Anyone Else get the DVC email for adding on points at SSR?

[DVCWDWMEMBER]

We purchased additional point when DVC offered 100 points to use within a year of purchase for free. We have DVC points in the WL, BC and SSR and have never had a problem getting reservations. One thing we always do is make a list of our preferences and if we can't get in the first DVC resort we then move down the list. We have always taken the atitude that no matter what DVC resort we stay at we are at WDW. We have even splurged and stayed at the PR and PO with our DVC points. For us the fact that we are there is all that matters.

I got the email back in February about SSR and AKL. We chose to add on 200 points at AKL mostly because we really liked it there when we stayed back in 2002. We also own at the BCV and love it there. Now we have options at two of our more favorite resorts.

I do agree that we probobly won't be seeing points under $100. This is one of the reasons we decided to jump in now - before the prices jumped up again.

I actually really like SSR (I often wonder if the people who claim not to like it have ever stayed there), but we're not very likely to add additional points there.

Not because we don't like it, but because if we're going to do an add-on it will be someplace new. I like the idea of being able to book 11 months out at multiple DVC resorts.

We like SSR also. We've stayed there several times. In fact, we're checking in there tomorrow morning for a short stay.

I got that e-mail also, but like Ian, if I do add on (again!) it will be at a third resort; we already have 250 pts @ SSR and 150 @ AKLV. Depending on the prices, I might spring for one of the ones Ian mentioned at either Poly or the GF.

Huh? What did you say, Ed? April Fools? What?

But I will say, check out the thread in News about Disney building DVC at the three monorail resorts. When that goes through, it will make the 7 month booking window a lot easier to deal with for places like VWL and BCV.

The story about the new monorail DVC sites and the monorail going down AK way seem a little suspicious as they have both come out on April 1st.

Party pooper!

Do you think Ian was also doing an April fool when he said he actually liked staying at SSR?
