Just started looking into DVC. I have a few questions for some economically-minded DISers. I'm having a hard time justifying a move like this, especially considering the money involved. If you can, please use some concrete examples (amount monthly, etc). I know some of this may be personal but I'm trying to do this math in my head, and it doesn't fit (not to mention the fact that I'm not a human calculator or a banker
).
OK, say you buy 300 points (approx $75/point) which is about $22,500 (and probably $30,000 after financing):
How long does this timeshare last? (I think I've somewhere around 30 years.)
Do the number of points per room inflate every year?
What about at the other locations (Australia, cruise, etc) where you can use them? Do they increase yearly, and what are the points for these types of rooms, trips, etc outside of Disney?
What kind of discounts are they talking for the theme park tickets?
I know these are a lot of questions, but , like I said, I'm trying to justify this monetarily, but I haven't been able to find all of the answers.
Any other info and/or reasons why you chose to do this (other than the obvious flexibility, and "hey, it's Disney!") would be appreciated as well.
Thanks so much!
