1,000 Points Threshold

I feel like I have passed some strange threshold today. I added on another 100 points at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. No big deal. Except… I now am the proud owner of 1,000 DVC points!

I’m not so sure why reaching the 1,000 points threshold seems like a big deal to me. I mean, it’s only 100 points more than when I had 900 DVC points yesterday.

In any event, I’m still a happy and very satisfied DVC member who is thrilled that I get to spend so much time at my favorite vacation spot in the world – Walt Disney World – at that I get to stay at my favorite resorts.

Re: 1,000 Points Threshold

You can't catch me. Well, ok maybe you can. I'm just slightly ahead of you.

I'd like to add more BLT but with the real estate market the way it is I'd have to sell SSR to buy more which is a real consideration. I like SSR but I like BLT better.

Hmmm DVC Mike, don't you work at a bank or something like that??? Not saying anything, just wondering....



I ,of course, am very very very jealous. But on the other hand, you are just doing your patriotic duty by buying and keeping the economy going.

I don't HAVE a basement. They don't do real well at sea level. My grandfather use to have one and it flooded every time it rained, and everyone around here that does have one has to have a sump pump.

Mike prints it in his and sends me some.
