Good Morning All
So I have been contemplating buying into DVC for about the past year. I recently went on a cruise and went to the presentation (first one). And I know, in these, they will only give you the great point, none of the down. So I am hoping that those of you who have boughten into DVC could enlighten me, on both positive and negative.
I have read a lot of posts here, breaking down the points value and how it may cost wise be worth it depending on the type of Disney vacation you take. What I haven't seen anything of, is the cost effectiveness IF you take a non Disney vacation. One place that I have wanted to go, Aruba. They have places to go there. And I know how overly expensive it is to travel there, as well, as a single person.
The other thing I'm having a hard time processing, is that it may not be cost effective in the end. With Disney vacations. But I'm trying to figure that out. If I buy in, I'm only 30. If I used this for 30 years, how could it NOT save me money in the end. I know I can get rooms on discount, or the dining plan. BUT, if I'm not having to even pay for the room, just the transportation, tickets and food, how would it still not save money??
I am hoping that some of you can enlighten me to my questions
