I am a newby to the board and thought I would make this my first post.
I am interested in purchasing at the Grand at DW. I spoke with the rep and he tells me the cost is $150 per point and maintenance fees are around $1,700 annually. I usually go to DW at least once a year and purchase two rooms at the GF. It seems to me if I plunk down $60,000 (400 points) I can get a nice villa or better during the times that I want to go down and my payback would be +/-9 years. Understanding that I would be on the hook for the maintenance fee for the life of the contract, if I am a regular to DW, I don't see the downside to doing this. I confirmed the Deluxe Dining package is available for purchase for everyone in my family (2 adults and 3 children), I would be staying on the same property as I would if I stayed at the Grand Floridian (my usual cost for my stay is $8,000 for the rooms only), and the rooms in the new vacation club building are larger and newer.
What am I missing and what should I consider before doing this?
As my title states - those that have purchased, are there any regrets or things you would/would not do?
Thanks!!
