If you had
DVC, couldn't you just live at Mickey's House???
I'd love it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I thought it sounded great, but I know NOTHING about timeshare kinds of things. My GF in the neighborhood bought into a timeshare co. years ago when she was single, so we talked a bit when we were at Ocean Shores. (They stay in a timeshare there.) It just so happens that when she met her DH he also had timeshare points, so they combined them and got into larger, nicer rooms, which was cool!
Even at Ocean Shores (and I have no idea what they pay), the facility was really nice, just a 2-br condo, and it's right on the beach, away from all the horse manure and everything right in town. Granted, they have to drive a mile or two if they want to go out to eat, but I could see just staying for DAYS right there at the condo. The beach was nice and quiet, the kids had a blast!
