PS: To get to the $64, you take one half* of the annual dues per point(rumored to be $4.31 on another thread) and multiply by the number of points for the stay and then multiply by the Transient Accomodations Tax (going to 9.25% on July 1 of this year).

322 x 4.31 x 0.5 x 0.0925 = 64.18

* The state of Hawaii defines the daily fair market value of your stay as one half of the daily annual dues for each day of your stay.

As you point out, Hawaii's Transient Accommodations Tax is going from 8.25% to 9.25% as of 7/1/2010. However, it is scheduled to be reduced over the next 5 years and is expected to be back down to 7.25% by 2015.

We may like to think of ourselves as owners but in reality we are renting the portion our point represent for a specific length of time. Disney Vacation Development owns the resorts. Therefore Hawaii, like some other states is going for the tax dollars where they can get them.

My pet peeve is when staying at expensive resorts, paying top dollar for the room and them hitting you with a resort fee per person for use of the pool(s) and beach.
