Disney Vacation Club
Anybody have ownership in DVC? From what I hear, it's worth it. I am saving up to make an investment after college and I feel that this is the way to go... any advice?

And all the harm that I ever did, Alas it was to none but me.
And since it falls, unto my lot, that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, 'Goodnight and Joy be with you all.'"

I own in the DVC... it's fabulous! Highly recommend the investment, especially if you travel often. And what's great is you can trade your points to go all over the world really. You don't have to stick to just Disney, but I always do. Definitely worth it!!! I'm actually heading down there in 24 hours! WOO HOO!!

so what's it actually run? The website provided seems a little vague.....They say some people start with 220-260 points, but 1 week long vacation can run towards 200 points. Well if it costs you 3 thousand a year or so.....habourgirl wrote:I own in the DVC... it's fabulous! Highly recommend the investment, especially if you travel often.

When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.

Re: Disney Vacation Club
I never thought why people hated them so much. If they're giving you free tickets to Universal or something like that, then just go and take a few hours out of your vacation and just say no and take your free stuff. Beats getting up waaay too early to get there before it opens to buy tickets so that you can get in early to hit the good rides before it gets crowded.12vmanRick wrote:I have NEVER found a timeshare worth the money and Nicole and I go to those presentations quite often (you know for the free stuff)springparrot wrote:Isn't it a time share?pirateat30 wrote:http://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/guest/abou ... outDVCPageIrishG wrote:Mind sharing a little info on what that entails?prrthd1987 wrote:Anybody have ownership in DVC?

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
