Attended a DVC presentation tour

On our recent visit (8/14-8/30), we strived to do things we had never done before. One thing that we did for the first time was attend a DVC presentation. We have no intention of buying DVC as it is way, way too expensive, but I was willing to give them an hour of my time to learn more about it. Besides, they were going to give us each a $15 Disney gift card ($45 total for the 3 of us) and free ice cream. Sounded good to us.

We did the tour at Saratoga Springs. It was totally relaxed, no pressure, no hard sales tactics, etc. Just the facts, gave us the tour, explained how the system works and answered any questions we had. It was actually very enjoyable. I know a lot of people who are DVC owners but this really gave me more info about how everything really works.

If you find yourself with an hour or two to kill, consider doing this. You'll get something worthwhile in return plus you get to see some nice rooms.

We went 4 years ago to get the fastpasses and free ice cream and picture and we ended up DVC members and love it. We have attended timeshare things in the past and they were very high pressure and you needed to buy immed. Disney said we don't expect you to right now and the deal they had was good for a week after we got home. That was great because we meet a couple on an illumination cruise we shared that were DVC member and we used them as a referrral and we got $10 off per point and they got something. Anyway, it is a nice tour.
