Is there a cure?

[KPH500]

Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless! Every time I go, I want more points and a new home resort. I'm scared to try something new (e.g., a cruise or Adventures by Disney)!!! I can't afford any new vices!!!

We only just bought in last Fall and haven't even used our points yet! We're going in June on our dev points and haven't even seen our home resort AKV and already realize that the 200 we initially bought aren't going to be enough!

So, it looks like we'll be talking with our guide about adding on another 100.

What is the recurrence rate of addonitis? I cant' go through this every year!!!

We have been battling addonitis continually since we bought into DVC. Succumbed once to it and might falter again this year. I just keep telling myself there are far worse things I could be addicted to.

That's what I keep telling my wife!

Is there a limit to the number of points one can own?

You got that right!

We own at SSR and are in the process of adding on at HHI. We are in the rfor time machine right now.

Its hard to say when enough is enough. Maybe I can answer that question in 10 year but for now I am blinded by the pixie dust.

i'm not sure, but i think i read somewhere 5000 was the limit.

If only I had the money for 5000 points... I would be right up there now, AND trying to figure out how I can purchase more points (like putting it in one of my kids names, the dogs name or something!).

There most definitely is a cure. Just add up the Member fees deducted monthly from your checking account and see how much you are paying Disney on top of the initial buy in. Unless you pay annually, then just look at that bill.

That made us sell two contracts and get by on 325 points (still looking to sell one more contract).

I think I have it too, but looking at just a simple 80 pt add on. I wonder what the CDC has to say about this one. Can't blame birds or pigs for this, I think it's rodents... or one mouse in particular who's infecting the world.

The cure so far for me has been to over analyze the add-on (fees verses renting or other options) and then decide it's too much to think about for the time being as I don't need it just yet - push it to the side to review the next week. Procrastination will kill anything given enough of it.

I think that's at any one resort, though.

Hubbys are like that sometime!

Best wishes, I hope you can do it and enjoy the extra points.

What about wifeys? Mine still needs convincing that our 150 points isn't enough.

We've been suffering for a while now. Some days it's worse than others but we've been holding our own. One day it will knock us for a loop and we'll be calling our guide for the "50 point" medication. That should do it.

Here's hoping she that she sees the light!

It was bad yesterday. We spent the day at DLR with my nephew and family. Had to park in the "back 40" which meant we had to walk pass the DVC models and the DVC office. My DH even said to me "Why don't we say hi to our guide?" And then walking through GCH to get to DL, oh so much torture seeing the villas being built.

We too suffer from addonitis ... we've only succumbed once, but the recent "free cruise" offer made our symptoms flare ..... fortunately, we were able to fight it off by balancing our checkbook

I will say we can definitely tell the difference going from our original 180 pt purchase to our current 300 pts! We feel like we have a LOT more "freedom" with how we use our pts .... however, the discussion of what could we do with MORE pts has come up more than once

Now, if we can only stay AWAY from the sales center (and our guide) on our next trip down .....
