DVC Villas at Disney's Animal Kingdom

It's no longer a big news that the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) will be building DVC villas at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We reported this months ago.

Well yesterday, we received a card from DVC informing us about the Animal Kingdom villas and offering us first dibs at buying into it. It was a very nice card, with the words:

Discover a place that over 24 species call their Home Resort.

I thought that was cute. They are also running a special for DVC members who buy 100 points or more at the new villas - $8 credit per point before Feb. 28, 2007.

As tempting as this offer is, we most probably would let it pass. We have 230 points at Saratoga Springs, and considering that we have points always carried over from previous year, we have close to 300 at the beginning of our anniversary year. That is more than enough for several stays already, so we don't see any need to add more. I am looking forward to the DVC villas opening at Animal Kingdom Lodge, though. I've always wanted to stay there. So when the DVC villas open, I'll have my chance. However, I expect that for the first year or so while they're still building the rest of the resort, demand for rooms there will be outrageous.
