I have been timeshare free for a while now. I have decided to buy a small DVC contract for lots of reasons. I have a couple offers in for Polynesian and waiting to hear back. While I am in no rush, there's nothing to stop me from pulling the trigger when I do hear back. If neither like my offer, I will just keep making offers. There's no rush on my part.
I chose Poly because they have 2 bathrooms in the studio - although only one has a toilet. The resort has theming that I like and I'd be pretty happy staying there every 2-3 years (which is what I'd get with my small contract). The resort itself has enough going on to keep me busy. Of course, being a Disney fanatic, I will go to the parks.
This purchase will give me owner status again, which will likely allow me to purchase the Disneyland tower in a smaller contract when that goes on sale. That's just a side benefit, though. I've been waiting to see that go on sale and I'd love to buy a tiny package there. Non DVC people currently have to buy 125 points when buying direct, while current owners can buy 25-50 points at new resorts.
Before anyone asks, I'll point out:
1.) I owned DVC before and completely understand the system.
2.) I have the funds to pay for this.
3.) The annual dues are very manageable
4.) It's reasonable that I will be able to use this product exactly as it is (no need to trade, etc)
5.) There's a very remote chance that I can use these points for VGC (where I used to own and where I visit often) or Aulani if I ever feel like I need a one or two night stay on that part of the island.
