What's gotten better over the years since we bought DVC in 2011...
Being able to check availability on the website, and book online!
I can remember so,so, so many calls JUST to see what resorts were available, what dates were available, and if you wanted to modify, that meant a call. There was no handy availability calendar online. I know there are still WAY too many things that folks are forced to call about, but it's better than it used to be.
We enjoy the DVC lounge in Epcot.
We've never done them, since they NEVER coincide with when we can travel, but the Moonlight Magic events sound fun. Not a big perk for us tho, but for some it's great
More resorts for DVC. I know many are just converted regular deluxes, but we NEVER, ever would've paid cash for deluxe,.
A huge thing for us is the discount on annual passes, if that goes away, we might start reconsidering some of our DVC/Disney travel to WDW.
I absolutely did NOT want to buy DVC, or any timeshare, I thought they were rip-offs, and didn't think we needed vacations all the time...DH was the one who wanted it. Kids were young, and we were going yearly or close to it. AND we loved Star Wars weekends (RIP.....) Chose BWV because he liked the proximity and ability to walk to 2 parks. I was sold on being able to stay in 1 or 2 bedrooms with full kitchens, washer/dryer, etc. I"m not interested in studios at this time.
We LOVE Epcot festivals so much. It's definitely something better that there are so many now, and almost all year. HS is the family's favorite park, even before SWGE, but we all love Star Wars additions. (please bring back the SW weekends!) Anything they add to parks that are more thrill rides, like Guardians are plusses to us. We're VERY glad to have bought BWV resale then.....now if only they'd make some dedicated 2 bedrooms....
