And what was your experience?

The Marriott model currently is the similar to Disney. You buy points, you book any resort up to 12 months in advance and pay the required amount of points. If you are a Premier Member (6,500 pts. or higher) you can book 13 months in advance and you can book any Ritz Carlton hotel. You can also...

Silly comment. I am sure there are some things you don't know about DVC. :confused3

Wrong. Unlike Disney, Marriott does not have a home resort. They are always building new properties and selling off old ones to keep the dues reasonable. If you have a home resort like DVC, you are saddled with the maintaince and dues on that resort and your are correct, after 50 years its a dump.

FYI... We love DVC! Own in 3 resorts! I AM NOT KNOCKING DVC!!!!!! Just pointing out some differences between DVC and Marriott. I think the lifetime ownership is important. I also think never losing points by having the conversion to MR points is important. If you don't, thats fine but please...

Sorry you think the member fees are (or will be) outrageous. Perhaps you should sell now if you are unhappy with the fees. There are several good resale brokers around Orlando. Either way if you are 61 and will not saddle your son with the outrageous fees, you will be selling and you will learn...

I would form a committee to explore the benefits vs. the detriments of such an activity. I would waste countless hours debating the issue and finally come to the conclusion that we might be better served to simply ask... is the activity in question hurting me or affecting my enjoyment of the...

Lets hope they get the yearly fees correct on this one!

I don't understand how this applies to a forever deed vs. a 50 year deed. Let me try to clarify my point. When a 50 year Disney deed is in year 45, it has very little value. The person who buys it has only 5 years of vacations. A forever deed does not have this declining value component. The...

I would not buy resale points. I would buy from Marriott. And yes, just like DVC, perks can change. Its the risk with all time shares. As far as forever being a burden, that makes no sense to me. Most of us will either sell our Disney points when we are done or give to the children. The...

We are owners at BLT, AKV and Aulani. Went to see the Marriott next door just for fun during our Aulani visit this week. Aulani is 100% better however we did learn with Marriott Vacation Club there is no 50 year ownership. It is forever! Also you can roll you points for one year like Disney but...

Resort is a 10. Pool is a 10. Beach is a 10. Ama Ama restaurant is an 8. Only a couple of disappointments. DVC charges $5 for a tiny bottle of shampoo refill. I wouldn't pay it and it is a giant embarrassment to DVC that I walked next door to the JW Marriott and asked a maid for some shampoo...
