    Better to Buy Over the Phone or In Person?

    We're looking at buying another contract direct from Disney (we currently own 2 others that were bought direct as well) and we're wondering if people get any extras when buying while at Disney World vs just doing it over the phone?

    DVC Resort Maintenance - Do they really refurbish like they should?

    A few years ago we purchased a DVC contract with Wilderness Lodge Villas as our home resort. We sold a couple of years later for various reasons. As Florida residents we wanted to be more spontaneous with our visits...yet stay "where we wanted". That was hard to do using points. We had a...
