I am new to this board. My husband took me to WDW for the first time back in September, and hooked me. He has been 20+ times in his life. I have been 3 times now, Sept, Oct, and last week. We live in NC, so WDW is fairly close to us, about a 8.5-9 hour drive. We have no children and no plans for any.
We did the SSR DVC tour in October, and came close to buying, but still had some outstanding debts to pay off. We have done some creative juggling after finding out our new house had appreciated 30% in one year, so took a rental trip to OKW in a studio last week to determine if the "cheapest" DVC accomodation would still be acceptable. We also toured BWV and BCV. We decided that BWV was absolutely the one for us.
Upon our return on Thursday, we perused the resale listings, found a good one, and made an offer on a BWV resale through the Timeshare Store. It was accepted within 30 minutes. Deposit goes in the mail on Monday, and then we get to wait for ROFR.
The contract is 210 points at $85/pt, and comes w/ 210 '06 and 5 '05 points. We are having the owner bank all 210 before March 1 as part of the deal, regardless of when closing happens.
Our overall plan is a 5 night one-bedroom stay in September, and two other 5 night studio stays throughout the year, one likely in January and the other TBD. I was not really a fan of October, so it may be first week in Nov, May, not sure yet. We may also try for a GV at some point and invite his parents, brother/SIL, and 2 nieces.
We can't wait to book our first trip in September!!!
