What is you dream number of points?

[LadyKay]

We bought 325 points @ AKV this past Dec. and it didn't take long to catch addonitis. We bought an additional 200 pts at BCV. It seems to be enough for now (we're a family of 5 plus we invite my DM on all our trips). Ideally I would be happy with 75 more points at BCV to round our total up to 600. I am hoping Grand Floridian will open a DVC resort in the next 10 years then my "dream points" status will certainly change!

My dream number of points?

All of them.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

We've got enough points to do what we want to do, which is Spring Break and almost three weeks in the summer. Now - much of that time is spent in studios, but it would take a lot more points to stay in bigger units and the two times we've been in 2-bedroom's with just the four of us - it felt too big. (We live in a 1917 bungalow, and I am not used to all the space).

I would, however, love to have about 100 points that I could use to treat people that could not afford it otherwise. When we had very young kids and DH was a pastor and I was a SAHM, the only way we were able to vacation anywhere was as guests of someone. I've got a long mental list of friends and families at church with small kids and SAHMs that I'd love to treat to Disney.

I only have 224 pts., but that is plenty for me. I think with lots of planning this amount of points can give wonderful vacations. I might have to bank and borrow on some occasions, but I will never have "too much" Disney with this amount. I also don't want to be obligated to alot of MF's.

Starbox: I would, however, love to have about 100 points that I could use to treat people... I've got a long mental list ... that I'd love to treat to Disney.

This is what is getting me too! I have enough points for my family- but I keep inviting family- as long as my aging parents say "Yes, we would love to join you." then I am going to invite them. Also I have a cousin who is special to me and I invited his family along on another trip- and my sister is going through a rough patch right now- and I want to treat her and her 5 (yes 5) children next year. I know it isn't my responsibility but I get so much joy out of sharing my piece of the magic. Now DH is getting his family on board with coming along on some of our trips- I am REALLY happy about it but- you know how it is- only so many points to go around.

I agree. That is part of the magic. We are bringing SIL, BIL, and their 2 kids next summer. So in response to this thread, we have 285 now, and I think that our goal would be about 400 someday.

I hope to do another 120 pt. add-on, possibly at BLT. This would bring us just shy of 600 pts. I also love including family on our vacations and we're in borrowing mode right now. Now if I could just convince DH that we need that add-on. Marie

My dream is to own 500 points. We are over half way there right now. We just did are first add on. I want 500 so we can enjoy longer stays and do a cruise here and there. Both our girls are under 3 so a 1 bedroom works good know but when they get older I would perfer a 2 bedroom.

Enough to stay at Boardwalk Jan, Feb and Mar-about 900? Only 1/3 of the way there.

Hubby says if we are truly dreaming, we should say 2000! The max Disney will let you have! hahaha

I think my realistic dream would be 1000.

We are DINK's and love bringing family and friends along. We have had 2 trips so far in 1 yr and have 2 more planned. Both times we brought friends and on one more we have friends coming, the last one is just us. If we had 1000 pts we could plan many trips with friends/family and without!

Emmm... Not exactly..
That's 2000 per person, per resort. 5000 per person total!!

[shortypots]

Well, in that case, I am changing my mind- 5000 points!! HAHAHA

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

We would really like to have 250 points.

That would allow us to use II and have points left over for Disney. We could also cruise or do ABD occassionally with that # of points. Of course that would be about $1250 / yr. in fees for 2007 and outrageous for 2042.

We are really, really comfortable with our 100 points.

It helps when there are only 2 of you, and you can vacation any time of year that you want, but can't take a whole lot of time off.

 

[Laurabearz]

We are capped out on points with 1000 (430 at OKW 270 BWV and 300 BCV)

The nanosecond we can, we will buy GCV, and I hear the max is 160 so we might just do that)

Then we will sell some of our BCV points :-(

 

[DisneyFreakof5]

With the size of our family and the dates that we are able to go to Disney, our "dream" points would be an additional 600. We have only 220 right now. That would give us just about 2 visits a year/10 day stays....(give or take) at the busiest times of the year for Disney.

5000? I'd love to know how people use those points. Perhaps they are frozen Canadians (like me) who spend a few months in Florida. I'm dreaming....

 

[Goofy DVC]

We have 260 pts. and will do an add on at BLT, if it happens. Just when we think we know how many points would be perfect we are hit with other unexpected situations. Like those bratty kids using our points. I guess around 520 would be nice.

 

[bluslag]

We currently have 600 points. I think this is an ideal number. We could probably use more but in the long run it just costs you more money. The longer you stay the more you spend. Right now we could use more when it comes to kids, grandkid, friends, and relatives. We seem to be very popular when it comes to vacation time.

 

[bearbear]

We currently have 200, but are planning an add on at BLT. Not sure how many we are going to splurge on. At least another 160 maybe 200.
