Disney Vacation Club has scheduled near across-the-board price increases for mid-March.
The rumors are true...ten of the eleven Disney Vacation Club properties will see their prices go up effective March 20, 2013. DVC had previously announced increases at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas and Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas. But word has since emerged that increases will also follow for nearly every other property. New rates are as follows:
Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel: $165 per point
Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas: $145pp
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas: $145pp
Disney's Beach Club Villas: $130pp
Disney's BoardWalk Villas: $130pp
Disney's Old Key West Resort: $130pp
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa: $130pp
Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge: $130pp
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort: $115pp
Disney's Vero Beach Resort: $115pp
The only resort exempt from the increase is Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, which will remain at its current price of $165 per point.
The above figures are reported base prices. Discounts are typically offered for newer properties; some reduction to the base price is currently offered for points at Bay Lake Tower, Animal Kingdom Villas and Aulani.
Rates are subject to change. Additional fees and closing costs may apply. Contact a Disney Vacation Club sales representative for details.
Current members can purchase any additional points at the above properties in a quantity of 25 or more. For many resorts, completion of the purchase is subject to the availability of the points. At properties which are "sold out", Disney Vacation Club must reacquire sufficient points--in the buyer's Use Year--before the sale can be executed.
In the event that points are not immediately available for sale, Disney Vacation Club will place the individual on a purchase waiting list. Credit card information is held and a 10% deposit immediately charged when the points come available. Buyers who initiate a purchase or are added to the waiting list before March 20 should be locked-in at current--pre-increase--prices (recommend confirming with DVC sales representative.)
