Add on tool changes?

Fascinating to see the add on tool, as an International owner we just see an apologetic T-Rex

It's fun to play with for the new resorts but really all it does is contact a cast member to call you, you can't actually add on with it which is probably a good thing. Can you imagine just clicking a few buttons entering your CC info and bam an instant 50 extra points in your dashboard?

This is primarily due to the transient tax, but GCH is also subject to the same tax - they just bury it into their annual dues. I think this helps keep the tax "out of sight, out of mind" for GCH buyers/owners.

Somehow, GCH still has lower annual dues ($8.80) than VDH ($9.82) despite that. Maybe because VDH has a slightly cheaper points chart?

Is it possible for VDH to change to change to the same scheme as GCH? If they did, would it help improve sales?

The tax though for VGC is a lot less than VDH…had they built it into the dues, those would be even higher.

I think that is why it was kept separate because at least an owner who trades out of VDH, isn’t paying that high rate.

I suspect they also got a sweetheart deal on the taxes with the City of Anaheim when VGC was built, and that VDH got much less favorable treatment.

They had an agreement when they were planning the hotel originally as well for what became VDH but then because Disney wanted to move it 1,000 feet and the agreement was no longer valid because of it and then Disney pulled out.

I'm sure there was some sort of agreement with VDH to finally go up just not as great as the earlier one and certainly not like VGC.
