So I said I was chickening out...

Well last night I was flipping through the "other" vacation spots last night, and a place I have wanted to go for years is on the list. I know hubby won't want to go to Disney every year, he has already said that he will want to trade a vacation out every couple years.

Well now that I know Plantation Beach at South Seas is an option my cold feet are G-O-N-E!!!!!

WOO HOO! Good Luck!

I'm very happy for you...but alternatives to DVC can be GONE before you know it. Buy DVC (mostly) to use at DVC!

Oh I know, from what I heard they do a disappearing act!! I hope to get to stay there at least once.

There are a ton of places on there to please hubby, and we have only been married since October 2006 and are (almost) 24 and 25 so babies will be coming soon, and after they are here,I will definitely get my moneys worth from WDW because I will take them as much as possible. Hubby will be happy as long as every 3rd or 4th year he can go somewhere else. We go to his favorite place every year (kansas city mo.) anyway so he can't complain too much.

I may even make our first trip on the dvc to south seas just to be sure I got to go there once.

We bought DVC before our son was born as well, and it turned out to be a GREAT decision!

After he was born, we have been down to 1.5 jobs, so we have less discretionary income. We'd NEVER stay in the places we do now on just that income, but since our DVC is paid off, we stay at in deluxe settings for just our dues. We take friends and family with us, we just got back from two nights at the Whitehall Hotel in Chicago for our 20th anniversary. That's a really terrific place!

The thing to do is not to overextend yourself on points. You can always add more later. We started out at 150, and added 56 more down the road.

Good luck!

We are starting off with 160 and have to finance so there won't be any for a while, but we won't need to add on for at least 5-7 years the way we travel (since one of our vacations is always KC, that only leaves so much time off from work to work with) We hope to get it paid off well before the loan time.
