New DVC Members

[presley]

I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and lack of pressure to reconsider.

Please keep in mind that this is nearly exclusive to Disney. If you attend a presentation at another brand of timeshare and you get talked into a purchase, it will be more difficult to cancel. You'll still be able to cancel within the limit of the law, but Disney wants to be known as the timeshare where people want to buy and don't need to be talked into buying.

Good luck. Take some time to explore the resorts - in person or some of the websites/message boards.

DVC is not going anywhere. Do some more research. Wether or not you buy resale or direct/both - you can and will be assigned the same sales guide if you ever decide to buy a few points direct in addition to a resale contract. They are pretty low pressure.

We love it - have been members for 19 years. We have created some wonderful memories with family and friends. We are now empty nesters and still enjoy it. My three grown kids love it - my daughter just had a Disney Fairytale Wedding and two of my sons own small contracts too.

Have fun with your research!

Something else you might consider is trading in to DVC through RCI. I don't know much about HGVC or if you have access to RCI through that. We own DVC but actually get more time at DVC resorts using our Worldmark points and trading in. We are flexible on dates and have never had a problem getting Saratoga Springs for dates that work for us. Of course, there's the exchange fee and the additional $190 Disney "because they can" fee, but that's all still much less than buying a contract direct. If you try it and like it, you could always look into a resale contract or even buy more points thru another system for trading purposes.
