New DVC E-Book

[DVC Mike]

I downloaded and read the new PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide: For Members and Members To Be (2009).

I highly recommend it for prospective and new DVC members! While there are a couple of web sites dedicated to the Disney Vacation Club, and DVC forums on many of the Disney fan site discussion boards, this new downloadable E-book brings all the information together.

At 168 pages, it explains what the Disney Vacation Club is, how much it costs, how to purchase it, how to use it, what the perks are, as well as reviews of every DVC resort and a discussion on how you can use your points outside of the DVC resorts.

If you've been a member for some time or have a good understanding of DVC, you won't find anything new. But it's a great guide book for those considering becoming DVC members or for those who have recently joined and want a great explanation of getting the most out of their membership.

Is this book better than the Dream Book? That's what we got and I found it explained everything pretty well.

Before making any large purchase, it is wise to consult independent third parties for reviews. The Dream book is great, but it will only tell one side of the story.

The PassPorter book describes the entire program in detail and includes reviews of each DVC resort. You'll only find high-level fluff in the Dream book, although it looks nice on your coffee table.
