Sally Lovett - Oddly, Mom says they DID buy 300 points but insisted that they didn’t require that to buy-in - it just was the figure they worked out so they could do 2 weeks in a 2 bedroom back then.
You're so dang cute! I found myself smiling throughout the whole video. Yes, shoulder pads, bangs, scrunchies, comb-overs and the gold necklace on the father in the pool! The old Toon Town! The traditional ear hats were so refreshing to see. I used to order these tapes/discs when it was much more difficult to feed my Disney-desiring soul! Since we're talking DVC, isn't it amazing that the DVC billboard on Lake Buena Vista Drive has stood the test of time and is still standing today? I was looking at it when there in June in awe of how long it has lasted.
Hey Jen- love your channel. We are DVC members since 1992. YES, you got free tickets to the parks for half the amount of people each villa could sleep. So, if room slept 8, you got 4 free for length of stay, for every stay, through 1999! I believe with incentives, we paid $47/point! It’s been wonderful for our very large family.
The park passes were a HUGE selling point for us. We bought in 1993 with 190 points which was the minimum you could buy at the time. We added resale market contracts for 60 and then 50 points before the restrictions were placed on those. We bought DVC before we had a home or kids. It was the best decision we ever made. We did get a home later and a couple of kids. :-p They grew up going to DVC resorts.
Discovered Retro channel several months ago and watched this same video. As I first went to WDW in 1992, a lot of their footage is from that area. It’s nice to know my memory of the crowds back then is spot on. Oh, did anyone go to the sales presentation at OKW or DVC back in 1992 or so? It was in itself a memorable event with absolutely zero sales pressure. Sadly, we didn’t purchase until 2000. And Jen, it was the more thorough understanding of the basics and especially that the points/night can be shifted throughout the year but the total points/resort must remain the same.
Yeah, honestly, Jack? And I think you'll agree with me here . . one of my pet peeves is how little detail they give you in the presentations and there are a lot of specifics that I feel people really do need to be aware of when purchasing! It's one of the reasons I started my channel!
Jen Lefforge ...and doing a great job, I must add. I remember that at the presentation in 1992 the DID stress that the ‘perks’, i.e. free park tickets, COULD go away at any time!
My husband loves to rub in the length of stay passes he enjoyed as a kid. He spent 2 weeks in Disney every summer. They were a family of 4 staying at what is now old key west in a 2 bedroom villa. Can’t wait till we can buy our own resale contract and give our kids the same magical childhood. Grant it they can still go with gramma and grandpa who still have their old key west contract. But we still want our own :)
This is one of my favorite videos I’ve watched by you. Your reaction makes me giggle every time and the throw back to the good old days is so pure. I go back to this video over and over again.
I remember that video very well! Must have watched it 20 times before we bought in June 1993. One of the best purchases we've ever made. Park passes included until 2000. OKW still our favorite resort. Can't wait until we can take our 20 month old grandson. Thanks for the memories!!
I love this! This isn't the video that was put onto one of my Disney videos as a kid. However, I just remember as a kid thinking about how only really rich people could afford this. I am definitely not rich and far from it, but I am now a DVC member. It is about the only way that I have felt that I have "made it" in adulthood.
Our first trip to DW was in 1992 and we were hooked. We became DVC members in 1994. I want to say (without looking at the documents) the price per point was around $40. My wife and I still use our points to go to DW and now my daughter is using our membership to take her family. When people ask, I tell them not to look at DVC as an "investment." It's a way to secure a family vacation for a very long time. Just yesterday I was looking at the rack room rate for a one bedroom villa at Old Key West Resort. $400/per night in January and $600 for early November. I'm so glad we became members when we did.
Just to add something. When we became members in 1994 we always booked a one bedroom. Our children (5 and 10 year old then) would sleep on the sofa bed. All of us received free park passes for our entire stay. So, even though we only had a one bedroom, our children still received free passes. I don't know for sure, but maybe if four adults stayed in the one bedroom then they would only give the members free passes. I remember 15 years ago on a certain Disney message board me and a guy were arguing about the "inventment" of DVC. We went back and forth with numbers and figures. LOL! Then two years later he was saying he was going to join DVC after taking a tour. I just thought it was funny. I can't imagine spending the money on a Disney trip nowadays without DVC.
Did you catch the film taken at Mickey's Birthdayland near the end! We visited that land during my oldest daughter's first visit in 1990. This was very enjoyable!! Loved it. Thank you for sharing.
We bought DVC in 1993 sight unseen as soon as it was available to buy in our state. It was the best decision we made! We used to go every other year for 10 days. The 2 Bdrm villa was bigger than our house!
Awwww I remember seeing this as an info-mercial and my 11 year old self was like MAMA DADDY WE GOTTA GO - they laughed and we went to Six Flags Over TX instead because that was 24 mins away from home LOL
This was awesome!! As a new DVC member I loved seeing this. Also we have stayed at OKW so it's neat to see it at the beginning. Thanks for another great video!!
My parents bought the first year and we got 10 years of 4 passes everything we stayed. it was crazy they still have it and use their points to do some many other vacations then just disney
I joined DVC 10 years ago for $99 per point which was a great deal at the time. No Park passes, but there were 5 in our party, so he gave us 25 Fast Passes for joining. We were trilled!
I love how they keep talking about what all you get if you stay in January. Once upon a time, that was the off peak season. Unlike the last decade. Even in 2020, it was slammed!
I will now refer to life now as “The Great Unpleasantness”. 😂 So enjoyed this video Jen! Would you still choose Key West over Saratoga? They both look like really good values.
Oh my gosh I am seriously a huge fan of watching old school Disney promo videos so I was excited when I saw this video pop up. It's funny how I know consider 1993 'old school' YES to the shoulder pads! That's good to know about Old Key West! Oh man, if they still included free passes I'd have bought in already. I get goosebumps too lol. This promo video was RETRO FABULOUS!!!!!
we went to the DVC 'show' in 1994 and boy do we regret not buying in. We have been to Disney about 20 times since then (from the UK) just couldn't afford it at the time.
We purchased in 1993, we had the passes available for every stay through 1999, though when Animal Kingdom came along it was not included as a park we could use the complimentary passes on. We joined in the 3 mountains in logo era, there was no pool slide and very few family photos on Olivia’s walls, but it was perfect for our growing family! We love it there!
Thanks for commenting because the fact that AK was not included for the complimentary passes is something I would have never known. So interesting :-) And thank you Jen for creating this video.
We joined in 1995. We took a quick Memorial Day trip in order to take our 7 yr old son for his first time to Disney. We stayed at OKW. We bought 350 points on the spot for $49/pt. It took us 10 yrs to pay it off. Little did our son know this would be his first of 25 trips! We heard about the Annual Pass incentive but it was already gone by ‘95. Loved your comments!
Loved this reaction video you posted. I used this same video to help recreate my guest bedroom as a Disney hotel room when I had my virtual Disney day.
What a nice retro video. What is really sad is that the 270 point example would have likely been under $15,000 back then. Now it would likely be $40,000 or more.
Yea, we love our DVC, but our one constant regret is that we didn’t buy more points when we joined in 99 and the price was still under $70 per point. Had we known where the prices would go, I am sure we would have bought at least twice as many. 😥
Chris DeFouw well I can honestly say that in 1993 we had only been married 3 years and could barely make rent, so no way DVC could have been an option but yes had we only known!
$51 What! actually not bad, We bought in at Animal Kingdom in 2012 at I think $107. Things have got alot more expensive in the last 10 years. Hmmm. Great Video Thank you.
Member since 1992, Yes, we had free park entry until the end of 1999...the passes were limited to 1/2 the room capacity, so studios and 1 bewdroom got 2 passes, 2 n\bedroom units got 4 passes and Grand Villas got 6 passes.
Fabulous. Perma Smile here throughout. We both went "baby....awww" LOL. I'm always fully aware that Disney is manipulating my emotions, but I'm totally OK with it!! Thanks for sharing this.
This was fantastic! Yes, do more! I especially liked 'jump on this boat and we'll kiss.' Hahahaha. Called it! And yes, it's always that ending song where they get ya!
Too cute! She looks like if she stood up she would have on some black bike shorts with her blazer and shoulder pads. Saw a vlog Retro put up from 1970’s. First visit was in 1977 when I was going into 8th grade. Geez 🙄 the fashions, hairstyles and the low crowds not to mention what the Magic Kingdom ( the only park then) looked like. 💖
I am almost certain this used to play on the resort televisions because it looks VERY familiar! We never bought because it just wasn't financially logical. Loved watching you dance to the Disney musical schmaltz.
I loved this thank you for posting, it took me back to my family trip in 1994 where we met Barbie at Epcot and the Ninja Turtles at MGM, times sure have changed
Omg...this is excellent! Cracks me up. There is one scene where the kids are wearing striped shirts, overall type things and oversized hair bows. I may have a picture or two of myself at Disney in almost the exact same outfit.
1993, I was 11 years old and had never been to WDW but loved the commercial of Mickey waving from the castle or from Spaceship Earth from Wonderful World of Disney. I finally got to go in 1999 on a school trip and now have taken my own family several times. Had to miss this years trip but planning a huge one for next year.
My wife and I have gone to WDW at least once a year since its opening, I can remember going to the DVC orientation session in the early 90's and seeing this video. Like you, however, buying into DVC was not possible at that time. We have thought about it from time to time as the years have passed and may do it yet - who knows?!
Please do more reactions this had me smiling. I remember growing up in Canada and being jealous of Americans because they got Disney World and Disneyland commercials. When I was old enough to be on the computer I would order the travel DVDs
Using points for non WDW vacations seems to be the pre-curser of Adventures By Disney in Disney speak ABD. Also before pre-dates early availability for DVC on DCL (Disney Cruise Lines). So many options now. If it was in the cards my DVC home would be the Villas at the Grand Floridian.
I wish we were able to buy in 1998 when we first visited we waited till 2013 after many visits from the uk we love it but cannot visit this year due to 😭😭😭😭events here and in Florida but hopefully next year we are on track and with the banked points off this year more of us can go next year
Oh good glad you were able to sort out this years points, Norma! And yes you must go back as soon as it’s possible and reasonable - your husband would want that for you all!!❤️❤️❤️
As a family member of an RCI member I would not call RCI ‘really good’ or ‘lots of options’. Most available resorts are old and dated in places you probably don’t want to go. We have had a few good resorts in off seasons but that is not what they make it out to be.
Yes please do more reaction videos. This was fun. Those shoulder pads oy! LOL. Congrats on 15K subscribers. We've made a reservation for Jan 25 thru Feb 2nd. Fingers crossed that covid will be on the decline then.
@@JenLefforge It did play in the hotel rooms. There were also "sales booths" at Downtown Disney and the Parks to sign you up for the tour. We took the tour on the last day of our trip. We purchased that day and extended our trip by one day to stay at the DVC resort.
How fun! Disney does build well. And they really do take care of their properties. They were in need of updates but, really think of how many people have used the rooms? I really wished we took the time for a tour in 2010 but, we wanted to spend our time in the parks. And paying cash in 2017 was a much better idea.
They showed a lot less of the theme parks as they do in the current video today. Today they show a lot more of how you can easily get to magic kingdom just "steps away" from your DVC villa lol. The inclusion of chip and dale was pretty cute tho!

Yep. My parents bought in opening year... free park passes for the whole family for 10 YEARS. 😲😲😲
Same, it was a huge perk for them. My dad still misses those passes.
Whoa! 10 years!
Wow! I heard tht you had to buy a minimum of about 300 points to buy in back then....do you know if that was the case?
Sally Lovett - Oddly, Mom says they DID buy 300 points but insisted that they didn’t require that to buy-in - it just was the figure they worked out so they could do 2 weeks in a 2 bedroom back then.
I really miss this era of Disney marketing. So wholesome and warm in feeling.

Love their videos and so glad you enjoyed mine!!
This was amazing! Lol my first trip to Disney was in 1995 when I was a kid so this was super nostalgic. The early 90s fashion is fantastic 👏

"1993 time machine man" 😂😂😂 I cackled. This video was fantastic
Celene, I’m so glad you liked it!!
I'm embarrassed at how many times I've watched that promo lol. I'm so jealous that I wasn't an adult then so I could be an OG.
Carla I was an adult then but even at $15k there was no way we could afford it!

How lovely and how many wonderful memories are still ahead, Scott! Thanks for watching!
My favorite way to self soothe is by watching wdw infomercials/vacation planning videos! Cuuuuute video 😍
I'm so glad you liked it!!!
This video was so fun! "jump on this boat and we’ll kiss” 😂😂😂 Would love to see more reaction videos!
I'm working on some ideas, Caitlyn, so thank you!

I’m enjoying this so much. I loved the 90’s!

Mine, too, Jennifer!
This was awesome!! As a new DVC member I loved seeing this. Also we have stayed at OKW so it's neat to see it at the beginning. Thanks for another great video!!
Oh I’m so glad you liked it, Nichole!! And yes OKW has changed a lot but yet not at all. We just love it there - WELCOME HOME!
Great video! The point value was $88 in 1998. I don't remember any park passes with our DVC in 1998. Thanks for sharing 😍
Prices shot up fast even then!! Glad you enjoyed it, Pamela!
I just bought OKW resale at $89/point lol
We were there in 1996 and it looked just like this. That was awesome!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Right?! Mind blowing! I’m also dying to know what this World Of Dining program was.
Jen vibin' at 13:29 is me this whole video.
😂😂😂😂
Awe...so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
I will now refer to life now as “The Great Unpleasantness”. 😂 So enjoyed this video Jen! Would you still choose Key West over Saratoga? They both look like really good values.

Somebody pointed out to me recently that the 80's are as far from today as the 40's were from the 80's. That thought was disturbing.😂😂😂
Jen Lefforge not gunna lie, I had never thought of that and yeah, I’d say disturbing is the right word 🤣
I grew up in S. Florida so I gotta say, a lot of nostalgia for the room decor. It certainly is 90’s Florida. 😂 Such a fun video!
Yes, very Golden Girls but I love that!
Oh my gosh I loved this!! I even teared up haha
Yup, I got emotional, too! I get it!
Awesome video! As someone who recently bought in, I wish they offered half of what they used to in this promo.
Matthew seriously. I completely agree with you!!
Oh my god I was born in 1993. I just turned 27. This is amazing 😂😂 why didn’t my parents become members then haha
I wish we had become members back then! Truly! Thanks for watching, Claudia!
Still love all your videos. So authentic and real. Thankyou.
Thank you so much, Gillian!
we went to the DVC 'show' in 1994 and boy do we regret not buying in. We have been to Disney about 20 times since then (from the UK) just couldn't afford it at the time.
Goosebumps. Every video they make. Don’t even mind since so few things in life bring those little bits of joy!

Such amazing memories!! I love that!
Tickets basically paid for the maintenance fees? Perhaps even for part of the contract itself?
@@jcbnyc2009 Yes absolutely - although tickets weren't as expensive back then either so I'd have to run the numbers.
Thanks for commenting because the fact that AK was not included for the complimentary passes is something I would have never known. So interesting :-)
And thank you Jen for creating this video.
We joined in 1995. We took a quick Memorial Day trip in order to take our 7 yr old son for his first time to Disney. We stayed at OKW. We bought 350 points on the spot for $49/pt.

Wow $49 per point!! I wish I could've been aware. I joined 2011 Aulani at $120 per point.
Omg this was so fun to watch! MGM studios ❤️ seeing the number without the area code is so weird haha now I want to go even more!
I know! It made me kind of emotional!
It was so fun watching this with you!
I should do another one as it was really fun to film. Thanks, Jessi!
Loved this reaction video you posted. I used this same video to help recreate my guest bedroom as a Disney hotel room when I had my virtual Disney day.
"Real Estate interest," and 2042 sounded a lot of further away than it does today. And the 50% rule was probably because it was the only resort. Cute.
Great point!! And lol yup - 2042 is just around the corner!🤣❤️
What a nice retro video. What is really sad is that the 270 point example would have likely been under $15,000 back then. Now it would likely be $40,000 or more.
Chris seriously crazy, right?? It’s gone up way more than just inflation!
Yea, we love our DVC, but our one constant regret is that we didn’t buy more points when we joined in 99 and the price was still under $70 per point. Had we known where the prices would go, I am sure we would have bought at least twice as many. 😥
Chris DeFouw well I can honestly say that in 1993 we had only been married 3 years and could barely make rent, so no way DVC could have been an option but yes had we only known!
2042 sounded so far away in 1993!
LOL seriously like one million years away
Wow !! So much fun to watch !!Thank you sooo much for showing us ! ♥️😉💥
My pleasure, Sheri! It was fun right??
Yes, You got park passes with each stay. We joined 1995.
Such an amazing perk!!! Thanks, Pamela!
I got goosebumps too! So many fun retro Disney memories. Anyone know the name of the narrator? I know I've heard him before but can't place where.
Wish it was still a perk
$51 What! actually not bad, We bought in at Animal Kingdom in 2012 at I think $107. Things have got alot more expensive in the last 10 years. Hmmm. Great Video Thank you.
Member since 1992, Yes, we had free park entry until the end of 1999...the passes were limited to 1/2 the room capacity, so studios and 1 bewdroom got 2 passes, 2 n\bedroom units got 4 passes and Grand Villas got 6 passes.
What an awesome perk! You’ve seen a lot of changes I’m sure!
Fabulous. Perma Smile here throughout. We both went "baby....awww" LOL. I'm always fully aware that Disney is manipulating my emotions, but I'm totally OK with it!! Thanks for sharing this.
It’s ok as long as you know, right?!🤣🤣❤️❤️🤣
That was fun,thanks Jen👍🙂
My pleasure, Freddie!
Cannot express how much my sentimental and nostalgic heart loved this video. Such a unique and all around amazing idea for a video!
Wasn't it fun, Kelsey??? I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!! We all need a little escape to the early 90's about now;).

Great video!
Right?!?! I loved it so much! Thanks for watching, LeeAnn!
I love this retro look-back. We just bought a 150 point fully loaded resale contract at OKW (waiting to officially close). I can’t wait to stay there!
Welcome home! That's wonderful! Maybe I'll see you in the neighborhood;).
Awwww Jen you are too cute. But sign me up too. Smiles. Thanks for sharing!
Omg...this is excellent! Cracks me up. There is one scene where the kids are wearing striped shirts, overall type things and oversized hair bows. I may have a picture or two of myself at Disney in almost the exact same outfit.
Yeah the fashion did not go unnoticed, Kathryn! Classic early 90’s.🤣❤️
That’s so cute! What a fun video.
It was fun to film, Natalie, so I'm super glad you enjoyed it!
1993, I was 11 years old and had never been to WDW but loved the commercial of Mickey waving from the castle or from Spaceship Earth from Wonderful World of Disney. I finally got to go in 1999 on a school trip and now have taken my own family several times. Had to miss this years trip but planning a huge one for next year.
Thank you so much for the shout-out! The free tickets would’ve sold me if I was adulting back then. Lisa’s hair is fab.
She is rocking that do. And thank you for the suggestion!
13 year old me so would have bought DVC after watching this infomercial!!
Bwahaha right?!?!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could show you our new puppy’s reaction to this. I don’t know if it was you or the music or the old video but Dolly was having a conversation
I enjoyed this video. It's great to see how far DVC and technology have come.
Isn’t it fascinating? Thank you for watching!
OMG that was awesome! What a great price and perks offered!
Super fun and seriously to have that now would be amazing!
Alright, my wife and I have decided we want to be friends with Jen. Thanks for the great content!
Awwww❤️❤️❤️
My wife and I have gone to WDW at least once a year since its opening, I can remember going to the DVC orientation session in the early 90's and seeing this video. Like you, however, buying into DVC was not possible at that time. We have thought about it from time to time as the years have passed and may do it yet - who knows?!
This was so fun!😍🥰 I would love more reaction videos. I love the nostalgic feeling! Maybe a reaction on old Disney commercials.
Thanks, Danielle!! It was fun to film too!❤️
Please do more reactions this had me smiling. I remember growing up in Canada and being jealous of Americans because they got Disney World and Disneyland commercials. When I was old enough to be on the computer I would order the travel DVDs
Thank you for watching, Megan!! The old commercials bring back so many memories don’t they?
WOW!!! $51 a point! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
World of Dining is now Tables in Wonderful I believe.
Tables in Wonderland, I believe. But you were close. :)
This was such fun. What a great idea. Simpler times.
My husband and I bought in 1993 230 points
This makes me miss Disney so much
I know! We went as a couple around that time and this video is just so perfect!
Using points for non WDW vacations seems to be the pre-curser of Adventures By Disney in Disney speak ABD. Also before pre-dates early availability for DVC on DCL (Disney Cruise Lines). So many options now. If it was in the cards my DVC home would be the Villas at the Grand Floridian.
Now I wanna know where Lisa is now...like, is she the VP of DVC operations? lol
I wanted a whole where are they now segment too, Tammy! Lol!
I wish we were able to buy in 1998 when we first visited we waited till 2013 after many visits from the uk we love it but cannot visit this year due to 😭😭😭😭events here and in Florida but hopefully next year we are on track and with the banked points off this year more of us can go next year
Oh good glad you were able to sort out this years points, Norma! And yes you must go back as soon as it’s possible and reasonable - your husband would want that for you all!!❤️❤️❤️
Jen Lefforge “The Great Unpleasantness.”
As a family member of an RCI member I would not call RCI ‘really good’ or ‘lots of options’. Most available resorts are old and dated in places you probably don’t want to go. We have had a few good resorts in off seasons but that is not what they make it out to be.
Yeah I’ve never done it so that’s good feedback!
There were other point based timeshares besides Disney. We had two of them.
Most timeshares are point based today.
This was a fun video and I’m sure it makes you miss OKW! Don’t we all wish we would have bought those 270 back then!
Seriously, Tawnya, totally agree and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!
Yes please do more reaction videos. This was fun. Those shoulder pads oy! LOL. Congrats on 15K subscribers. We've made a reservation for Jan 25 thru Feb 2nd. Fingers crossed that covid will be on the decline then.
Yes fingers crossed for sure!
This is good Stuff Jen!! I LOVE It!!
Thank you so much! It was fun to film!
Great job
I miss OKW!!!
So much same!
I wonder if this played in the hotel rooms and that was why they did not need the area code.
Maybe! And we didn’t use area codes in state then
@@JenLefforge It did play in the hotel rooms. There were also "sales booths" at Downtown Disney and the Parks to sign you up for the tour. We took the tour on the last day of our trip. We purchased that day and extended our trip by one day to stay at the DVC resort.
How fun! Disney does build well. And they really do take care of their properties. They were in need of updates but, really think of how many people have used the rooms?
I really wished we took the time for a tour in 2010 but, we wanted to spend our time in the parks. And paying cash in 2017 was a much better idea.
Totally agree and OKW looks amazing for it's age!
They showed a lot less of the theme parks as they do in the current video today. Today they show a lot more of how you can easily get to magic kingdom just "steps away" from your DVC villa lol. The inclusion of chip and dale was pretty cute tho!
