Well, I am sorry it has taken me a while to announce this but i wanted to make sure everything was ok.
As of the closing the begining of next week we will be DVC owners!!!
My younge brother who is in the Army just became owners in July and got a great deal. So he told me about it. Well, I know with our doctor bills ect. our credit was not so good and we only had the money for the trip and no more! Well, we did not get financed but they told me if we wanted to get our foot in the door we could buy 50 points at Saratoga. Well, the cost was still over our budget for our trip and we did not want to give up our vacation in December. Well, I called my brother back and told him we just financially could not do it. We were short about 1500.00. Next thing I know he said Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday I am giving you your dream! My wonderful brother helped us out to make up the difference. He put the deposit down and last week we took our trip money and paid it off. Today was the last day for the 10 day hold and hopefully monday we will close. I know 50 points are not a lot but no matter what we will beable to come to Disney World for a least a few days every year for the rest of our lives!
Now, for everything gained there must be sacrafices. Well, after closing I will be canceling our cash reservations for this year! We are taking this year's points and next year's points and going to stay at a studio (not one bedroom) from Dec. 12th-14th and then a studio at Old Key West studio 14th-20th. So we are cutting our trip down. The other issues are we now had to pay for the dinning plan seperate on top of our original budget. So no deluxe dinning. Another cut!
The other major cut is tickets! When we stay at the BCV no parks(we want to got to Epcot on the 13th but don't have money for the single day base ticket) but our stay at OKW 14th - 20 we have 3 tickets that we have for time in the past. We plan on hitting parks on extra magic hours to make the bes of it. It came down to eating or playing.
I hate that we had cut backs and that we are having to rearrange our plans some but we are gaining so much more!
No matter how cold December will be Joeseph will get to get in the SAB and get his dream of staying at the BC. Maybe not on his birthday but he is so excited about becomeing owners he don't care that we downgraded the room.
Words can not explain the humble heart I have that my brother blessed our family so much. His career in the Army has kept us seperated so much but what he told me was that with both of us DVC owners our kids will always get to meet up at least once a year from now on! So in May I will get to travel back down and see my brother, sister-in-law, and my nieces (two and half Payton, and 4 year old Isabel) I haven't seen since April 2009!
I am sorry for changing our dates again, but we ae so excited!
We will be at the beach club villias the 12th-14th of December. (excited because the 12th is a monday and we might get to see Teena!)
Everything looks good just praying nothing delays closing next week. All paperwork and money is down so nw it is just a waiting period!
The only other thing is getting all the extra money togeather for gratuities on our few table services, laundry quarters, and drink money! Spliting a cocktail seems a lot cheaper than one a piece! Gas money and
scooter money covered!
Seems a little early and we have a couple of days where we want to end up at SAB around 7pm! Not really worth it if we will only be able to enjoy it for an hour. 
I have heard about construction at the YC, can anyone comment on it's impact to the resort?
