* Most of that 30% come all the time. They do not spend a ton of money. DVC visitors in fact are quite adept at finding ways to save money by buying groceries and not eating on property. In contrast, that 70% are usually eating on the park and enjoying new experiences. They are also more likely to purchase toys for kids, shirts, gifts, etc.
* Although we in the 30% complain a lot, in actuality, a very small percentage (I have no idea how many) ACTUALLY LEAVE. MOST of us will not abandon Disney or stop or majorly change our plans over $15. So Disney gets the win of the 70% and loses very few of the 30%.
Oh I don't know, we may be adept at finding ways to save money, but we still manage to spend way more compared to early visits.
And it's not just $15. For families and groups, this adds up to hundreds if not thousands more. This is DVC right there. Two years ago, I wouldn't have thought about selling our points. Now I think we could find more magic by renovating our kitchen or seeing what the rest of the country has to offer. It doesn't mean I won't still love Disney, but I think it's fair to say the spell has broken for us.
