When did you know you wanted DVC?

If I win the lottery, there will be signs! Golden Oak is #1 and Club 33 is #2 on my list

Same with a rental in Cotino lol

Nope, never needed to add on - although every time a new resort opened, I’ve wanted to own a bit of it! We’ve made liberal use of borrowing, very seldom banking except when “saving up” for a big family trip. We also have access to other timeshares near WDW, which helps us stretch our DVC points.

Our travel pattern has changed a lot, though, as kids grew up and we became empty nesters. Thanksgiving 1998 was the last time we came for that week. We mostly came during early March for our kids’ Spring Break with occasional trips at other times for conferences or to suit our guests. After it became just the two of us, our usual time became mid-October into early March. And now there are grandchildren, so our pattern is changing again!

Edit - pesky typos!

Im sure it would be tempting not to own something new and exciting through the years! Seems like you're really doing things right!

We decided to take the kids in Feb 2010 when they were 4yo and 20mths. It was during the 2008-09 recession fallout that Disney offered something like "buy 4 nights, get 3 nights free" in a deluxe villa. We stayed at SSR in a 1BR and we were immediately hooked. We bought BLT points sight unseen on that trip. I have attempted to abandon Disney once or twice and do other travels, and I always come back. It is the best trip for our family because DH and I are busy bees and aren't interested in sitting around on vacations. I love getting 30k steps a day

Im having this issue now, my wife wants to travel somewhere else internationally and I have no interest. I am hooked on this Disney life (I said yes to Paris, China, and Tokyo, you can guess why )
