Congrats!

Did you see the trip report posted yesterday on the Aulani update? Very nice!

I just retired from the AF in Sept and went to Hawaii for two weeks to celebrate. My wife and I toured Aulani with no intention of buying since we have so many military recreation options on Hawaii. It was so fantastic that we went ahead and bought 375 points. I only wish I had the money to buy more!

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

We do not have a normal vacation schedule. We usually do all or most of the runs at Disney - marathon weekend, Disneyland Half Marathon, Princess race, Wine and Dine race etc.

Then we usually spend Thanksgiving or Christmas at Disneyworld and one week at HHI.

I usually get suckered into taking my mother-in-law down for the flower show and now that my kids are 21, they con me into a long weekend at the food and wine

My wife almost always goes down for a conference in Feb and I go to keep her company

thanks

Please update us as we are at 1114 points.

Addonitis Dont you love it!

We are definitely a cruising family and with a 1,000 points we did some hard thinking. Decided to winter in Florida and buy WDW annual passes. Much cheaper than buying a lot more points(we get a beautiful 4br 2bath w pool for 4 months for $6K) Felt it was the smarter move since another 1,000 points would only get us half the stay we now enjoy and lots of room for family and friends. Today was a beautiful 80

 

[VallCopen]

We just added another 240 with a resale from the Timeshare store so that brings us to 1275 and counting................... until the dues come next year.

I love this thread I only have 500 points, but I enjoy seeing people with alot of points having fanastic vacations and creating great memories with friends and family. Isn't that what life is about? You can't take it with you when you die so enjoy life now!! Congrads to all of you 1000 pointers and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VallCopen]

Thanks for updating us Jim.

Nyck, most of us started with just a handful of points and here we are today, we call it addonitis and it is sure contagious. We love our family trips and sharing them with friends too. Last year we took a cousin and her family that had only 3 months to live, that was a year ago and she is going strong (maybe Disney really can help cure - I know being positive and happy can). This year we are sending a friend who we met just a year ago and her and her daughter (3) they will be staying in a 1 bedroom for 4 nights, then in 2012 we are taking all of our siblings from both sides (6 different families), it will take a lot of points but well worth the trip of a life time for all of us.

Jim, to satisfy my curiosity, do you know how many families own more than 1000 pts?

I'm not Jim...but....

according to post #1 in this thread there are 72.
However, that's only those who are DIS'ers and have declared their ownership position.

HTH

Seeing members with that many points makes me want to go an buy more potins, especially with the resale prices now.

Does Disney give any deals/discounts for members who own a large number of points, I think it it would cost them less money to service one member who has 1000+ points versus 10- 20 members with 100 to 200 points each?

Sorry, I do not. The DIS group is a small segment of the DVC membership and not likely a statistically representative sample. And we only have those high point members who wish to participate in this thread.

I think the people on this list must be insane to buy so many DVC points!

I agree and I'm so upset with DH for getting me 25 more points for Valentines Day!
Please update our total to 1085.

Boy is he making me look bad. All I got DW was flowers and she gave me a bag of potato chips. But they were really good potato chips!

And inside the bag was a note tellling me she bought me 300 more points at BCV!!!!

Then I turned over the card and it said April Fool!
