My name is Liz and I am 25 years old and have cerebral palsy and I am new to this board.

Hello all! I am very very new at this, however I have many questions! I just got back from my first trip to Disney with my Fiancée, and we sat through a DVC meeting. We are very interested, however are a little hesitant at the same time. We are in our mid-twenties and are not sure if this will be worth our while for the time being.

I love the idea that there are resorts all around the world, so we are not limited to just Disney. I would like to hear some feedback from you guys if anyone has been to the other resorts besides the Disney ones (which are BEAUTIFUL!).

Also, since all we can afford at the moment is the 160pt package, is that enough to do more than one vacation usually? That is my biggest worry; I need at least one vacation a year, hopefully 2! Also, how does it work to add on points? What do they come out to per point? I believe our guide told us $112, and they would double our down payment, but is that the best incentive or should I ask for another? I saw in some of the forums that they are discounting the price per point-wouldn't that be a better deal?

So many questions!

Thank you all for reading and I can’t wait for all of your helpful answers!

These are all great questions that you need to ask on our DVC boards. It is very unlikely that you will get any answers here. Please repost on the DVC board and you should get lots of great input. And

to the DIS!

Hello everyone, been listening to the podcast for about 6 months now during my walks, not familiar at all with boards, trying to figure out all the links, incredible how many, anyway thanks to the podcast crew for keeping me company I have lost 25 pounds. Hopefully we will take my son to Magic Kingdom for the first time soon, we want both grandparents to go but have not been able to because of health problems the economy blah, blah blah. look forward to learning more about the boards.

podcasts are great, got them on my I phone! Don't ask me how my older daughter did it. Fun and informative..

We recently went to Disney World.. First time with the kids.. They loved it!

One thing I was disappointing with was some of the restaurants in the Disney area. We tried to go to something not on disney property but it still felt like a tourist trap. I will not say the name. Think we will venture out further into Orlando next time to seek out something, well let's just say less touristy and more of a local favorite. Someone told me Dr. Phillips area???

Any ideas??

This is the first board I've ever joined. Me, DH, and the munchkins are going to WDW in October. Our first MNSSHP ever! We are sooo excited!

I've scoured the net looking for little tips and things and DISboard by far is the best site I've found. Everyone here is so helpful! Thanks a bunch!
