[quote=Anonymous]We got to Disney every year and have done so for the last 10-12 years. I looked into this a while back and found that it didn't make financial sense. The upfront cost is very high. When I looked it was something like $30,000-$40,000. Then you had to pay the fees on top of that. We almost always stay at the boardwalk area deluxe hotels and usually you usually find travel agent deals to stay there for less than $300 a night depending on when you are staying. Even assuming $300 a night, and a 5 night trip each year ($1500 in costs), you are looking at 20 years before you can even break even on your $30,000 deposit. Meanwhile you could have been investing that $30,000 the whole time instead. If you invest $30,000 now in the stock market at 5% return, you would have $1500 a year of income that you could use to pay for your hotel rooms.[/quote]
