I totally understand! That is why we only bought 150 points. We do enjoy going to WDW to 'relax' sometimes, and staying in a 1 bedroom withour kids is SOOOO nice. We would never have done that without DVC.
BUT, since we only have 150 points, we don't always stay at the DVC resorts. Just this past Christmas we stayed at Pop Century (great value resort). I have another room booked there in September for a Saturday night.
Some might say we need more points, but we don't think so. Sometimes we want to go to WDW and have a relaxing time and enjoy the resort. Those will be our DVC stays. Other times we just need a place to sleep and shower. Those will be our Pop Century stays.
So maybe you might want to reconsider the number of points you are getting. We find we can do quite a bit with our 150 points, and if we run out (like this past year) we can stay at Pop Century or the All Stars.
But if you don't think you will enjoy the deluxe resorts because you are always at the parks, then maybe it would be better to just not buy at al.
When we are at WDW for a long period of time, we like 'off' days. Days that we just hang out at Storm Along Bay if we are staying at Beach Club, or days to go 'pool hopping' and get to see what other resorts are like, or days to go hang out at DTD. On those days, the DVC resorts are great.
Also, it is SO nice to have our own room seperate from the kids. They can watch TV and we can watch our own TV. Also, we can have a nice breakfast in our room and whatever other meals we might want to have.
Have you stayed at a DVC resort yet? Maybe you could rent some points and try out a 1 or 2 bedroom. You may be surprised how much you enjoy it! DVC has changed the way to vacation. Before DVC, we also looked at our room as a place to sleep and shower. Now we just love having time to enjoy the resorts! Can't wait to get to stay at VWL and rent some bikes.
Good Luck in your decision.
