Yep, my trip home dropped to $39 a couple of weeks back on SW, I was delighted! If my flight down would drop, I'd almost have enough credits to pay the airfare for a Spring trip!

This made me tear up! Just knowing it's an option again today to cross the border is HUGE!!! We still need our government to change it's PCR requirements to come back across the border (just too expensive!) but, still hoping that will happen.

Regardless, our Jan trip is looking much more promising and I am SO thankful!!!

See ya real soon Mickey!!!

The annual dues are more than a weeks trip regularly booked. No matter how I try, and I’ve tried, I can’t justify DVC.

Us too. If ONLY they'd build a DVR geared to couples (2 people) only. We dont need all of the rooms or appliances.

Super curious how you calculated that - not going to try and argue the worth of DVC, but genuinely can't figure out how the annual dues are more than booking a week direct through Disney. For example - an Animal Kingdom Savannah Studio, at an average 130 points/week, is only $1,071 for dues, or $153/night. What am I missing?

The annual dues are nowhere near the cost of a rack rate deluxe room booked on cash. Even with discounts the dues are far lower. Now there are some other things to factor in such as initial purchase price, any loans people take out, and whether or not you would stay at a different level of resort instead but dues themselves are much lower than cash rates.
