Yeah for me. 
PNO4TE said:DH and I have been planning many vacations that we are putting together for the next 9 months and we are discussing the Christmas trip a lot. We have had such great luck renting DVC points in the past (and are doing it again for the October trip) that we are kicking around the idea of doing it yet again for Christmas. We also like the option of having Christmas dinner in our room since nothing we have ever done at WDW has ever felt "right" to us.
OKW is a location we have never tried so we started looking at the accommodations there and like the fact that they are bigger than the other DVC resorts and they have a full-sized dining table. Then I looked at the size of a 1BR villa... it is 1016 square feet. The cottage on our honeymoon was #1016, our first apartment was at 1016 William Street, our room number on our trip to Acapulco was 1016 and I am now posting on page 1016 of the DDA thread. doo doo doo doo
Looks like I need to post a request for points on the DVC Rent board in the near future

Let me know if you want me to help out, I don't have any little ones to sew for anymore, so I actually would enjoy it.

(We'd always assumed we'd do it someday - had never looked into the price of it though - but figured we couldn't afford to do it right now.) When I finally convinced him to sit down and hear me out, he was a bit amazed, as was I, to see that our initial investment (I'm sure we'll add-on points in the future) was really not as much as we'd anticipated when the F&F deal was going on. Heck, if we'd bought this time last year, we'd probably be over halfway there to paying the whole thing off with the $$ we spent on accomodations alone this past year!
I think when you want to go multiple times in a year (or if your family is so large that you'd need 2 rooms), DVC is a no-brainer, IMO.
And even though I've been whining about how we probably won't be back until late 2007, I do still have over 50 points of my "freebie" 2005 points to use. As DH said to me as I was crying leaving the MK, "you don't honestly think that we won't be back before then, do you?!"

Can't help you on this one, Elin. I've been through both of them but don't really know what there is to do/see there. Good luck!PNO4TE said:We have gone to WDW for 10 Christmases now and have always stayed a week or more. Last year Bob and the girls (especially the girls) indicated that they would like to go to WDW but for less nights. I am OK with this as I am aware that somewhere out there we can find other places to spend time and money on Christmas vacations.
(I know that this is blasphemy and I hesitate to say it too loudly)
That being said... we have pretty much decided to drive from Virginia this trip and when we leave WDW we will go to Savannah, GA or Charleston, SC. We have never been to either place and have all expressed interest in both those cities in the past.
Do any of my DDA friends have any thoughts on either of these two beautiful localities for 3-4 days in late December? Who am I kidding... of COURSE you will have opinions!
