We have been wanting DVC for the past 3 years. On our last trip we rented points and stayed at the Boardwalk and that pretty much sealed the deal! When we no longer had a car payment about a month ago, and the MIL decided to chip in 100 a month towards DVC it really started to look like it was time to buy DVC.
The last DISmeet we went to at the D2D store they were giving you $13 credit per pt. so it ended up being $99/pt for AKL with the buy in at 100 pts. Yesterday when we went to the 2 year anniversary they were giving a $10 credit per pt. Making it $102/pt, so it is only going to continue to go up. They showed how Contemporary was $29 a night back in 1971 and now the rack rate is $500, so who knows what a room will be in 2050? They also gave a limited edition pin of BLT and a lithograph of one of the pictures that are in the BLT rooms. For AKV we also received Dec 2008 pts and all our dues are pro-rated, so from Dec of 08-Sept 09 we didn't have to pay dues on those pts.
But the real clincher was Aaron's face when Mickey and Minnie had to leave the dance party! Aaron was very shy of the characters at WDW but we had so much one on one time with them that he was able to open up and actually gave both of them multiple hugs! It was awesome!
It is pretty neat too! After we bought in we called the MIL and she said she had told her fiance that the one thing she wanted to do before she died was sit out on the balcony drinking coffee and watch the giraffes. She was crying!
Sorry, for the long post! But we are excited!
Congratulations!!
