In terms of finance, I am not one that says you can't. Does it add to the cost of buying? Sure and should be part of hr equation, but if you are continuing to go to Disney and pay cash rates, even with a discount, year after year, the to me, I don't necessarily think financing is a no no. We looked at things when we bought in terms f what I was paying for our cash room and what my DVC payments would be. If buying, even with finance, was no more than what I'd continue to pay for my yearly trips--which I was not willing to give up, then we were fine, especially since I was getting bigger rooms. But, given the difference in cost, you may be able to start small and pay cash and go from there
Good luck!!!

With all due respect, I feel it is bad advice for OP to even consider buying resale. She stated she likes staying in values. Right there it is enough to not buy direct or resale. Paying for DVC does not make sense against staying in values.
Also, OP even stated she doesn't know if kids will even want to go to Disney more than once, ever.
