Thanks. Now I'm waiting for Grand Californian. I just hope I won't catch add-on-itis. I haven't even registered at Disboards yet!

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to "relax" because of the Aloha/ATA fiasco. I plan to read the planner and dream book from cover to cover but it's just not going to happen this week!

PS. I also think we should have a permanent sticky thread to welcome new members.

Wayne,

That's what I was going for. Moderator can we pls have a welcome home thread without these two last posts? I want the new owners to feel welcome and DVC is noted for their welcome homes.

Thanks Steamboat Bill for reminding me. Marylyn

I know you guys don't have a Mod yet - so I "stuck" this for you and deleted the 2 posts (as requested.) Steamboat Bill or your future Mod may want to do something different.
 
Ok, to clarify...this is the ONLY official thread where new DVC members can introduce themselves and we greet them with a "Welcome Home" message.

For those non-DVC members that have no idea what we are talking about....Disney cast members say "Welcome Home" to DVC guests when they enter the building. It is fun at first and then gets annoying after hearing it hundreds of times. But DVC members still like to say it to new members as the new members think it is a novelity and not all DVC members are tired of hearing it.

Some other DVC forums go overboard and you see Welcome Home posts in almost every thread.

I've been a member since 1992 and I never get bored of hearing Welcome Home. In fact, if the the guard forgets to say it at the gate when we check in we remind him. I love that the guards at the other hotels say Welcome Home to us when we show our DVC pass for pool hopping or lunch. I love that the people in the booths at the various venues say Welcome Home to me as I pass by in my member hat. I love that we are special and I love to be remembered.
 
Ok, I am so excited!!! We found out this am that we passed ROFR on our HHI contract!! Whooo Hoooo!!!

We purchased a 50 point (just a start, I'm sure!) HHI contract with 50 banked 07 and all 08 points. That will give us our early 09 trip and the time to add on more points for our 2010 trip!!! :D See, the wheels are already turning!! That mousebite wasn't that painful!

Welcome Home!! Many happy years await you as a DVC member. You will never regret your decision!! Congratulations!!
Marylyn
 
We are officially official!!!

Points are in the system today!! Whoo hooo!! We are done!:whoopie:
 
BCV and BWV on the way

We just put in offers for a 160 pt. BCV at $88/point and a 100 pt. BWV at $83/point. The BCV has no points until 4/2010, but that's no biggie. BWV has 19 from 2008 rolling into 2009. It seems like these are reasonable w.r.t ROFR, so we'll see.

Did some research here, found the suggested sites, and made the offers. This seemed really easy to do, although it seems that BCV and BWV don't hang around long. I guess it's more challenging if one tries to find (and secure) the really good deals.

Cheers.
 
Congrats and Good luck with ROFR! Those are two properties that have pretty long waiting lists to buy direct so resale was your only option, really. Keep us posted and let us know what happens!!
 
We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for you. :)
 
I just purchased DVC - BLT on Saturday! This has been a LONG time coming. I am so glad we finally joined! And YES, I wish I had done it sooner. ;)
 
WELCOME HOME!! LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR MEMBERSHIP..:cheer:

Hi everybody!

Just wanted to introduce myself.. I just bought 160 points at BLT. I had trolled a while on the boards before buying, looking at posts up to 2 years ago... and decided it was something for me to do!

So, I wanted to officially be apart of everything! and say thanks for all the info i've gotten from you all!

New member to the board

I wanted to say hello. I am looking into DVC ownership and I am trying to get as much info before I pull the trigger on a purchase. I have been reading for two days here. I almost bought directly a few months back. I see people are getting some good deals on buying aftermarket. I hope I can get the info I need to get something purchased, soon. I look forward to learning and sharing in vacation fun.Thanks.
 
Hi Rico,
There is lots of info here on DVC but there is also another forum that is dedicated to DVC specifically. Mouseowners is the place to get lots of friendly info on passing ROFR and where to buy that resale contract.
Good luck in your purchase. :)
