I am not a DVC member but am trying to check into it a bit. So far I am a little confused! I have a trip scheduled to HH in oct with a tour and meeting with a DVC rep, so I'm sure I'll get all the details then. I'm trying to get alittle information before hand so I don' go in totaly in the dark.
It seems that DVC requires an inital investment based on the number of points you want per year. I think I read that the minimum amount currently is around 11k. I guess you can pay this or finance it. Then, based on the property you pick you pay annual maintenance fees based on the number of points you have. These fees can be paid all at once in January or paid monthly thru the year.
Is this basically how it works? Please correct me if I have it wrong. Also, what number of points works for most people? We are a family of 3 that would probably vacation at Disney once or twice a year. Should I invesitgate resales or is going directly thru Disney the best bet. Are the WDW properties maintenance fees much higher than Vero Beach or HH? Does home reosrt really matter all that much since you can book anywhere just a few moths later?
Thank you for any information and advice!
