Wow, $99 is a nice price point! I've also heard they can allow a 100 point buy-in, even though they advertise a minimum of 160. Do you know if that's true? If you can also get a CM discount, that would be great!We are going to do direct from Disney & most likely SSR since its $99 per point where the other resorts are around $120 a point. Although my uncle is a CM and he said that he may be able to get us a discount depending on when we decide to do it. If that's true then we'll be able to do it sooner.We do know that we want to pay the costs up front & not do finance so we're hoping to have the money by next December or next June if my uncle can get us a discount.
My DH was the one who suggested we do it. Right now we've been mostly staying in Values and while there is nothing wrong with them its a tight squeeze for our family of five. We're staying in our first Moderate on this trip but we know that we will need more space soon since the kids are getting older. For us it'll be cheaper to do DVC and pay the up front costs and only $600 a year rather then pay $5000 a trip for a Deluxe hotel.
I totally agree about paying in full. That is the only way we would go, which is why we would be years out from making that decision! And that's true about needing more room as the kids get older. We only have two little ones right now, so we're content to stay in a smaller room.
We've stayed at SSR before. The whole resort is really nice!
