Not yet but I am committed to at least doing the tour this trip. I am not sure if we want to invest the type of money necessary yet.

We do travel to WDW approx. every 3 years and this trip we are spending $6000US on accomodation but that is for 23 days including tickets and dining.

How cost effective do you find it?

Hi

Travelling to Disney once/twice a year is great, and being able to stay at the best resorts is even better, the Boardwalk Villas a wonderful, in addition the ability to use the points on the cruise line, and some wonderful upscale resorts is wonderful. There are many benefits I received which is great, not to mention the great friends we have met along the way. The way I look at it is that I can spend $10,000 on accomodation each year, $10,000 can buy another 100 points, for a week at Saratoga it is 95 points..........not bad..............

Disney is our main vacation spot as well as Vero and Hilton Island Head so it is pretty good.

All the best

Its not the accomodation cost that would kill me - its the airfares. Our airfares for August were the cheapest I could fing at $1950 per adult so for the four of us we are looking at $7000 just there. Plus that only gets me to the west coast!

I can see maybe being someone who buys enough points for 1 week per year and going for three weeks every three years - by carrying over one week and drawing on week in advance.

I have heard that resale may be the way to go.

We joined DVC in 1999, 700 points at the Boardwalk Villas, the best money ever spent
