Ok, for the longest time ( I've gone to Disney at least yearly since they opened. I remember the first year of DVC ) I felt like I didn't "need" DVC. I thought it was a great idea, mind you. Just not for me. However, I would never even consider staying off site.
Anyhoo, my sister, bought DVC a few years back. She's very careful with her points and gets huge milage from her investment. However, her kids are younger, I take scuba diving vacations etc etc. I still didn't "need" it.
This December, I joined my DS, my BIL and Mom and Dad on a trip to BWV the first week of Dec. It was, honestly, the most fun trip I remember in a looong time ( maybe forever
) I decided that I did " need " to go to BWV each beginning of December with my family.So I contacted TTS. Told them I needed 50 BWV points. No more. That way I could go Sun-Thurs every December and stay in a studio. I was on the way.
Well, after further discussion with DH, and a call from my sister inviting me to Disney in June, I decided I didn't "need" 50 points. I "needed" 100 points. I'm currently waiting for ROFR on that contract.Since then, I've decided that I "need" my December family trip, a June waterpark trip AND a May ( or other off month ) girls only trip.
You guessed it, folks. Without even trying, I now "need" more points than I wanted a contract for. 
So, now I'm already talking about an add on and how many more points I'll "need" to do what I want with my new found addiction.
I just wanted to thank you all ( especially DVCNEWGIRL aka my dear sister ) for sucking me into your swirling vortex of Disneyism. Only took 20 plus years.
And yes, the posters here on the Disboards are a different breed, but they tell it like it is!! Enjoy your new community!
The force is strong.....welcome to the dark side!
