Anyways, when we purchased our DVC we did the math and after 4 vacations it pays for itself. Even if you stay in a studio at a dvc resort, the amount of times you have gone or plan to go, it would have taken care of your trips already. I am sure you had your reasons for selling your other contracts but if you plan on going as often as you say, why wouldn't you just keep the one contract? Making a monthly payment towards DVC is just like saving for a vaction for me. I guess it is all in the way in which you choose to convince yourself to think about it!!!

PS. I get the taking advantage of free dining stuff, but year to year we never know if it will happen or not, but owning a DVC, year to year you always know you can take a vacation be it to Disney or somewhere else, there is one to be taken.

Anyways, sorry to continue the threadjack!

Please don't confuse her [or us] any more.

I thought Tink24 was a happy DVC member, then she wasn't a DVC member anymore, now she IS a DVC member again even though she was all along & only sold two of the 3 contracts, then she'd rather save money & didn't care if she stayed at values, wasn't going to go to Disney as much because two family members don't like it, but is now going 3 times in the next year, doesn't want to pay $3600 on DVC payments a year but is keeping one DVC contract just in case someone wants to go to HH even though it can be paid OOP & wants to still get a $100 off discount on annual passes...

I don't know. I apologize Tink24 but I, for one, have absolutely no clue what is heads or tails with you sometimes.

I understand you come to us because your DH dislikes Disney & you need to vent. I like helping you whenever I can but sometimes it's just frustrating or confusing because I feel like whatever we talk about one day it's the opposite the next.
