Once upon a time (July 2019) at the enchanting Aulani Resort, my family and I embarked on a 10-day Hawaiian adventure, stepping into the world of Disney Vacation Club. With island garden views for $753.98, our one-night stay was filled with the wonder and joy only Disney can offer.
Strolling back from the beach, a door wide open to a DVC villa caught our eye. Intrigued and drawn to the magic of Disney real estate, we explored the villa and were invited to a formal tour.
The charm of Aulani led us to purchase 170 enchanting direct points, but our fairy tale didn't end there! Upon discovering the hidden treasure of the resale market, our master plan took shape. We wisely rescinded the Aulani contract and made a direct purchase of 75 points at the picturesque Disney's Riviera Resort (DRR), a strategic first step into both direct and resale opportunities.
Our DVC journey had only just begun. From our magical stay at Aulani to the "investment in future vacations" in DRR, we continued to explore, blending direct and resale purchases into a grand total of 1152 points and a kingdom of magical memories.
I wanted to share our journey with you all and would love to hear your own experiences and insights into the DVC world. Together, we can continue to uncover the secrets of DVC and make the magic our own!
Our magical stay at Aulani had unlocked a world of possibilities, and the glimpse into the DVC villa had set our dreams in motion. A new chapter awaited, filled with unexpected twists, wise decisions, and more Disney enchantment. What lay ahead? Only (a short) time would tell... Step 2: here!
Full disclosure, ChatGPT 4 edited my writeup in the style of DVC marketing department! I will post my original writeup if there is interest (15 thumbs up)!
Clicking on the banner for each resort in my signature will reveal the step we took towards it. Riviera and Grand Cal is up.
