Is there anything you hate about DVC?
Regrets, wish lists, if you could sell it and get all of your money back, and I do mean all of your money, would you do it?
Anyone out there wished they hadn’t bought into DVC?
1) nothing really we hate about DVC For what it is. Would love to be able to book last minute during peak season but that’s not how it works so we aren’t upset that we can’t do that. The things we hated were beyond their control. Coming from western Canada meant going to FL was an ordeal and usually encompassed all our vac time and money.
2) we sold this year and actually made about an extra 50% profit. We owned for 10 years and bought when Cdn dollar was above US dollar. So between weak cdn dollar and price increases we made out pretty well.
3) although we sold we don’t regret for a minute buying. We bought on our honeymoon and before kids so we got to experience Disney in an amazing way when our kids were young. We went to Aulani 3 times and got to bring my parents with us On our trips. We sold because, when we bought, we couldn’t have predicted where our lives would go. Kids are now heavily involved in activities so our 3 week winter getaways are becoming less. We also want to visit other places and can’t afford to do everything as dues get quite expensive after exchange rates.
having said all that we would have happily kept our DVC for longer. An opportunity presented itself, we discussed it and we took it. Had the dollar been closer to par we would have kept our contract and still used it happily.
