When the kids were younger, we always stayed at the Poly, but with the expense we could only manage a trip every two years. We'd come home from one trip, book the next and then send in payments every month. When they decorated the castle as a birthday cake, I just had to go see it. It was in between trips so I went to my TA and he said there was no room at the Poly, but we could get the Yacht Club. We booked two rooms there for a four or five night stay, and we were hooked on that area ever since. We got home and switched our next year's ressie to the YC. Then in '99 while staying at the YC we took the boat over to the Boardwalk, took the tour, saw the 1BR and signed on the dotted line. We've never regretted our decision. The funny thing is that even buying in, we sold back half of our points for the $10 discount, so we still didn't go back for 2 years. That was the last two-year span. We went once every year from 2001-2006. Now, thanks to addonitis and the freedom of retirement, we are lucky enough to own enough points to go two or three times a year.
