Busy day today, but a happy one........
I found out at lunchtime that our offer for the OKW DVC was accepted. We received our paperwork, via e-mail late this afternoon, my DW and I have signed the papers and the deposit check is written out. I will be taking the papers and check to the post office first thing tomorrow morning........
10,851 with my vote added in this morning!!!

Oh exalted leader...my DVC membership is not quite yet started...we purchased resale and await Disney's accounting department putting all of their collective pencils to paper. DW and I did the tour on the last trip (Feb) and immediately put the wheels in motion.
We are a family of five and very, very soon will need the room of a 1 or 2 BR unit. That was one reason. Another reason is we are beginning to slow down our "pedal to the metal" approach with the parks. After four straight years of WDW we no longer need to spend morning to nite in the parks. Still try like hell, though!!
I have become addicted and have enjoyed getting involved in DVC and the DISboards. I never would have imagined. But I can imagine DVC absolutely being the right choice for us. After my first trip "home" I'll likely be able to confirm that for you!
We haven't used it yet - we just joined in Feb - after many years of debate and trips anyway. We are a family of 5, and are DEFINITELY looking forward to the extra space a 1 BR provides. As a family we have gone to WDW annually since 03 - twice in 05, with several mini-trips along the way. I took both of my sons on separate F/S weekends in 04 and 05. We honeymooned at the Grand Flo, and then back on a couple of occasions before the family trips began + several solo visits while in FL on business.
Similar yet different than what others have said about DVC in other threads and on the DVC DVD - it's not that I wished we'd known sooner - it's I wish we been able to join sooner. I first started inquiring about DVC shortly after our honeymoon - but finances just didn't allow. A couple of trips have been on points so we stayed at the Hotel Plaza or off-site. 1 trip we won in a contest, and the rest were cash. Regardless of how we got there - we did, and as the kids have grown, their own desire to return has grown. We're excited about how we're going to use the membership.
My biggest wish was that we had been able to get more points from the get-go!!! Addonitis has already struck. But, we're waiting for DL's GCV before we add more points. My DW, oldest DS and I are native CA 'ians and have lots of fam & friends out there, + my employer is based in So. Cal - so we get out there regularly too. Having home resort on both coasts makes sense for us.
Good selling point.
DVC - one of the best vacation decisions we ever made.
Just wish we could have done it sooner.
Good selling point.
Thanks everybody! I am sold! I just have to talk with the wifey now.
