kdonnel- I know just how you feel- we just started the paper work yesterday for our BCV contract. We bought through DVC and it's killing me that I can't make a ressie now for January- have to wait for the 11 months out! I don't know if I could wait as long as you have to- I'd go crazy (ahhhh- but isn't the anticipation part of the fun of it?!?!?) We thought long and hard about buying resale too, but finally decided that since everyone kept saying to buy where you wanted to spend most of your time - we bought thru DVC- and BCV! Just think about how fun it will be to call in your first ressie- and enjoy it while you can!!! Congratulations on your purchase and Welcome Home !!!
