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

[joksten2000]

We debated buying another 1,000 points but after doing some leg work we found we could rent a 4 BR home with a pool 8 miles from WDW for $6K for the winter 1/8 to 5/1 so it seemed foolish to spent the money for points. We buy an AP and visit WDW several times a week. Plus we don't eat out as much. Use the points to take our family on cruises.

I'd say 95% of our stays were at OKW and the breakdown looked much like this:

3% Studios (Almost always gifted stays to our nieces and nephews)
67% One Bedroom Villas (Usually when traveling just me and DW)
20% Two Bedroom Villas (Usually when staying with invited family or friends)
10% Grand Villa (Usually DW during her girls only trips)

That is what I am talking about would LOVE to do that what a nice DH!

Well, I sold off my 210 points at AKV. It was the least favorite of my home resorts. While AKV is nice, we just prefer BLT and BWV.

I was going to turn around and immediately buy more points at either BLT or BWV, but I think I'm going to wait and see what DVC has up it's sleeve next.

That takes me down to 1,040 points.

Wow. When DVC Mike sells off points it really gets my attention. You will need to change the text above your avatar where it says "DVC Member @ BLT, AKV, VWL, BWV, BCV".

Got it. Nice total for the end of tax season.

If anyone would care to share, I am curious... to those who are in this club, do you own all your points in one resort or multiple resorts? What about UYs (i.e. do you have more than one)? Thanks. Just fun to know! I hope to join you some day, but it may be awhile...

We own at two resorts, with one use year. We love DVC!

We also have one uy and own at 6 resorts AKV,VWL, BCV,SSR,BLT and VGC

Hey JimC thanks for keeping the list.
How many of the club are still active posters?

 

[lah3hh]

We own 5 different resorts...HHI, AKV, SSR, OKW and VGC with potential to add on many other resorts over the next few years. In hearing the possible 'rumors' of a DVC at Grand Floridian...I can see that in our future for sure (if it happens). I know for a fact we will add on in Hawaii to give us enough points for a 11 month booking window to go every other or every 3rd year.

I have 2 different UY (April & June) and actually like having my points deposit at different times. I am probably even one of those rare members who actually would consider a 3rd UY especially if they come out with a really nice VIP tiered incentive.

Speaking of that...to those of us who are in the 1000+ club, what do you think about the possible VIP tiered system? I am so excited and truly hope they come out with some nice 'rewards' for those of us who spend most of our vacation money with DVC/Disney...can you tell I love my DVC??!!!!

Looking at your signature, do you use most of your points for cruising?

 

[Nanajo1]

We own at OKW and BWV with the same use year. Recently sold a 50 pointer at OKW with a different UY making our total 1505.

 

[joksten2000]

and never a single regret. Now that we winter in Florida, there's no need to use our points at WDW. We just buy an ap and visit whenever we feel like it. Comes with free parking so it's a real bonus.

 

[Bellecruiser]

Wow. I am so jealous. Cruising is one of my most favorite things to do.

 

[lah3hh]

To answer the question previously posted...we try to cruise at least 1 time per year. This year is quite an exception with us taking 3 cruises. I like variety so we use everything that DVC has to offer...WDW, Disneyland, HHI, Vero Beach, DCL and even other exchanges. I bought and continue to add on to DVC because of the true variety this timeshare plan has to offer.

I never rent my points to make $$ and spend other ways. I fully plan on using each and every point I have to vacation and enjoyment for my family!!

Can't say it enough....I LOVE my DVC....I should probably shout it from the rooftops!!!!

Got it. Thanks.

To sail to Hawaii, look into a cruise that ends in Hawaii. Most of the sailings go round trip from California and only spent four days in the islands with a lot of sea days. We went on the RCCL Rhapsody of the Seas and spent 7 days in the islands. Cruise started in Vancouver and ended in Honolulu. It was our 40th Anniversary and we splurged on this cruise $15K Stayed in the Owners Suite and included airfare. Brutal flight from Honolulu to Philadelphia.

dreaming of joining this club one day....wishful thinking

We use all our points every year. We use a lot of them for cruising now. We also use them for big family reunions and get a couple of GV's, 2 bedrooms, etc, and have the family come down. It's great to be able to do that.

We got busy this year and forgot to bank our left over points. Had to make a trip down to OKW last week...lol Have 64 points in holding until the end of the month. Tried to rent them but didn't know you now have to pay to do that, find that rather annoying...never did that begore and don't plan on doing it ever again so why pay for it.

 

[dancnorris]

I have 800 points at BLT, but I am waiting until the GFV announcement to do the add-on that gets me in the 1000-point club. I love BLT, but 800 is enough for that resort. I just need another monorail resort to go with it. Hope to join the club soon...
