DVC is Awesome. You buy points and use them when you want. You can use it at any Disney destination. You can book 11 months Out for your home resort ( the protery you buy at, our is saratoga Speings ) 7 months else where Depending on where you by you can have it up to 50 years. The more points you buy the longer your stay can be based on accommodations. ( studio 1 or 2 bedrooms or tree house vilkas - 5disneylovers  343.6 #11 6:21PM

It's expensive. you don't get any of the advertised discounts as a member ( like the free dining) The house keeping is limited not daily like the hotels. You can deed your timeshare to your children. So much stuff. We are a family of 5 and have 346 point we go once a year We need more points to go more often lol. Hope this help. - 5disneylovers  343.6 #11 6:24PM

http://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/about/beyond-timeshare/ You should take a tour which is about an hour give or take. They are not pushy and you'll get fast passes and gift cards for your time. DVC is well worth it for us! - Jalex239  379.8 #7 6:51PM

I just joined a couple months ago and will be going "home" for the first time this October! I have gone to DL or WDW an average of once a year since I was born and did not see that changing anytime soon. I ran the numbers (very important to do) and decided it would work for me. Do your research and run the numbers based on your situation. Only you know if it is a good thing for you. - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  395.4 #6 7:39PM
