Is DVC even worth it for us?

[disneynutz]

I went on a DVC presentation a few months ago and was told that the point cost at the resorts do not increase. If this is true then why do the point charts come out yearly. If it is not true, then how often/how much do the points required to stay increase?

Point total doesn't change but holidays can change seasons, DVC can turn a theme park view into a standard view, or there can be other changes. If the points go down in one area, the go up in another or visa versa.

the overall total point allocate for a resort cannot increase. DVC has the ability to adjust but cannot increase overall.

If I recall, in the earlier dayS they weekend day point cost was much higher the sun-thurs. They level set the the points a bit to accommodate the changing demand.

I don't recall the specifics of the point chart but a sunday night would cost 13 point when a Friday would cost 23. They blend the week to balance the days closer.

I do have an accounting degree and spent the last year as an auditor.

But I also don't own to SAVE money - I own because...
1) We want the kids in a different bedroom
2) I am not comfortable renting
3) When I bought, I was an onsite snob.
4) We can easily afford it.

Frankly, if it weren't for #1, we are happier in Deluxe hotels. And if it weren't for the kids being little and Disney being an easy trip, we wouldn't have bought. We have a last trip promised to our godchild, who isn't yet old enough, and then we may sell.

TOTALLY agree with this post and every one of the reasons. Our other reason is that we feared we would put off planning a vacation every year unless we structured it and end up doing nothing.
