DVC or Polynesian Aug 2011

[Deb & Bill]

...Also, at the Poly they have a DVC kiosk and you can sign up to get the sales pitch. When we did it they gave us $200 gift card for doing the presentation - if you're staying at a Deluxe resort you can get a bigger gift card than people staying at moderates. It takes about 2 hours, they will pick you up at the hotel in a van and drive you back when done. ...
For comparison, a room at the Polynesian (which has some of the biggest rooms of any Disney resort) is about 410 square feet. A 1 BR suite at Boardwalk is about 710 square feet. And if you get a 2 BR suite that's even more square footage.....

Gosh, when we signed up at the Polynesian for the tour, we only got cookies and lemonade after we did the tour. But we also got our points for about $50 a point directly from Disney (this was back in 1997).

And your terminology is a bit off. Villas are not suites and suites are not villas. DVC has villas. The non-DVC resorts have suites. There is a difference.

My advice to you is to enjoy your vacation that you already planned. Then just you and your husband take a long weekend non-theme park mini vacation together and explore each DVC, do this by renting some dvc points. This way you can put your full attention into this decision.
Then look at the resale market and compare your notes.
, and you may find that the DVC is for you.
