Would you buy Disney Vacation Club points before ever setting foot in Disney World? My guest Marcus did, and he has quite the story to tell.
In this episode, I’m chatting with Marcus from Dis Dad Dude, my very first dad guest on the podcast! We talk about how one budget-friendly Disneyland trip turned him into a Disney-loving dad with 420 DVC points across three contracts.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Disney Vacation Club membership is worth it, Marcus shares how he made the leap from booking a deluxe resort to buying points through resale, and eventually purchasing direct through Disney.
We also get into what it’s like doing Disney World with kids, his favorite deluxe resorts, and why this Disney World Dad has made the Disney World Halloween party an annual family tradition.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why Marcus bought DVC before his first Disney World visit and what to consider before committing to Disney Vacation Club membership
- The differences between buying DVC points direct versus resale
- Our honest comparisons of Grand Floridian, Riviera, BoardWalk, and Bay Lake Tower
- How resort location and room layouts can make Disney World with kids easier
- Why this Disney World Dad loves returning for the Disney World Halloween party every October
Whether you’re researching Disney Vacation Club membership, planning Disney World with kids, or curious about how another Disney World Dad approaches family vacations, you’ll love hearing Marcus’s perspective.
And if the Disney World Halloween party is on your family’s wish list, you’ll hear why it’s become one of his favorite Disney traditions.

My life doesn't revolve around Disney like you may think. I live for my family: my husband and our three kids. In my spare time I like to make my home the best it can be, read on our porch and watch (you guessed it) Disney+.
