2026 Dues Predictions and Questions

[havoc315]

CCV, BRV, BWV, BCV, SSR all have great point charts and pretty great dues. BLT point chart is great if you are in resort view category and very low dues. Im not sure I am going to agree with this take at all.

You just proved my point. All those resorts have dues higher Poly and Grand Floridian. And their point charts are not nearly as cheap as Fort Wilderness and OKW.

Their point charts are in the middle, their dues are in the middle.

It’s not a perfect correlation as there are other factors. (BWV has a point chart similar to OKW but dues similar to BCV. BLT has a point chart similar to BCV but lower dues)

But overall, BRV, BCV, and BWV are among the highest dues at WDW. All 3 are in the $9 range. (No longer apples to apples with the non WDW resorts)

BLT doesn't really fit this.

If you compare BLT and PVB they both have three similar view categories and are on the monorail. PVB requires a lot more points in every single category while BLT has larger units outside of deluxe studios and it's the closest walkable MK resort.

BLT and PVB dues are almost the same and BLT dues were cheaper than PVB before PVB IT brought down the price.

I’m sure there are charts out there showing the comparison for the different room sizes and views.

The hard part with using historical data for dues is some resorts started really low.

Example, look at BLT when it opened in 2009. Oh boy do I miss those low dues. Many argued back then that Disney intentionally kept dues low until a resort sold out.

Aulani seemed to have changed the model because of the mistake.

Look at CCV when it opened. People were shocked at how high CCV was. IIRC, CCV started as the fourth highest at that time. However, it has been a slow riser.

We may see similar with CFW. Who knows?

Yeah- i purchased 100 points there when they first opened. I held back from buuing more because of the high mf back then

I have always seen these resorts to be close in points and sometimes even cheaper than OKW.

Their point charts are in the middle, their dues are in the middle.

Wrong.

$7.92 at Poly/VGF vs $8.49 at SSR is not that big of a dues spread at all.

The 2 bedroom at Poly is incredibly expensive point wise. 202 points at Poly for 3 nights in October vs 127 at SSR.

OKW dues are VERY high and there's really no selling point for it unless you love OKW or get a very low upfront price per point. The point chart for sure does not make up for the dues in any circumstance.

We can agree to disagree.

Yep, I would actually love to own OKW, but not for $2+ more in dues, especially when I can just use BLT or any other points at 7 months. (Hopefully Aulani Sub, some day)

I will add to this.
The same 3 nights at BWV in a 2 bedroom resort view is 129 points.

BWV is 147 for a 2 bed Boardwalk View or Poly Theme Park View 2 Bed is whopping 292 points. There is no world where Poly dues makes up for its points charts in the tower.

Another non selling point for OKW and its dues. You can almost always book at 7 months with points that carry lower dues.

I thought Moorea was rough this summer, too.

I stayed there last month and I thought it was fantastic! Full disclosure - it was my first stay ever in a deluxe resort at WDW, so maybe I'm just easy to please.

Correct — BLT doesn’t fit it. There are other factors, point chart is just one very significant factor. But there are other factors that also contribute.

But also don’t be surprised to see movement in this pattern — BLT dues increasing faster than Poly dues.

I’m sure there are charts out there showing the comparison for the different room sizes and views.

And it’s not just room sizes. Maintenance dues go to the pools, property, etc.
So it’s pretty easy to see that AKV has higher dues to the Savannah. BLT may be the opposite — lower dues because of the minimal landscaping requirements.

But generally speaking, a cheaper point chart means a higher amount of the maintenance has to go on each point.
