Price increases for sold-out resorts

Financial News & Pricing

Disney Vacation Club is poised to increase the prices it charges for points on older properties with some locations going up as much as $25 per point.  

On January 6, 2015 Disney Vacation Club will reportedly increase prices for all ten properties currently designated as "sold out."  According to numbers posted to dvcresalemarket.commost locations will see increases of $5 per point including--Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas and Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort--while three older resorts will see their rates rise $25 per point from $130 to $155 each.  The $25 increases apply to Disney's Beach Club Villas, Disney's BoardWalk Villas and the Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.  

Updated prices for each property are as follows:

Resort Rate per point
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort $110
Disney's Vero Beach Resort $110
Disney's Old Key West Resort $135
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa $135
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas $155
Disney's Beach Club Villas $155
Disney's BoardWalk Villas $155
Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge $155
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort $170
Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel $170

Although these properties are regarded as "sold out" and not actively marketed by Disney Vacation Club, persistent buyers can often purchase ownership direct from DVC.  DVC periodically reacquires points at older resorts through its Right of First Refusal, foreclosures and other similar means.  The direct sale prices listed above are as much as double the price buyers would pay on the secondary market through a broker like The Timeshare Store.  



With sales of Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows likely to begin in mid-January, expect an increase on the price of the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort as well.  Our sources suggest Grand Floridian could rise to $180 per point.  The intial offering price for the Polynesian Villas may come in slightly under that rate.
