Disney Vacation Club.
The Disney Vacation Club in our opinion is a
modern version of the "Time Share" vacation packages. The
benefits of the Disney World Vacation Club is well worth it -
if it fits your vacation style.
If you plan to spend 10 -14 days a year at
Disney World and prefer to stay in rooms from the higher end
such as two bedroom suites than the Vacation Club may be worth
it to you. As I understand the program it will take
approximately 5 - 7 years to break even comparing the cost of
the Vacation Club verses paying published rates for the same
rooms. The
comparison does not take into account the numerous specials
offers by Disney World from time to time. Therefore the true
break even point may be closer from 7-10 years. Now if you are
like us and are just as happy with a single room in Animal
Kingdom or Caribbean Beach not sure how long it would take to
break even. We sat
thru the Vacation Club pitch one afternoon hoping that the
plan would save us money as we go at least once a month. We
had a couple of different resort appointment makers at the
park's Kiosk tell us
that we could stay at the Caribbean for only 3-4 points a
night. Unfortunately they were way off as it required more of
the Disney Vacation Points to stay there than our Home Resort.
Check it out it, may be for you - It sure wasn't for us. |
