OK. I admit it. I've become a spoiled DVC brat. We are only a family of 3. Me, my DW and DD (8). We have spoiled ourselves by always staying in 1 BRs all across the DVC property.
With the cost of APs (which we keep), I'm really falling into the trap of needing to get more trips to justify the costs of continuing to keep our APs. Exactly the trap Disney wants us to fall into.
We don't cook. We make an occasional sandwich or throw a hot dog in the microwave. I don't recall staying in a studio but a couple of times, but I remember it feeling cramped. Again, I've spoiled myself and I know that.
We have about 450 points. I don't like borrowing. We want to go again maybe before school starts back, probably at Christmas, and finally to F&G. We'll skip F&W this year to go to Maine to see my wife's family.
Nothing's really left just before school goes back except a studio at SSR. I think we've stayed in one and we've definitely put friends in on in a 2BR lock-off before so the room is not a total stranger to me. I could probably start doing studios a couple of times per year and 1 BRs maybe once and have points to bank and that would be a good situation.
I know. It's pitiful and you all feel sorry for me, right?
Go less and stay in larger accommodations or go more often and stay in studios. You can't talk me off the wall, just convince me which one I ought to be jumping off.
FWIW, we are park-goers. We don't spend excessive time in the room or at the resort except we usually sleep in late and get in late from the parks.
What do you do?
