I’m curious, how much in US$ did you spend total on initial buy in into DVC?

Visiting Aulani for the first time. DK ages are (7,5, and 3). Likely only staying at Aulani as the kids are young and planning on visiting again. What is a good # of days to stay if doing a hotel only trip? Traveling from the Midwest of the Country & breaking up the trip with a quick 1-day...

Why did you purchase DVC over another timeshare company like marriott, Hilton, Wyndham. It looks like you can pay 5k for a week of points at Hilton grand vacation club unlike spending $20k+ for a DVC contract. I just purchased direct at Grand Villas and everyone I talk to thinks I’m insane to...

I’m having second thoughts if I made the right decision. My guide sold me 160 grand Cali direct points at $310 a point. I know resale is lower but it would lock you out of staying at Disneyland villas hotel. I calculated it cost me about 14k more than going resale route and also gave me the blue...

My family and I are unable to make it to Disney this year (we have been DVC members since 2006!). I have 83 Saratoga Springs (SSR) points for RENT at any resort (October UY). $15 pp. Points are for rent only, not for transfer. To check availability and the number of points required for your...

Hi everyone, new here, I'm doing a lot of research on purchasing DVC for my family, and I am trying to understand how many points we need. So, for example, I'm looking Anaimal Kingdom Lodge, a 1 bedroom villa Savannah view, for January 13-16 2025 it's 31 points a night. If I checked in on...

We have 57 Old Key West points for rent at $16 per point. The reservation must be completed before August 31, 2024. Reservations may be booked at any DVC resort at this time. We will need the following information in order to make the reservation: Preferred resort and room type Check in date...

I'm sending a friend to WDW for days on my points (her mother just passed after a long Illness). She wants me to add DDP, which she will pay for. Can I still add it on the phone with member services, and she can pay & activate it when she arrives? Been years since I dealt with DDP-i seem to...

Hello everyone! We’re planning a big family trip next May (2025) and are looking for three studios for two weeks. We are looking to rent points for two rooms at 11 months (any tips?) and then use our CCV points to book the third studio, 7 months out. My question is, how likely are we to find a...

Hi everyone! I am staying at Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge from Dec 31-Jan 5th, 2025. I have 85 DVC points that will expire that May, and I'd like to use them to extend that trip. My options are shown below. I could stay at the Grand Flo in a studio, but I've heard it's super hard to...

Hi everyone, I just joined the waitlist for a Saratoga Springs Deluxe Studio for mid May (in a month) how likely do you think I am to get it? Thank you:)

I'm curious to see how other people tend to handle this, as I myself am very nervous to tell anyone about the resale contract we are in the process of purchasing (in the middle of ROFR). I'm fearful for judgement we'll receive for spending this kind of money on DVC and being labeled Disney...

Making a best guess based on past due increases and inflation, has anyone ever created spreadsheets with estimated future years dues for each resort? I made one for Boardwalk with 3.1% increase each year based on the data I found that said the average increase was 3.1, but not sure if that's...

Poly Polls are fun. It’s April 2024 and DVC has still not 100% confirmed that the new Poly Tower will be same association as PVB. Sure the writing is on the wall, but what is holding DVC back from sharing this information? Please take your best guess(es).

Hi all, Reading lots on here about the new DVC poly tower and I'm intrigued over what everyone's thoughts are on whether it will have restrictions or not? 1) Appreciate RIV has restrictions as a new resort. 2) Cabins at fort wilderness have restrictions as an addition to an existing resort...

While Disney does allow dogs at some resorts, the options are very limited. I would be willing to convert my points to stay at a moderate resort - I think Riverside allows dogs. Is this an option for DVC members - even if it's a *gasp* resale contract?

Hi everyone! We are super looking forward to our trip in June! This is our family's first time staying in a 1BR at Saratoga Springs. I was just wondering how comfortable the 5th sleeper under the TV is? I'm only 5ft so I very much doubt my height will be a problem, but my little (but much...

We welcomed back a familiar face and DISboards DVC friend on this week's episode of The DVC Show! DVC Show: Disney Vacation Club News Update January 2024 📰 In this episode, the team discusses the latest DVC NEWS for January 2024! The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness, Implications of the DVC...

How often is it that a last minute weekend availability pops up? I am really wanting to fly down for Festival of the Arts (and to get the passholder magnet :cool1:) from Feb. 9-11 but there is not a single DVC room available (not overly surprised). Besides continuous stalking of the site, what...

We’re planning an extended family group vacation for January 2025. My mother in law will be renting points for a room for her, and we will be booking a room for my family and my brother in laws family. We’re looking at booking a two bedroom. 4 adults (2 sets of parents) and 3 toddlers/infants...
