2042, what are you going to do?

[altogethernow]

"The program is currently scheduled to end on January 31, 2042- for OKW, BWV, VWL and BCV."

Just curious, what are you going to do when the program ends in 2042 (assuming you're still alive, knock on wood)? Will DVC make a special extension, do you think? If not, will you buy into the program again? Silly question, I know, but just curious.

First, I will be glad to be celebrating my 77th birthday that year!
Second, I will find my own best way to enjoy Disney with my (God-willing) great--great grandchildren with or without DVC.

Assuming every resort is still in good shape, and that Disney is still a high demand vacation area, I believe they will have to make some sort of provision that will allow renewals or they risk dumping a high amount of inventory on the market at once--DIsney is too smart to do that. I suppose they could choose to convert them into longer-term living communities or straight hotels, also.

I'm going to Disneyland!


Sorry, couldn't resist with the way the question was phrased.

HEY NOW! THAT is a great idea! Considering that in 2042, most of it's members will be ederly, convering it into a 55+ retiremnet community would be wonderful! I would be the first in line with my belongings, all set to move into an OKW GV. LOL

Can you see all of us old cronies having a pool party at SAB? Last one down the water slide is a rotten egg! LMAO

We will be 84 years old(hopefully) in 2042......so I will leave it up to our 2 kids(29+17 now).

January 31, 2042 is just 39 years away.

That will be the exact day of my 87th birthday. Hopefully I am not drooling in some nursing home. Maybe I'll be one of those spry old timers they put on TV going down splash mountain 25 times in a single day.

I eventually hope to add points at SSR or some other future property that DVC builds with a 2050 date, which should take me well into my mid 90's. After that, I will be a greeter at Walmart!

 

[EdDome]

I'll either be 90+ or well...you know. If I'm long gone by 2042, my will requests my ashes to be spread by the readhead in the Pirates ride.

[4greatboys]

Tiberius--I'll be 77 that year to Hopefully we will still be making trips to disney--guess with the grandkids and/or great grandkids

 

[BillPA]

I'll be decomposing.

 

[Laurabearz]

In 2042, I will be wishing I hadnt borrowed and used all my points in 2041, and prolly still on the waitlist for VWL points!

 

[jimmytammy]

Im gonna cry like a baby!!

 

[WolfpackFan]

Well since I'll either be dead or 92 at the time, it's really a non-issue for me. I doubt very seriously I will be wanting to ride Tower of Terror when I'm 92 (but then you never know).

 

[jcodespoti]

Hopefully I'll be able to find my teeth!!!

Speaking of teeth.

Well since I'll either be dead or 92 at the time, it's really a non-issue for me. I doubt very seriously I will be wanting to ride Tower of Terror when I'm 92 (but then you never know).

My Grandmother rode the coasters untill she was 82..she quit because she was worried about here false teeth flying out!!!

Is it possible to get a walker on Space Mountain .

 

[timC]

I plan on giving our points to our children, once they've established a family of their own. In 2042, DS1 will be 52, and DS2 will be 48.

Think about it...after 50 years of family traditions, memories, etc it would be quite devastating. Then again, I'm sure Disney will have many new options available to keep them coming back for more .

 

[Geyser Gazer]

I'm gonna be glad I added on at SSR way back when in good ol' 2003.

 

[DrTomorrow]

As an SSR owner who really appreciates all the help - and all the friendly people - here on the DIS, I'll be reserving a GV and inviting as many of you as will fit to spend the week! (Although I think Nick has a better smiley....)

 

[dianeschlicht]

LOL! Since I will be 94 and my oldest "kid" will be 73, I doubt I will be worrying about it! I am just glad we have and will have all those years of a pre-paid vacation.
