  1. HOW MY FAMILY FINALLY DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BECOME DVC MEMBERS?

  2. When is the right time to buy DVC Resale? Longtime members know this question well. At one point, we all debated the pros and cons of joining. Then, we all eventually took a leap of faith and received decades of rewards for our decision. Some of you reading this are likely at a crossroads as well. You’re deciding whether you and your family will benefit from DVC membership. I’m always uncomfortable telling people how to spend their money. However, what I can do is relay my own experience. Here’s how my family finally decided it was time to become DVC members.

  3. OUR INTRODUCTION TO DVC I’m a thrill ride fan. I’ve literally written a book about how several of Disney’s attractions operate. However, when I was younger, Disney wasn’t my preferred vacation destination. Well, I should modify that statement a bit. As a kid, I was just like everyone else. In between, I did what many teens do. I temporarily grew out of my Disney phase as I matured and tried to act what seemed more adult to my mind. To satisfy my thrill-seeker needs, I went to closer theme parks like Six Flags Over Georgia and Dollywood instead. Many of my annual top 10 lists over the years included at least one Disney animated movie. Recognizing this, my older brother and his wife started talking about their annual vacation plan. They had joined the Disney Vacation Club resale, which sounded a lot like a timeshare to me.

  4. WHAT DREW ME TO DVC I was a tough sell at the time. My brother, a financially savvy individual, trumpeted several of the myriad benefits of DVC membership. Even though I sometimes write about economics or the importance of open-mindedness for a living, I didn’t listen for far too long. All frequent travelers understand the aggravation that comes from airport transportation. You must rent a car or hail a cab, neither of which is an ideal solution. Uber and Lyft hadn’t debuted yet, but they have similar issues. When you deboard a plane, you’re irritable and ready to enter vacation mode. I’ve been a travel writer for a long time, and I still cannot believe how aggravating the process is. As such, Disney hooked me from the beginning. Thanks to the glory of Magical Express, my wife and I dropped off our luggage at the airport and never worried about anything the rest of the trip.

  5. OUR FIRST DVC TRIAL VACATION

  6. Of course, I was already hooked on Disney vacations from my childhood. My better half required convincing about the trips themselves, while I needed a push on my DVC membership. During our magical first trip as a couple, we frequently debated the differences between Disney parks and other amusement parks, the latter of which emphasize thrill rides. Disney’s different in that it prioritizes theming above all else. The results speak for themselves, as Disney’s attractions tower above the competition. We decided that we were okay with trading the pure velocity of Cedar Park rides for the meticulous touches on display at Disney. Even though minor things always happen during a trip, my wife and I think about that week at Old Key West as a perfect vacation.

  7. OUR CONS LIST FOR JOINING DVC Still, joining DVC required additional considerations. After all, DVC represents a legitimate real estate purchase, a viable ownership interest that will last for decades. For us, the idea of a long-term commitment seemed like a con. The program comes with Membership Dues and an initial investment of thousands of dollars. If you don’t like it, you could get stuck. At the time, we didn’t realize that we could easily sell our DVC contract via the DVC Resale Experts. So,we fretted about what would happen if we disliked membership. We love trips to Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, too. Those are possible using membership points, which blows my mind. Hilton Head was always my favorite vacation destination on the planet. By joining DVC, I got to visit more…and for considerably less money!

  8. We went from extreme skeptics to the people who won’t shut up about the greatness of DVC. Even now, I could write about anything I want, yet I prefer to discuss Disney trips. After all, what’s better than helping others experience the Disney vacation of their dreams? That’s possible thanks to DVC membership, a purchasing decision I have never regretted since the day I joined.
