Buying more points to use for DCL?

I honestly considered this recently…while on the Disney dream.

But then realized that in the end, having more DVC wasn’t necessary!

I would like to motion for a vote of no confidence

But seriously if the plan is to start taking more cruises then I'd just keep your funds as cash and skip the whole renting out part

Hahah! Just my newest retirement career providing me with more opportunities for travel, including DCL!!

Plus, had I bought the point, it wouldn’t have been trade via DVC directly. I prefer the ease vs the price per point they are giving me!

Why I’ll be using points every year now for my AP!

If they offered something like DVC but for an annual cruise program, I'd be soo tempted.

While I agree I’d be tempted, I think the annual maintenance would be enough to dissuade me.

It also is one of those things that they claim is acceptable under IRS rules so you don't have to claim the rental income on your taxes

This gets brought up but this is likely a false statement from everything I have read. Now regarding to if the IRS will even know that is up to you.
