So other than all those other timeshare systems affiliated with II being able to "sell the dream" of DVC and II being able to sell that to other potential affiliates, DVC really doesn't bring much if anything to the table for II. It doesn't sound like it is a big revenue earner for II and I doubt DVC is paying anything for the affiliation?That info I've seen over the years would suggest that is a combined number and it's been under 3% until fairly recently including with II before. Remember that other than those of us that own both DVC and other options, most people who own DVC aren't the typical timeshare owner and often don't even see themselves as actually owning a timeshare. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone post that they never saw themselves owning a timeshare but DVC was different. Most don't own DVC as a way to see the world, just to go to the parks. Even the non park resorts have a cult following. It's very common for DVC members to not be worried about the "cost" otherwise they likely wouldn't have bought DVC to start with. I've seen few posts over the years about people actually booking getaways with DVC. In my mind most that would book them already have access independently because they play both sides already.
