Anyone else out there like me?
Have travelled to The World almost every year since 1987 (married 1 year no kids no mortgage). I always stayed in bargain accommodations offsite (there were some great bargains in Orlando in the 90's). One year I decided to call disney (I think it was in 2004), just for the heck of it. POFQ looked intriguing to me and I figured I could never affor to stay there. Well as it so happened I got a CAA/AAA discount, and had my first onsite stay in May 2004 (8 nights onsite then 5 or 6 offsite at the Hawthorne suites). There was no turning back. Next stay; January 2006, 10 nights CSR, awesome. Then May 2007 came along; 7 nights All Stars package with the dining plan, 6 nights CSR, 3 nights Contemporary Magic Kingdom view ($100 off a night). While there I looked longingly at the DVC booths, but was afraid to approach for fear of a hard sell. (As if it would take a hard sell to convince me!) I stayed strong.
Then when I got back home I started looking at the dvc boards, and the timeshare store. Well, I bought a small resale (60 pts) and now I have a reservation booked for March 2008. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can afford to add on.
Where does it all end. Will I be a disney zombie before long?
