Hi everyone -
First let me say that I am COMPLETELY clueless about timeshares/DVC! I read thru the FAQ's and still don't get it. Can you guys help me clarify a few things I'm almost embarrassed to ask this!
My mother said she was *thinking* it'd be nice for us to get a timeshare at Disney. We hope to be able to go once (maybe twice) a year 5 days minimum stay, 10 day maximum stay. It'd always be DH & myself plus DS6 and DS1. My mom would occasionally join us too.
I understand buying the points but I don't understand how it works out to be a good deal. If we went for 10 days in May and got a 2 bedroom it would cost us about $30,000. Is that right??? And then if we want to go again the following year do we pay anything else or would that just be if we needed extra points?
Are the points you buy initially replenished each year?
For $30,000 I could go to WDW about 20 times based on a regular hotel room without entering a DVC. How long does your membership last???
I'm sure these are dumb questions and perhaps I'm just a bit brain dead tonight
Thansk a bunch for any help!
