up in class since then.) ;)

[vascubaguy]

Bought in at 28 (29 now)

[Simba's Mom]

I'm in the second oldest category. It was my birthday present for my 50th birthday.

[cobbler]

We just bought. I am 28 and hubby just turned 34.

[dsneygirl]

We're youngins. We were 27 and 29. DH and I commented I think we were the youngest people at the Members Meeting on 10/19. :)

[lovinthemouse]

We bought at 33. Still 33 wish we would have bought 4 years ago when we first heard. But very excited now!!! :banana:

[KarenP99]

27 & 28, and pregnant with DD#1.

Now 31, 32 & have 3 kids! We're so glad we bought in when we did!

[Big J]

23 My DW and I got engaged that trip ( 98'). A great trip, and the most expensive week of my life.

[lisaviolet]

I'm in the second oldest category. It was my birthday present for my 50th birthday.

I smilied Simba's Mom. That's nice. And smart. You must have had a great birthday?!?!?!!?!?



I was 38 and my partner 43....still are.

[ACDSNY]

I voted 36-45, but we're a split couple. One of us is 43 then other 48. Wished we purchased years ago, I guess our grown kids will get more use out of it then we will. I keep teasing my DH that we'll still be going to Disney Parks with our walkers and wheel chairs when we get older. :rotfl2:

We purchased a small 100 point SSR contract with the hopes of adding on after we get two kids out of college.

[disneynutt1225]

In the lowest category again, LOL. We purchased at 23 and 25.

[disworldnum1]

we were 40 and 42 :cool1:

[rjthkids]

I was 23, my husband 28 :-) We had a one year old and we knew we would soon be adding more (and we did) :-) Three years later we're thrilled with the choice!

[debloco]

We were 38 and 42 when we bought a resale in 2004. Wish we would have purchased back in 1999/2000 when we first considered buying at VWL :rolleyes:

[cgcruz]

Well, im still waiting for Disney's ROFR, but if everything goes as planned, i'll be and owner of OKW at 23 years old.

[DisneyHumbug]

Same as Simba's Mom - I bought it for me for my 50th birthday!!!

[byoung]

55 should have done it earlier. :banana: :Pinkbounc :banana:

[justloveit]

Best purchase we've ever made. Now the ages of add-ons puts us in a different category ;)

[Pluto,]

30 and 33

[missymagic]

I am 33 and single. I have been taking my girls for years. I should have done it sooner but better now than never right!!!??? My divorce present to myself and the girls!!!

[Disneyrsh]

the poll may not skew properly since there are probably a lot more gen X'ers on the board as a total as opposed to the 50+'ers, since they may not have grown up with computers like we did.

[agotta]

We were 24 & 23. Just wish we could buy more points!!

[dtndfamily]

We just bought at 30 & 29. Just imagining Disney-ing at SSR when we are 79 & 78. LOL :rotfl2:

[spiceycat]

DVC was originally setup to be like other timeshares. when they did the first survey (that I remember) the average age was 35.

so Disney being Disney changed. the adventure collection, cruises (but I think these were in the orginally plan), concerige (they asked us for recommendations for this one) came into being.

I was 42 when I first joined - but 43 when I stayed with DVC.

I think DVC still has the youngest average age of any timeshare.
