Any disadvantage to buying HH?

[Simba's Mom]

I'm reminded of a family we met at HHI a few years ago who'd bought at HHI, with the original intent to "just get into the system", but hoping to stay at BWV. Well, they stayed at HHI one time and decided that that they LOVED it there, and the thought of staying at BWV kind of went by the wayside. So if you ask them, the biggest "disadvantage" of buying HHI is that you may want to make fewer trips to WDW because you've found a new vacation love. That's what happened to them.

There have been many good reasons suggested to buy or not buy. I would not let the comments that DVC might restrict you to only staying there be a major concern.

I don't see that happening. With Aulani, I feel DVC is on its way to more properties away from the parks.

I would probably be more concerned about additional restrictions to direct versus resale.

And I would definitely look at the years left on the contract depending on your age.

I can say I love my HHI point because I have no desire to retire at Disney World but I could live at HHI forever.

We also tried split stays between Palmetto Dunes and Disney. Tried St. Andrew, comparable to Queens Grant in quality and location and we were disappointed. Less than Disney. Yes. But so went the quality and atmosphere. If you rent closer to the ocean at Palmetto then I think you have a truer comparison.
