The "Notice of 2015 Annual Meetings" for each Disney Vacation Club resort--which includes budget figures for the coming year--have been posted online by DVC.  Annual increases range from a miniscule 0.31% for owners of Disney's Vero Beach Resort to a 5.11% increase for owners of Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

Florida property owners can save money on their propert tax bill by paying several months prior to the final due date.  But does Disney Vacation Club take advantage of these savings on behalf of its owners?

The primary appeal in Disney's timeshare system lies in its Walt Disney World and Disneyland destinations.  Disney Vacation Club provides owners with the ability to stay in those on-site accommodations for a fraction of the cash rate over an extended period of time.  

However DVC also has resorts at Hilton Head Island, SC, Vero Beach, FL and Oahu, Hawaii.  Those resorts--in addition to with non-Disney trades through RCI--may be of interest to potential owners who are not sold on the idea of a Disney theme park vacation year-after-year.

 Topic:  What advice would you give to prospective owners who are equally (or more) interested in the off-site destinations as they are in the DVC resorts located adjacent to Disney theme parks ?
