Hi everyone, please excuse the newbie here but we've read so much in the past few days that we are confused. Something I'm sure you guys encounter a lot! We currently live in Ireland, and last year had a fantastic trip to WDW with our three kids. On our last day we bumped into a lovely lady who introduced us to DVC, and took us on a tour as it sounded interesting. Cue an overwhelming trip where we took on copious amounts of pixie dust before I got a bit panicked and we walked away from signing up.
On return we kicked ourselves a bit, but booked a trip to DLP in June, which has now been cancelled (boo hoo!) We've had a thought to book WDW for 2021 and have costed it out, however, we had this nagging feeling that although a huge investment, DVC might be best for us going forward. We have had a taste of DVC, and think any non-DVC trip to WDW would be selling ourselves short, and 'wasting' money that could be used better. Now, this is where the confusion comes in!
We've watched videos, read blogs, and become so overwhelmed at not having a clue what to do. We know the basics of the whole experience, but we wondered if others have taken the plunge, are further down the road, and could school us a bit! We are looking to take our family of 5, our three boys are between 7-12, every other year to WDW, and have no issue with any of the DVC resorts to be our home resort. We have a few key questions...
Is there anyone from Ireland who has done this?
Can you purchase from outside of the US?
I'm a bit weird about wanting to buy direct from Disney because I'm convinced it's better, is there a basis for this?
Does everyone feel like this when buying for the first time??!??!
Thanks so much for your help in advance!!
