The whole point is...the magic of Disney is...you don't seem to care about spending money. You kind of look the other way. All our lives we've been of the stay at a cheapy motel because you don't spend a lot of time in your room mindset. We stayed at the Contemporary once, with 5 people, and it cost like 6,000.00 for a week (but that of course was with tickets - which is another story). We previewed SSR on that vacation, and even the studio looked so open and spacious compared to our room. In our room at the Contemporary, we had a cooler with ice and milk and hot dogs, etc. When we wanted something to eat, we would send the kids (teens) down to the main hotel to microwave it. It was really a trek. And we knew that we would never want a cheapy hotel after staying at the contemporary. We scrimp and save 50 weeks out of the year. For two weeks, we stay in the best of accomodations. We are numero uno. It is part of what makes vacationing a vacation. I used to want a day off to rest up after a vacation. Here you have the washer/dryer, fridge, oven and microwave, and a jacuzzi. If you want, you can even come home with clean laundry! How much is that worth to you? You can't put a price on this! I have the dues taken out of my bank account monthly, and I don't look. We are borrowing into 2007, and are very happy that we can do this for the rest of our lives. Prices at the Contemporary will keep going up, but we will have our 210 points until 2042. We'll be somewhere in our 80's. We are able to take and WOW our relatives. And DVC just keeps getting better and better. I would say - go for it if you can afford it.
