Blue Card decision for Poly, Copper Creek, or VDH?

[Makai]

Thank you! Yeah, that makes sense. It seemed too easy to do!

Another option if you aren't ready for the purchase but need points is to look into a points transfer from other owners. There are some listings on here at times- https://www.disboards.com/forums/dvc-rent-transfer.29/

Thank you! I will look into that. I had just heard some discussing it on a podcast for the first time, and wondered about this option.

Since I do need at least 50 extra points for an upcoming trip, would you buy direct with the add on tool for a small contract if I decide to push off the big purchase of 150? I am considering Villas at Disneyland Hotel for this small one because my heart still can’t pass it by all together. Is the D23 discount for only 150 point contracts?

I would only say this is a smart move if you want studios for a couple nights at VDH.

Buying direct is so smooth you will have those points asap!

Ok, I had misunderstood the online option! That will keep me from making any hasty decisions today.

I’m sure a guide would possibly call you today if you wanted to buy today.

Good point since the 1 bedroom villa was looking pretty nice on the room tour video I just watched…….. I am not a fan of the Grand Villa there, but the Tower is starting to grow on me. Now I need to revisit that point chart!

How does that work if my official guide isn’t there today? (with commission)

You’d have to wait for your guide to be available if you have a guide assignment. If you have their email I would try that.

Is there any benefit to waiting for the next round of incentives on those small direct add-ons, or does Disney never offer any discounts on points below 100?

Probably a better chance of hitting the lottery than seeing incentives under 100 points. It may have been done in the past but I don’t think it will happen again. They wound sell a ton of points if they did though. I’d buy.

Discounts at VDH start at 100 points

Is this current price per point for 100 at VDH better than it was in the rest of 2025 with the incentives?

 

[Makai]

I am also needing some help understanding the VGC vs VDH annual dues difference in cost. Since VDH does not have TOT built into their annual dues with a lower contracted rate like VGC, I would have expected VDH to be lower than VGC since it’s paid as an additional tax. Is VDH so much higher just for being a new resort, or is it more related to the smaller amount of units at VGC? Buying at VDH worries me on this annual dues price hike again. If I buy there it will admittedly be more of an emotional decision, and the hope that it becomes a premium value with DisneylandForward.

I can’t recall exactly what it was but there was a better one. Not the base incentive but rather a stackable one.

DL DVC resorts have high premiums. VDH is dues and TOT while staying VGC is buy in cost.

I think it was the Welcome Home Weeks discount in Summer 2025. I haven't gone back to look at what that rate was then. As Edna Mode says "I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now."

Another possible option: Would it be a poor decision to own 50 point contracts at all 3 resorts I love so much, or maybe 100 at Poly, 50 at VDH, and 50 resale for Boulder Ridge, and just bank and borrow points alternating them each year, and using resale points to back up any extra days I need at the 7 month mark? Would love to hear feedback from anyone who buys these small point contracts direct. I would miss out on big point incentives, but it would give me more diversity in my home resort priority, and easier for me to stomach paying cash (if I spaced out buying each one over a year or two).

You’d have to be sure the room type and season you want will be obtainable with the amount of points at each. Resale BRV won’t help with VDH at 7 months

If 2 resorts ever have the same base price and identical incentives you can split resorts and still get the incentive. Pretty cool! It’s rare to happen but I’ve seen it. I don’t think the stars will align for Poly and VDH but just wanted share that tidbit of info.

That would be great if this happens! Thank you for sharing it.

If I am using the add on tool via the DVC website for a small contract like 25 or 50 points, do you know if my DVC guide will still get a commission? I haven’t booked any Direct points before, and just own resale currently, but do have an assigned guide. I don’t think I can actually add on right now because I am requesting a September UY for all my direct points, and my resale contracts are for March (I can’t find a place to request a new use year online). That add on tool is going to be a temptation in the future.
