I don't know that I would have bought....and I certainly would not buy at today's prices and with today's bargains on travel.
We do prefer the Deluxe rooms to the DVC rooms. I like daily mousekeeping
Knowing what I know now, I think I'd be as happy offsite in a house for cheaper as I am with DVC. And with the bargains Disney is offering right now, I'd think I'd take my chances on bargains.
We really have ended up becoming "Disney people" - and that's really restricted the other travel I'd like to do, but I have these points......
The only thing that makes me not regret our purchase is that we bought in after 9/11 and bought resale - and bought a pretty small number of points - so we got a pretty good price. I do like having my kids sleep in a different room - and I have enjoyed treating family and friends to rooms.
I'm glad we didn't buy earlier. And I'm glad we didn't buy more points. And I like my home resort just fine.
I don't care for the instability (point switching, changes to how reservations work - and for us, moving back Food and Wine two weeks - that has created a huge hassle for us - an event we don't particularly enjoy now makes our resort and the parks crowded during our typical vacation time). I don't like Disney's lack of communication on these things.
