I worked towards that goal for about a year before I bought in. I really wanted to pay off my car first. Keep focused on the prize and you'll get there too! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  391.4 #6 1:56PM

How is dvc diff from reg vacation besides a bigger room? - Polynesiangirl  82.5 #51 2:01PM

DVC is similar to a time share, where you buy your accomodation. I like that once you buy it, it is yours forever. They say it will pay for itself in approx. 7 vacations. I love that you can also use it for other destinations (Paris, Tokyo, etc) that you would never be able to afford to visit otherwise! They offer small rooms or large suites, you can choose. - ncjal  116.2 #43 2:47PM

I haven't viewed the DVD yet, but read and read all the info! - DizneyGirl  353.0 #9 3:06PM

My first DVC visit, 9 nights in a deluxe studio at OKW, retails for $3600+. Crazy! The cost of my 102 points is only $752. Since I have visited Disney an average of once a year since I was born, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, it's a good value for me. It all depends on whether you will use it! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  391.4 #6 5:26PM

so I guess my best bet is to talk to a DVC person if and when the time is right for me....there is a lot to think about when it comes to something like this! - ncjal  116.2 #43 5:28PM

OK I'm speechless everybody basically said everything I was going to say. I'm a DVC member and i own 220 points in animal kingdom lodge. I love being a DVC member. U could also go to the Disney cruise. That's what I'm doing this year 3 nights 4 days in the Disney dream cruise and 3 nights and 4 days in WDW in Saratoga springs and Bay lake. - yessy  98.7 #48 9:58PM
