how many points do you have and where?

[tink4ever]

We currently have 250 pts at WLV and we are thinking about adding 100-150 more for use year Sept. Still investigating which is the best way to go. Add on or buy into another resort.

Happy to say as of December 27th 2005

175 at Saratoga Springs

My cousin Nicky was right

 

[bridgemanva]

OKW 330 (210, 62 and 58)
VB 50
BCV 100
SSR 150
Total 630

We had intended to sell BCV and VB when we purchased SSR but now we're looking at replacing them with more OKW or SSR points in the future-- We've become very fond of the Grand Villas for our family gatherings and that change of home resort will make booking these easier. Also, DH loves SSR and my preference still remains OKW -relaxing pastels and sunshine.

We have 163 at Saratoga

We havent had them a month and my wife(who it took 3 yrs to convince) is already thinking of adding on...lol

 

[WDW LOVR]

170 at SSR and 87 at BWV (and after reading some of these posts, don't I feel inadequate). Plan on adding on another 80-100 in small increments the next few years, probably at BWV.

 

[buckylarue]

Just 150 at BWV so far, but it'll be paid off next year and we can start thinking about adding a few more on!

 

[DKH01701]

We have 220 at Saratoga. Seems to be enough for now, allowing for two weeks moderate visits, or one week going all out for a larger unit.

 

[Disney Doll]

2 contracts at OKW. One is 200 points. The other is 230 points. We bought the 200 point one first. Bought the 230 point one about 5 years later.

 

[Mama2sean]

350 point total spread over three contracts 210, 65, 75 at Wilderness Lodge. The last two were add-on's with the same use year. Every time we're at WDW, I get the itch to add on more!

 

[dawngee]

150 VERO BEACH
75 HILTON HEAD
125 SARATOGA
100 OLD KEY WEST
100 BEACH CLUB

Not sure if the exact amounts are right but I know the number of resorts is right. Thank goodness Wilderness and Beach club aren't available for my DH would be lookin'.

Now if Hawaii is added , I might be the one with the itch for additional points.

450 pts boardwalk

 

[ktmmt]

I have a 150 point contract every year, reminber if you go every other year it is a 300 point contract. I only get three weeks vacation every year, so it hard to go more then once a year. We go every other year, or a 5 night studio trip to HH and then a big WDW trip the following year with more then 150 points to work with. Unless you have a lot of extra money to spend on airfair, food and park passes, I would suggest 150 to start with. You can always add on later, or rent points to add on a trip.

 

[LUVMICKEY]

225 at BCV and we want more but we don't know how soon.

[wanna-b-Tink]

500 total

150 BWV
80 BCV
270 SSR

We'd like to add on but don't want more points at SSR. We'll wait on the next resort built...please be AK!

 

[pouncingpluto]

200 at SSR

We haven't even closed yet, but in the last few days I'm starting to have second thoughts about whether we should have gotten 150 at SSR and 50 at BWV instead. C'est la vie! Maybe a BWV add-on in a few years. I'm actually only worried about having some of our points there in case Eagle Pines is added and it starts to be really hard to get into the smaller resorts. I just want to be able to stay at BWV occasionally, since we were married on the Boardwalk and honeymooned at BWI.

Congratulations. You can always add on if necessary. The difficulty will come if you want to stay at a smaller resort during peak DVC times. Otherwise you are probably fine.

Eagle Pines was an announced new DVC resort by Eagle Pines golf course. It was supposed to be the next resort after BCV. But Disney, suffering under depressed profits, decided to put Pop Century on delay for phase I, hold for phase II, hold on DVC Eagle Pines and to close the Disney Institute. DVC picked up the old DI property with much of its infrastructure intact and SSR was developed instead of Eagle Pines. Disney rarely discards ideas (look at what CA borrowed from the cancelled Disney America park) so Eagle Pines or something similar may resurface at sometime.

Here is the offical press release. Note that they define the style as "Spanish, Moorish, Romanesque and Gothic" forms of architecture.

Disney Vacation Development, Inc., operators of Disney Vacation Club (DVC) -- Disney’s innovative vacation ownership program -- announced today that it will expand its timeshare resort presence at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida by building a seventh DVC property (subject to obtaining necessary approvals). This latest development for the growing Disney Vacation Club product marks the Company’s largest ownership resort project to date.
The announcement heralds a time of exciting growth for Disney Vacation Club, which now boasts a membership of nearly 60,000 member families from over 60 countries.

The proposed 600-unit ownership development is slated to occupy a 61-acre site along the award-winning Disney’s Eagle Pines golf course at Walt Disney World Resort. All rooms will feature either a pool, golf course or forest view. Initial plans call for the construction of a main Inn building encompassing a check-in area; accommodations; restaurant/lounge; theme pool with feature slide; retail space; arcade; common living room area and a health club, as well as Villa buildings containing vacation home accommodations. Development will begin this fall with an estimated opening in spring/summer 2004.

“We are very excited to expand the Disney Vacation Club concept to an entirely new resort area here at Walt Disney World Resort,” said George Aguel, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Development, Inc. “I am confident that this new offering will be a successful addition to the dynamic vacation options we provide.”

The theme of the proposed DVC resort will complement and enhance the beautiful setting found at Disney’s Eagle Pines golf course. The new resort will be inspired by the architecture of Addison Mizner, a celebrated early 20th century architect who led the renaissance of Florida resort design. The property’s design will reflect a variety of motifs found in indigenous Florida buildings of this era, including Spanish, Moorish, Romanesque and Gothic forms. The atmosphere and elegance found in the coastal communities of southeast Florida (including West Palm Beach and Boca Raton) will be found in the resort’s architecture, ranging from tile roofs to fountains to lush, tropical landscaping.

Commissioned to design the resort was renowned architect Graham Gund, who created the architectural look for such Disney projects as Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort and Disney’s Vero Beach Resort -- another Disney Vacation Club property. Gund designed the resort to take advantage of the pristine setting found at the Eagle Pines golf course location while maintaining the integrity of the existing golf course. Guests at the resort will have views to Disney’s Eagle Pines golf course but golfers’ view of the property will be buffered, with resort buildings “stepping down” in height as they near the golf holes.

The new resort is scheduled to open in phases, with the first phase consisting of the Inn building and five Villa buildings for a total of 360 units. The Inn and one Villa building are expected to open in spring/summer 2004, with the four additional Villa buildings opening throughout the remainder of that year. The final phase of five additional Villa buildings containing 240 units are anticipated to open by spring/summer 2005.

As Disney Vacation Club approaches its decade mark on Oct. 1, 2001, the Company is celebrating a number of achievements, including the expansion of its resort collection through the proposed addition of the new resort at Disney’s Eagle Pines golf course and the completion of Disney’s Beach Club Villas, which is currently under construction at Walt Disney World Resort next to the popular Disney’s Beach Club Resort (expected opening in September 2002).

“These latest expansions of our successful vacation ownership program will allow us to provide still more magical experiences for our guest and member families,” added Aguel.

The current collection of Disney Vacation Club resorts includes Disney’s Old Key West Resort; Disney’s BoardWalk Villas and The Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge -- all located at the Walt Disney World Resort -- as well as Disney’s first resorts beyond the Disney theme park locations; Disney’s Vero Beach Resort on Florida’s Atlantic Coast and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort in South Carolina.

We have 335 total

235 OKW
100 SSR

Want to add on 150 more from BWV. We have even considered selling SSR in order to purchase BWV.

ADDING ON POINTS IS ADDICTING

Okay we added on 100 at BWV. Now we have 435. If DH would let me I would add on another 150 from BWV.
