So so glad it all worked out for you. We also love our DVC I too think it ties us into our memories of when our kids were little and it forces us to make the effort to go on holidays
Due to my job relocating us geographically our life is mad at the moment and I mean really mad. It would be so easy to just not go on holiday ana work through it but because we have our DVC we. Have to go next year which forces us to plan a good family break in.
I'd hate to be without my DVC and I'd be like you is protect it as long as I could in difficult circumstances
