Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts:  7 Reasons Why You Must Stay at One

7. They’re a Gateway to DVC

After your first stay at a deluxe resort, you aren't going to want to stay at anything but a deluxe resort.  Once you start thinking about the cost of staying deluxe for every subsequent trip, you're going to start toying with the idea of purchasing Disney Vacation Club.  Don't say I didn't warn you.  Now, there's nothing wrong with purchasing DVC.  In fact, it might just be on your list of life goals. Just know that once you stay deluxe, you're going to want it even more!  

Now, if you are already considering DVC and toying with the idea of becoming an owner, then you must stay at a deluxe resort at least once to see if it will be worth it to you.  Proximity, transportation, and dining are all fabulous reasons to enjoy a deluxe stay, but if you are seriously considering becoming a DVC owner, then staying at a DVC resort only makes sense.  

Do you prefer deluxe accommodations, or are you perfectly happy with Disney’s value and moderate resorts, or staying off-property?  If you’ve stayed deluxe before, what’s your favorite “extra” that you got out of your stay?  Photo credit Disney
