Four years ago we used our DVC points to stay for a week at Aulani. Even though I was recovering from a hysterectomy, my surgeon thought it was a great idea to go! And I felt fine but carried no luggage! I had hoarded Hawaiian airlines miles and Alaska airlines miles to cover the flights - we stopped in Seattle both ways as my husband would need at least a 24 hour break. We live in Boston so Hawaii is a very long journey. I had a difficult time actually believing we were in Hawaii! It seemed surreal having lunch on the lanai at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and seeing Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from our table. And then, of course, the trip to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. An upcoming bucket list item is an Alaskan cruise on Princess for my 60th in September - Disney's cruise prices are just ridiculous. We rented out our Saratoga Springs DVC points to cover some of the cruise. So, it can be done on one income - my husband is a SAHD to our disabled adult son. A longer term bucket list is Japan and Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
