Has Anyone Paid A Room Recovery Fee?

I find it hard to believe membership would be revoked. So, what would DVC do? Keep all your money and cancel your membership? Good luck.

Yep. When you breach the contract, they can terminate for breach. No illegal activity in a room rented with your points is spelled out as a term of your contract.

They aren't LIKELY to unless its fairly egregious, but they have the legal right to. My guess is that underage drinking that other guests notice and complain about combined with vandalism to the room might be egregious enough (so would drug use in your room). Just don't breach your contract and you'll be fine.

You, as a member, WANT this. Imagine another DVC member who gets caught breaking into DVC hotel rooms when guests are in the park and robbing their rooms. Do you want that jerk to keep his membership? Cause he won't be in jail for the entire term of his contract.

We had a pack and play missing from our 2 bedroom at VB.

DH noticed someone carrying out a pack and play from the beach club yesterday. Can anyone give a reason why someone would be bringing their own pack and play? If you needed a second one, would housekeeping give you one?

Do you think they often disappear from villas?

You bring your own because it is clean. Which you cannot always say about Disney's

It is not a lease. Not in a legal sense. It is a DEEDED REAL ESTATE interest recorded at the county registrar's office and is a full real estate ownership in the eyes of the state of FL. It simply has a termination of rights date.

You don't lease DVC like you lease a car. It's not the same thing.

You are certainly free to believe what you choose to believe, of course, but I see nothing in the verbiage you posted that gives DVD any rights with regards to taking back your ownership.

If I buy a house and pay for it legally, God can't take it away from me in NC (there are some exceptions now law that have yet to actually play fully out in a court of law but they are not applicable in any way here). I suspect it's the same way in FL.

There's no provision for DVD to "buy me out at their sole discretion" and they certainly cannot take it from me without monetary compensation.

I choose to believe this because this is the law and just good ole common horse-sense until someone shows me case law where an ownership has been revoked and taken back.

The old saying, "A man's home is his castle." is more than just an adage for the ages. It is the law in the US. Deeded property is a home. Again, until someone proves me wrong, I stand by my contentions.

Just because you own something it does not give you rights to use it however you feel. You maybe restricted by zoning laws, or worse, HOA's.

I was actually standing right there as they arrested the kids because their room was in the same area I was staying in and only a few doors down. I spoke to the arresting officer along with manager/Disney security and they were the ones telling me that the room was trashed, that the maintenance would be by in the morning to repair so there would be some excess noise and that they now had to deal with the owners of the vacation club membership.

This is skewing off topic, but did they come to you asking for info or did you go to them? Just asking as one day I had a knock at the door (Kidani) from a manager-type person and an officer asking if I had heard any noise recently ... I responded no, but the kids next door had been crying and hitting/kicking their side of the door between the units...

It dawned on me afterward and I felt awful as though someone had reported *US* as making a disturbance. I know we did nothing wrong, but I'm always paranoid about this stuff.

You are assuming that ownership and membership are the same thing. The report was that the membership was revoked.

What happened was they were a few doors down, I opened my door to see what all the hub bub was about, (I plead the nosy neighbor), and saw what was happening. The manager came over and apologized to me for the noise and then went to explain what had just happened. He did ask me if they made any other noise, and like I said, being nosy, I asked him some questions as well.
