We love visiting Florida and we love WDW. We are one of those couples who frequently get asked "you're going again?". Sometimes the grown children join us, often they do not. Forever looking for a way to a) make each trip a little longer and b) travel on a budget, we've tried many off-site resorts as well as enjoying our time in our DVC. Here's what we've decided...we LOVE our DVC. We LOVE our DVC resort. It is where we LOVE to spend our time, our money, it is where we are most comfortable. This past week, despite staying in the "nicest room we've ever been in" in the Orlando area, we knew it wasn't for us. As luck would have it, before we packed up the luggage and the computer to go home, I hopped on the disboards quickly and checked resales. There it was, our 2nd favorite DVC resort, in our use year, for a price we could manage. Just this morning, 5 years after our initial purchase, we added-on to our DVC. It feels soooo good because we've dated so many other resorts, we've had one night stands with local hotels, we know DVC is the one for us! For anyone who asks, we'd be happy to tell you what DVC holds that the others don't. For the rest of you, we suspect you already know! :3dglasses
 
Awesome! Where did you add on? And why did you choose to add a second resort? I have been debating about whether to add more points at my home - VWL- or to have another home resort. It's tough because there are so many choices!

We added on at BWV because we love the chance to "save" points and book Standard rooms. As two adults, we find the whole Beach Club/Boardwalk area to be a great location, perfect for us, meets all of our needs. Over the last 5 years, we have stayed at the BWV more often than BCV (our home resort) because of the point difference. It was the only choice for us!
 

Congratulations, When I told my DH that I had addonitis he told me to go to the doctors and get some cream for it!!!!!
 
Congrats....BWV is my 2nd favorite....might add on there.

I own at WLV and for me a split stay between the two is THE PERFECT STAY:goodvibes

I'll be checking resales....Wonder if the prices will fall???
 
Congratulations on your add on! We do know exactly what you mean. :) Our kids though still at home are getting older 17 and 14. We purchased our first contract last June. Although we thought it about since our youngest was about a year, we finally just did it. Among other factors we knew that after 14 years if we loved our Disney trips even more than we did before it was a good idea to finally do DVC. :thumbsup2

Enjoy your new home resort BWV is awesome.
 
Congratulations on your add on! Enjoy those extra points!
