New Good to Go days - Oct 7 and 9

But unfortunately 20 nights at port turn into a pumpkin after the nights are over. There is no longterm value/benefit that offsets the normal inflation factors. You start over again next year and all subsequent years.

There is also no contract that says I have to give Mickey another $5k next year.

I’m not sure 5k even gets you 20 nights at DVC…. But even if it did - either way you spent money for 20 nights at Disney.

I know people who love DVC - and that’s great. I’m not against it - but I don’t see the appeal either.

The appeal is and was it was a really good deal.

And if it seems like I’m speaking in the past tense…That’s intentional. It’s no longer that.

But you will see a lot of comments over time that “I’m smart cause I’m not locked in…”

We already got one here right on queue…

And that may be entirely true.

But paying rack or even “great discount” for rack rooms at their hyper inflated rates is not a solid choice either…if someone is a yearly or multiple time a year frequenter. A lot of people fall in that bucket.

I did all that same number crunching/hemming and hawing over 20 years ago and begrudgingly committed (I was behind the scenes and saw a lot of the nuts and bolts of dvc…so my skepticism was well earned)…
And I have to say…it has worked. I’m as shocked as anyone

Is it repetitive and kinda old hat? Sure…but my kids did a significant amount of growing up in lake buena vista (and Other spots)…and probably over the level I really should have been able to swing at various times. Worth it. And I don’t miss Caribbean not at’all

May I ask where you are a DVC owner at? And I am legitimately curious, given that you have so many criticisms of today's Disney but are also still an owner, how often do you actually visit these days?

I'm there all next week. Turns out I didn't need park reservations Monday - Thursday. Obviously, we have to make them if we're farther away because we don't know which days will be "Good to go". It's really pointless, for me, anyway as I already have dining reservations and LLMP and LLSP already scheduled. The Good to Go Days really only benefit locals who just want to show up.

You mean those freeloading good-for-nothings who spend zero money (which is totally false but TDO relies on them to prop up the parks when their new target audience doesn't show up in the numbers they need or when they don't spend like the quarterlies require)?

not really…. They can just show up anyways. The parks are hardly ever at capacity. They just have to make a reservation before scanning in if it’s before 2
