Way to go Mrs. V-man!!

Of course, I'm still waiting to hear that closing papers from the seller have gotten to the closing agency, so I am passing the time working on trying to find my next contract.
But my head is spinning! I'm trying to figure the next several years of use patterns for three families, to figure out whether a 200-point contract with no current points would work better or worse than a 150-point contract with all current points, while taking into account the difference between use years and calendar years and being mindful of banking windows. Trying to chart all this out to see how many points we would use for the every other year GV reunions, and the intervening years when just one of the two boys and their family will go, and adding in our shorter trips each year, with one grandkid at a time. I'm going through page after page of a legal pad, and keep finding where I got confused back a few columns, which changes all the columns from there on! It's going to take awhile to get accustomed to thinking in points and use years, rather than money and calendar years, but I guess I'll get there sooner or later. If I do, it will prove that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
Ive been a longtime reader of this thread and its predecessor.I recently closed on a contract and reading your posts was probably the only thing that kept me from going crazy during the long ROFR and estoppel periods.
Now, I want to join in the fun too and I have a question for those of you that made it through. Im assuming that DVC will be sending out some materials (information, membership cards, etc). What materials should I be expecting to receive directly from DVC? How long did you wait for them? Does it all arrive at once or trickle in over time?![]()
Hello all! Just thought I'd post that it took 8 days from the email notifying me that my OKW contract closed until MS had me in the system. I started calling MS a few days ago and hit the jackpot today.
I was able to get a studio at SSR for the third week in July. It was such a thrill to finally make a reservation.
Signing onto the DVC website took 4 phone calls to straighten out, but on the bright side, it only took one day!

I got ( quickly ) a planner from Disney, but didn't get my member cards. So, when I was there last week, I called my guide and he had my member cards delivered to my room.
Since I'm a newbie I'm not sure how everything works. On the trash & towel service, I understand you get it on the 4th day. When you check in do they give you enough towels to last 4 days or do they just give you a few & then you're basically do the resort's laundry for them? What do you do with your trash if it's full before the 4th day? Not that I anticipate that would happen because I don't plan on doing much cooking except for breakfast & reheating leftovers.Thanks all.

A little birdie told me that a certain sister has put an offer on an add on contract today.
