The airline industry has cured my addonitis.....this last trip did it for me. I just turned down a Beach Club add-on that came thru during my vacation. After dealing with this last airline fiasco, I am looking to visit drivable resorts. So HHI.....here I come fall '09!![]()
I agree that it never goes away. Unfortunately, the reality of finances makes it unwise to add on at times, but it still hurts. So, in that case, which usually occurs to a DVCer after an add on or two, plan one a few years down the road. It gives you hope and something to look forward to. (That is what I am doing) But the addonitis itch itself never goes away!
YOU THROUGH THE PAIN!!!????
In December and January when I receive my annual membership bill, I have the least amount of desire to add on.

What helps...reminding myself what MF's will run 30-40 years from now.
1 my annual dues bill
2 another vacation waitlist
3 I look again at my annual dues bill
4 Can't get any ADRs I want anymore
5 Envisioning paying my annual dues bill as I am filling my oil tank at the same time!
Figure out how many semesters of college tuition you can pay for with all the rising member fees you will have to pay. Or how many sets of braces those fees and point costs will cover. Or how you could pay for the car insurance for that just turned 16 yr old driver with those increased MF.
We got to the point where we were paying nearly $2500 a year in member fees and decided we could use that alone to go on a very nice trip. We have sold off 175 of our 500 points and looking to sell off another 50.
If you don't pay the bills, you really don't realize how much you actually send to Disney every year (how clever of them to allow you to deduct those fees monthly automatically). Add on the cost of the passes, the dining plan (or just eating), the travel there and back. Then you realize that one nice trip a year is just fine.
