1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?Disney every 3rd year or so.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? No. we would not be at a home destination half the time
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? In no order: 1 Colorado (during ski season). 2. Caribbean. 3. N.E. united states (Vermont, Maine, NH). 4. Hawaii. 5. Europe
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself? 2 adults. 2 kids (8 and 3 years old)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? fairly locked into school schedule
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? we can, but do not always do it.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? Don't usually vacation for an entire week in the same place.
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 3 to 5 stars
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? $10,000
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? $2,000
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? If I need to be.
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? I do understand that most time timeshare will sell for much less than paid for if bought directly from the company.
I do not own a TS or vacation club yet but I believe it could be a way for me to same some money on my family vacations we take each year. not a financial investment just hopefully a reduction in the cost of accommodations and a step up in quality of accommodations.
I have researched the DVC company quite a bit and I liked their model, I am just not sure if I should buy a resale of DVC and trade the points to RCI a lot or buy into another company?
Thanks for any help.
