I was recently on the Disney Wonder, sitting on the edge of the pool while my daughter swam. A mom, sitting next to me appeared anxious, wanting to chat. We engaged in cruise conversation - the sun, warmth, things to do, shows, dinner, and then she asked the BIG question. "Do you know anything about this Disney Vacation Club?"
I replied that I owned at OKW and had been an owner since 2009. She then started sharing and asking questions. She had just agreed to spend $40,000 on a Disney-direct Grand Floridian contract - and had NO idea what she bought. She said she did it because she could return that day and cancel it - but the deal - a year of points was only available in the session. Honestly, she really didn't know what points were. She was nervous, curious, and surprised to learn of a resale market, lower prices, and options.
I suggested she go cancel that purchase and return home, read about DVC, and do a lot of research. I still wonder to this day how it worked out for her.
