DIS DVC 1000 Point Club (post #1 updated 02/10/2023)

[JimC]

Please adjust our point total. We added 100pt BLT contract last week.

We now have 1520pts!

We also have a too good to pass up resale in ROFR. If it passes, I'll be back in a few weeks.

Done and congratulations

Ok, I have just one question. That guy, at the top of the list, the King dude with 4500 points, does he live at Disney year round?

 

[ColinA]

Can we make the list, 1050 points all at BWV

Has anyone ever seen the guy on the boards?

I actually know at least one with more points, maybe two....need to confirm.

Congrats, to all of you guys with 1000 plus points. I'm just glad I don't have to pay your annual dues. I only have 260 points and my dues are enough for me.

You are on the list. Congratulations

Kim,

This board is a place for people who own DVC to get together and talk about thier DVC. This thread meets those guidelines and does not have to have a point. While I am not a member of the 1000 point club - far from it with only 285 points, I am not offended by people wanting to express thier excitement about having that many. As long as they don't start making comments like you suggested - ie we are a inferior group, then they are fine.

You see there are many more of us than there are of them. Think Bug's Life - ants vs. grasshoppers.

I have not read all the post, but pretty much scanned thru them... doesn't look like much discussion going on except new club member keep adding on...

Anyways, what do you members do with all these points... How often do you go to Disney and how large of a party...? The fees gotta be crazy....

MF's around $6500.....My Westin/Starwood timeshares are more then DVC.

We go 4-6 times a year. Stay in studios to two bedrooms. Treat family members to rooms. Rent any excess points to cover maintenance fees.

We looked at buying a vacation home, but after crunching the numbers, DVC is cheaper. Plus, we don't have to care of the unit like a vacation home would require....which would not only require money, but time.

How many people have boats, campers/RVs or play golf/tennis....all expensive options. We own none of the above and don't have any expensive hobbies. Disney is our hobby and escape from day-to-day issues.

My best friend has a boat and he always comments about us going to Disney. Well his boat costs $80k, I was there when he bought it. It costs $300-$400 to fill the gas tank. He pays $400 month for his slip. He has to winterize the boat, paint the bottom, routine maintenance and just hanging out on the boat/marina costs him hundreds a month.

Well said. My parents would not approve of us buying into DVC (haven't even told them because I know his response), but he has no problem telling me I should buy a home on a lake and a boat. We don't have the time to make that a good option - weekends are too crazy with all the kids activities. We can find time to take a week vacation though to a place we love. We only own 200 points and hope to add on in the future when the kids are older so we can treat them and their families. Congrats to all of you on this list. I'm sure you have made great memories.

I look at these members' points and I am envious!! I agree with PPs that I would not want to pay some of those members' MFs (mine are quite enough for now) but I can only aspire to some day join the 1000 point club! Congrats to all who have made it. Enjoy!!

Holy Cow!!!!!!! Can I have your points and you pay the dues

I only started with 250 points at OKW about 18-19 years ago.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you normally vacation to use your points?

 

[joksten2000]

But now I let them take it out monthly, much easier. Although if the cost of points to cruise goes any higher it won't be cost effective
