Is there a sticky that talks about the ins and outs of DVC? I looked at the DVC system section and didn't find it. I don't know anything about the system, and now that I have little ones I am curious.

For all the newbies out there could we please write out abbreviations. Don’t have a clue what these are

We bought 2 2br units at SVVKW. We paid $1575 for 1 and $1000 for the other. The 2 weeks are linked on the same deed, so we had to buy both. 81k SO each annual. Maint fees are around $1200 each. We use the 81k SOs to stay in a 2BR for a week in Cancun in October usually or a 1 br for 2 weeks. Haven't ever stayed at SVVKW, but I am sure it is nice.
What is SVVKW

WHile I feel for the plight, getting so many different users to spell out abbreviations is simply unrealistic. Unfortunately, typing SVV KW is much easier than typing Sheraton Vistana Villages- Key West. I even copied that from post #78 because I wasn't going to type it. Over time you will learn the different abbreviations. Here is a link with some of the more often used ones.

There is an acronym list in the Owner Resorce Stickies.
There are probably a few new ones - but most are captured.
