Shell - I have to ask. I thought you were not all that enamored with WDW when you went in the spring. Why would you buy DVC? Don't buy it for the cruises - using points for the cruises isn't a great deal.

She's just looking for a tax write-off....

I was thinking the same thing...have we finally converted you

Ya know you can't use the points in Universal Studios...

That's correct, but I was looking at all the other vacations besides WDW that you can get like the World Passport Collection, Concierge Collection, Adventurer Collection, and Disney Collection for DCL. http://www.dvcbyresale.com/page.php?pageid=whatisdvc

Not a good idea?

Hi Wendy
Hi Shell

 

[Auntmeme]

Wow chatty bunch of nanas today

Thanks for the updated anniversary list - so interesting. I'd love to see a list of everyone's occupation.

For parties - just fly me in and I'll be your planner for the weekend

Bob - I'd love to hear about your upcoming trip to Russia.

Christine how many pairs are you taking this year? I tried not to take so many last year but now I may be need to change my thinking.

Jeff - we stayed on board one day in port and loved that the ship was not crowded. The kids pool was awesome - never closed that afternoon due to you know Larry had a massage.

Nite all

Not a good idea?

From everything I have read - and all the research I did before we bought - No, not a good idea. We haven't tried to trade into anything other than DVC. And even with DVC, we have been frustrated in that we tend to not plan far enough ahead to do well with our points...though this year we did by deciding we were going to BCV after Christmas and booking it the day we were allowed to - as soon as the 11 month window opened.

You should NEVER use it for the WDW resorts. Just not a good deal when you work it out. And the cruise? We used a few points to pay for Elizabeth and Emily one year but that was only because we screwed up and forgot to bank our points and would have lost them had we not used them right then and there.

I think there are a lot of opinions out there about this but to me, if you aren't planning to use them mostly for DVC resorts, I probably wouldn't do it. You may be better off buying Marriott - but Greg could advise you on that!
