We just got back from another great Disney trip and of course I'm thinking about a trip in 2011. I got to wondering if DVC would be a good fit for our family but in looking at the price of the points it seems like it would take 15-20 years for it to be "worth it" and that's assuming we would be paying rack rate somewhere.
We're about to be a family of 6 and while we love staying at the Poly now obviously we'll be outgrowing the regular rooms there so we'll eventually have to be looking into either a family suite or two rooms at a moderate or something. However we would have to take a 2BR villa based on the occupancy limits and the point usage for those all seem to be in the mid 200s to low 300s range for a week stay. That's alot of points to be purchasing upfront
We like to go every year (at least right now - who knows when the kids get older) so its not like we could buy a smaller amount and just bank points for every other year.
Is DVC just not meant for a larger family? Am I missing something? We typically travel during "dream season" - should we buy into HHI and hope to be able to use the points when we like to travel? Can we book two studios instead of a 2BR?
All I know about DVC is what I've been researching online - if there's some way this makes sense for the type and size of travelers we are please let me know.
p.s. - is there a chance there could be a Poly DVC ever?
