Not that I want to turn this thread into something different than what it began as, but I guess I am confused. You purchased 3 contracts on impulse!!! Wow! One contract I totally get, 3, wow!!!

Anyways, when we purchased our DVC we did the math and after 4 vacations it pays for itself. Even if you stay in a studio at a dvc resort, the amount of times you have gone or plan to go, it would have taken care of your trips already. I am sure you had your reasons for selling your other contracts but if you plan on going as often as you say, why wouldn't you just keep the one contract? Making a monthly payment towards DVC is just like saving for a vaction for me. I guess it is all in the way in which you choose to convince yourself to think about it!!!

PS. I get the taking advantage of free dining stuff, but year to year we never know if it will happen or not, but owning a DVC, year to year you always know you can take a vacation be it to Disney or somewhere else, there is one to be taken.

Anyways, sorry to continue the threadjack!
