...

411?!?!

Come on, zurgswife, there has to be a story behind that!

 

[GGOOFY1]

We have 275 all at OKW. Our unit of choice is a 2-bedroom at OKW. We like the outside entrances and larger units. We go between 1 or 2 times a year. Limited last few years, because DS & DD are toooooooo busy to travel with Mom & Dad.

 

[jx3smom]

We have 700 points. We have 350 at BWV, 225 at BCV and 125 at SSR. Lately we have been staying in a 2 bedroom but move to a one over the weekend if it is peak season.

I am so curious. We are almost buying in and I know everybody's DVC needs and wants are so different.

But I just wanted to get an idea of how many points people have etc...

So here is a poll of sorts....optional, of course.

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts).
2. Which resort do you own?
3. What size room do you usually book?
4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year?
5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much?
6. Would you make any changes if you could?
7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is?

Interested to see your responses. Thanks in advance!

4. usually 1/year.....twice this year, though!
5. not sure about an add-on.....although my gut says 'yes'!
6. no changes
7. not sure about my home resort being best - we have yet to see them all...

[smsnorthup]

Just bought 150 pts at SSR
Usually book a studio to make the most of our pts
We live 5 1/2 hours away, so we go on 3-4 night trips 3 or 4 times a year
Haven't tried any other resorts but we're going to HH next weekend and BWV in Sept.

 

[bsusanmb]

500 points - 125 VWL 375 SSR
Have booked two 2 bedroom villas at SSR for my children and grandchildren
Have booked studio and 1 bedroom for DH and I
I like the luxury of a 1 bedroom, but appreciate the discount for studio
We just bought our 500 points because for at least 12 years we have gone to WDW 4 times a year. I have stayed at VWL and loved it, and BCV and liked the pool, but didn't care much for the rooms. Have not stayed at SSR yet, but from what I hear, I am sure I will love it. Would like to try OKW in the future.
I wish I had bought points 12 years ago. But we had 5 kids then, and just couldn't make the investment. All are grown and gone, and that's why we could afford it now.
Love VWL because of the theming and how quiet and peaceful it is. Also like to take the boat to MK.

 

[disneymagic316]

1. We have 440 pts.

2.We Own at BWV (220 pts), VB(100pts.), and SSR(120).

3.We have stayed in studios, but now stay in a 2 bedroom.

4.We go to WDW every year, and either HHI (Thanksgiving) or VB. We have also done 3 DCL 7 -night cruises.

5 We are planning to add on. We just added SSR in January. We would consider adding on at HHI in the future or a new DVC resort if one becomes available.

6.We always go to WDW in the summer but are going in April for the first time. I would like to make more trips to WDW during the year and stay in a 3 bedroom.

7.We have stayed in OKW and BWV. I loved the 2 bedroom at OKW better than those at BWV. We really liked OKW and it's theming.
We love the location of BWV. It's great to be on the Boardwalk at night. There's always something going on. We love the proximity to Epcot.
VB is a beautiful resort to relax at and enjoy the ocean.
HHI is also a beautiful and relaxing resort. We love waking up in the mornig and watching the wildlife in the marshes.
We are staying at SSR in Aproil for the first time. I have not stayed at VWL or BC.
I love all the resorts- they all have their own special atmosphere. As long as it's Disney I'm happy!

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

1. How many points do you have total? 627 total, 375 BWV and 252 BCV

2. Which resort do you own? BWV and BCV!

3. What size room do you usually book? One or two bedrooms. We have a studio for our week in May for the first time ever I rented the differnce in points from a one br to a studio this year.

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year? Typically two vacations per year. Either two WDW trips or one WDW and one Cruise (Magic two years in a row )

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much? No, I think we have the right number of points for the two of us! We are DINKS!

6. Would you make any changes if you could? They just made the biggest change I have wanted for a long time, the dinning plan, so nothing I can think of for now!

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is? BWV is DH favorite resort and mine is BCV, so we own both.

 

[gianna2006]

We have 160 all at SSR that we bought in 2004. We will be using them for the first time this May (so 360 for this trip), but I found I've already borrowed from 2007 so we can get a one-bedroom for our 12 day stay (splitting the stay between OKW and SSR). We also have a week of timeshare through Interval International. The plan is to go to Disney every two years and use the Interval weeks on the off years, but if our upcoming trip goes as well as we think it's going to go, we may try to sell our timeshare week and put that money towards buying more points!!! I have to do some more research before I take that step though - I'm still a newbie with the DIS and have been dealing with Interval for the past 10 years!!!!

7/90 off-site
9/96 off-site
7/99 off-site
7/2000 off-site
4/01 off-site
5/04 off-site
5/06 finally going DIS all the way!!!

 

[byoung]

I got 200 BWV points. Booked 19 nights in a studio this year with points left over. To me that's great for a time share.

[chiclet]

2. Which resort do you own? BCV
3. What size room do you usually book? 2br
4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year? Used to be once a year, now we're up to twice!
5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much? You never know!
6. Would you make any changes if you could? No.

[Jenbear]

1. We have 300 points
2. All at SRR
3. We have always booked a 1 bedroom-kids are small enough for pullout and
we like our space.
4. We have gone about once last year and going twice this year since buying
into DVC last year.
5. We originally bought 150 points but after going and staying we added 150
more when we got back.
6. As new resorts are built keep room sizes in square feet as big as the first
ones were. Newer ones are getting smaller. (demand = $$$)
7. I stayed in OKW which I love and haven't stayed in my home yet!!

 

[Cruelladeville]

We have 916 total pts, 595 at BWV and 321 at OKW.

We book usually a 1-2 bedroom villa, but we bought the 321 OKW points in order to book a grande villa, which we get every other year. We usually go down to WDW 3-4 times a year, for a total of about 30 days per year.

We are not planning on buying any more points, and will sell many of our pts in about 10 years, I think, once we retire. I am thinking that we will rent an apartment, and spend 6 months there, and 6 months at home, so I don't think I will need 916 pts anymore. That will be a sad day.

I like BW and OKW. I fell in love with OKW about 4 years ago, when we stayed there, so we bought points there. I love that grande villa!

 

[robinb]

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts).
2. Which resort do you own?
I own 230 points at OKW and 200 points at BWV

3. What size room do you usually book?
Studios at BWV and Grand Villas at OKW

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year?
Twice a year, once over New Years and again in the summer

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much?
Only if the rumors of a Contemporary DVC come true

6. Would you make any changes if you could?
Too big of a question to answer right now

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is?
I love BWV! I love being able to book standard views.

 

[cobbler]

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts).
220 total at one resort

2. Which resort do you own?
SSR

3. What size room do you usually book?
1 bedroom

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year?
once a year and sometimes 2x a year. Probably every 3rd year is 2x.

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much?
Yeah. Not sure when yet as we aren't running a point deficit yet. But most likely in 2009 for an anniversary present. Where? At home unless Poly or Eagle Pines comes along. EP would depend on if I like it though, Poly would be a no brainer.

6. Would you make any changes if you could?
Not really

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one
So far yes it is but I haven't tried the others yet. But I do love SSR and would have no problems staying there all the time.

 

[wanna-b-Tink]

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts).
150 BoardWalk, 80 Beach Club, 270 Saratoga - 500 in all.

2. Which resort do you own?
see #1

3. What size room do you usually book?
one or two bedroom, depending on whether it's just the four of us or if we bring others. We do one trip a year with just the four of us, and then we bring along my sister and her family, or my parents, on the other trip as they love WDW too!

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year?
twice a year

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much?
I think we are finished adding on...I think we are....well, maybe

6. Would you make any changes if you could?
Wish we had gotten in when we first looked at it in 1997, instead of waiting until 2000. Also wish we had some points at VWL so we could try it out - we have never been successful at reserving a spot there.

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is?
We don't like Beach Club - the view is not so hot in our opinion. BoardWalk is ok, but the bus situation in the off-season isn't great (sharing one bus with BC, YC, Swan, Dolphin and BW is a bit much!). We do like SSR, which is good since that's where most of our points are. But our favorite resort is OKW.
