I got a serious case of the vacation planning bug when I was pregnant with our second daughter. 
inkbounc Made reservations at the HRH and the Dolphin for Nov/Dec and spent lots of time reading the posts at the DIS boards - esp. the DVC in anticipation of my much needed getaway.
I knew about DVC before - I have an aunt that bought in during the presale. But we never thought to buy ourselves. My parents have a timeshare that we use to exchange into Orlando. But after reading all your informative posts and having all my questions answered without even asking them, I decided that this was for us!
My dh gave me jewelry when I gave birth to our first daughter. I told him I rather have DVC points than diamonds this time!
He replied that diamonds would be much cheaper! Not to mention that DVC would be the gift that keeps on SPENDING! ha, ha...
But he didn't need much convincing.
Now that our family was growing he knew we would be going to the World even more. My 2 1/2 dd has been down twice already. He was impressed with the fact that DVC has been holding its value in resales. He told me to go for it! Yeah!
Well, since then I had my beautiful baby girl on 4/16 and closed on an OKW resale 11 days later and a BW resale 2 weeks after that. I knew resales were the only way to go since we were not financing and I wasn't too crazy about VWL. I booked our Nov/Dec trip on points and cancelled our hotel reservations!
Can't wait to go home - thanks to everyone on this board!
