Man was I wrong. Found my spreadsheet from 1998 weighing cost of DVC vs rack rates and break even point

I came across a notebook this weekend where I was tracking prices for a trip...and a 5 day Park Hopper ticket was like $250 and an Annual Pass was around $450. Man what I wouldn't give for THOSE prices again...or even for the ability to buy an Annual Pass again.

In 1998 i bought 4 AP's @ Guest services in DTD....total price was $992 for 4 adults.....those were the days!

I don't know how true it is for anyone else that has had iDVC from the beginning. But I've heard when you 1st had old Key West years ago that they even came with admission tickets to the parks? Does anyone else know if that is true?

Absolutely true - and a nice incentive to buy. We took advantage of the passes through 1999. And just an FYI (if you care!), the resort was originally called The Vacation Club - later changed to Old Key West when they started opening other locations. The sales pitch used to include a visit to their ice cream bar - a free sundae at the end was a nice touch!

My only DVC regret is also not buying in earlier.

...and more points. My purchases range from $82 - $98/point. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
