  • Detailed, Helpful Information on All Things DVC

    This is my favorite resource for Disney vacation club. It was incredibly helpful as I was purchasing my first contract. And I love the continually updated information about how to make best use of my contract and all the different DVC resorts.

  • Used to be good…

    Used to have interesting content and member interviews. For the last year Chad has leaned too far into his sponsors and is now just a shill for resale contracts. His episodes are now only market updates and him clicking around on their website to look at listings. Terrible audio content since we can’t see what he’s looking at.

  • Too many errors

    Unfortunately, Chad doesn’t take feedback or corrections well. While he has offered some useful information, take it with a grain of salt. He has blatant errors regularly and won’t discuss or correct them when mentioned. His most recent use of averages in material defies understanding on statistics and may cause buyers to inaccurately determine need. TLDR - be careful and check other sources before trusting.

  • Good info, snarky

    Lots of good and interesting information. Chad is a bit arrogant and claims that all opinions are welcome and his Facebook group and YouTube channel is a “no snark zone” but go ahead and disagree with him and see what happens…..
