DIS DVC 1000 Point Club (post #1 updated 02/10/2023)

I just love this thread!

I am no where near close to even joining this group (currently at 360) but I am always dreaming of my next contract and what I might do with more points! I figure we might as well start slow and maybe by the time we retire, we will have enough points to spend a few months at Disney! Anyhow, what is the MAXIMUM number of points you can own?

I've read its 2000 at 1 resort with a total of 5000

But you can double that total if there are contracts under just you and your spouse or your corporation.

You may be able to triple that with a spouse (you, spouse, joint)

Hi. I"m kinda new to Disboards.

I'm at 1350 but (hopefully) I'll soon be at 1400.

At 710 points we have a ways to go, but we're working on it.
We want enough points to spent several weeks in a 1-bedroom as part of our retirement plan. 3 weeks in October (food and wine), and 3 weeks in in Jan. or Feb. to avoid our coldest time here.

What a fabulous idea!!! Never gave that a thought.

What a fabulous idea!!! Never gave that a thought.

We researched buying a second home, but first we like staying on site, and then when you think about hiring a company to manage your home during the time you're not there (with all the maintenance) we decided more DVC points really made more sense (at least for us).

Thought I was going to get join this club as I was at 910 points and had a contract for 230 points at Disney for ROFR and wouldn't you know it, Disney bought the contract.


Maybe I'll have better luck with the 270 point contract I have going in this week.

Congrats to all you 1kers!

One question for the club.. how do you use all those points?
do you USE them all YOURSELF or use some, rent some, give some to family??

I can't let DH know about all of these lucky folks adding on and joining the over 1,000 pts club. I tell him it's not a competition but he feels bad if we drop down the list!
BTW we use all our pts on twice a year trips for us and every other take our kids and grandkids. Nothing left over to rent.

We're DGP and we use all of our points for ourselves, extended family and friends!

This past winter I was in DVC accomodations for 29 consecutive days with lots of different family and friends, in studios, 1 and 2 bedrooms and in an OVIR in VB! THis next winter it will be for a shorter time (I dearly missed my dog, Belle) but the same idea. Plus this January, I'll be on the MC!in the middle of my DVC stay!

We use most of our points by going to Disney four times a year and staying in 1 or 2br villas. We will be spending three weeks there in June/July.

I gave a stay to a teacher friend for five nights in a savanah view studio at Jambo.

Just did some quick math because I was interested.

Total amount of points on the first page = 116302 pts.

Current avg. of dues excluding Aulani = 4.90 (btw, Jim C. did this in 2007 and the average was 4.70)

Annual dues from first page = $569,880 (which if you think about is a tiny little fraction of how much DVC brings in yearly)
