Taking the plunge...

[prettypixie]

but don't want to do it without DH completely on board...you see my DH is not a fan of disney We already own one timeshare in the Orlando area and I still prefer to stay on site. So the idea of buying into another Orlando timeshare is not going over well in my house Has anyone else had trouble convincing spouse to commit to DVC? Suggestions please for getting DH on board?

Sellers for us...
* Dis keeps resale values relatively high due to ROFR.
* Proven track record for upkeep on properties (look at the Contemporary and Poly, for example)
* Trading ability (I know it's not a good deal, but it is an option)
* Flexibility (any week, any size room, banking/borrowing options)
* We kept going back and staying in DVC resorts (this was the clincher)

Best of luck. It's a tough decision, but one we've been very happy with since our purchase!

For me it was easy - Hilton Head Island. DH is a golfer and loves the wonderful courses at HHI. It doesn't hurt that WDW has 5 courses on site too. So, our Disney vacations always include a couple of rounds of golf for DH.
I love Disney for thinking of the whole family!

Check these boards for threads that have broken down the cost of DVC versus "rack rates" for hotel rooms; figured out over the life of the DVC contract. Some people have gone to great lengths to show mathematically the advantage - I found it fascinating and very informative. I think that might help your DH.
