Yes, having CMs make a living wage is great. But, at some point, DVC owners won’t be able to afford the ever increasing maintenance dues on our points to pay for the living wage. There has to be a happy medium
We are at that point of questioning if DVC is actually a benefit for us. When you add in the maintenance fees and prorated cost of the points, we can just about book directly thru Disney with a promotion and save money.
We sold half our points last year. We sold 200 OKW and 170 BRV. The maintenance fees on those points for 2020 would have been almost $3000. Add in the actual cost of the points, and that is a lot of money for a little over a week in a 2 bedroom.
