Hey Everyone!
My wife and I are new members we just closed two weeks ago at The Villas at Disney Land Hotel. I know our EXACT moment, we decided to start some research.
I always wanted to stay at the Disneyland hotel, and we for our sons Fourth birthday we decided to finally do it. It was the most amazing week we've had. The AMAZING cast members would stop and sing to him, no matter what they were doing, people at Down Town Disney even bought him a few gifts here and there. Truly a magical trip.
What really got us though, was as we were finally leaving. We waited at the front entrance on the giant rug they have out there, and our little man was SO sad we were leaving. He was sobbing and and just saying "I wish we could live here forever!" A cast member heard, RAN over, brought treats, coloring books then he got on his knees so he was eye level with him. He said "Goodbye isn't forever, and we can't wait to see you again!"
I liken that moment, to the Hobbit when Gloin is sick of paying money then he see's The Lonely Mountain and he throws his coins in and says "Take it, take all of it." We were gun shy, and ended up staying THREE more times before pulling the trigger. The saying is true. "I wish I would have bought it sooner."
What was your moment? I'd love to read them!

SupporterI started going to WDW with my parents as a little kid in the 70's and as I got older it was just about every year in the 80's and 90's and some trip ( late 90's early 2000's?) I told my mother we should look into it. and she said no way. its probably $100k and we'll fall in love with it and will be bummed we cant afford it, so we avoided the sales folks in the parks . Flash forward to 2003 and my mother passes away. In 2004 my cousins and I ( very small, close family , we are more like sisters) went on a girls trip and my cousin Melanie said I should look into it, I was like no way, it'll be too expensive, she ignored me walked over to one of the sales agent and asked the minimum buy in, they were selling SSR at $84 a point, I was like no way whats the catch lol. I was scared there would be sales pressure so I didnt take a tour , But as soon as I got home from that trip, I called and joined over the phone using some of the money my mother left me, its what she would have wanted me to do with it, everyone assured me:) Since then I've added on at AKL & BWV. Funnily enough- my two cousins from the girls trip? They and their families are all DVC members now too LOL Melanie and her family own at Riveira and her sister Amanda and family own at VWL & AKL ( My daughter and son in law also are members, they own at GF, its a family addiction LOL)
