Not renewing our APs

[sueg]

We have owned DVC since OKW was the Vacation Club. We have had AP almost as long. With our 2 DSs, we had some wonderful vacations. Our use of DVC has changed. DH & I primarily use it for the festivals. F & W was our favorite, where we spent 5-6 days. But the loss of the breakfast/luncheons in the countries and the cooking/baking demos has made F & W our least favorite. We booked 5 days for F & W this year, actually left early on the fifth day, had breakfast at First Watch and drove home.
It was an emotional decision to let our APs lapse, because we may not spend 10+ days in the park. We have 2 contracts & over 400 pts. per year and we really have to figure this out.

Timeshares in general are great for phases of life, but not necessarily all phases of life.

DVC may have a little extra utility due to proximity to parks, but not uncommon that needs change. The good news is DVC has value if you do decide to start selling or renting.
