So like several others, I am looking into DVC. I’ll do a little background first.
When I was younger I use to go to Disney pretty often, as I got older it stop, basically went other places. That all change a couple years ago. My wife’s stepfather is a DVC member and we did a family trip couple years ago there and stayed at Saratoga. Well life hit and I had a son, who is currently 2. Right before his 2nd birthday they took us to Disney again and we stayed at Animal Kingdom (mainly for my son, but we loved it!). Well after seeing how much my son loved Disney it got me to think of DVC. I also now have another little one on the way so I see Disney being something we do.
Some have asked why get DVC if the father in-law has it, and it’s mainly because I don’t want to assume they will always have us go with them.
So with that it’s time to consider doing this. I have been reading a lot and watching a lot of YouTube videos (who doesn’t anymore). Currently I do not know what would be the best home resort considering we only stayed at 2 and honestly liked both (minus animal kingdom being far). Also points I am trying figure as well. We know we would want to do a once a year trip with a stay of 7 days. I can’t say what time frame currently be best because right now I can say whenever, but that will change when the kids go to school. Also points would have to be enough for two kids and adults.
How did everyone figure there stuff out? Did you rent points to try out all DVC resorts then make decision or just pulled the trigger on whatever was best deal? With points I did the questionnaire on Disney vacation club site and it suggested 200, does that seem good or do more/less?
