DVC Analysis

Hi All,

I just saw this on Mouseplanet. I have not read it all yet but it looked good and certainly something that is often discussed here.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this. It is very interesting.

Thanks Skwak! More food for thought!

**Dopey** · 03-06-2007

swak, thank you for posting this! I have been toying with the idea of DVC, but this just puts it all into perspective and for us, that is not the right thing. I could never get my guys to go every year or even every two years. I know, I could sell the points, blablabla, but it just drove it home for me that I am going to always be a Hotel guest.

Skwak, this is an excellent article and very accurate with its math. I found it very informative and reassuring with my own calculations.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks for the info! Like Dopey, it reinforced that DVC is not right for us. We just bought a camper, so it looks like that will be my lodging for a while!

That is very interesting...

Now I just need to do a Jedi Mind Trick on my DW!

These are the DVC points we are looking for! {waving hand around}

Very good points... I feel very financially blessed, but I still just cannot quite commit to DVC... yet...

Dream yes....I don't even know where I would start to spend that kind of money, but it would be sure fun to try. I would most definately buy DVC...many points at AKL. Thats the only way it would happen for me..lol
