Comparing Deluxe Resorts to DVC Property

[disbound09]

I can't disagree with anything said. Timeshare are a COMPROMISE. spend several months investigating so you know exactly what you're getting in to.

Best Advice before making the leap

I would add to rent points at the resort you are thinking about or a few. Took us 3 years and a couple of visits to buy into DVC ownership

Magic missing? Nope, not IMO. The way I've been treated by CM's has been the same no matter if staying at the Deluxe or the Villas.

This has been our experience as well.

You have less housekeeping but that isn't much of a factor for me. And when I've been on the hotel side I do miss the kitchen or kitchenette more than I miss housekeeping. Having laundry in the room puts it over the top for better on the villas side.

Again, same here. We are not park commandos so we really enjoy the extra space in the DVC 1BRs with the full kitchen, washer/dryer and the jacuzzi tub. With all the walking we do at WDW, a nice relaxing soak at the end of the day is a real treat.

For a few years we ignored DVC because I thought the last thing I would want on vacation is a kitchen/kitchenette in our room. Now we enjoy having breakfast in the room and even dinner once or twice during our stay. We can pack lighter too because I can throw in a load of laundry as needed during our stay.

ETA: When we stay in a studio, we like having a sofa in the room. It's more comfortable than sitting on the bed and the additional open floor space makes the room feel larger.
