Since they added to and are going to add more to the AKL, we bought in...
We love Dixie Landings and have stayed there 5 times over the years. We also recently bought a Beach Club timeshare resale via the Timeshare Store, which was very easy to do.
That being said........ you can use your points to stay at any Disney hotel, including Dixie Landings (POR). The points are expensive for non DVC properties but it can be done.

If Disney devised a program around frequent weekend travelers utilizing the value and/or the moderate resorts.
With my current WDW visiting patterns the maintenance fees alone would be more then I spend per year at PORS. Factor in the buy in on top of that and the price really shoots up.
If you go to Disney for around 1 week or more per year and stay in Deluxe accomodations it lines up to a break even point in around 6-8 years. It also helps if you have a party size of 4 or less. That seems to be the model that Disney has constructed DVC's value around. However, if you are like my family with 8-12 2-4 day trips per year that always include a Saturday and Sunday at a moderate or value resort it never seems to pan out. We also have a family of 5 which throws another monkey wrench into the DVC equation as the smallest room we can fit into is a 2 bedroom villa.I don't see how you can justify DVC from a financial standpoint. I put together a quick spreadsheet that showed breakeven at year 16. Am I missing something?
they added DVC to Dixie Landings...::cough:: I mean Port Orleans: Riverside
