Hi everyone! I am brand new here and brand new to DVC as well. My fiance and I went to DW in February 2014. Though I have been there many times before, this was his first trip. On the second to last day, he asked me when we were going to come back again. I just knew then that Disney was going to be an ongoing trip for us. Since then I have been considering DVC, though it was more a sometime in the distant future kind of thing.
Well then I watched the Poly webcast and just knew this resort was right for us. Beautiful rooms, flexibility and monorail access. We love to travel and have many places on our bucket list. We are also pretty young and don't have children yet. We talked about how often we would want to visit Disney and settled on once every two years being perfect for us. But I didn't think we could afford the buy in yet, since we wouldn't want to finance it at all. But when our guide called us he said we could buy as few as 50 pts to start out. I was shocked that we could buy in with such a low number, since everywhere else I read said the minimum is 100 points.
So we just purchased 55 points at the Polynesian last night! We hope to add on another 25-30 pts next year after we have had some time to save up the additional money (after the wedding in August, things should get easier).
We are planning for our first trip during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival in 2016 (around my birthday!). The 110 pts from this year and next should get us a SV studio for 6 nights during that time. I am so excited and cannot wait!
