Hello from the UK 🖐
This is a huge thank you message to Pete, the DVC podcast crew and all the DVC contributors on the boards!
I have been an avid listener of the DIS since 2006 and have always dreamt of one day being able to join the DVC. After a tough few years having multiple failed cycles of IVF I have accepted that being a Step Momma and a Dog Momma is my destiny and although my biggest wish in life, to become a Mom, has not came true my only other wish, of joining the DVC, seems to now becoming reality as tonight my Husband and I had an offer on a resale at SSR accepted!
We have used the Timeshare Store after been introduced to them by the DVC podcast videos. I have spent a good couple of years researching the DVC, have been to Open House etc, but it really has been the addition of the DVC podcasts and YouTubes that have finalised our decision. I especially found the recent edition where Pete discussed how SSR can be a vacation within itself ,without the need to go to any of the parks, thought provoking. As the years go by and my step daughter grows up and we vacation just as a couple (until one day when hopefully I become a grandparent!
) the thought of going to the spa, gym, golfing and being so close to shopping and dining at DS sounded like BLISS, I just hadn't thought of membership in this way and it really contributed toward our decision making about which resort to go for.
Last night I sat and showed my Husband the videos, and they really helped to seal the deal for him to realise this is the direction we need to go in rather than buying direct.
The information I have gathered from the forums and the podcasts has been invaluable and I can not thank you all enough - we even made an offer, something I would never have realised we could do without the podcast!
I am so happy tonight - I wanted to share this and my thanks to the team and to the Timeshare Store for their help so far - super fast, efficient and friendly.
Here's to a smooth journey to closing and to many happy memories at SSR
