Anyone else in your family DVC members?

[JACKie SPARROW]

No one from either side of our families own DVC-just us. In fact, we have been members since 2000 and still haven't told our family; I guess this is MY best kept secret

 

[DVCGeek]

My sister keeps talking about it, but wants to buy a house first!

What's wrong with just being welcomed home at DVC?

OT, the only family members I have that own DVC are one of my cousin's husband's parents and my grandma's sister- and I didn't find out about either until AFTER I became a member myself!

 

[mom of princessx2]

Just us and we can't even get any family to go visit WDW. I am still working on them though!

 

[twinklebug]

Me and me alone. Can't figure out a way to tell the family without them thinking I'm a nut-case

 

[erin.w]

We joined and my sister joined within a year of us buying. Since then have come to find out that my aunt's niece is a member (we gave her our referral) and my mom's brother and his family are also members. Both of them have been members for many years though.

I do not know one other actually living breathing DVC member...all I know are ppl who are too cheap to buy in but are always willing to help me spend my points (no WAY !!!)

Same here. My family would never even think to buy in. They are content to TRY and mooch a vacation off of me. Happened once, never again.

 

[WDW LifeLong Fan]

No, just us.

Except for all of my DVC friends here on the DisBoards and the many, many DVC friends we have made on our WDW trips over the years.

We are working on my wife's brother and his family.

 

[CMOORE185]

We purchased in 2000, my sister and BIL in 2006. I'm trying to convince them they need an add on.

 

[Castillo Mom]

Not yet but I'm working on it. Actually, my son just became a CM at DL so is eligible for a discount on DVC. He might jump on it in a couple months.

 

[wulfekamp]

There are a few people that live close we know that are members. My family thinks were crazy. You start talking DVC or Disney and they look at you like you have two heads.

 

[dallastxcpa]

Bunch of moochers in my family. Already asking me when next years vacation is.

Actually, both of my sisters have talked about ownership but neither one is at a comfort level right now to lay out that amount of cash. Although one of them is debating on doing small add purhcases in the resale market.

My Mom would love to buy, but at 65 just feels it wouldn't be the best idea. I told her that she could pass it on in her will but I don't think she wants to bother with it. We lost my Dad two years ago unexpectedly. Time is precious so Mom has an open invitation on all of our trips.

 

[ACDSNY]

Another one with a bunch of moochers. My DH keeps asking why we need so many points when it's just the two of us. I purchased with taking our grown kids and grandkids along, but I guess he likes to give me a bad time once in a while.

We've only once used a studio, all our other trips require a 2 bdrm or more.

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

We are definitely the only DVC members in the family.

They all think that we have completely lost our minds.

I'm sure that WHEN they go to the probate judge with the commitment papers, our joining a timeshare will be the leading piece of evidence. The DIS will be the 2nd.

They're coming to take me away. he he. They're coming to take me away.

 

[dvcdisney]

Nope. Just us. They don't really get it.

 

[4 mickey]

hi
My sister bought a little after me , we are disney lovers both of us ..as for others well they don't quite get it also but who cares DS & I love disney

 

[Chim Chiminy]

We bought at BCV in 2002, then added on when SSR was announced.

My parents bought at SSR in Dec. 2006.

Everyone else is happy to use our points, just don't want to buy their own.

 

[WeLoveAriel0505]

I'm at BLT and SSR. My sister bought BCV about 4-5 years ago. She loves the proximity to Epcot.

 

[Moeluv4u7]

One of my cousins who I haven't seen bought into AKV about 2 mos before we did- He and his wife and girls had also been going to Disney about twice a year every year for the last 5 years prior to that-
I happened to find out when we were about to sign (bytalking to my mom) so I used him as my referral and ended up getting the gift card for $500- for having a referral and he got $250-
He was surprised when I called and told him!
We still haven't gotten own at the same time yet to WDW-
We will be there again in July for our 2nd ever trip! My cousin, I know is going in November.
