My DVC Guide was Extremely Unimpressive | Opinion on the Process of Buying VDH Direct with DVC

Описание: Welp, they can't all be winners...! But I certainly was not expecting to be working with a Disney Vacation Club Guide with supposedly 8+ years of experience who knew so little. This all around was not a fun time! So many mishaps! I definitely would not recommend the Guide I was originally assigned to, but even just the process of buying directly through Disney... why not buy on the resale market instead? Yikes.

Thanks so much for supporting the channel and letting me have a little venting session. I've heard feedback via social media about other disastrous DVC Guides, but I remain hopeful that is the minority! I'd love to hear about your experience with your Guide... please, lift my spirits here, haha. And don't forget to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and check out other content that may be of interest :) xoxo, Jacqueline
