You will NOT regret this decision. I had to sell our OKW points (members since 92) last year to pay for DD's tuition. I was heartbroken until I decided to do a small add-on at BWV (wanted to be able to do a std studio 5 days during FW or Xmas). I have all the benefits (as others have stated) and am still officially a DVC'er. Would I have liked to have kept my other contract, OF COURSE, but is this an accepatable alternative, YES. Best of luck with your new points.
