We will never sell our DVC!
If looking to use another timeshare for non Disney travel...what have you guys experienced and liked. How do you like your ownership? What brand?
Ty just looking into the future!
Our family owns in the Wyndham TS group, and they’re fine. But if I were buying today, I’d look at Marriott. I think that overall, their resorts are nicer.

I used to have Hilton and Worldmark. Worldmark has tons of locations and is a point based system like DVC. The downside is that they are more apartment type living without any hotel services and lower quality overall. The amount of locations made it very nice, though.
I can barely remember my Hilton use because I mostly used my home resort, but I think it was point based, also. I was able to trade in the system for Hawaii and Vegas. I *think* it had a minimum stay of 3 nights, but I could be wrong. It gave very low cash night rates for my home resort. I liked it because it had slight hotel type things (onsite restaurant, etc). Downside was a very heavy push for an owner's update (sales push) anytime we stayed there.

First, a timeshare might not be the right answer for your "other" travel. Second, if it is, the right fit is going to be entirely dependent on what you are looking for and what matters to you.
