Just bought through you guys and saved over $15,000 for a 150 point contract at SSR. Watched your videos for almost 2 years before making the jump and wouldn’t have done it any other way. Just booked our 1st 7 night stay as a new DVC member. Thank you Dani and the rest of your team!
This episode really hit home. I remember being the “target audience” of this video at one point in time. I remember the questions I had and how nervous I was. I remember watching episodes and episodes of the DVC show and fell in love with everything DCV was. Thanks for this information and thanks for bringing the magic into this episode. This one felt special.
This was a great beginners show and you’re all right; there is just a feeling owning DVC that’s hard to describe. Seeing the turnstile light turn purple, hearing, “Welcome Home,” and knowing we don’t have to do it all because we’ll be back removed so much stress or FOMO.
Thank you, Panda, for mentioning the intangible. It has felt different from our first day stepping into a resort owning DVC and that first time we left with NO hotel bill.
What a great show! We have been DVC members since 2005. At first I thought eh, I've been a member to long to get anything out of this video. Then decided to watch it anyway. The way you guys handled it was perfect for someone considering buying, or new to DVC to learn a lot. As a matter of fact I am going to forward the link to friends of ours. You four made a great team and I always enjoy watching your shows.
I do agree that I wish I knew about DVC before I joined in 2017 because I definitely would have saved thousands! We've been going to Disney World since my daughter was 2 years old & she is 21 now!
It's funny, how much and how long it took me to buy my points. And I still bought 50 points less than I should have.😂😂 Thank you for this video as usual❤
I stretch my points by booking a duo studio standard view on the new Disneyland villas and only on special occasions like a birthday or anniversary trip I will book a garden room duo studio and my points go along way. I have to get used to a duo studio with no kitchen sink we like a sink to watch our plates and tumblers.
As I understand how the DVC currently operates, I would NEVER purchase a membership. Again, my understanding may be inaccurate but here’s what I would want from a DVC membership: I am more than willing to purchase enough points for two annual, ten-day US park stays and one seven-day cruise but I absolutely want you to guarantee me that the resorts (Saratoga Springs one-bedroom villa) and cruise stateroom (one-bedroom concierge with balcony) are available. When I am available. And, once I am on-property or onboard, I receive a deluxe experience worthy of the purchase price and annual fees. Otherwise, why should I bother? I can book a DVC stay without being a member and Regent Cruises offers a superb (and inclusive) vacation experience without the ludicrous fixed dining times on Disney. DVC, in my particular case, needs to dramatically change otherwise they aren’t gonna see my membership.
Derek is such a delightful part of this show. Is energy is infectious.
I have addonitis! We just purchased 300 points at Grand Floridian. This is the third time we added on. DVC has paid for itself over and over again.

Thanks Panda, loved the"Young Frankenstein" reference, my fave comedy!

We love our DVC original points 125 now we have 400. In the last year we have taken 7 trips. Would never have taken a vacation otherwise

Welcome Home. Now you can buy an add on contract and take your time to get a good deal!!!
Great summary!
Loving this, I need to know how difficult it would be to secure a room at the 7 month window.
Just do it!! 🎉
Hmmm the dogs make a good point.

Ha, I still own at Villa Roma and your sister is correct, it's gone so down hill.
Having to be stuck with the same week every year meant I was out for those timeshares.
