Posting here to share as our family members and friends have always rolled their eyes when we mentioned being interested in DVC. Want to share with those who would ‘happy dance’ with me! Thank you for letting me share here (and for teaching me so much over the years)!
I have researched here so much over the past 15 years and struggled with deciding on home resort, use year and debating our vacation plans as our kid’s ages were so varied. The timing never seemed right.
DH and I had our first ‘couples’ trip ever over Memorial Day 2020. We visited a number of resorts we had not ever been to and that helped remove some from the list. We also decided that it would be nice to be ‘forced’ to take a couple’s week or weekend more often to take a break from work stress.
DH really, really liked the Riviera. We spent some time at the pool bar and just relaxed. We both really enjoyed it! I did not like the idea of restricted points…..
We have very young grandchildren now. First trip with them is upcoming on rented points (I know, not the smartest move but we were still so undecided 2 months ago and not in agreement on Riviera and room availability at Disney appeared to be shrinking - I was nervous). We will enjoy it anyway!
We see many more trips for ourselves, with the kids/grandchildren and possibly a girls weekend or two.
DH sat down with me yesterday and we worked through future plans. He agreed that it makes sense for us to be members! We have spent so much for rooms over the years and it’s not going to stop and the prices keep rising. He wanted Riviera and I said let’s do it! We called. Our points are in our account already!
Poor guy, I’m already prepping him for Poly in 2024, lol!
So excited to be members and looking forward to making so many more memories with family and friends!!! Have to admit when our guide told us Welcome Home, my eyes teared up - I’ve waited a long time to make this happen!!!
