How did you get seriously interested in DVC?

After two cash trips, heard about DVC and looked into it, wasn't something we could afford at the time. Fast forward to covid and the covid funny money and some other saving we had done, was able to afford it. Did the math and figured it would cost about the same to get into deluxe resorts as what we were paying cash for AOA and POR.

The damn kiosk got to us when we needed to get out of the rain. That was our introduction to DVC when they were initially selling VGF. We did not buy then, but ended up going to Disney for cash stays for the next 3 years. When we got engaged at CRT, we bought our first DVC contract at PVB. Over the years, we added on at CCV, then sold it to get VGC since we travel to CA/HI more often than FL.

This was a turning point for me as well, once I had learned about it, this helped push me over the line!


Similarly, I had a life changing trip to DisneyIand in 2019, and I just wanted more, so I started looking into a trip to WDW (had never been), and a friend was a Disney traveI agent and when she gave me a quote for $4000 to stay at Coronado for 10 days, I thought, I’d rather put that towards purchasing something, I can’t just “spend” $4k and be done, so I decided to spend $5k on a 50pt BRV contract, and the rest is history. Kinda missing that contract now. lol

But didn't you basically get almost all of your money back on the BRV contract? I'd say it was money well spent!

I was thinking who stops at the kiosks? Now I know

My daughter stops at every single one because they have pin trading boards, plus she always asks for DVC stickers.

Our introduction to DVC was during a Disney Cruise. After that, we have done some more research ourselves before buying.
