We agree. It is not a bad financial decision but certainly a better one made with your heart. We have never regretted the move.

I can tell you what we thought when we bought in. We like the rooms, the size, the transporatation to/from the parks, and the Disney service. If you look at what a hotel will cost you five years from now you will see that prices as we know will only climb and that does not include transportation to/from parks. Also, you can transfer out and the rooms at the other hotels are relatively just as expensive and I am confident that as the years pass they will become more expensive as well. I feel like I have locked in a price and I am good with that.

I too agree that it is a decision made with the heart as well. I see it as I don't smoke, don't gamble, don't drink, this is really my one bid splurge that I have done tuely for me! I deserve it!

Thanks Skwak,

Interesting and reassuring article.

Thanks Skwak!

The article raises a point that is relevant to us and that is due to the length of our stay 21- 28 nights the amount of points we would need to cover that would be astronomical, the 160 base points would no where near cover that-plus we have to take into consideration the soaring long haul fuel charges too-in fact we would be better off considering buying a permanent property in the Orlando area making good use of the strong pound that we can use all year round.

This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing! I'm contemplating talking to a DVC sales person on our next trip since we're a new, growing family and intend to spend lots of family vacations in Disney. I have lots of basic questions. I just don't fully understand how this works so I'm interested in finding out!

If you're interested in contacting DVC before you go there's a whole thread for referrals in the DVC forum. Many of us have guides we love and are happy to share them if you're interested. They will mail you the DVC DVD, a nice hard cover book, and all the information. You may get some of your questions answered before you go.

I love to talk about DVC so feel free to PM me or post a thread with your questions.
