While there are many different timeshare out there I only recommend DVC (Disney Vacation Club).  I own a DVC membership, and I have been on tours of many other timeshares that are available.  Most of the other timeshares are very high pressure, and on top of that you get “Weeks” to use.  With Disney you get “Points.”  Here is some things to account for if you have considered purchasing a DVC membership. 

• Figure out roughly how many trips you want to take a year.
• Come up with an idea of how many people will be going majority of the time.
• Decide what kind of accomodations you will want.

These things are important to know because if you are single, or married, and only need basic accomodations, then that is a studio.  If you have kids going, and you want to save money by cooking, then a 1 bedroom will work.  The scenarios keep going.  The amount of points is important if you want to go away multiple times, or if you are going to get larger accomodations.

Before you decide on buying you can contact your preferred banking lender with a free credit score, and see what they will charge you for interest, and the loan.  If you don’t want to do that, then you can just leave it in the hands of Disney Vacation Club.  Their rates are pretty good, and I haven’t heard of a lot of people being declined the credit.

After all is said and done you will be able to vacation roughly 2-3 months later.  There are usually some sort of promotions going on if you purchase, so watch out for the deals.

If you have DVC, then what do you think of it thus far?

On our past trip to Disney I made an inquiry into how 2 computers could be connected to the internet.  We needed this because I am always working, and if a customer was to call, and need support I would have to be online in a flash, and wouldn’t be able to wait for wife, or little one to finish anything they were doing.  This trip a customer called because they needed me to see why a online backup failed.  Anyway, I was sent over to the IT dept. for the internet, and the tech was very nice.  He advised me that all I would have to bring would be either a wired router, wired hub, or a wireless router.  He told me that a wireless access point would be the best way to go.  I picked up a very inexpensive D-Link wireless acess point.  It was very easy to use.  Plug it in, and surf.  The bad part was that I didn’t take the time to secure the access point.  I didn’t need to use the internet much, but it was very convenient, and inexpensive.

So if you need to have more than 1 computer hooked up while you are away in a DVC resort, then all you need to get is a wireless access point, or a wired network hub.

I remember as a child going to the Contemporary Resort for New Years.  I was put into one of Disney Worlds Largest Arcades.  (At that time.)  I tried to find that arcade last time we were there, but I do fully believe that like Walt himself… it has come to an end.  I have been through the Contemporary many times in the past few years, and it has changed a bit.  We still go there for Chef Mickeys restaurant.  Chef Mickeys is a buffet, and there are characters there that will greet you from time to time when they go through.

Now that there is a whole new section of the Contemporary it makes me want to actually stay there, because I have always wanted to stay in a “Room with a view.”

If you get the right room booked you can have a spectacular view of the Magic Kingdom.  At night you have a excellent view of the fireworks, and of the Water Electric Parade. 

From what I have seen in the demo room that was setup at Coronado Springs the Bay Lake Tower is going to have modern furniture.  I liked what I saw, but not staying there yet I can’t give a firsthand account of what it actually looks like in finished stage.

I have read that the points are quite different at Bay Lake Tower.  Each DVC resort has its own unique point structure.  I have recently changed my thoughts on the most economical point usage resort.  This is now Animal Kingdom Villas.  Old Key West was originally the cheapest points, but that has actually changed.

If I get a chance to get a tour while I am there in late March / early April then I will get some real photos, and let you know what I think.
