Would you buy a fixed week at a DVC resort if it was possible? - Page 2 - The DVC Boards at MouseOwners.com - the place to talk DVC and Walt Disney World

I voted no. We used to pull my son out of school for a week in May, but now that he is getting older we can no longer do that and had to switch our annual trip from May to Jersey Week in November. When he gets to high school I don't think we will be able to even do that, so we'll have to find another week. Presuming he still wants to go to WDW (I hope!)

I didn't know that they were selling like that. Do you know how much they are going for? Not buying, but just curious what they are charging.

no. i love the flexibility in the dvc system.

I voted No. As others has commented, we have different times of the year that we can travel and not really a set time so it would not do us any good. Besides we also like to try out the different resorts at different times of the year.

I voted no. We need the flexibility.

I voted no. It was the flexibility of DVC that sold us.

I never would have purchased DVC if it were fixed week. Complete non-starter for us.

handa · 11-17-2011, 08:04 PM

NO.

Trips have ranged from 3-10 room nights. We've stayed in studios, 1BR, 2BR, and THV. Vacation months so far have been January, February, May, and August. We've stayed at SSR, THV, BWV, AKV, BLT and OKW to date.

I don't think that a traditional timeshare with set weeks would allow as much flexibility as we have used to this point without it costing a lot of extra $$$.

P.S.--For the record, I'm a small-points owner at SSR with no tattoos and I purchase a new "length of stay" mug at the start of every trip.

No, we need the fexibility. Would never had bought if it was a fixed week.

henrycpa91 · 11-17-2011, 08:34 PM

I voted yes. If I could grab a fixed week at F&W at BCV or BWV I would do it in a heartbeat. The flexibility is nice, but knowing I had a fixed week to plan around every year would be perfect.
