Poll: What would you rather win from YOMD? [Archive] - The DIS Discussion Forums

Don't know if I have 50 years left, but I'd want to spend however many of them I have going to Disney every year!
Once you hit the half century mark, living another 50 years doesn't seem like a good idea. Too many things are already wearing out.
But I'm sure Disney wouldn't mind a truncated ownership.
Last month, a 79 year old woman won a Virginia Lottery $1000 a Week for Life lottery game. Wonder how long she will be collecting? Bet the Commonwealth of Virginia is happy that an 18 year old didn't win it.;)

50 years of DVC! The castle stay would be lovely but going to Disney for the next 50 years would be the most magical for me.

As cool as the one night in the castle would be, I would rather be able to come back to WDW way more or basically whenever I wanted.

We have DVC membership but will take more just more trips to go on.:thumbsup2

Think of all those trips!

I can buy a DVC membership but can't buy a night in the castle suite, so I would take the night in the castle.

I'll take the DVC and maybe I'll win the Castle on one of those trips:rotfl:

50 years of Disney trips!

Well we already have DVC, so...the castle.

If we won 50 years of DVC, would they give us all our money back? :p

My husband mentioned while we were watching a Disney video how much he would like to stay in the castle. I am sure that it is the chance of a lifetime. However, getting to go anywhere on vacation felt like the chance of a lifetime to me so I voted for the DVC membership to get what would have to be the chance of many lifetimes.

Even though a night in the castle would be amazing, I voted for 50 yrs of DVC. I would love to buy into DVC. Until we can pay cash for it, it's not an option. With 50 yrs of DVC, I could go at many different times a year. Maybe even take a "mommy and me" trip with my DS's one at a time, and still be able to do a family trip.

the 50 years for me as well. :wizard:

Wow thats tough! But I voted for the 50 year dvc. :)

sentner

12-13-2007, 05:10 PM

I would have to say a night in the suite. I can get trips through DVC. Plus its the daughter's dream to stay in the castle and I'd love, love, love to be able to grant her wish. :wizard:

I would actually like the trip to all of the Disney theme parks. Ever since I was a child I have wanted to go to every Disney park. My secons choice though would be the DVC. We will probably break down and buy one eventually, but we too want to pay cash for it.

A trip to all the Disney parks was not one of the options, but I sure like the way you think. It would be fascinating to see how the parks outside the U.S. view Disney.

stitchlover

12-19-2007, 08:32 PM

I voted for DVC. The castle would be nice but it's one night and then it's gone. DVC means I can continue to experience DVC for years to come!

bangzoom6877

12-19-2007, 09:07 PM

DVC hands down!!! Although I would love a night in the castle suite, 50 years of magical vacations Disney-style sounds like a true dream come true! Plus my kids are very little (one son about to turn 3 the other son will be 1 in May), so plenty of time to make Disney vacation memories!

Cinderella's castle, I love you, but I would rather have the opportunity to visit you more often with a DVC membership! ;)

Ooops. I guess I didn't read the question well enough. :) Given the choices I would choose the DVC. The castle is nice, but I want to be able to "relive the magic" every year.

pepperw23

12-26-2007, 07:25 PM

Okay, I am putting on my head covering for all the stones that will be thrown at me lol, but I would not want to stay in the castle. I don't like it judging by the pics I have seen. It looks so dark in there. I would probably look around and ask if I can pass it on to a well deserving family. Maybe someone with young kids.

Starry

12-27-2007, 06:58 AM

The 50 yrs of vacations of course
My hubby said I was drooling when they were showing that lady
during the Christmas Day Disney parade
She was chosen to win the vacation. Lucky for sure:wizard:

12-30-2007, 12:14 PM

See i would say 50 years, but since we are DVC Members already i would go with the one night just because it is a once in a lifetime priceless experiance

12-31-2007, 03:41 PM

DVC hands down- maybe then I'll get to go often :)

A_NY_Outlaw

12-31-2007, 04:29 PM

I chose the castle stay. I just don't know enough (ok I know NOTHING) about the DVC. Maybe someday someone will 'splain it to me. :confused3

The castle stay would be pretty unforgettable though.

disneycatz

12-31-2007, 05:44 PM

:tinker: Indisputeably,unquestionably, undoubtably and most happily, ecstatically- the DVC membership. That would make my DD's dreams come true and mine as well, to see a deserving kid be so happy!IF ONLY!:wizard:
:love:

Well...one can dream, and so we shall!

Happy New Year to you!

12-31-2007, 05:53 PM

DVC. And then while on one of my monthly trips, win a night at the castle, LOL!!!!

50 YRS of DVC

Nemo32

01-03-2008, 12:35 PM

If you have the 50 years of DVC it'd be quite easy to go back in the year 2008 and then possibly win the night as well. Now that's thinking.

01-03-2008, 03:39 PM

I just bought 50 yrs but I would take another 50!

As much as I would love to stay in the Caste, I'd rather enjoy a Disney trip every year for the next 50 years.

Tink9206

01-05-2008, 01:43 PM

1 Night in the castle would be amazing but 50 years in the parks would be a dream come true.

DisneyGuess

01-05-2008, 02:31 PM

No question at all for me. I'd take 50 years worth of Disney vacations anyday! :goodvibes :goodvibes

02-12-2008, 10:58 AM

Another vote for DVC. While a night in the castle would be great and memorable, 50 years of memories through DVC is memories for a lifetime.

Chellymouse

02-12-2008, 11:54 AM

We already have 50 years of DVC so I'd take the night in the castle

DevilDuckie

02-12-2008, 03:28 PM

I'll take the DVC and maybe I'll win the Castle on one of those trips:rotfl:

You were the kid who wanted to use a wish to vote for more wishes, weren't you? :laughing:

Eeyoresfriend

02-14-2008, 03:17 PM

Definitely DVC

*tinker*bell*

02-15-2008, 07:51 PM

I would deffinatly take the 50 years of DVC I love to travel and that would be amazing for me and especially because my mom can't really afford to go on alot of trips I could take her on more.

JenSop

02-15-2008, 10:40 PM

definitely dvc. we are already members, but it was hard enough just to buy in at the minimum level. I'd love more points to be able to book a grand villa! then i could take my family and friends on many more magical trips than we can now! I'll just have to keep hoping that we're in the right place at the right time when we're there in July!

augusta

02-15-2008, 10:53 PM

This is a hard decision. The practical part of me says DVC, but the romantic side would love a nightin the castle. hmm still deciding.

luvmk1971

02-16-2008, 10:33 AM

As a DVC member I would take a night in the castle. What a magical night it would be.

froggygrrrl

02-16-2008, 08:01 PM

Wow! For me, there is no question: definitely DVC! I think someday we will own DVC, but it sure would be nice to win a membership!

02-16-2008, 08:29 PM

50 years, come on. :thumbsup2

DisneyGirlie

02-16-2008, 09:22 PM

I said the Castle because although it would be expensive, the DVC can be bought.
As far as I know, you can't buy your way into the Castle. It just seems most magical to me.

fireman1

02-17-2008, 11:08 AM

DVC for the win.

KNovacovschi

02-19-2008, 09:11 PM

I would definitely chose 50 years of great time in the World....

KNovacovschi

02-19-2008, 09:16 PM

Just to clarify I chose the 50 years because although the castle would be magical it is not what makes Disney World magical...it's the entire experience of Disney World that makes it magical.

I would pick the 50 yrs. Staying in the castle would be amazing and I would feel like a total princess, but 50 yrs of DVC with my soon to be hubby would be the most magical thing. Wow, I sound so sentimental. :laughing:

Again 50 years....if only...

I take the DVC. Then I 'd storm the castle with the seven dwarfs and stay the night. Maybe the weekend.

Definitely the 50 yrs! Although I would be perfectly happy with the night in the castle!

that's a no-brainer!!!!

04-03-2008, 01:58 PM

NO questions asked I would be doing the crazy woman happy dance if I won 50yrs of Disney Trips. Who cares if I live 50 more years or not, just getting to go every year without forking over the huge cost would be so worth it.
I could so live at Disney. I always say if I win a lottery (of course you have to play to win), but I would use part of the money to go to Disney at least twice a year with my whole family for 2 weeks at a time. Heck I think I would give large amounts to charity with the agreement that I could go to Disney whenever I wanted.

cpdwiz

04-03-2008, 07:09 PM

What would you rather win?

-50 years of DVC or
-1 night in the Cinderella Castle

I would pick the night in the castle. It's more magical.

Winning that was the most amazing thing....The castle would be a great experience (1 shot deal) but our DVC win will last our lifetime, and our kids and grandkids vacations for the next 47 years are set!!

cpdwiz

04-03-2008, 07:13 PM

Honestly I would pick the 1 night stay in the castle. DH and I arent DVC owners (yet ;) ) but eventually with enough convincing to DH we will be. With 1 night in the castle, you cant make any ressies for it plus its one of those once in a lifetime things. With DVC, you can buy, but with the castle stay - you cant put a price on that!

The castle suite will be for rent...Something around $2,000 I had heard, if not more, per night...

Then again, maybe I can use my points that I won to stay in it :cool1:

cpdwiz

04-03-2008, 07:15 PM

You can't Buy the Castle Stay
and I can't afford to Buy the DVC
so I would go for the DVC membership.

I would take anything that is being given away,
there are some really nice trips.

I hope the DVC will be won by someone who truely
can appreciate it and who would never be able
to afford a Membership on their own.

I promise you that...Words cannot express how much joy and appreciation we have at winning this...Something we could have never afforded to purchase until we retired.....

EltonJohn

04-03-2008, 07:16 PM

Night in the castle. While not the practical choice, it's still my dream. :cutie:

04-05-2008, 07:59 PM

I'd take DVC. One night over 350 nights doesn't seem worth it. :goodvibes

DVC in a heart beat....but I'd be happy with a dream fast pass.

You can buy DVC, but you can't buy the castle.

marvali

04-09-2008, 02:03 PM

You can buy DVC, but you can't buy the castle.
As stated by the PP above who WON the DVC membership, after YOAMD it is rumored that the castle stay WILL be for purchase at around $2000/night. I think you win 260 DVC points per year for the next 50 years. At the going rate of $104/point, that is $27K+ to purchase DVC (not to mention the rest of the package which included taxes AND maintenance fees for the full 50 years). At just the price of the points, I could stay 5 nights in the castle (at $2K/night) for $10,000 and still have spent $17K+ LESS than to win the castle and pay for DVC (or about $70K less for the life of the DVC contract if I remember the value of the prize correctly).

And after my five night stay at the castle, I would still have 50 years of deluxe accomodations paid visits to Disney to enjoy, with my kids AND my grandkids.

I'll take the DVC and thank you very much! And congrats to cpdwiz on your great fortune to win!

04-09-2008, 02:46 PM

The castle would be great, but, winning $90K from Disney is a wee/tad bit better :-)

Just think....winning the DVC and going to Disney and getting PICKED for the Castle night....We have our fingers crossed :-)

04-09-2008, 08:35 PM

In this case, I'd want to take the night in the castle (since it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience) but I'd have to choose the DVC. It just makes more sense.

DVC by afar. As cool as the castle would be, I have to go with the ability to more readily visit the parks. It is not easy or chaep for our family to go and after this year I think there may be a drought of a few years before we go back.
