the Disney Driven Life - Comments - Community for Neurotic Disney Peoplehttp://thedisneydrivenlife.comBack in January 2009, JL Knopp wrote a trip report about her family’s first vacation as Disney Vacation Club members. It was written much like a novel with the story centering around her own character (which she affectionately dubbed the Neurotic Disney Mom). It described the rituals that she had her family conduct during their vacation as well as chronicled the hilarious incidents that took place when all her best laid plans went awry. Unexpectedly, many contacted JL to declare that they, too, participated in the very same rituals and could be described as a “Neurotic Disney Person.” It was then that the Neurotic Disney Community was born and the Disney Driven Life was launched. Evolving from a blog where JL continued to depict her family’s Disney-centric lifestyle to the home base of the Neurotic Disney Community, the Disney Driven Life is now a community blog where a wide variety of Disney fans submit articles about their particular area of expertise to help coach as well as connect with others who want to “bring Disney to their door.” The site also hosts a Confessional where Disneyphiles can admit their mouse-loving idiosyncrasies as well as other Disney-esque type secrets. And not to be overlooked are the Disney Driven Life Principles where the community has begun to compile an amusing code to live by and laugh at. If you find that the Disney Driven Lifestyle resonates with your Inner Mouse, we hope that you will stand with us by Being Counted as a Neurotic Disney Person. We’d love to add you to our growing number and learn about your personal style of leading the Disney Driven Life.enSun, 19 Feb 2012 13:02:00 PSThourly1http://thedisneydrivenlife.com/http://thedisneydrivenlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ddl.jpgComments for The Disney Driven LifeSubscribe with My Yahoo!Subscribe with NewsGatorSubscribe with My AOLSubscribe with BloglinesSubscribe with NetvibesSubscribe with GoogleSubscribe with PageflakesSubscribe with PlusmoSubscribe with The Free DictionarySubscribe with Bitty BrowserSubscribe with Live.comSubscribe with Excite MIXSubscribe with WebwagSubscribe with Podcast ReadySubscribe with WikioSubscribe with Daily RotationBack in January 2009, JL Knopp wrote a trip report about her family’s first vacation as Disney Vacation Club members.

Since then, we’ve added points, so we now have Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, and Bay Lake Tower points. Each year, my family of 6 goes for Thanksgiving and then various other smaller trips throughout the year. We’re all annual pass holders.

When we first bought, it was because we were starting to have to stay in multiple rooms and Disney couldn’t guarantee attached rooms. The one-bedroom option that DVC offered meant that our whole family could stay together. Now that’s we’re older, we get the two bedroom, and it’s perfect for inviting extra friends. We never have to worry about not having enough room for all the friends that might join us.

The annual fee is different for each resort. Bay Lake Tower has a much a lower annual fee than Old Key West, because it’s a much smaller property. However, Disney really uses that annual fee. I’ve seen the Old Key West rooms be completely upgraded with state-of-the-art kitchens, new hard wood floors, and gorgeous updated furnishings. 

If you only go once a year or sometimes not at all; if you prefer the value resorts, then it’s not for you. It’s not for everybody. However, I know that without DVC we wouldn’t go as much as we do, and visiting WDW a lot is the reason my family can have such a relaxing and fun vacation, without the stress of needing to do everything. Also, I have Bay Lake Tower points that will be transferred into my name when my parents can no longer use them. How cool of a present is that to give to your children? Disney vacations for life with the room basically already paid, awesome.

I pay way more for accommodations with DVC than I used to spend without. But…I’m not a smart person with money in general and I love being a DVC member. I didn’t join thinking I was going to be saving money. For me, it was more of a way to set aside my vacation dollars throughout the year…I’m locked into budgeting for vacation accommodations, I’m obligated.

We moved to the area a little over a year and a half ago, and it has been great living so close.  For us, we are still considering joining DVC because it would allow us to go to Aulani, Hilton Head, or for that matter a slew of other world class resorts worldwide.

It took us almost 2 yrs of reviewing the info and numbers over and over and over and… I still have my little notebook where I worked and re-worked the numbers. But at the end of the day, even with the dues and their annual increase, it just made sense. We bought in at a number of pts that we new would cover the normal 3 trips we try to take each year (1 5-day and 2 3-day weekend trips) and have already seen us breaking even. Even with our annual passholder discounts, we aren’t paying any more a year on DVC membership (monthly payment + dues) than we were on our trips. Actually we’re making a bit of money as we have friends that would travel with us on the longer trip. They were so attracted to our ‘discount’ on the rooms that we now book a room with our pts for them (sometimes we share a villa) and they pay us. 

At the end of the day, we joined DVC because it was the best way for us to vacation the way we wanted. Since we were paying the deluxe/moderate rate anyways, it just made sense. Plus there are times we’ll visit WDW but never step foot in a park. On those trips, I definitely want to be in a deluxe resort.

I believe it comes down to your personal preferences. If you take the upgrade option because it’s “only $50 more” then DVC is for you. If you opt to do Disney on a Dime, then it’s probably not. For us, a vacation is about enjoying ourselves, splurging a little since we’re frugal at home.

When we could finally pay cash for the points was when we joined.  This was just a few years before the prices skyrocketed. It also only makes sense for someone who vacations in a Disney deluxe resort on a yearly or bi yearly basis. For those who prefer the values or stay in them frequently then it is harder to make the numbers work. DVC is definately not for everyone even those who love Disney.  It is simply a pre-paid hotel room for the next 40-50 years, nothing more.  As mentioned free dining and room discounts are gone. We love our DVC and it has afforded us the opportunity to go to WDW more often and to bring others along with us. However the direct pricing has gone up so much that the resale market is really the best way to go. Disney has put some restrictions on those purchases in the last year but nothing that would stop me from moving forward with a resale purchase if we decide to add on to our current membership. For anyone who is interested in DVC it really is important to do your homework. It is a long term financial commitment that can work out to your advantage but you have to research it very carefully to make sure it would work for you.  For us personally it was a great decision and we are thrilled with our membership.

At the same time, 5 years ago, their preferred interest rate was 10.5%. 
If it is 11.75% now, then its time to look at alternate financing
methods.  Even HELOC’s are running at 5 and 6%.

The thing is that I think the buy-in from DVC is rather high now.  Looking into the resale market as a way to get into DVC is a better idea, even if the memberships being sold on the resale market have some extra restrictions.

DVC may have its pros and cons.  For some, it may not be a good fit.  And that is OK. We researched it for at least 3 years before buying in.  And for us – it is starting to pay off.  I just wish I did it sooner when the buy-in was less.
