Great Alternative - Own DVC & Elsewhere

[yyzgurl]

We just bought into DVC and are absolutely thrilled about it. However, we also own at Marriott Grande Vista (6 years now). This works out great because we are planning on staying at DVC Sun-Friday (cheapy points days!) and then will move to our other timeshare in Orlando.

This is our new plan for our trip in September. I figure since we go to Universals parks and love to shop, being off-site for a while is very beneficial.

Marriott Timeshare, and others are much cheaper than Disney. We love our Marriott unit and have had no problem trading out for new places with Interval. Some say that it's harder to trade out using other timeshare places vs. Disney but this is not the case. I have had no problems trading out to Hawaii, Aruba, and other high-demand places.

Just a suggestion to those who don't want to spend lots of $$$$$ but still want to stay on-site.

That being said, I can't wait to go to Disney and stay for the very first time as owners!!!

Great Alternative - Own DVC & Elsewhere

Yup, we enjoy the same -- but with a different mix of properties.

A number of us own and have discussed the complementary situation of owning DVC plus other timeshares. I own Marriott and others, all with II. My Marriott's are all Plat time on HH. Just make sure you get a Friday or Sunday start date, or plan for a hotel, so you can match up avoiding weekends. Actually this type of plan (a week offsite with a few days at DVC) works even better for Orlando using a very cheap week, like South Africa or similar, and just trading to Orlando every year.
