This is my first post. My wife and I just returned from a week in Disney where we stayed on the monorail (Polynesian) for the first time and we took the DVC tour of the Bay Lake Tower.
The DVC intrigues us because we plan on going to Disney at least every two years for the rest of our lives ( we are in our 30s ) and want to stay at the Deluxe resorts or the Boardwalk/Beach Club area.
We don't intend to purchase until we can pay a least 50% up front, which may take a while, but we are interest-averse.
We also enjoy traveling in general but I'm not sure wed want to use DVC properties everywhere we go because I feel you can find more cost efficient lodging elsewhere, especially in Europe.
But I'm agonizing over whether its worth it at all. The rep we met with made it seem like we could ONLY buy at the Animal Kingdom or Bay Lake Tower because nothing else was available. But reading these boards makes it seem like you can buy anywhere. Is that true? Does the price change depending on when you purchase as your home base? We would rarely plan seven months in advance so the exclusivity benefit doesn't really benefit us.
If I'm using my points ONLY to stay at Disney, should I look into a resale?
