So I've done a lot of reading and I still need some advice.....
I was very against DVC b/c I just didn't think it was worth the cost, I didn't see the benefits, etc. However, on our last trip we did the tour and they sold me much more than I had been. We are close to making the leap but I wanted to seek some more advice.
Okay so we are 2- 28 years currently without kids, my husband is a die hard Disney Fan, and if it were up to him would vacation no where else. I on the other hand would like to go some other places but we always seem to end up back at DW. We have been 5 times in the last 6 years and stayed at all levels at this point, one value, one moderate, two deluxe. I seem to have the more expensive taste than my hubby and like the deluxes (mostly because I love the themeing there) but would stay at any level (even value). He likes the price tag of the moderates and he came to a realization after we had to change in the middle of our last trip (after being stuck there due to weather) that he just isn't a value resort kinda guy anymore.
We most likely will not visit any more than every other year or every third year (if we need to bank the points to big family trips).
I would like to buy DVC with the intention to use it to go on some of their cruises, go to Hawaii, fulfill my dream to go to all the Disney Worlds/Lands around the world.
My question is....is it worth it to purchase knowing you plan to use it at some of their other locations/destinations?
Also I was my goal in my lifetime to stay in all the DW resorts and this would very much hinder that (as I've only stayed at 2 of the non-DVC resorts so far) and also the hotel I most want to stay at in my life (Poly) is not a DVC. I know I can stay at all of them not using my points sometime or use the points (but it is so inefficient to use them at non-DVC resorts). So another part of my question is do you ever feel restricted to where you can stay (even though you are being restricted to the nicest resorts)?
Sorry so long but thank you for your help!
