In May 2016, 165,929 Disney Vacation Club points were sold by Disney Vacation Development for 11 of the 13 DVC resorts (sales for Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas and the Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort are not available). Although not as high as April 2016’s total of 191,803 points, May’s sale total is well above the average monthly sales amount for the last 12 months (124,655 points) and for the last six months (131,364 points).
In April 2016, direct sales of Disney Vacation Club points had its best month in over a year.
For the second straight year, market research firm Sharket has given high marks to many Disney Vacation Club properties for their value on the secondary market.

Promotional incentives may be the new norm for both Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas and Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. Meanwhile, Disney Vacation Club reveals a price increase going into effect before the start of summer.
