It depends on what you are comparing it to. A room at BCV is cheaper, even with TVM than a room at the Beach Club. But if you just want a room on property, value resorts are cheaper....and off-site is cheaper yet. Add in risk and the way DVC tends to change your Disney experience, and it's pretty easy for DVC to be ALOT more expensive than a regular room, while convincing you you have a bargain.I believe they are actually more expensive, not cheaper.

True, but I thought it was obvious that I was comparing apples to apples, not Disney deluxe resort to the Days Inn.It depends on what you are comparing it to.

No regret about buying into DVC (2001). We did consider buying more points 15 plus years ago, glad we didn't. What I dislike is:
1. Difficulty booking any other resort other than our home resort. We have not had any luck booking a non home resort at the 7 month window.
Funny that this is your experience - I haven't been able to get our home resort, but have been successful getting other resorts less than 7 months.
Me either....so you can get more coffee for free?Thank you!! I didn't know that
Just my personal opinion, but if you cannot buy enough for at least a 1 Bedroom, not sure DVC should be an option. DVC is a Timeshare, a luxury. If money is so tight that cannot afford more than a studio, is this the best use of one's money--just my opinion.
