There are cheaper ways to get a DVC tote then going through an add-on folk.
j/k
I use my tote daily to carry my computer and printouts to/from work and dread the day it wears out, so I know where you're coming from. I must say though - Since Last Sept, I've had so many people both at work and on the train platform ask me about DVC due to the logo on the bag. One person has joined in and two more are considering it (they want to visit first) It's a great marketing tool!
Agreed, I think we're going to pay around $22,000 for the 2 totes we have.
Saw them on some auction site I can't remember the name of (Bee Ay?) for like $10 (on something called a "purchase this instantly") before! I guess you don't get the points buying one that way!
To answer the question, yes we did get another tote when we added on.
I have gotten a tote with my original purchase, and our 3 add ons, so we now have 4 of them. I love them because they are so sturdy. You can really put a lot of weight in those bags and they hold up really well!
Okay ... I don't know what I've done ... we had one original purchase (obviously) and ONE add-on & I have like 5 or 6 totes!!! I'm not kidding! I cleaned out my closet this weekend & was shocked @ how many DVC totes I had stashed away. I use them for beach bags & to carry small items when we travel to WDW (fans, hats, toys, etc.).
