As the start of 11 month reservations for the 2014 calendar year approaches, Disney Vacation Club has published the resort point values for an additional year.
In recent years DVC has made changes both large and small to the points charts. Adjustments for the 2014 year fall toward the lower end of that spectrum with the Aulani villas in Hawai'i the only property seeing points reallocated between different dates and seasons.
Studios, One-Bedrooms, and Two Bedrooms in all view categories remain unchanged on Aulani's 2014 point chart. However Grand Villas point costs have been tweaked in 2014 with Standard View costs decreasing 1 or 2 points per night while Ocean View increasing 1 to 4 points. Additionally 14 days are being moved from Choice Season to the more expensive Magic Season. Magic Season increases from 95 to 109 days and Choice Season is reduced from 134 to 120 days.
Point changes at Aulani are necessitated by the conversion of one ground-floor Grand Villa to a new quick service dining establishment, expected to open in mid-2013.
At all other Disney Vacation Club properties, point adjustments are limited to the Easter and Thanksgiving holidays which vary from year-to-year. The weeks before and week after Easter are always classified as Premier Season (April 13-26, 2014) while the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday surrounding Thanksgiving are placed in Magic Season (November 26-28, 2014.) These date adjustments are made annually to account for the holidays. No other adjustments throughout the year are necessary in order to accommodate.
2014 point values for all eleven Disney Vacation Club resorts are available now on DVCMember.com and here at DVCNews.com.
