DUES Info! - All resorts dues have been released

This has likely been posted already but Paul got his dues article out:

Something I found interesting, he linked to each resort listed the Condominium Association Notice. I found it interesting to see the total cost breakdown for each resort and associated dues components. Gives some perspective.

Example OKW has projected revenues of $58 million, house keeping $18 million, and transportation $11 million.

Bay Lake has project revenues of $30 million, house keeping $11 million, and transportation just above $2 million.

Not looking to make any huge analysis statements that we all don't all intuitively already know, but those towers and proximity to the parks have a lower cost profile. I knew OKW transportation would be higher but not that much higher.

Maybe if they turned the AC down in the buses they'd save some money.

TBH, BLT perplexes me somewhat. The dues are still low, but even before this year's large increase, their compounded annual growth rate was 5% - https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/buying/annual-dues/. So, not only does BLT have one of the highest CAGRs, it is the resort with the highest percentage increase this year - it's CAGR is going to exceed VB once you factor in this year's increase.

And, when I think about BLT, I just don't really get it. What drives the increase in dues here that is higher than average? Is there something unique about its sharing of expenses with the CR vs. VGF and PVB? Were dues originally just really underestimated, and so we've got years of playing catch up? I realize some of this year's increase is on account of the recent hard good refurb, but we've got many years of data now with increases in dues on the high end of things (in percentage terms).

And I say this as someone who really likes BLT and very nearly bought a good number of BLT points a few months ago (but am sort of really glad I've ended up with CCV instead ).

Don’t mean to turn this into a BLT bashing thread, but I can’t help but comment that the kitchen cabinets they installed are hideously cheap! It’s a low quality sticker on pressed board. Staying there this past August, we had just come from Riv and the difference in material quality throughout was stark. It won’t last.

So I wonder if that’s an additional variable affecting dues (not necessarily this year, but in general).

I’m not sure, I was thinking it should be low because it’s just a tower, but maybe its lower capacity so dues aren’t spread out as much or boats/marina causes higher maintenance?
Are we paying for an indoor monorail station??

I’d love to know what it is though!!

Is the 2025 estimate for the upcoming dues or the ones we already paid?

2025 is what we already paid. It’s not updated yet.

Another breakdown coming soon!!

Can’t wait!!
You’re either going to make me feel good about BLT, or contemplate switching All 161 BLT points to CCV. lol

Seems like the same that they are using everywhere now. .
