Any solo DVC owners? I just took the plunge!

[GrimGrinningVal]

Yep, I'm single and bought DVC at Beach Club Villas back in 2002 during pre-opening pricing. Love it.

There's no other place I'd rather be for my Food and Wine Festival trips. I've got my December stay there, but I wouldn't mind either "lodge" for that for the holiday decor.

I am really looking forward to Hawaii when it opens, as well as using my points at DLR at the Grand Californian Villas.

I too am excited about the DVC property in Hawaii; first heard about in on a Disney cruise in Nov '08...

Nothing beats the WL for the holidays; fantastic!!

Well, I hope you enjoy your first DVC stay!

And thanks for rubbing it in about me having to share points... i forsee having to buy my own DVC contract in the future

Thank you!

well look at it this way, you don't have to buy 160 points since you are already a member, so you can just buy a small contract and go from there

Although I'm not single, I often travel to WDW solo. 100 of our points are at Beach Club Villas, just for my solo trips because I love it there and DH much prefers OKW. So our BCV points are "my" points. I just love the studios there-perfect for my solo trips; in the words of Samantha Brown-"like my own little homestead".

That's true; gotta be some advantages for already being a member!

Oh, I just noticed that our birthdays are like a week apart

Be careful as the dues are considerable higher for Vero Beach, so it might end up costing more in the long run.

If thats your plan, you might want to buy resale at SSR

ooo...thanks for the heads-up!

I am a solo owner at BWV and BCV. Am thinking about buying some more points so I can stay at a one bedroom!

Hi! That is what I ended up doing. Now I am very spoiled and happy about being spoiled.

I am on the fence. I can't decide where I want to buy. Right now I am debating between the Boardwalk area, SSR or OKW

nice thing about OKW is that the rooms are bigger. The studios have 2 beds in them vs the queen and a sofa sleep as in the other studios at other resorts. The Boardwalk... well, its near JRs, and have it near 2 parks. And SSR is nice. It was where I first bought... and you can walk to DTD too.

I've been a solo owner (getting married in December) at BWV and have loved being so close to Epcot and the Studios and so many great restaurants and places to go at night. Highly recommended! OKW is nice, but far more spread out, so it depends on what you like. It's all good!

The main thing about owning somewhere isn't just that its a place you like, its that you can book there 11 months in advance. I don't mind that for some of the places that I like I have to wait until 7 months because I dont own there.(but am looking to add on from some of the resales)

Another single DVC owner here. I own at BCV, VWL and BLT. I've taken my adult children and grandchildren once, but I normally travel solo or with my friend RedbudLover

 

[DisTeach]

I am a single owner who just bought BLT 2 days ago!

I too am a solo DVCer. I bought when my son was still at home but now that he's on his own, it's me all the way However, I have yet to travel solo. Much of my family had never been so I got to play tour guide and that is the best thing. I loved the looks on my parents' faces when they walked into the 2br at SSR I have family and friends trips planned until 2012 but then maybe I'll be able to take a solo (although I doubt it because WDW is lots more fun when you have someone to share it with)

 

[wdposter]

my sig other does not like disney like me. I bought some small points in VWL so I could take these two day junkets when I get the urge and the flights are very cheap from detroit. Love to sit at the poly and by the pool for a few drinks. It does get a little boring riding by yourself at the theme parks. Never thought of hooking up with other single owners who enjoy this place as much as me. I bought into VWL so I didn't need to rent a car and you are on the loop so to speak. It would be nice to spend a day at the park with another like minded person!!! I had four days in december planned but couldn't get any one to go with me............ who would have thought. So I am back to two days here and there when the air fare is cheap. So if your going and want company let me know what days you will be there. I enjoy the better resturants and good company! Martin
