Club Wyndham, Marriott, DVC
100% resale!!
I own Wyndham and can stay at a 1-bedroom at Bonnet Creek for usually less than half the price of a DVC 1-bedroom any time of the year with no buy in cost (resale contracts are essentially free). Bonnet Creek is a 4 star resort that is part of the "Wyndham Grand" luxury collection. It has 2 lazy rivers, 12 hot tubs, 5 pools, 2 slides, a spa, mini golf, a bunch of bars and restaurants and a view of both magic kingdom and Epcot fireworks. To be exact, it costs $996 to stay in a 1-bedroom CHRISTMAS WEEK when you own. Saratoga Springs is $1781 for the same week with a $25,000 buy in cost.
Wyndham has 4 other Orlando properties, one of which is part of Reunion, which has a water park and 4 championship golf courses, among other 4.5 star amenities. Wyndham owners can also trade into Saratoga and Old Key West pretty easily once DVC deposits the leftovers into RCI, as well as 4 other beautiful Hilton resorts for less than what DVC and Hilton owners pay with their maintenance fees.
For those of you who drive to WDW for your vacations, would you still have bought into DVC if you knew you get a free contract and do all those fore mentioned exchanges for much cheaper?
I'm asking because I'm considering DVC for its theming for my kids, but that price tag is insane when you compare it to Wyndham!
Also, Wyndham has over 100 resorts all over the country as well. DVC has only a handful.
