Last week I was down enjoying a lovely vacation with my wife and another couple we do theater with. During our stay I decided to join the DVC and bought in to the Grand Californian. I made my decision based upon the fact that the incentives made the most sense financially and that when my wife and I DO decide to go out to Disneyland, we will need to book further in advance than a trip to WDW.
Being a newlywed couple, I thought long and hard and decided that I wanted to give my family, both now and in the future, the type of vacation I remember having had ONCE in my childhood, and the DVC would make that possible.
I returned, and spoke to another DVC member who told me about how difficult it is getting bookings outside of your home resort, and she scared the crap out of me. My home resort is in California! I am sure that I will love visiting CA every so often, but WDW is where it is at for me. I plan to travel to WDW mostly during the fall and late winter, and would love to stay at all of the different VC resorts over the next decade or so.
I guess my question is, A. Am I SOL on having chosen my home resort in Anaheim. B. How difficult, on average, will it be for me to get into the other resorts. C. Has anyone else found themselves in this predicament?
Lastly, my ten day period for backing out or attempting to make a change is up at the end of this week, so I need to act quickly. Also, I DO plan to add points in the future as my finances allow for it, but it is not likely to happen in the next decade or so, so please don't suggest that as a solution.
