As of today, I am now a member of the DVC with 200 points at the GFV. I cannot begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to many years of fun at WDW. 
Back in 2008 when we visited WDW for the first time we did a DVC tour of AKL and purchased 200 points. But after a day or so thinking what we just did I cancelled the contract. Yes we loved Disney but at that time we didn't know if it would be a one time thing or what... Well that turned out not to be the case.
Long story short, the timing was not right, but I never stopped thinking about it nor stopped crunching the numbers.
Which leads me to now. I attempted to purchase 199 GFV points from a seller on the resale market, gave an offer, and was rejected without a counter offer. I was tempted to just go ahead and purchase but decided to think it through and look at other listings; that and their price along with closing costs and dues was only about 4k less than Disney direct and just not worth the hassle for me. I gave the AKV's much thought, but as much as I like the resort, I just really don't care for the location and know that I would not be happy if stuck there because of availability elsewhere.
I had been tossing around going with Disney directly and that is what I ended up doing. Done deal... With that I am now also booked for next June at the GFV, deluxe studio with lake view.
