I am STILL trying to talk DH into this... And I have read that the DVC points can be used for a Disney Cruise and for staying at other places. But I can't find out how many points it would take to book a cruise. I did find the Points chart here on the DIS for each DVC resort... but I could not find it for anything else. Is it just me? (as my dear children think... blind as a bat sometimes!) I mignt be able to talk him into it if I can find out about how hard it is to use the points for other places then WDW.
So I need to know :
Points needed to book Disney Cruise/anyone do this/ how hard was it?
Points to stay at DL in Cal./anyone do it/hard?
Also, and very important, with our current timeshare we can book Last Min. Getaways to any resort in the system and only have it cost 1/2 of the usual Points . For us this is usuall good as we are last min planners most of the time. So if I want to go to WDW within the next 60 days and stay at the current timeshare we own it will cost, say, 100 points instead of 200 for a 3 bedroom. Can you do this with DVC? or is the point price allways the same? Or is it just not usuall possible to plan last min getaways using DVC, and I guess it would depend on the time of year we want to go!
And is there any place on the web that has a point to point compare. chart.
Like 300 points at DVC is equal to ? at Sunterra/BlueGreen/ Marriot/ Fairfield? This is also important to him... I could care less!
I did notice, and find info to suport ,that DVC seems to be the only timeshare that has NOT gone down after buying it. DH is not happy that it is not a deeded property, so we can't leave it to the kids. Heck, I could care less about that at this point!
How many years is the deed at SS now with the 12 extra years? 42 or 52 years? I will be...., well very, very old! So not as worried as he is!
