Being a long time (1996) DVC fan, yes we have found it to be an incredible value for us regarding accommodations. Over the years we stayed with our young son, family and friends and now our son and his wife. We are crazy Disney people too!
Most of our friends have "toys" like pools, bikes, boats, etc and we have DVC... Over the years the economy went up and down, we bought and sold various DVC contracts, but we were stable and made it through the financial crisis in part by being frugal and part luck though we know people who lost it all...houses, cars, toys and all their savings. I just think it is best to assume you will have some difficult years through things you can control and things you can't. It's not to suggest you can't get the things you want - you SHOULD aim high and work hard to fill your life with things you love, I guess it just comes with some soul searching - as in, if you loose your job (it happens), can you pay all your bills for 6-12 months? None of us can make that judgement call but you. Good luck and follow your dreams!
