    Congratulations!! My family has had DVC for 15 years now and it was such a good decision for us. I’m so glad to see you guys decided to join as well. I really do think it was a perfect decision for your way you do Disney. So, welcome!

    I’m so happy for you. I own at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Aulani, and Riviera. I’ve been a member since 2011. I bought in when I was only 23 and have loved every minute of being a member. Welcome to the Club!

    My family has been a part of the DVC family for 15+ years, and even though we don’t go to the Disney parks as much as we used to, we still use up all our points every year with Disney’s partnership with Interval & formally RCI to travel across the country and world! Welcome Home Mouselets!!

    Best decision ever! Bought 200 at boardwalk in 2017 and a few smaller contracts since then (total 295). Feel I’ve already gotten my money’s worth! Don’t forget about using the points at Aulani!!

    Welcome Home! You will LOVE this decision. Members since 1992. Parents Started at Old Key West. Added on over the years at Saratoga Springs. Then we added on with them at Grand Floridian, and Riviera Resort. My parents live in a 2BR at OKW for 6 weeks in the winter…with so many more points to spare for all of us! One of the best family decisions ever. The investment into deluxe accommodations for the current & future generations is invaluable.

    How exciting! We bought DVC at the Riviera in 2021 and added on more points last month. It’s worked so amazing for our family, we love staying deluxe and need more space than one room so it made so much sense for us! We will never look back! Welcome home✨🫶🏼

  • @MrShutterbug321
    @MrShutterbug321 3 дня назад

    Our story is almost the same! We had no plans to buy DVC when we stayed there, and now we have 3 contracts at 3 resorts! We didn't even know what it was, and certainly didn't think that it would be for us, and now love it so much that we'll almost certainly buy more. BTW, the Bonus perks made little difference to us, so all of our contracts are resale, at about 40% less than buying direct.

    so exciting! We have been members since 2015 and it has been a great choice for us. My home resorts are VGF, Boardwalk and Polynesian. If you want a big room - like grand villa - then keep enough points in the same home resort to reserve it at the 11 month window. We go as a family of 10 so we stay at grand villas once a year. second trips are sometimes at Vero or Hilton Head villas

    We were DVC owners. My parents and I bought in back in 2002 when I was a cast member and we got a huge discount. The benefits are amazing. My dad used the bank,use, borrow points to take my mom on a Disney cruise for their 50th (2008). My dad sold our points when my mom passed in 2015. I so wished I had convinced him to keep it because it was paid off and we only would have had the annual dues. My goal is to find a way to buy in again to will to my children.

    Oh how wonderful!!!! You both deserve it! ❤ my niece is getting married near Disney. I have wanted to go my whole life (my mom too!) it’s just like being in a dream! I never dreamed it would be so expensive, we are lucky and can fly down and back for the ceremony! But I wish so much I could see the inside of the magic kingdom sooooo much! Please bank it in your memories and love it dearly! You are both so cute and seem so happy!!! Please enjoy every single second and keep uploading videos so people like my mom and I can watch and feel like we are there!❤❤❤❤ definitely subscribed! I love what you are saying, but 150 for a flight is ATON of money for us.

  • @jill8542

    I also did a spreadsheet and couldn’t make it work for us. The yearly fee plus the contract costs per year vs. renting points just didn’t make sense for our large family. But congratulations to you guys! I’ve stayed at those OKW 2 bedrooms and they are NICE. Enjoy

    Congrats, but I think there might be some confusion about your first contract needing to be direct… there is no such rule or law, etc that makes buying direct FIRST any different then buying direct later. You just need to own 150 direct points to get the perks, regardless of home resort or if you buy the first, 2nd, third or 12th. :)

    Congrats! I want DVC but my husband will NOT have it, I think I’d have to break out a spread sheet of my normal annual savings (excel is his love language). Maybe one day. My problem is I love club level, I wouldn’t be able to give that up, but I come about 6 times a year for the last 5 years so it totally makes sense. OKW 2 bedrooms are great though, so much space, and a full set (not stacked) washer & dryer. We rented points there 2 summers ago and it was so great at the end of a busy trip. We had been in a 1 bedroom at riviera (also rented), and stackable was nice, but it was so much space it was amazing.

    • @hhprogressiveconstruction1140
      @hhprogressiveconstruction1140 Год назад

      We just stayed at Animal Kingdom lodge and spoke with a DVC women there . There selling for Riviera cause it’s the longest out in contracts . At $217 a point and $8.50 cent a point for fees a year it adds up fast . The times a year we like to go are high in points . We’re taking direct like 300 points at a cost of 65k is a cookie . I hate to buy the minimum points of 150 and stay at a studio room .
