Where will your next DVC contract be and why?

[DisMomNCM]

Since most of us are DVC addicts, I am sure plenty of us are often thinking about where our next contract will be. After each purchase, my husband and I firmly agree that now we have enough points and are done buying...until we change our minds

We started with a direct contract at Poly and have since added resale at AKL, SSR, and BLT. The other day, though, I started thinking about where I would add on to...and I think I'd like a Riviera contract in the future. We love the ease of the Skyliner and enjoyed having a quiet resort to spend time at (as opposed to our beloved Polynesian circus lol). With two kids, transportation is one of our highest priorities. Because we have so many points at the OG resorts (and direct benefits), I don't think the restrictions on a Riviera contract would bother us much.

The answers to your question will vary. For us, it's probably that at our 'later' stage in life, we won't be buying more! We went through what you're describing when we were younger and the kids were with us every trip. But now many of our trips are just 2 of us, with the occasional expanded family (grandkids!) joining us when they can. Through the years, we added contracts and sold contracts to get us where we are now, enjoying our AKL (our absolute favorite) and BC points, with the chance to use them sometimes at the other resorts. The beauty of so many choices is folks can pick what's best for them. If you're like us, your choices and needs might change as your family gets older. At some point, the kids either want to bring friends or perhaps don't want to go at all! Enjoy the trips with them!!

I'm thinking a contract at BCV just to be able to use the 11 month booking window. Our current home resorts are BLT and SSR (1 direct and 1 re-sale). We stayed at BCV for the first time last year and totally fell in love, so much so that we have extended that portion of our split stay so that we will be there for 11 nights this year. We stayed in a one bed which we much preferred to the 1 bed at BLT as it seemed more airy. (Missed the second bathroom though). The 7 month widow jitters were very very scary and I had to take a day off work to be sure of being on line at 8am!

I'm evaluating for a year. I would love to add on Aulani resale for the 11 month booking window, but I don't want to pay $2K a year extra for that at this time. We're finally doing our covid era revenge vacations, very late to the party, and will figure out what type of vacations we will want for the foreseeable future.

My husband, who didn't really want to buy DVC, gets very attached to places. He would happily stay at the exact same place year after year. Chances are very high that he'll want to buy Aulani after we stay there. I'm not as impulsive with major purchases or big commitments and I'll still be crunching numbers and evaulating which vacations I prefer through the end of this year.

I am a loose cannon so it really could be anywhere. Except OKW,VB,HHI. Previously SSR was on that list but I recently learned I could be swayed by a phenomenal deal there if the contact was small for SAP.

But if I had to guess it will be Aul-s or LSL.

I am staying at RIV this month for the very first time so check back with me then and see where my head is at
