Okay - you'll all be happy to know that I put crazy to bed last night.
Crazy and silly. Crazy and silly needed bed rest. I'm overtired. Sick. And out of sorts.
Yes, I did just come back from vacation.
Not to mention high on bunny crack.
Okay, what did I promise?
DVC member's worst nightmare.
Here they are:
Study them. Be on the lookout for them. Because they will singlehandedly take away your possiblities of great views, great resorts and great stays.
So don't read this latest installment if you are the jealous or "not fair" type. This will annoy you to no end. Really, it's not worth the pain. Ignore it.
They look sweet, don't they?
They are 74 and 75 this year and have been married fifty - wait how old am I? - fifty four years this year. My father still thinks she is the greatest catch. He used to miss streetcars to get on hers.
Who knew that their destiny was to thoroughly annoy the DVC community.
Here is their rap sheet:
1) 2005? 2006? SSR. We booked under a month out. Family trip of 13. Couple Snags prime DD view at Congress Park.
Remember this was before Grandstand. Congress Park was the place. In fact, my entire party got it. And then we began to see threads about booking priorities for SSR.
2)
2008. They were supposed to be staying with us at VWL. But a huge March Break snow storm was brewing. (It was huge. It took us almost a day to get to Beckley, WV. Normally it's nine hours). They were in Florida already. And visions of them sitting and sitting in the WL lobby waiting for us to check-in kept flashing in front of me. My father irritated to no end. You know if members are on the reservation blah, blah, blah.
So I phone two days out. For any studio. AKV was still Jambo only. So AKV was hard to get. They have a studio for them. Savanna view!!!!
They ADORED it. And were so cute. By the time we got there my mother had ticked off all her animals on her sheet and my father was chatising the giraffes for not visiting when he demanded it. Great memory.
3) 2009. Their annoying habits continue.
Vero Beach. Scene of the crime. They decide late. So no ocean view for them. Poor tings.
But I work the phone. And three days out - yes that's right - ocean view comes in for them.
Did you think that was the end of the VB story.
OH NO.
Here's a pic of their balcony.
MASSIVE! I'm not in the room taking the picture. I'm on their balcony.
And their view. Fourth floor. Yes, fourth floor.
Anyone who knows the ocean view rooms knows that because of the trees - fourth floor is for the blessed people.
No, it didn't stop at their balcony or the fourh floor. The room. All inn rooms and ocean views are studios. Ummm, their room was some kind of irregular nonsense. It was massive. MASSIVE. No joking it had to have been 600 square feet.
OH VB. How I love thee. I thought a lot about it on this trip. I miss it. Who wouldn't? Well I'll tell you who - people who have issues with relaxing. Which I have none.
Some from last year:
Okay back on track.
Forward to 2010. I had to rent points off a good friend. I somehow misplaced most of my points.
So we get them SSR. But put them on the waitlist for BWV and BCV - better for them. My father has had a knee replacement and my mother - who adores walking - has a bad heel. So better for them.
Nothing.
I school my friend on the virtues of the under seven day free for all. He's a planner. He knows nothing about my nonsense of how I use my DVC points. You see I have used a booking window ONCE in five years.
Once. And I don't even want to tell you what I"ve grabbed under seven days. It's highly annoying.
So he tries. Too many times to admit. And NOTHING.
So we both agree - let's give up - SSR it is.
But a day later something comes over me. I KNOW something is there. But I can't phone - if something is and I can't book - sighing. So I annoy the heck of him and say, "listen - phone right now - I know it's there".
He now thinks I'm a witch.
The CM told him "you know I kind of sighed because I've been checking all day for people and nada and thought WTH one more time".
BCV!!! She was shocked. He was shocked. I was all knowing.
So here we go - are you still with me? I am gettling a tad wordy:
4) 2010 - BCV.
I phone my parents and let them know the wonderful news. And I temper it with "BCV is hard to get into. It's gorgeous but it's NOT known for its views. So just be prepared, okay?" (for those who don't know - you can see roads and cars and such)
I don't know what kind of star these people were born under.
Here is the view I walked in on:
NO REQUESTS MADE.
It was like you were walking on water they were so centered over it.
To the left. To the left. Sing it Beyonce:
So that is the saga of DVC owner's worst nightmare couple -
FOR NOW. 
Next up: All around BCV. And apparently I'm a mermaid.
But he is okay. I love NYC but the way the rental prices are going, it will be for the wealthy only. 
I have no idea why I'm offering you flowers -
You're right, it's probably because of people like your parents!
I took a boatload when Kidani first opened. But Savanna view - CJ is there waiting for us - yes a lovely DISer gave us his name - how could I resist.
Please keep it coming!
The CMs may have been fooling with us.
Even if he was a little territorial. 
Happy?
