We are considering buying into the DVC. My DW main concern is that she may like to visit other places rather than the land of the rising mickey.
I know you can use your DVC points to "buy" holidays elsewhere but how easy is this and what are peoples experiences ie availability and quality.
For info we are looking to purchase 300-325 points in BC
Thank you in advance,

We have stayed at the Marriott Newport Beach in CA. We have stayed at the Plaza in NYC, the Marriott in Hilton Head, SC, and the hotel in Washington, DC. The name escapes me. I have read post from others who have stayed in Hawaii and many other places. You can trade, just give yourself a while for the trade to work. Most of the time you can't do them quickly. I have heard of people requesting them 2 years out. All the trades will be 5 star just as WDW is. You don't have to worry about where you are trading because Disney has already researched them. They only let us trade to the best. Every place we have traded has been beautiful and up to Disney standards. I plan to trade out for one vacation each year and go to WDW the other. If you haven't been to WDW, then you are in for a great surprise. The DVC resorts are just great and you don't always have to do the Mickey thing. You can make them a vacation without Mickey if you like. The resorts at HH and VB are for those times that you want another kind of vacation, but even at WDW you can have those. Good luck with your choice but you can't go wrong with DVC.
 
You can always rent out your points and pay cash for the other vacation. It takes a little work but you always come out ahead.

DVC is a great way to prepay your vacations,it sort of inflation proofs your accomadations.

Good luck. Rich
 
We used some for the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland last year. We're using some for the "Grand Hotel" on Mackinac Island, Michigan in a few weeks. The process was as simple as booking our rooms at any of the DVC resorts.
