I've thought about joining a vacation club for a few years. Last year some good friends invited us to join them for a Disney World Vacation using their DVC membership and we loved it. We likely won't visit Disney more than every 4 or 5 years though so questionable if that is the right option for us. When we travel, we typically prefer a Hilton brand hotel chain. Homewood Suites, Garden Inn, & Doubletree all do a good job of accommodating our family of 6. How big a factor should that be? We have several friends who like the Marriott vacation club who have similar sized families.
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
No. We like variety and seeing new places.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Trade most of the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Hawaii, Europe, Florida, Utah, Caribbean / Bahamas
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
Family of 6. 4 kids ages 7 to 15
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
Locked into school schedule
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3-4 stars
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
$20K - $30K
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
5-10% of the purchase price
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Yes
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
Yes
