Booked Aulani
Just booked two weeks in January for our vacation. Studio ocean view and the room would have cost $8000 if we paid the rack rate. Considering we paid $12500 for our club points I am so happy.
This makes our vacation club pay for itself in 3 years!!!! So happy.
Now we have to afford food!

Congrats on the booking!
The Alaskan cruise we did last year would've cost us about that much, so I know that feeling that the DVC is good value only too well!
