    Question DVC Questions

    I am thinking of getting into the Disney Vacation Club, but I have some quesitons. I would love to hear from DVC owners. First, is it safe to buy from a timeshare resale? Next, is a person who purchase through a resale, considered the same status as someone who purchases directly from Disney?

    I do not really want to spend $16000+ up front. Is it possible to start smaller and purchase additional points from a resale? Do they all have to be from the same resort? I see that some resales do not even list a resort. I am confused as to how this works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I used to have DVC in Old Key West but had to sell after a divorce

    When I sold I had to sign a gagillion legal papers, so I think it is pretty safe.

    I know you get all the same benefits / privilages. You own the DVC, just like anyone else.

    I know you can start small and add points. I believe that they can be from different resorts, but keeping them in the same resort/month will make it easier for reservation planning I think.

    I can pm you w/ the company I used, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to "advertise" it here. I can say they were very efficient, my place sold 2 days after listing.

    I loved DVC/OKW...if I ever hit it big on a contest or fall into some primo paying job it's the first splurge I'd go for! Have fun & good luck.

    Another thing to consider if you will be buying resale. Go for a WDW visit if you can and tour all of them to see what you like best.

    Why are the DVCs deeded only for a certain number of years? What happens to it after that?

    Question

    I would like to start small...say with 50 points or so and then add to it - maybe Key West. Is this possible? How do you add points once you acquire some? Sorry for all these questions.

    Or even if they took Disney GC , here, I'd like to pay with this pile of gift cards. I'll go walk around the boardwalk while you're processing them. Have a disney day!

    Hey, say a $20,000 dvc, goal to get a $50 card each month, in 33 years I'd be all set. Could scoop up a deal for all those 2042 people not renewing!

    One thing I did was finance through Disney and pay it off on my Disney credit card so I got Rewards $$!!
