how old were...

[mygirl]

your kids (for those of you who have 'em) when you took the plunge and bought DVC?

 

[JVL1018]

They weren't born yet.
Actually what happened was I had a m/c in October 1998, got pregnant again in January, had problems very early on, was told I was most likely miscarrying again.
DH and I were sad, assumed I would be working for longer than we had planned, had plenty of disposable income, so went out and bought a new car and bought DVC to make ourselves feel better..next OB appointment oh look there's a heartbeat! Everything is well!
Yay!
Ohhh crap we just spent A LOT of money...

DD was born October 1999 and went on her first DVC trip when she was 3.5 months old. Best money we ever spent.

 

[squirrlygirl]

11,6,4, and infant. My youngest will have 4 trips under her belt by the time she's 2!

Our girls were 10 and 7, and had been there multiple times before we purchased. The youngest was there at 2 months. They're now 25 and 22, and our first grandchild is due in October. It'll be a whole new chapter in Disney experiences. I can't wait.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Our "baby" was 22, and our DD was 28!

 

[LilGMom]

Our oldest was 5.5 yrs. old when we finally bought. In hindsight we should have bought years before that since we had been taking him 2-3 times a year since he was ten months old but what is that old saying.....

We might (big might) wait until the youngest is 5 before we add on.

 

[DeeCee735]

twins - 10. we took them three times before buying in. now they're in college and cant wait to get back there with us on our Jan trip..

 

[cmariew]

We looked at DVC when I was expecting DD#1 but didn't buy then (totally regret that.) Then purchased when DD#1 was 2 and DD#2 was 1.

 

[Ariel8676]

It was 3 years ago..my girls were 3,2 and not yet born..lol They have all been there so many times, it has been great. My 2 yo has been to WDW 4-5 times already!!!

 

[robinb]

My DD wasn't born yet either. We were DINKs and had plenty of disposable income. I can't say that now .

 

[spiceycat]

no kids.

my Dnew was 4, and my Dnie was 2.

they had just gone on their first trip to Disney. When we were leaving - mother was complaining - she would get sad everytime we left Disney then.

so when he asked why she was upset - told him she just doesn't want to leave Disney. He told me that he didn't either.

when I got home brought DVC.

 

[susieh]

Kids were 14 and 11 when we bought - they'd been there twice before when 11/8 and 13/10. They are now 26/23.

They've since been with friends (ie without us) when aged 20/17 and we are assuming we'll go with their children some time in the future

 

[groverdog]

31 and no grandkids either! We clearly bought for our own personal enjoyment and for the ability to share with friends and family. I am like a kid when I'm there and believe me, I'm no kid

 

[xipetotec]

Well technically my mom ( gramma ) took the plunge, but my kids were 3,6 and 9 years old. ( She did it for the grandkids afterall )

 

[magicaldisney]

Our two boys were 16 and 10. Started the buying process a few years earlier, but my husband got a job transfer a few days into the process so we cancelled and finally got the opportunity to buy!!! Wish we could have bought sooner, but we had to roll with the dice for a little bit there.

 

[DisDaydreamer]

DD-18, DS-14 in 98.

 

[moredisneyplease]

My first child was just about to turn 1 and now he's about to turn 3 so I've had my DVC for exactly two years! Now I have a 3 month old and my goal is to finish paying of my first contract in the next 9 months so that when the new babe is nearly a year I can add more on! I figure if I keep adding a few hundred w/ each kid we'll be set!

 

[KLR-wlv]

My DS was 5 and my DD was 3. That was 7 years ago - now we have a 10 month old DD who gets to go for the first time in a week! My husband thinks I had her just to extend going to Disneyworld with kids longer...Not quite - but a very good excuse for another baby!

 

[MinnieGi]

Our DD was 18 months and DS was not born yet! They are now 7 & 3 1/2!!! Since we added on a year after DS was born he has been to WDW 6 times and including HHI, he is going on DVC trip #8 - not bad for someone 3 1/2 yo old!!!

 

[dvcnewgirl]

My DD was 2 and my son was not born yet.. She is now 5 and he is 1.
