Actually, JMF, it seems that what you are really asking us to do is give you fodder for why DVC ISN'T right for your family. It's true that the outlay of money is pretty heavy (depending on one's own finances) and that you pay maintenance fees each year which will continue to rise. If you're looking for absolutes as to why DVC is great, you won't find them here or via a DVC guide.
Most people who buy into DVC do so because they figure over the cost of program they will get their money's worth while in the meantime enjoy topnotch accomodations. You don't figure you'll do the former and say you don't care about the latter; thus, no amount of cajoling by any of us will sway you. If you don't think DVC is worth the money, then it isn't based on your particular needs. For those who make more frequent trips than you, who enjoy the accomodations as a way to unwind after long days in the parks, who want guaranteed resort rates for the life of the contract (actually, it's just under 50 years for SSR), then DVC is right up their alley.
Bottom line: Reading between the lines of all your responses, it sounds as if you don't think DVC is a good deal for you or your family, and who are we to think otherwise? If that's the case, I say definitely do not buy. Good luck with the decision.
