When we were there last August.... We looked at DVC. We even signed up for it, but we were a bit confused as to how the points worked. We thought you could carry them over (and over and over) so that if you needed 100 Points for your intended vacation, you could sign up for 50 points annually and go every other year. This you can do. What we also thought (incorrectly) was that if you wanted to do a "Bigger" vacation that was maybe 200 points, you could save up points for 4 years and then go. Alas, you can only rollover LAST YEARS points. If you don't use them the next year you lose them.
What might have made it more valuable for us would be additional discounts, but it seems that there are very few discounts with DVC that you cannot get otherwise (AP, TIW, Etc). At least any of the discounts that WE would be interested in.
I am not saying it's not a good program. If you are going to go faithfully every year (or perhaps every other year) I could see value in it, but at this time, it's just not for us.
