how did your kids react when you told them you just bought into DVC for 41 yrs?

our DS was less than a year when we sent in our paperwork, and he hasn't ever been to WDW yet, but I FEARLESSLY predict that he will be *extremely* happy!!!

First trip home in January! He's going to have a blast!

mrsdon : how good is the CM discount??? Maybe I need to get myself a part time job in our local Disney Store!!!

My DD is 10, we just bought in September. I haven't explained the 41 years part, but she was surely thrilled with the OKW one bedroom we stayed in. She especially liked that the big TV was in "her" bedroom, and was the first to use the jacuzzi. I did show her the Member Guidebook when it arrived. You know the shot of the king size bed in the Jefferson in Washington DC? It's funny, but of all the choices, she wants to go THERE!

My DW and I were discussing whether to buy or not whrn our 2 year old DD said she wanted a "village". Two trips and a year and an add on later we are glad she did.

Our DD is now 30 and our DS is 25. Both are major-league Disney addicts. They were both thrilled when we purchased a BWV resale last January. We put both of them on the deed, since neither of us expect to be able to use this membership all the way to 2042. DS accompanied us for our first visit as DVC members in July, and DD will join us for part of our next visit this coming January. Our March trip will be our first DVC visit with just the two of us.

If we ever get tired of taking these trips, we know that someone will be ready, willing, and able to use the points!

We have a son who at the time was 17 years of age ('97), and is excited at the notion that his children could enjoy DVC at a later date (if we give him points to use or invite him down)

Our sons were 2, now almost 11yo and 6, now 15 and 1/2yo, they didnt realize what it all meant then, but when and if they ever stay in a regular hotel room they are devastated, what only 1 TV? Where's the fridge and stove, washer & dryer?

Our youngest wouldnt swim in his aunt's above ground pool, because it wasnt like disney's pool.

DS (14) thought it was "pretty cool". He enjoys Disney and has been there several times. We just bought into DVC and have not closed yet.

However, DS's school football team is going for the state title next weekend and he had a party last night with a bonfire.
That was considered "pretty sweet". So as teen lingo goes, DVC is #2. "Pretty sweet" is better than "pretty cool".

But DH & I are thrilled. Once we do a trip AND go to Daytona for a race, DS will be calling DVC "pretty sweet"!
