Missing anything?

[kcmyluv]

Hello everyone!
We have almost made our desion to buy the DVC! I have been to Disney six time and my DH just once (with me of course). We both love it. WE have never seen their timeshare presentation though. I have read a lot of the questions on this borad and talked with the rep from the DVC, but I am just wondering if there is anything I may be missing by not going to the presentation?

If you will be at WDW soon enough to actually attend a DVC sales presentation before the price per point goes up and before BCV sells out, go for it. However, if you are feeling 99% certain and won't be going in the next 6 to 9 months, you may want to move on it soon rather than waiting for a "schpeel". Of course, this will depend upon whether you want to buy BCV before they sell out, or a resale, or if you want to finance through Disney, etc.

If you have some specific questions, throw them out here and you'll likely get lots of answers!

And welcome to the DIS boards!

The biggest decision you are faced with is your choice of a home resort. Depending on that will determine whether or not you need to go the resale route or whether going directly through Disney is an option. Then you need to determine the number of points you'll want. The point charts or Caskbill's program can be a great help with this, in doing a little "typical" vacation planning in reference to your budget and what you can afford to purchase. With those two decisions under your belt, your ready to shop for what your looking for. That may be resale, or through DVC.

My apology if you already well aware of this, just thought I'd give my opinion of a purchase road map. Best wishes, you'll find these board to be outstanding help.

We are most likely going to buy through Disney, then we can do their financing, It is a tax write off. Not much, but any little bit helps.

I can't imagine that there is anything that you can learn at the meetings that you can't learn here.

And the members here don't even work on commission....just good intentions!

Also check out a home equity loan. Much lower rates and also tax deductible.
