This is a really eye-opening thread. I thought I would have been in a huge minority, and nothing could be further from the truth apparently. I would have bet an almost stupid amount of money that I would have been virtually the only one to have never stayed in a DVC resort, much less a deluxe resort when this thread began. And just guessing by what tends to be the general population of this board and especially the DVC areas, I would also bet that option zero rises greatly on the DVC ownership as a whole. Color me surprised. I would have never guessed it.

They have so many YouTube videos , you can see every inch of the dvc rooms online. Also I think most people have stayed at various levels of hotels and understand amenities without experiencing them.
