Well, I'm not so sure, from a personal standpoint.bpmorley said:I think all DVC members are in that category, whether they want to admit it or not.
DH & I were doing 2 vacations a year to WDW, staying in either a moderate or a deluxe, so I think DVC may have actually saved us some $$. I have never sta down and figured out what it has cost me since 1997, and how many days I have actually stayed in a DVC room since 1997, but I have a "sense" that overall, I have saved osme money on accomodations since purchasing DVC.
The other stuff...tickets, airfare, souvenirs, food...I don't really count because those things are always part of my WDW experience, regardless of my accomodations. I have to go there by plane, I have to buy tickets to get into the parks, I have to eat, and I always buy some souvenirs. Actually, with souvenirs I think I have become more discriminating, lest I have an entire house decorated in "Disney", and an entire wardrobe of clothing with Mickey or Tink on them, so I may actually be spending less in souvenirs!!!
Again, you do need to be a pretty specific type of traveller to WDW (at least every other year), you need to be the type who truly prefers a nicer accomodation, you need to understand that value isn't always just about the money.
