Hi all!
Got room for one more?
After 30+ trips to WDW I too am a new DVCer. Closed in November with a BWV contract. I'm the Disney fanatic in the family going 2-3 times (or maybe more....) per year. We've taken an annual family trip since 2004 but that's more than enough for DH. I take additional trips with girlfriends or with just one of my 3 children at a time-they seem to be OK with that as they know their turn will come.
I have a trip planned for my bday 5/3 to 5/11 with just my youngest DD(10) staying at Pop. I had originally booked a suite at AoA so we could try it out for our summer family trip but then couldn't justify the cost for just the 2 of us. I've been to Pop 7 times so I know we'll have a great time there and am really looking forward to checking out AoA while we are there.
We have a family trip planned for 8/15 to 8/30 with DH, DD(10), DS(12) and DD(14). I closed on my DVC in time to buy us all those great DVC $399 PAPs.
so of course I'm thinking of a summer 2014 trip in early August to get another family trip in on those passes. DD(10) & I currently have premier passes we got on our first DL trip last August since I had planned on taking her in May.
I only have enough DVC points for 1 week in a 2BR at BWV this Auguust. I was planning on AoA for the other (first) week but now I'm not sure. We stayed in a family suite at ASMu in 2006. I've been thinking about 1BR at AKL or BLT to try out other DVC resorts. I was thinking it might be nice to try those out in case we decide to buy more points we might want to buy at one of those resorts. I would also love having a washer/dryer in August. We all also love BWI CL so I'm thinking about that too-or even try a deluxe room there for the first time. We love the staff there and might not stay there much now that we have DVC.
We all really enjoyed our trip to DL last summer that also included a week in San Diego. Now the kids are saying they want to go places other than just WDW. I'm thinking if I can get them to go back in 2014 we might borrow 2015 points for an all DVC stay in 2014. Or maybe even doing a split stay with US in 2014.
I'm hoping I can make up my mind when I go in May so I can book a bounceback when I'm at Pop. Maybe all I need to do is see AoA and I'll be ready to stick with that. But the ability to walk to MK or see animals and have a washer/dryer in the room sounds so good.....

Of course there is always room for more here! And wow 
at your post count and Dis join date!! It sounds like you are like me, only I started out late with my Disney love! But if I could, I would go all the time! So many choices with DVC, not sure I could cope!!
Whatever you choose, we are here to support and enable!
) I had a friend who lived/grew up there and spent the week visiting. Small world.
Yes, I remember your battle quite vividly. And we didn't regret the Poly one bit, even though it was pricey as well. Oh the dear girl may just have to live without her waffles....or we can make a stop at Captain Cook's for her on the way to the Poly, I suppose! 
However, this help would cost money, and that would take away from Disney funds. 
She has been so sweet. She asked for a RR but since I don't swim, we need a resort with water jets. BWV has a very nice kiddie pool with elephants spraying water, sadly it is out of my retired budget - although I might check on renting points even though it is a bit late for BWV. Sophia would love the boat to HS. 
and the Poly doesn't always get as high a discount as other resorts now. Our first 3 family trips were Poly CL and we did a 4th after a 3 year break. We loved the Poly! I was really afraid to try anywhere else. Poly prices are just crazy now. I actually have a GV non CL Poly room on my list for resorts to consider for this summer.
