After many many talks and planning DH and I are almost ready to purchase our first DVC points through resale-
We went over the basic do's and donts...
1)only buy if you can pay for points in cash- check
2) only buy if you plan on visiting Disney each year or every other year for the next forever- check
3) purchase your points at the resort you would love to stay at- check
4) take into consideration maintenance fees- check
What else should we be worried about?
We have gone to Disney three times in past four years and plan on going again in 2015- though the more and more we talked about it we think now is the time to buy into DVC. We have been very lucky to experience DVC for the past two trips thanks to an Aunt that has kindly let us use her millions of points to stay at OKW in a 2 bedroom villa for ten days both trips and we fell in love.
We are considering buying at AKV- and know the rooms aren't as roomy as OKW. Also will only be getting around 100-125 points so we know unless we bank/borrow we wont be staying in a two bedroom again any time soon.
Im still a bit confused as to use year month we want and don't want- we plan on going mostly in October, May, December- and want to avoid summer and spring break time- for the next several years- as the kids get older and can no longer miss as much school this can change.
THANK YOU!!!
