I’ll certainly be interested to see how it plays out We’re at BLT early January and then maybe October, so I’ll definitely report back

Same. We have a trip this May in the Grand Villa. But now that I think about it, when staying in a BLT GV you have a private balcony viewing all to yourself. : )

Do they have any that aren’t theme park view?

Yes several are Lake View.

Oh yes! I forgot the exact count but yes, some GV are theme park view and others Lake. I was planning to go the lower point route with Lake, but someone kept walking their reservation on a daily basis always blocking that one day I needed. It's a celebration for my daughter graduating from university. I eventually said enough of this and borrowed some points to book the theme park view.

I told her we were booking the 2BR, but we have enough family/friends coming to use the 3BR. Will be a nice graduation surprise.

So I prepaid my dues and this morning I somehow owe another 104 dollars or 16 cents per point. It says actual 2025 tax adjustment. This brings dues up to like 8.90 a point. Did this happen to anyone else.

Every resort has a tax adjustment. It is the difference between what they projected last year and what was actually paid. As I recall, DVC News reported that other than VGF and RIV, every resort would have an additional amount due because the tax bill was larger than they projected last year.

And, when you buy resale, you get the full year responsibility regardless of whether that was a credit or an additional amount due. When you buy direct, they prorate the tax adjustment.

Ohhhhh yes I bought 450 direct in 2024 and 170 resale in 2025. Thank you! However I'm being charged this for all points not just my resale?

Yes that’s how it works. Both contracts were active during the 2025 calendar year, so they’ll need a tax adjustment for 2026 dues. If you had gotten direct in 2025, the tax adjustment should be prorated, but that’s not your case.
