As many of you know, I've been researching the purchase of a DVC contract and talking to my DH about it everyday it seems.
Eventually, my DH relented, and was finally convinced that purchasing a DVC contract might be a good idea for us. However, he was FIRM about us selling our new travel trailer first before making the leap and buying a DVC contract.
Over the next few weeks, I would see great resale contracts come up with lots of banked points and all current points available. I would say to my DH, "This is the one, and if we don't jump on it now, it'll be gone and we'll lose it to someone else." But no matter how much I whined and begged, DH would not relent about selling the travel trailer first.
So I tried selling the travel trailer, but being the month of November and winter upon us with a foot of snow on the ground, no one was shopping for travel trailers - who would be shopping for camping equipment in the winter!
December arrived, and my DH asked what I wanted for Christmas. Of course I said, "A DVC contract all wrapped up with a big bow!" Of course he said, "Dream on honey!"
Well, it was Christmas morning, and we opened our gifts. The kids were playing with their toys, and everyone was happy, yes me too, even though there was no DVC contract under the Christmas tree. Then my DH said, "Did you see that last present for you under the tree?" "No, I didn't see it, but I'll go look for it," I said. DH followed me to the tree, and low and behold there was one more present under the tree. I opened it and inside was a very nice, soft and snuggly blanket. Then I noticed something sticking out of it - a piece of paper. "Hmmmmm, what's this?" I thought. I opened it up, and inside was a beautiful (sarcasm intended
) poem written by my DH. It said:
"The DVC membership arrives
when the travel trailer drives!"
Love, your Disney family.
Yes, my hubby - the comedian!
Actually, I have to admit, the laugh that his note gave me was the best Christmas present I received!
