A couple of years ago we went to a DVC presentation at Disney World--we asked how points would be applied to ABD trips, and were not satisfied with the answer so didn't sign up (far too many points needed for an ABD trip). But I see from some threads on this site that people are using points for ABD--so my question: does it work out financially? We live out in San Diego, and saw that there will be DVC units at the Grand Californian up in Disneyland/California Adventure. And a Disney cruise ship is porting in LA starting next year--so maybe things make more sense, since we love ABD, look forward to Alaska (maybe!) cruises on DCL and the Grand Californian is one of our favorite hotels. Thoughts/advice/experiences (good and bad) with DVC are sought please!!
