We're almost neighbors - Crystal Lake here!

We're in the process of buying our first contract 135 pts @ AKV. We just passed ROFR yesterday and I'm signing the closing docs tonight! Tomorrow is the stop at the bank

We've wanted to buy in since about 2004, and things have finally worked out for us.

Oh wow!

I spend almost every Tues. night at CGHS - I'm in the Crystal Lake Community Band and that's where we rehearse

I'm a transplant to the area (I'm in my 4th state). Moved here in '01. Hubby grew up in Waukegan - his parents and siblings all live in the Chicago area. I really like CL and am quite happy here.

Champaign here! Both my husband and myself grew up in Naperville and attended NCHS.

We're getting ready to purchase at SSR sometime this year, on resale, and are excited beyond words. We're looking forward to being a part of the DVC family.

Hi! Hoffman Estates here too!
Do you attend the Doorway to Dreams events at Woodfield?
We try not to miss them. The last one they had was awesome!

 

[soxyes]

Hey there!

We're live in Lake in the Hills and are new owners (320) at SSR!

 

[quirty30]

Can't believe I never posted on this thread before. We're in Des Plaines....about 5 minutes from Doorway to Dreams at Woodfield (so nice to be able to drop by and get a quick Disney fix!)

 

[girlsn980103]

We live in Pesotum...just south of Champaign.

We have 150 points at SSR with dreams of many more....

 

[Disneycouple99]

Danville here. Have owned since 2008.

 

[TOTALLYGOOFY]

We purchased 150 points at BCV in 2005. We live in Schaumburg, and at one time we lived North of Orlando getting a lot of use out of our annual pass. I'm from Rockford and my DH is from a small town in Central IL, "too small to find on a map." Glad we found this thread belatedly.

On 7/18/1955 Disneyland CA Opened to the public!

Plainfield here and own at ssr and blt, I do have a few questions for the chicagoland disers, In janurary we will be driving for the 1st time and wondering....
1.How long of a drive in time?
2.Did ya drive straight thru or stay somewhere and make it a 2 day trip?
3.Where is a good 3/4 of the way there place to stay?
4.What time did ya leave to drive straight thru and did it ruin ur arrival day because of tired family? Family is myself, dw, dd4 and dd1.
5.I have heard form a few that the closer it gets during ur trip the more u dread the ride home and it is the hardest part for the family, is that true?
6.And any other tips would help?
Thanks

Hi, we live in Warrenville. When we were younger we used to drive with the kids. Used to get our maps from AAA so we knew where all the construction was ahead of time. We would leave around 4am and drive all the way through GA. Usually arriving late evening. After a dinner, pool swim, and sleep, we would be on the road in the am around 6/7. The 2nd leg would go much quicker and was much easier. I believe we would be in shortly after lunch. Overall it was around a 20 hour trip if I remember correctly. Sometimes on the way home we would ride straight through if we were eager to get to our own beds. The next day was always tough. Now that we are in our 40s, we like to fly.

My daughter lives in Montgomery and she is driving down with a 3 y/o and a 8 mo. The weather will be the biggest challenge.

She will be travelling in Dec.
