Thank you to everyone!!! I'm gonna start "playing" with the website to see what I can find... but then I'll call MS!!

So much good info was shared! I'll definitely be referring back to this thread!

Hi there,
I just bought DVC while here on vacation! It still hasn't sunk in!

Anyway, I wonder if anyone has any tips for a brand new owner! What was the first thing you did? Anything you wish you did differently?

Also, did you have to buy DVC merch? I feel like i need to get something "DVC" before I leave!

Thanks!

Where did you buy?
I would have bought more only paid $60/point at BWV 1998

For your first stay, book over the phone and mention (though they should know) it's your "Welcome Home" stay. DVC will, if possible, reach into their own room inventory to accommodate you.

Yes. Don’t book anything unless you REALLY want that as your first stay. We booked a short stay online then heard about the welcome home stay. Unfortunately, because of the first short trip, the welcome home option wasn’t available.

Thanks! I will do this! I want to book something in December... still deciding.. but might also want a short stay in September.. but not as important! So I'll call about the December stay first! Thanks for the tip!
