Originally Posted By RoadTrip The best DVC perk is being able to buy an annual pass with a $100 discount. Since we usually get two one-week trips out of one annual pass, the cost per day becomes extremely low ($446/14 = $32 a day). The best part about having an annul pass is the freedom it gives you. You never feel like you "wasted a day" as you might with a regular park-hopper. If you only want to be in a park for Illuminations one day no problem... you are not using up a limited number of days on your pass for just an hour or so in the parks.

(I would have gone a week earlier if I were staying at a hotel but couldn't get the DVC I wanted at that time - just 1 day was not available which threw out a whole 10 day vacation!)
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Hi and welcome to DVC. I have been a member since 2001 and still find it confusing. I just want to recommend Mousesavers.com for their section on DVC in the - Other Disney Vacations. Seems to explain a lot altho it needs to be updated. Have you registered as a member on <a href="http://www.DVCMember.com" target="_blank">http://www.DVCMember.com</a> I guess you can book online now! I was able to grab one night at BLT during Easter Week just to use up remaining points.

Have looked there for other things but not this for some reason. I actually made our first reservations by phone because I had so many questions and am glad I did because DH was interpreting the info all wrong and in a way that would have worked against us.
