dvc

Hi all! Just joined the DIS Boards. Hope you're having a good time today! ( please be nice to me:duck:). I'm closing on a DVC membership and will soon be a new member. I'm hoping to book a one-bedroom once I get my points loaded in for a week in the Fall. Due to limited availability, it's...

As I’m reading more and more post I’m curious of how others look at their DVC I had a son a bit older in age (after almost ten years of trying) and wanted to be able to spend a lot of time in Disney as he grows up. After researching some, and crunching numbers I bought contracts with plans...

I have $30k and would like to keep my annual dues around $2k. What’s your strategy? Where would YOU buy right now? Combination of resale AND direct? I love hearing what all of you experienced owners would do. TIA

I am considering booking a stay at a DVC resort in January 2023 by renting points from "DVC Rental Store". I have heard that DVC point rental sites such as these currently have very few DVC owners who have listed their points, resulting in long waitlists or queues for bookings. I contacted...

Tell me about your experiences! What are the best resorts for babies/toddlers 1-3 years old. We are DVC, so you don’t need to tell me that is “too young.” We know they won’t remember it yet, but we have the points so we might as well use them! This would be for a family of 3! I would love to...

Question for the group: are DVC total point allocations exclusive only to one resort? i.e. Will Saratoga Springs only ever have the same amount of points at that resort unless new rooms are built? I know the amount of points in existence doesn't increase or decrease unless new rooms are...

We're looking to travel as a family/group of 9 (6 adults, 2 toddlers, 1 infant) in May '23. After a lot of research we are really set on securing a Grand Villa so we can all stay together yet each set of adults would have their own bedroom. We have our hearts set on the MK area (GF...

My favorite DVC resorts are CCV, AKL, VGF, and BCV. When I purchased CCV it was a good choice as AKL options are usually open at 7 months. BCV was not attractive as a buyer because of the shorter length of the contract. The VGF price points were not where I wanted to be with my first direct...

I’m totally new to DVC. I’ve done some research. But still feel like I hardly know anything! I’m thinking of purchasing a resale DVC contract. But I have so many questions and I wanted the opinions/experiences/advice from actual DVC members instead of a salesperson. Little background (so you can...

So my parents are the owners of our DVC membership for over 15 years now. Sadly they do not go to the parks and my sister and I have been the only ones to use our membership as beneficiaries on the account. I have been looking into both my sister and I being added onto the deed and realized...

11 months ago, I got up and booked at 5am my 50th B-Day room a 3 Bedroom Suite at the California Grand. Yay! Happy 50th B-day to me!!!! There are ONLY 2- three bedroom suites. If you know anything about the Grand Ca, you know that getting these rooms even when you are a direct owner is VERY...

I’m a frequent traveler to Disney World. My next trip will be new to me in several ways, and I’d really appreciate some advice from those with experience in MDE and Genie +. I’d also love to hear strategies for managing a party as the adult with 4 teenagers who want a bit of appropriate...

Hi all, I know this has probably been asked before but we live in the UK and are planning to pay our Annual Dues. In our PayPal account, we have a certain amount in dollars. I’m aware that if you want to withdraw this into pounds, you have to pay a fee. I’ve seen that you can pay your annual...

Hey all, My husband and I finally pulled the trigger on 200 points today. It is our first DVC contract. We are very well versed in WDW and AP, but clueless on the ins and outs of DVC. We did do a lot of research but I feel like there are always “hacks” that owners know that Disney will never...

Hey everyone.... WE ARE GOING TO HAWAII (and Disneyland again)! A little background: My family have been members since 1999. We own at BWV, HH and since this past summer SSR. My husband and I will be married 27 years come March 18th!! Holy moly, that is a long time and we are in our youthful...

It’s been like this for over 2 YEARS. You bought resale and you want to borrow points to secure that room that you’ve been stalking for months? TOO BAD! You need to call member services and hold for 1 hour so that the agent can tell you “so sorry it’s been taken already”. Frejdjdnfnrrhehdhfn!!

Note: this is something I'm just thinking about but had some questions. If we sold our resale contract that we've financed, does the financing company just get paid off the amount we still owe and the rest goes in our pocket? I understand there are some other considerations like commission and...

Good morning all, I wanted to see if anyone had some answers for me regarding refillable mugs. I'm sure this is probably obvious with the dining plan going away, but is there still a means of getting refillable mugs included with resort stay or do we have to purchase them separately. For...
