RickEff said:PS - I also believe they are currently running a promotion that if you buy at least 130 points (if you're new you have to buy a minimum of 150) that they will give you an annual pass for free. That may have expired now though.
Caseyis8 said:Okay, now I am completely lost. You mean that you have to buy park tickets separately everytime you go down there when you are a DVC member?
Caseyis8 said:Okay, now I am completely lost. You mean that you have to buy park tickets separately everytime you go down there when you are a DVC member? That is just plain stupid. I am an accountant and I have be really racking my brain to make buying into this time share make sense, especially since not only do they want you to pay upwards of fifteen thousand dollars to join but they also have yearly dues, now you are telling me that you don't even receive theme park tickets with the room? I really can not imagine how this makes sense to people. If I were ever going to buy a timeshare in Florida it would make a lot more sense to buy one by the ocean or even in Orlando, but not on Disney property. Do you at least receive 150 points every year, or do they charge you more each year? :brick:
Caseyis8 said:I am sorry. I did not mean to say that the DVC is stupid, I meant to say that I believe that if you are willing to pay almost twenty thousand dollars on a vacation destination that they should at least include the theme park tickets with it. I just think that there are definately good and bad aspects to every type of time share. I was seriously considering investing into the DVC, but I truely was shocked that members are still required to purchase tickets.
I didn't think you came across as rude or anything negative at all. Don't sweat it.Caseyis8 said:You are correct in saying that if you ever want to sell your DVC points you will make your money back. Plus, in a way it will be like you received all of your vacations for free, or really cheap, then. I am sorry that I came across as rude last night. I was just having a bad day. I would love to buy into the DVC, I just really wish that the tickets were included. Do you receive any special sales on tickets or dining?

Caseyis8 said:Man, that makes the plan sound really great. I would like to buy at the new one(especially since that is the only one that Disney is offering), but they want 100/point. I saw on the resale market that you can buy a lot of points at one of the older clubs for as little as 70/point. Which would you guys recommend? I know that the new one would not expire as soon, but I do not know if I will still want DVC when I am in my twilight years. Then again, I am sure our son would gladly take them. He is only eight years old now so he could definately vacation at Disney a lot.
