planning, planning, planning...somebody stop me!

[MonkeyPants]

I cant stop planning. I just bought into DVC last month and booked my first trip for oct, just a short one (using only 32 point) and banked the rest of the points. Now come dec 1st I will have 268 points and I keep thinking of how I could use them next year.

I know I intend to take a 12 day trip in jan, though I have yet to decide exact dates. But I have made up lists of what a 12 day will cost me in points at the various DVC locations. And then have made up other lists for either 2 short trips (May & Oct) or another long one (May or Oct).

the choices the choices!!!


who else has this problem??

While I do use the planner on the computer, I blush to think of the paper that has been used as I've planned and replanned our vacations. Then all of the planning falls to pieces when DS says to me "Well, yes, we know we said it will be a few years until we'll be ready to go, but hey, can we go with you to WDW this year?" Sure....Now to plan for the future again, but this time with mostly borrowed points, year after year, it's very satisfying!!

All the time. I have gone through at least 4 vacation plans from now until 2009. Seriously.

I'm right there with you!!! We joined DVC in April and I went down in May with a girlfriend and we left the kids and husbands at home. I had to go home for the first time ASAP since we bought without even seeing SSR! I am now trying to decide to either go back to Disney World in Feb or March 2007 or go back on the Disney Magic in Feb. What is a girl to do?

I'm right there with you! I just closed on May 24th and I have two nights at OKW next week and 2 more trips in November and December. Now I'm starting to look at 2007 to plan for that year!

I'm also fighting a case of addonitis, I have 210 points but the offer of buying 50 more is really looking attractive!!! (keep saying to myself-annual dues increase, annual dues increase....)

 

[MonkeyPants]

the program is very cool, any plans to increase it to include all the Disney resorts (aka the non-dvc resorts) ?


and the more I tinker with plans...the more the idea of adding on (oh just a few ) more points increases..though I am going to try and hold off on adding on until at least a year with the DVC (unless some killer deal pops up of course )

because I'm doing the same thing! I've got a spiral notebook that's nearly full of all the different vacation scenarios I've dreamed up. I sat with my notebook, my member guide and my calculator for a good 3 hours this morning, just for fun

That Planner is great! Thanks CaskBill! The comparison thing is great so you can see where the most inexpensive place to stay would be!

btw, is there an option in there somewhere to download updated points data from the web?

because I will never ever do anything else again. My children will be wandering the streets in search of food and clean undies. (well ok they do that now..) We will have the highest mountains ever seen in Florida (the laundry spilling from my laundry room and into the street) and they will have to search for me with blood hounds because I will be buried under books,papers,pencil shavings, clothes, and dirty dishes while I feverishly calculate points and resorts through the year 2045 (or whatever it is).

You are not alone. Constantly planning! I've got April 2007 all planned to be booked in September and have already looked into how many points I will have for 2008 and what I will do with them. It's a sickness really and the only break you get from the planning is when you are actually on the vacation!!
