Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone had ever been in my situation. I'm planning on purchasing a small resale DVC contract within the next 6 months. I haven't yet decided where to buy-- but to start out I'm probably only looking at 100 points. My daughter and I (she's 11) usually go to WDW together (although we've only been once, staying offsite at Hilton Bonnet Creek, and this time we're staying at Yacht Club). My husband is fine with the purchase as long as I pay in cash and I pay off a small balance on our credit cards first. BUT I'm seeing all those posts about the whole family being on board with Disney, and he just isn't. But he's only been to Epcot for a senior trip in the early 90s and doesn't remember anything about it. What do you think the chances are he converts? Not into a fanatic, but into someone who at least would enjoy himself? Any converts out there?? Although my daughter and I could use it exclusively, he told me that if we buy in he's coming with us (we will probably do two trips a year of 3 and 4 days each). It's sort of like getting his money's worth at an all-you-can-eat-buffet-- he may not think the food's that great, but by gosh he's going to eat his money's worth. Yeah, he's that guy. I just don't want to think I'm forcing him (even indirectly) to do something he'd hate. So I'm hoping for stories from reluctant Disney spouses who turned into excited DVC owners. I also have very young grandchildren, so eventually I'm hoping to add to the points and vacation with them. Again, he says he is fine with this idea. I was thinking of taking him during F&W and maybe he'd develop more enthusiasm? Any other suggestions welcome.
