Guess what we did today?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am so excited!

We bought in at AKV!!!

 

[ConcKahuna]

Wooohoo, Gratz!!!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

OH! That is fantabulous!!!!!! (I am sooooooooooo jealous)

 

[rosiep]

Woo-hoo!! Congratulations!!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thanks!

We took the tour last summer but we just couldn't manage it financially. Now we've paid off some other stuff so we can use that money for DVC!

We looked at resale listings all weekend and then decided today to just call the DVC guide we met before and see what he had to say. Everything lined up just the way we needed it to, so here we are!

Welcome Home!

 

[Saxton]

Yahoo!!! Congratulations!!! Now we're neighbors ... can I borrow a cup of sugar?

 

[jlewisinsyr]

CONGRATS!

We were thinking of buying one, but Chip keeps telling me that there is no point because we're just going to move to Orlando.

I'm game, but I need a really good job to replace my income here, as I am the one that makes the money and just moving isn't that easy when 75% of the family income is on you.

Sure! It might be a bit of a wait though, because we probably won't be at AKV until NEXT August!
Catch us at OKW THIS August!

The logistics of moving leave me paralyzed. My job, DH's job, finding a decent school for DS, finding a nice place to live...too many things to worry about!
If we move there before our 50 years is up we will sell our points.

Don't be jealous!

We are really excited. We got in on a deal where we had points for immediate use, so we cancelled the last 7 nights of our "room only" and changed over to using points. The room was already paid for so that money will be refunded and we'll put it towards our DVC purchase.
It would have been silly to pay cash for 16 nights worth of hotel when we knew we wanted to buy in. Now we are just being silly for 9 nights!

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Well, I see it as a frugal move!

I am looking forward to the day when my medical bills are all paid off. I am then looking forward to the day when the car and the truck are paid off. Then, I am looking forward to the day when my credit cards are paid off, then, just maybe then, in say 6 years or so, I might be able to talk Corey into DVC. Well, truth be told, if she has her way, we will move to some place near Orlando before that, but I am on at the very least a 5 year plan to make that happen. I would love to have gastric bypass first. I can't tolerate the heat with all of this freakin' extra insulation.

Congrats and welcome home... we bought DVC three years ago....I wish I could have convinced DH when they first started selling, but we did it now and have not looked back..

 

[mykidsintow]

Welcome home neighbor!!!

We will be going "home" in October for the first time since buying. In the meantime I am heading to SSR.... thanks, developer points!

Congrats on your purchase! Its so exciting!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Lindy - You will get there!!

Mackey - We were pretty sure we would buy in. We just didn't know it would be TODAY!

Beth - Your kids are PRECIOUS!
Have fun planning your trips!!

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Welcome Home Neighbor!!! You are so going to love your DVC!!! We haven't stayed at AKV yet, but are hoping to do so before too long!

It's a great program!!!

 

[TinkerChelle]

Congrats! We just became DVCers recently. SSR will be our first stay this September-then we will be at AKV (our home, too!!!) next September. Good for you!

Congratulations and Welcome Home!

We own at the Beach Club Villas. Scott bought into DVC before we met. Then we decided to move to the area and thought we wouldn't be able to use it very much. Boy were we wrong!

We've used our DVC point at Disneyland California, and TEN NIGHTS at the Hotel New York at Disneyland Paris (saved us over four thousand dollars on hotel rates versus comparable hotels in Paris for ten nights). We also spend the odd night here and there on property at WDW (like for Gay Days).

This year we're putting up my parents, siblings, and the "wedding party" at the Boardwalk Villas for our commitment ceremony weekend. (reception is at Atlantic Dance Hall, we can stumble back to our rooms) In addition to that, we're going on the 3-Day Disney Cruise for our Honeymoon the next weekend. All on DVC points!

Even as a local, it's great to be a DVC member!

Congrats!

We bought at SSR and plan to add on when the Hawaii goes on sale. We travel to hawaii ever few years so we will make use of those points.
