How Many Points do you have? Home? What size room do you use?

[Goofyhouk]

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts). 210

2. Which resort do you own? SSR

3. What size room do you usually book? We have only gone twice, and have gotten 2Bdrms each time (spoiled, spoiled, spoiled). We have a DS 16 and DD 14, so the second bathroom and 2 extra beds is a neccessity. I am looking forward to a solo trip with DW sometime so we can get just a 1 Bdrm. And I would consider a studio for a quick trip if we have some points to use up.

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year? Usually once a year, though I would like to go at the end of school in May/early June and again at Thanksgiving each year.

5. Do you plan to add on? Probably not, at least not in the near future. The points we have seem to work for us.

6. Would you make any changes if you could? No.

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is? We haven't stayed at SSR yet - have a reservation for this coming Thanksgiving week, and we are really looking forward to staying there. We stayed at OKW 2 years ago - really liked that, especially the size of the living room and the porch. Stayed at BCV last year to attend Star Wars Weekend. Location was great, and had a view of EPCOT...but also of the road and the swampy drainage ditch/stream - and what about those LONG halls. And SAB didn't live up to my expectations, so probably won't stay there again (and I know the BCV crowd will welcome that ). I would love to try VWL and HHI sometime for the woodsie feel.

We have a total of 430 points..a 200 point contract and a 230 point contract. Our home resort for both contracts is OKW. One has a September Use Year, one has an October Use Year. We generally rent a one BR or larger, depending on the size of our travelling group. If it is just DH & I, we rent a one BR because we have been spoiled!!!!

1. How many points do you have total? (Please breakdown if you own at different resorts). - 160 points

2. Which resort do you own? SSR

3. What size room do you usually book? Studio for now as it's just DH and I, will probably start doing 1 BDR once we decide to have a munchkin. Also, if other people are joining us, we get a bigger place.

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year? Once a year typically, though this year we are renting our points and going on a cruise.

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much? Probably will in the future, but not right now.

6. Would you make any changes if you could? I'm actually perfectly happy with it. Does that make me odd?

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is? SSR is our favorite right now, we like the proximity to DD. Though we'd like to stay at BCV or VWL.

1 & 2. total pts/resort: 400
240 BWV, 60 BCV, 100 SSR
3. What size room do you usually book? norm 1 bdrm, but every other year a 2 bdrm (with parents & DB/family). last year (DD & self) & this year (DH & self) was/is a studio. loved them all!!
4. How often do you go to WDW? 1x year (normally )
5. Do you plan to add on? maybe.........SSR for the extra years, pricing (never had a prob using non-home pts to get our desired room)
6. Would you make any changes if you could? would add discounts: on WDW shopping, MYW passes (LOVE the DP tho!)
also, tweak system so that requests are somewhat guaranteed, streamline check-in (we norm arrive at 10AM, don't get room til 4PM)
7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is?
BWV is absolute fav of ALL DVC resorts (btw, YC is fav non-DVC)

1. How many points do you have total?

362 points (as of this week), 287 at VWL, 25 at OWK and 50 at BWV. Looking to sell off the 25 at OKW and 37 at VWL so that will bring us down to 325.

2. Which resort do you own? VWL, BWV, OKW

3. What size room do you usually book? Tend to go with friends so usually book a 1 bdrm, have though booked a studio.

4. How often do you go to WDW or other per year? So far every year

5. Do you plan to add on? If so, where and how much? Nope, just did a 50 point add on at BWV, that's why I'm looking to sell off the 25 pts at OKW and 37 pts at VWL.

6. Would you make any changes if you could? Possibly have 25 pts less at VWL and 25 pts more at BWV

7. Is your home resort your favorite resort...if no, which one is? VWL is our top favorite. We got BWV no so much because of the resort but the proximity to Epcot.

If they were 5 things Disney could do for DVC Members what would you like to see them do? i.e., Ride the new expedition everest ride before regular guests get to.

400
BWV
1 BR
2-3X a year
Yes, if a monorail resort ever comes on board
Bought at more than one resort when we did our add ons
BWV

 

[Simba's Mom]

We own a total of 310 points, 210 at OKW and 100 at BCV.

The 210 are used in this manner: 1 week in a 1 BR off season at HH, 1 week (usually in May) at OKW in a 1 BR.
The 100 are "my" points, for my annual solo trip in a studio at BCV.

We have no plans to add on-we've added on so many times I think we're FINALLY where we should be for the foreseeable future. And yes, we own at exactly the resorts we want most to stay at. Initially, we started with 150 points at another resort, but DH loved OKW so much after we stayed there that we did "the home resort shuffle" of buy/sell so we'd own at OKW. Once I stayed at BCV on a solo trip, it reminded this Cape Cod girl so much of where she grew up, I had to own there too.

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!

We have 230 BWV points. Right now we stay in 1 bdr villas, we go 1x per year, taking out kids out of school. In 2007 we plan to add 85 points, bring our total to 315. We will always do 2 bdr villas starting in 2007, as our kids will be getting bigger. The only change I would have made is buying an initial resale contract with more points.
I have to say our home resort, BWV, is one of our two favorties. We love the Epcot resorts and would have bought either BCV or BWV. We leaned towards BWV because of the boardwalk view thing. Well, that was really DH, he has this thing with boardwalk view. We would have only bought one of those two resorts. We would be very happy only staying at BWV for every trip, that's how I know we love it.
