My family and friends have graduated...

...from exclaiming "You're going to Disney again?"

to

"So when are you going to Disney this year?"

Almost brought a tear to my eye.

My wife and I graduated from getting asked "When are you going to Disney this year?" to "I guess you'll be at Disney the month of February again?" a few years ago.

After 15 years, I still am sad when leaving a DVC villa. We left HHI today with an ache to get back there again! And heck, we are on our way to BWV!!!

 

[Deb & Bill]

Twenty one years since our first trip and we still look forward to going. My BIL asked us last year if we could plan a trip to WDW for our niece's graduation trip for their whole family on our points (with us going along). Hah.

My wife and I graduated from getting asked "When are you going to Disney this year?" to "I guess you'll be at Disney the month of February again?" a few years ago.

I received a flurry of well-wishing text messages on my birthday this year. One asked, "Soooo, where are you?"
Me: "WDW, staying in the new Copper Creek Cascade Cabin."
Text: "Glad to hear you are at your home away from home."

They understood. ;-)
Of course, for ~20 years I spent my b'day at WDW ... but mostly for a work-related conference. This year was all for fun!

Our family and friends know: Where are you going this year on DCL? Then: can we come along? It's my DH's sister and her husband's turn this year "to Alaska".

My family and friends have graduated
from exclaiming "You're going to Disney again?"

What I would of told them at this point to move along to the next question, worked for my family:
What I tell people is:
Whoever pays the piper calls the music.
If your family wants you to go on a vacation and they are willing to pay for it, go and have a great time on them. If you are paying for the trip you go where and when you choose to go.

Everybody I’ve brought/bring loves my DVC, but in 19 yrs, no one’s ever bought in. However, it’s brought me joy to share it with family & friends. And the favorite question, what dates are we going to Food & Wine?

 

[ILoveMyDVC]

There are some old generation family members that we would rather not tell when heading back for a second time in the same year.

My children lost the love of WDW for a bit and now they are aging (mid - late 20s) back in to it. JOYOUS

Thinking ahead, my points don't seem like enough any more but can't imagine paying the current rates to buy.
