Addonitis Cured

[bobbiwoz]

I swore we bought enough with our initial 150 at BWV. Then a few months later I was sure we were done when we added 180 at VWL. Once AKV was for sale, we couldn't resist another 200 at AKV, our favorite resort, even though we really didn't need them. Now, once I looked at how many points it would really take for us to have the days we want each year in a one bedroom for the length of time we want to go during the season we want to be there, I knew we needed another 25 at BWV and 100 at AKV. This time I'm really sure we have enought point. Yup, no more points needed.

I hear you!

Actually, I'm considering another add-on of more points at BLT before the incentives change on June 15.

Me too! I am going to listen to the webcast and see what that is about before deciding...

I'm going to call my guide on Tues or Wed and start the add-on. If the incentives on June 15 are better, then I won't return the contract and ask that a new one get written up. Chances are the new incentives won't be as good as the curent ones, but you never know.

I thought we were bad with 9 parts to our contract!

ours has 9 parts, too.

And it doesn't cure. A few weeks ago we were at vero, and I said something to my wife about how many points would it take for a weekend at vero every year. The next day she was like "were you serious about that?"

I heard it will give first time buyers the same incentives as current owners, only time will tell.

LOL! We took the DVC tour back on New Year's Eve, primarily to get some extra fast passes to use during our trip and because we had sworn off the choas of parks that day. DH and I were both very good at saying "no thanks" regardless of the times our guide tried to show us how we could maximize trips and save lots of money by going DVC.

Fast forward to late March/early April. DH is surfing the boards and sees the new incentives for BLT. "Well...maybe we should buy 160 pts", he says. I respond back with "why not 200?". We settle on 200 and call our guide. The documents arrive and there is a typo. No problem--fix the mistake, right? While we are waiting to hear back from our guide, we start talking. "300 sounds good, don't you think?" Our guide calls back and we up the contract to 300 and they send us a perfect copy of the contract.

A few weeks ago I start saying to DH, "What if they offer amazing incentives on the cruise?" DS and I are going on tomorrow. "Wouldn't it be great to stay at GCV when we're out in DL?" Guess what??? I haven't even gotten to Florida or the ship yet, and we've already got 125 pts. at GCV as of yesterday.

Talk about being in a buying frenzy! Five months ago we said we weren't interested in DVC. Now we own 425 pts. at BLT and GCV, sight unseen (other than that nice BLT mock-up at the DVC presentation).

I'm hopeful we've fed the beast enough and we can just enjoy the points we have for now.

Hurry up June 15 incentives change hit only 575 until the 1000pt club
