So many things can happen, and sure, some of those might lead you to sell. But if these boards are any indication, the more likely thing that could happen in 7-8 yrs is that you decide you want an add-on contract

It's a slippery slope! We mostly go to WDW but fell in love with DL also a couple of years ago so here we are... Luckily I'm pretty good at CC points game so we never pay for flights, which aren't cheap going from NC to CA, lolOh yeah, I could definitely see us adding another contract if we want to ditch studios or go on more/longer trips. OR...if our son absolutely loves WDW when we finally go.....might have to consider a contract over there. Because, why not?
We too play the CC game flying from Hawaii to LAX and MCO. I wish there was a timeshare-like program for airfare
+ THIS! It is all a game. We skirt where we can to justify our splurges. And in essence, a Disney vacation IS one big splurge. I always make my coffee and pack lunches for work. I do most of the house work and repairs. I NEVER go to the movies and don't drink alcohol. I haven't bought new clothes in 5 years. I stopped buying video games. I never buy books and always use the library system. I stopped snowboarding and golfing and surf instead, since waves are free. I have no gym memberships and work out at work. With all the money I think I'm saving, I justify my splurges with TS ADRs, expensive dining packages, and after-hours events.
perhaps people are hoping VGC availability will get better once VDH opens, assuming VGC owners will trade their points to use at VDH?
1. Does using the Disney Visa save you anything, or does it just get you more points?
Maybe once? We would fall into that. We own at VGC and Aulani and hope to try out VDH..... once. And realistically I would probably use my Aulani points to try and get it. I think after that- VGC owners will stay at VGC- especially if/when the refurb happens.
Nah, timeshares cost money. I prefer free!
5% for Disney Gift Cards (DGCs) is the easiest thanks to target as mentioned above. You can always at the least get 5% so why not? But there are better deals to be had. If you make a hobby out of it you can stack a lot of discounts and, say, get about 12K in DGCs at 10-20% discount (that was my total last year, paid for our upcoming ABD trip and all our dues that way).

20% discount.!!?? (that's what i'm talking about), how do you get gift cards beyond 5% ?
I will definitely be checking that out.Join us on the Budget Board, the DGCs and more thread
It's not going to happen, like, tomorrow, but if you can be flexible with spending and hit offers hard throughout the year when they appear, you can make it happen by stacking offers at stores like Best Buy with cashback sites and credit card offers. There are several ways, but it does really help if you churn credit cards as well (a separate thread, same board) as many of the offers come out through stacking credit card deals with store offers or cashback portals.
