How much did you spend on your dvc membership

[tx911]

I have 4,000 points. Average say $160pp (direct and resale).

Thats $640,000

The force is strong with you!

 

[tx911]

But you’re comparing apples to VGC… you’re fine. It’s not like my AKV, BRV and OKW points are sniffing VGC…

My VGC points are only 14% of my total, so mostly apples and more apples. Good thing I love me some apples!

 

[tx911]

Twinning. Haha. All direct except VGC. My average per point is $193. Haha. Also hello from DCA - in line for Mater . It’s fun to think how we’d do DVC differently if we started over.

I love DCA! I can’t wait to hear “5-4-3-2-1 Go!” again
My price/point is virtually identical to yours haha

So….are you moving into the grand villas permanently? That is honestly incredible!

Sounds great, but wait until you get the annual dues bill!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Remember this: DVC is keeping you out of LTC and that's huge savings!!

Long Term Care?

 

[CarolynFH]

Thanks @crvetter!! That helps a lot. My wife's biggest concern with Aulani is boredom. I think it would be really fun, but with 10 hours of travel each way (possibly broken up by a short stop by DL), I almost have to book a week and a half for it to make sense.

Just wanted to say there’s a whole forum for Aulani - https://www.disboards.com/forums/aulani-a-disney-resort-spa.198/

And if you’re thinking about a 10-day trip I’d try to visit two islands - the Big Island is my favorite, you could book an Interval International exchange there for a week then spend 3 days just lazing around Aulani. Although there are things to see on Oahu, but you need a rental car to get there.

Living Too Cautiously?

 

[Jack Kerouac]

My average price per point sucks!
Almost all direct and what is not direct is resale VGC so it's all $$$$$Don't feel bad. We bought BRV for a higher pric e

Don't beat yourself up. We paid more pp for BRV than we could have bought at SSR despite the longer contract. We just love BRV. Plus you get to book VGC!!!

I'm always living too cautiously... Raising my arms on Space Mountain seems scary.

Yeppers.

I need to ditch my LTC insurance in favor of more DVC points. That’s sound financial advice!

We’re talking avg purchase price, not including dues, right?
I need a formula to help me wrap my head around this. lol
Ppp x amount of points, then do that for all contracts, then divide by total number of points?

I definitely like the idea of spending more on DVC instead of (or in place of) LTC.!!!

The way I nodded my head sagely and approvingly at this, it really is scary. 33 has hit hard apparently.

 

[MerlinandtheMouse]

Thanks, yes, we've enjoyed it tremendously. Our children and now grandchildren are growing up at WDW.

(Dating myself, I stayed as a 12 year old the first week of the Poly in October 1971)

We now own 5 resorts with over 5000 points.

Wowzaaaaa, why aren’t you in the 1000 point club, you’d be VP and Campaign Manager (and probably usurper not too distantly) at #2 on the list (slacker)!

Yes sadly haha. 400 of ours are VGC so they skewed us higher. If WDW were our home park we would have a much lower average per point price. But Disneyland our home park and we like 11 month planning so VGC and VDH it is for most our points.

I try to forget how many points we have every January.

i can imagine… that isn’t a fun bill every year. I’m already dreading my little 1,600 bill right after Christmas
