Convince me :)

I'm still not totally convinced to take the jump.

Why DVC would work for us:

We don't stay in anything but Deluxe (hubby hates large crowds).
We travel during off-seasons (my hubby hates large crowds).
We've only been to WDW twice with the kids and suspect that they are not bored of WDW yet.
We would be going at least once ever other year, with the possibility of going once a year.
We like the idea of going to VB and Aulani for a change of pace.
Being able to give our kids some great memories and passing the contract onto them and their families when it is time.
Being able to bring our friends with us who would not ordinarily be able to go to WDW.

What concerns me:
My kids are 10 and 11 this year. I'm worried that they may not want to do WDW as they hit their teens (uncool factor).
I'm basically handing my vacation dollars over to Disney for the next 50 years.
A lack of variety of destinations.
A studio is too small, and a 1 bedroom just right, but I DON'T cook on vacation and feel the kitchen would be a waste.
I do like having mousekeeping come in every day to clean up

Can anyone comment if they have had these concerns and how they may have played out in their decision? Am I worried about things I don't really need to worry about?

thanks!

Given what you tell us, it's very likely DVC will work well for you. We've seen many posts over the years from owners who post that they were deluxe only guests and thought they had to have daily housekeeping but were very happy with DVC. I'd suggest you stay at DVC either on cash or by renting from a member. Or you could buy a smaller contract and look to do part of your trips on points to try it out. We've also seen many post that they didn't take the plunge and regretted. Certainly there are those who have bought and DVC ended up not being right for them.

Torian.... I am wondering what is your feedback from our responses.

If you need to be convinced, don't do it. Read the boards and see what members say.

That is one of the best replies I have ever read here on the boards

Seems like it can work for u.
But ultimately you need to do it without people convincing you it will work.
