I can certainly see why it would not be an advantage for Johnny as I know Johnny's wife is a teacher and would have to pay extremely expensive flights during the high season. There never seem to be special offers on direct flights to Orlando during the school holidays. Whereas there often seems to be special offers on hotel and dining etc.
Unfortunately for me my DH, Mark is totally fed up with Disney and I am exremely pleased we purchased DVC (520 points which we are currently renting out) as I feel sure we will just have to visit again some time. If I did not have this fall back position I think I would go insane. However it definately is not good value during the school holidays. Luckily for us my dd is 15 and we do not have that long to wait for cheaper flights. To add to our complications we have bought a holiday home in Spain so we are keen to visit every school holiday we can until the novelty has worn off!
That said the happiness I felt when we purchased DVC membership was unreal and four years and an add on later I still feel the same way. We have used our points for our WDW trips with just our family and our friends' families too, holidays to Disneyland Paris, the Disney Cruise line and would you believe it a February half term trip to Devon!! The only other downside is the annual dues. Luckily I prepaid these for a few years in July when I got $2 to the £.
I can't think of any other disadvantages as previously said if you get fed up or unable to visit one year you can always rent out your points.
