Paul lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife, Amy, and their three Spanish galgos, Hermès, Cinders, and Emerson. They’re Disney Vacation Club Members at five resorts, Disney World Annual Passholders, and always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy and maximize their DVC points. When he’s not at the parks or planning their next trip, Paul loves cooking (big Alton Brown fan), training for Disney races with Amy, and blasting Billy Joel in the background.

We initially bought at BLT thinking we were having children, and that this would be a great option close to MK and on Monorail Line. We have never had kids, so now I wish we had bought at AKL. Jambo House is my absolute favorite place to stay. Luckily we just need a studio and have been able to get rooms there at the 7 month mark, but I would love to be able to book concierge level there at 11 months! You should definitely buy where you want to stay! Still love our DVC no matter what.
Without a doubt, would’ve bought a small direct contract when you only needed 25 points for a blue card OR would have purchased resale earlier and been grandfathered in. I had barely heard of DVC when that was an option. Late to the party I guess.

We have always said, best purchase we ever did…I crave the Wilderness Lodge, smell of the pines walking in to the condos (Boulder Ridge) and the background music. Only change a few of the reservation rules,allowed to book earlier.

We bought back in 1994. No regrets then and none now. Over the years, we have enjoyed our membership tremendously and watched our children enjoy it. However, several years ago they offered us a chance to extend our DVC membership from 2042 to 2057. I wish we did that because now our daughters are giving us grandchildren. We want our grandchildren to enjoy Disney World as much and as long.
