Anyone else surprised by how few DVC owners are on this board?

Still under 700 on the running count poll? Seems kind of small to me out of 100,000.

I suspect there are a great many people who don't like to participate in such threads.

Well, I haven't posted because I just recently became a member of the boardsl. Also, I have had AOL until recently and regularly read that DVC board. But I'm enjoying getting used to this one!

In the news release about Jim Lewis's promotion, "Under Jim's leadership, Disney Vacation Club achieved significant growth, bringing total membership to nearly 300,000 individuals in 100 countries,"

So is the DVC membership 300,000 or 100,000?

From what I read the 300,000 was members not contracts. My wife and I would be two members but one contract. does that make us four members if we have two contracts. At first it all sounded so simple! Anyone have any idea how many actual people there are?

I do have one question that I have wondered about for quite awhile re. the number of DVC families.... If you own at 2 resorts like myself at OKW as well as VB, then am I considered just one of those 100,000 families or do I count as 2 ? If I count as 2 then what is the real number of active DVC members. Just a question, wondered if anyone knows?

I agree, good question anyone know?

I know that I found this discussion board by accident. My husband says I am addicted, but I have learned a lot from reading the posts. I was actually surprised that there were so many DVC members considering I never heard anyone talk about it or see it advertised. I love it though.

Now I am totally confused.

Even if every lurker and board visitor logged onto that thread, it would still be a comparatively small number.

You have to remember...we're the exception, not the norm. Most DVC owners use their ownership every year and happily rely on MS to help them with any questions. They probably don't care about rumors, or point transfers, or refillable mugs or other things that we find entertaining to discuss.

In the scheme of things, I think it's impressive that this board can attract about 1% of the total DVC ownership. That's a lot considering the total size of ownership out there.

If they knew that they were refillable for life. It would be a different story.
