10. Alternatives to DVC.

DVC is a premium product, so before buying DVC I would recommend that you look into off-site alternatives which might meet your needs for less - notably Marriott, and Hilton.

Conclusion.

The best reason to buy into DVC is because of the positive experience of those on the Dibb who has bought into DVC. The financial calculations rely on assumptions which can be blown away by exchange rate movements. The only regrets DVC owners on the Dibb seem to have is that (a) they didn't do it sooner; and (b) that they didn't buy more points up front. It is that which sells DVC to me. Whilst DVC isn't for everyone, its members love it.

-------------------------------------

This reservation will be rented at the rate of £______ per point for the dates of this reservation. Payment of the sum of £_____ (being ___ x £______) will be due upon receipt by the Rentee of confirmation of the booking from Disney. Time is of the essence. Any requests regarding room location, view or amenities cannot be guaranteed, but will be made for Rentee by DVC Member at the time of making the reservation.

In the event that the Rentee is unable to use the reservation made Rentee agrees that no monies will be refunded, but DVC Member agrees to assist Rentee in making changes to the existing reservation. Changes can include making the reservation in the name of another Rentee (only at the direction of the original Rentee), changing the date, resort, or room type – all based on availability and all limitations of the DVC program itself. Rentee agrees that (s)he will be subject to all policies of DVC regarding any desired changes to the reservation.

Rentee agrees to abide by all rules of the resort involving use of the facilities and to abide by all rules of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC).

The original DVC 101 I wrote some years ago has been read nearly 30,000 times (quite possibly repeatedly by some people). Whilst I have updated it from time to time, I thought a more radical update was required - hence this 2014 version, albeit it is still based upon the original.

My thanks to Michelle for proof reading it before I posted it. Notwithstanding this, any mistakes herein are mine. Thanks also to Lizzim for correcting an error before the (virtual) ink was even dry - much appreciated.

Good luck and happy reading to all.
