I'm sure that the answers are out there but I just couldn't find them last night. Anyways, I just got a nice, nice bonus at work and we're thinking about using it towards a DVC purchase. I have a few questions that I didn't find answers to last night:
1. What are the other benefits of DVC membership (I saw one thread on reduced AP prices - how about other tickets)? I'm thinking in terms of food discounts, souvenir savings, etc, specifically at WDW.
2. Generally, we can get a better price or more home resort options if we buy a resale (we're in no rush). Is there any downside to this?
3. If we decide several years down the road that *gasp* this isn't right for us, or if for some strange reason we need the money, we'd probably sell it off. How has the resale market been in recent years? Have people done okay on their investment even though they haven't held it for a long time, or is this pretty much a losing proposition? So, say, if we use the benefits for 4 years and then sell it, would we be out a lot of money, or could we possibly break even or so?
Thanks so much!!
