Is anyone out there still happy with their DVC membership?

[Markeymouses]

We are very happy but we are at the begining of our 50 years .....staying for the 1st "official DVC stay" at AKV kidani in June. I would like to say one thing though....I look forward to our trips every year and just knowing I'll be able to plan all the time makes me VERY HAPPY! I am noticing that they like to keep you on your toes HUH! Loving everything Disney even my dues

Still happy-the resorts at Vero Beach and Hilton Head far exceeded our expectations-we've had great trips as DVC members to WDW and looking forward to our first stay at AKV this summer with our daughter and her husband. One day we hope to take grandchildren! We"re able to travel different times of the year, different size villas-we love the flexibility. And it forces my work-a-holic husband to block out a week every year!

Still very positive about my 200 BWV points.

Great! Haven't "seen" you around here lately, and I seem to remember that you do like studios!

Been pretty busy, but glad to be back. Yes I still favor studios.

Bought in 1996 and are still happy we did it. We bought enough points to stay when we want and in one bedrooms or larger. We bought points after OKW at Vero and HH because we loved them also. We do always plan 11months out (only one or two exceptions). We have been happy to share with friends and family - but mostly just the three of us.

There have been some changes, but none have negatively affected us so far.

This "investment" not that we think of it as one has performed better than any other we have made except maybe College Illinois for our daughter.

The only negative is that we are spoiled and think that staying in a regular hotel room, no matter how nice, is slumming.

Unfortunately many people think Disney and anything attached to it should be perfect, but we don't live in a perfect world.

We are still happy with our DVC. In fact, every few days someone is saying "I wish we were in Disney".

The point change won't affect us much since we usually spend an entire week or more. We may have to change our travel week by a few weeks to get the best point advantage, but we are flexible.

We will probably consider buying more soon. Our DVC has more than paid for itself so all future trips are basically the cost of dues which will be much cheaper than the cost to book without DVC.

Overall, we are still happy. When we are not, we will sell.

However, as long as I am paying dues then I will continue to hold DVC to a standard that was set when I bought in. I don't think DVC should be allowed to slack off when Disney resorts are not.

Maybe some DVC members stay only DVC and therefore do not have the comparsion but the upkeep lately on DVC is getting to borderline ridiculous. Hopefully that problem will soon be taken care of.

Many changes that have happened recently will not impact everyone and therefore I think if that is the case it would be hard to be sure if it would bother you or not. As someone else stated, we hate the change to the banking because it does very much affect us, due to our use year and planning summer trips. Also some members were lucky to have guides that were very helpful and truthful but others were not.

I don't think being concerned about an investment is any reason to think that members are ungrateful for what they have, just a wise business decision to look out for that investment.

Very happy DVC members.

So anybody who complains is not happy. Interesting theory. I did not know that I was a miserably unhappy person. Thank you for clueing me in. I suppose that's why I've been driving all around DC with that big 'ole DVC Member window decal on the back of my truck...and the entire "mouse family" including decals for my cats on the opposite side of my truck window. Not sure what the Mickey Fuzzy Dice may mean that hang off my rearview mirror. I am really confused about my state of mind now. Whatever does it all mean that I love that we have an affordable means to vacation but I am disappointed in the manner of how DVC has handled "things" lately??

Well I must be just as unhappy because I have the "mouse family" decals including a decal for our dog.

Well if you're driving around AA County and see a mini-van with the MouseEar family of 4 (and dog), a big DVC member magnet and a Buffalo Bills magnet -- make sure you honk and wave!

We love our DVC membership - we've had 3 trips so far and many more to come!

I will reserve judgment on the "2 waitlist" rule, but I think I don't like that, but nothing else so far has bothered me.

 

[PooooohBear]

We are extremely happy.

We're relatively new, having taken 5 trips (short & long to both HHI & AKV) on our points since September '07. I honestly can't think of one thing we've had to complain about. (knock on wood)
