I noticed in the early part of this thread people just thought the 1000'ers were tooting their horn but If any of you are like me I think it is a neat opportunity to share with friends and family. We took a single mom with triplets who has breast cancer once, then we took my cousin and her family who was given 3-6 months to live to Disney this past 4th of July and in Nov. are getting an extra room for my brother who lives in Anaheim, and then in 2010 we are taking our whole family and hoping to get 2-2bedroom units, 2-1 bedroom units and 2 studios for the whole gang - WE would never be able to do this if we didn't have 1000 points but we love it and we love sharing them with people. I am sure there will be times we will be selfish with our points but for the most part we LOVE to share them and spread the magic around.

Just out of curiousity how many of you do things like this for friends, family, or people in need of a trip for health or other reasons? Would love to hear some stories.

Vallcopen what a wonderful story. I love the way you've described sharing the magic.
Our daughter is getting married next summer in Disney. We offered to use some points for the grooms family. So we have made reservations at BLT for 2 studios, and one 2 bedroom for 5 nights for the groom's side. Our family has 3 1 bedrooms for a week and we have a GV MK view for 5 days.
This past summer we used our points with our family for a week vacation. We have 5 kids, 3 of whom are married with children. There was 19 of us, and it was wonderful to share our trip together.
This has been the best investment we've ever made! We just bought BLT April 2009.

Could you please update us. We did an add on add BLT for 670 points we are now at 1700. It seems every year we have more family that wants to come with us.

This should be called rent your points club. if you have more then 1000 points, you must be renting you points. Look at the rent board, should i say more...

Not really, we have not posted our point total, but qualify and would never think about renting points, and are actually borrowed into future years.

Same here. We have never rented out points and had to borrow from 2011 for our summer trip.

We have never rented - we also are borrowed into 2012. We're just waiting for DS to set a wedding date and then they will use some points for their honeymoon. Both our children have enjoyed our points for vacations and DH&I are always planning our next trip. We tell the kids that this is their legacy from us, we've added on so much there won't be cash left for them!

That is so nice of you. God Bless.

How cool that you can take all the family, that is what we will be doing in 2012 and I can't wait to share with all the family. I love being a part of the DVC program and all the benefits that come with it. Hope your daughter has a wonderful wedding!!!

Wow a 670 add on that is so cool - congrats!!!! I hope to own close to that someday. Have fun with all those points, they do go fast.

 

[VallCopen]

Thanks MrsG, the Lord has blessed us and we love to pay it forward.

We went to a DVC show and the price they were offering was too good to pass up. My husband gave me the choice between the car I was going to get or BLT.

Congrats to all 1000, very cool! Question I thought our guide told us the most you could own was 2000 points???? I see some with 3500? How does that work?

There are two limits -- per resort and total of multiple resorts. They changed recently and I do not recall the new amounts.

I suspect you could possibly exceed those limits using different ownership structures.

I know some people that used to got to WDW all the time (still do)...with there 9 kids! So, I looked them up on the OCC today to see what they owned... 1550!

Hello Everyone! Update Request Please:

With our recent add of 160 points at GCV, please change our total to 1360. One can never have too many points!!! Please tell me when does Addonitis stop?? LOL...

Well the symptoms have gone away for a while. I am sure they will re-surface at some point but happy as a lark for now!!!

 

[MrsG]

You know, I was just getting a little nostalgic. I was remembering how,when the kids were little, we would stay at the Carribbean Beach Resort and lovingly gaze over at the DVC podium, thinking that we would feel we made it in life to own DVC. Funds were thin and we used to save extra coin in a jar so we could splurge with one nice dinner at a sit down restaurant in Epcot.
A lot of hard work, and saving, but here were are.

We are all very blessed.

Hello Everyone! Update Request Please:
