We took a DVC tour about a year and a half ago just to get a gift card, and while the rooms look gorgeous, I am admittedly quite cheap (like paying less than $90 for a night at All-Star Music cheap). However, we recently returned from a split-stay where we had a gorgeous HGV 1 bedroom (in exchange for going to their vacation club presentation), followed by a room at All-Star Movies. We have 2 preschool-aged kids and felt so cramped for space. Plus, I see how the prices have increased since I first booked on-property in 2010. I never thought I'd seriously be considering a timeshare, but it is looking like it could be an option, not necessarily to save money, but to vacation more comfortably.
My husband really liked the HGVC, but I said if we really were serious about a vacation club/timeshare, we need to give Disney another look. We also have an RV and enjoy Ft. Wilderness, so we only spend about 3 to 4 nights in a Disney-area hotel each year, and it is usually in January.
How many DVC points would we realistically need for a family of 4? The 125 pts advertised direct is out of the budget. Is resale the only way to go for smaller contracts? We have no real interest in Riviera resort, other than that the Skyliner is cool. Is SSR going to be the most economical option?
Thanks for the info!
