this thread is directly at what dvc rules you like the most, please do not post, about the DVC resorts, and which you like hte most and what you like about each DVC resort

i.e
.
I like the flexibility to purchase small add on dvc point contracts, so I can conveniently increase or decrease my commitment to dvc, without getting out entirely.

I like the ability to book one night at a time, for seven different weeks, instead of 7 nights togheter, for one week.
I have friends with normal one week timeshares and if they only want to use 3 days, they still have to use up their one week, in the trade process, with Internval international or RCI.

I like that I own at BCV and OKW, but have access to 5 other DVC Resorts, with no exchange fees.
When I owned MArriott Beach Place Towers. If I wanted to go from Platinmum season, to GOld Seaosn, at my own resort.
i had to pay $158.

I like the simplicity of the rules, when booking.
I like the starwood system, it is a point system, like DVC. But, if you book less than 7 nights, like a bigger unit, for 6 nights. THe booking window is 2 months, instead of 10 months. Heck, it is worthless, because availability at good times and good resorts is gone.

I like that perks stay with DVC, when you resale your retail purchased points, or purchase your first points resale.
In marriott, if you sell your retail purchase, the person, who has bought it resale,cannot use the Marriott points, at marriott hotels, only the retail purchaser
In starwood, if you resale your starwood retail purchase and it is not an atlantis, st john or maui property. THe new owner, is totally kicked out of the system and cannot use this starwood points to book dreictly at starwood sister properties, he has to trade thru Interval International.
i.e. I purchase Old key west retail and then sell it to Disney DOLL,
since she bought it Resale. she cannot use it at BCV,BWV, WL,HH OR VB anymore, only if she can trade her resale okw thru II, to get At bCV.
 
Well, I think you hit the biggest one--- The flexibility of booking any number of nights, in any size villa, anytime of the year.
I also agree with your others... :cool:

I also love the flexibility - and no charge for going to another resort - that is wonderful!!!

I happen to like the no maid rule - I don't like anyone in my room (villa) when I am not there.

with DVC this is not a problem!
 
I think you summarized most of the benefits of DVC ownership pretty well. My favorite "rule" also would be the point system...and not being locked into one accommodation for the same week at the same resort every year.
 

I really like the point system. A friend of my father's insists to my father that if we bought a timeshare, we must use one week at a time, the same week, every year. He does not understand the flexibility we actually have.
I also like the flexibility of banking and borrowing. It will work to our benefit the next couple of years, since we cannot go in 2004 (going to Italy instead with DD's Italian class), so we are potentially planning a big family gathering in 2005. And just to prove my dad's friend wrong, we went in June of this year, but will probably go in November 2005.

I plain old like that it's Disney! Although no one or no place is perfect, by and large you cannot beat Disney for customer service. And although there may be some room complaints from time to time, the villas at all the resorts are beautiful. I could not buy into something that may turn into a seedy resort in the future. I'm also a sucker for hearing, "Welcome Home!"
 
Kansas,

I think you hit this one right on the mark! I agree with the flexibility of the DVC system -- you pick the resort, the time of year, the days of the week, the number of days, the size of the unit. While I am not a timeshare guru like some of our other DISers, it is my understanding that this is about as flexible as you can get.
 
I agree with all of the above.....but i still get a kick out of valet parking the family truckster for free!!!!!
