Appreciating the DVC

[vacationman]

Today I have come to appreciate DVC all over again. We decided to spend a few days over at Universal this Christmas so I just reserved a plain (and probably small) room with 2 queen beds at the soon to open Royal Pacific Resort and it is going to cost $199 per night PLUS taxes, etc. (end up around $228 per night).

Before and after going there, we will be at BWV in a nice, large one bedroom with kitchen and everything else for a measly 32 points per night (premier season). Even with the $10 per point yardstick, that would only be $320 (no taxes, etc.) per night for so much more!

Moreover, the more directly comparable studio room at BWV would only be 16 (standard view) or 19 (preferred view) points and those rooms have a mini-kitchen.

Love DVC!!!

I sure do agree with you!!

It was a great investment for our family. We bought our resale 2 years ago at OKW and bought add on points at BCV. We just made reservations for a 2BR in Aug 02 and Jan 03 already.

What a great way to spend a family vacation with plenty of space for all of us. I just wish we had invested earlier, instead of staying in the smaller rooms on site (which is pretty pricey) with the 5 of us and 1 bathroom. Now 2 BR and 2 Baths makes our vacation even more pleasurable. Stayed at Hard Rock Hotel (which was nice, but small) in Oct 01 for 2 ngts. and was so happy to check into OKW for the rest of the week and ALL THAT SPACE!! I surely appreciate my DVC membership.
