I'll be staying at Pop Century next week. I was actually surprised to receive a mailing with a tour offer for a $50 Disney eGift card, especially since all of my stays have been at moderate, value, or Swan/Dolphin hotels... and I thought that DVC was for people who paid for Deluxe-style accommodations.
I'm actually kind of intrigued, since I'll be at WDW for a few days solo so I don't feel a lot of pressure to maximize my days. I actually am not in a position to buy DVC today (although I go to WDW 2-3 times a year, I'm not interested in financing the purchase, so I'll want to have a lot of disposable cash and perhaps married if I ever buy).
A couple of questions:
- Is there a chance I could get a better visit offer if I wait to book when I'm at WDW?
- Will the sales people resent a solo traveler taking a tour if there's no chance of closing a sale for at least another 5 years? (I am genuinely curious about how DVC works and what the rooms look like but I'm absolutely not buying it as a single guy until I can afford to pay in full and travel deluxe-style.)
- Is it really just 60-90 minutes of my time? I hear horror stories of timeshare presentations where they keep you all afternoon... just not at Disney.
