How many times did you stay in DVC/related deluxe before buying in?

I never stayed on property prior to buying my DVC contracts. I had planned to do so, but Covid prevented that from happening.

None. Went from All-Stars to DVC!

Me too!

I think it's interesting that almost half of the people who posted had never stayed in DVC before they joined.

LOL! I predict that the All Stars are one of the best to encourage DVC. I was staying at All Star Music when I took the tour, and I still say that the comparison is one reason why DVC looked outstanding.

I stayed in regular rooms at GF, Poly and BC before I bought. What turned me is I stayed with friends in an OKW 2 bedroom in March 1999. I bought BWV in September 1999 (loved the area when I stayed at BC).

When we purchased while staying onsite, they took off our entire week stay cost from our direct purchase. Our rep even found us a room at BLT on the 16th floor near the lounge for the rest of our week. Walking to the lounge and to MK was significantly better than navigating through cheerleaders at All Star Sports.

2x, but didn't pay for either. DH was working Lotusphere conference in 1998 and they had us at the Boardwalk. Loved that area so we got a discounted rate for the Swan the next year. After we had kids we stayed at value resorts except in 2007 when my Dad put his timeshare points in RCI for us to use at Saratoga. My mom died in 2009 and we used some of the inheritance to buy DVC resale, OKW. Our favorite resort is still Boardwalk although we've stayed at most of them ..and least favorite is Saratoga.
