DUES Info! - All resorts dues have been released

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

Still not 17%, but then you have to add increased cost of anything they are replenishing or replacing, plus possible higher number of cleanings if there are more shortened stays, possible overtime if there is a shortage, etc.

With Disney tickets, dining, LLs, etc. all getting more expensive, it wouldn’t surprise me if the average DVC owner is taking shorter trips. Especially with Disney selling smaller contracts direct, so many of us literally can’t stay more than 4 nights at a time because by the time the 7mo window opens, the availability calendar is very patchy.

Might part of higher housekeeping costs be attributed to guests staying shorter? For example, we did a split stay because we added more days and had to book different resorts. Guests next door were there only for a F&W weekend.

Yeah, I think the rise of short stays are a factor…and while some of us just like to stay for long weekends, I think very rentals are often the most profitable— one night for a after hours event or to get extended hours, etc.

Looking at possibly moving to Florida. One thing I realize is with that, we will be booking more trips with shorter durations. Just a different mindset when you can be at the mouse house within a couple hours.

We live in SoCal and rarely spend more than one night at VGC/VDH and never more than two.

Since I bing it up whenever possible. Another reason to curb commercial renting. Most wont split stay unless they are forced to due to lack of availability.

Yeah, these boards are full of examples of people who would like to extend a trip at 7mo but end up needing to piece together different resorts…and now some of us (at the most popular rental resorts) are having jump around between room types even when booking 10–11 months out.

Last year I remember being happy with only a ~3.5% increase, crazy that this year I'm grateful for "only" a 5.5% cumulative increase across 725 points. Feel like we made some good home resort choices today lol

We have our first actual stays at AKV (club), RIV, and Poly Tower coming up in the next few months. That may determine what we choose going forward or if we flip any of our contracts. I could see us trading in BWV (bc of the expiration ) or AKV (bc of the dues) for a direct or resale Poly or direct LSL.

But then I keep saying I really need to get out to Aulani to see if I like it there to determine if Aul(S) may be in the future. Argh!

I'd really love some super low dues

	VGF	BWV
Operating	5.37	6.29
Capital Reserves	.97	1.41
Ad Valorem	1.98	1.96
Total Dues 2026	$8.31	$9.67

I’d like to compile the whole list of resorts

You have mine for BLT and SSR, and @airjay75’s for CCV

So the reason VGF and Polynesian have such low dues compared to many other properties is chiefly because it takes so many more points to stay there, so there are more points to spread the fees around to? That makes sense.

 

[DianaMB333]

this year I added on BLT -significantly… holy 9% increase …

 

[TheThousandthSoul]

I’m crossing fingers someone will complain at the Annual Meeting: “Walt would disapprove this increase!” The execs will then think about it, and lower the dues increase at only 2% + free Mickey bars for life for all DVC Members!

One is entitled to a wish at the most magical place on Earth, isn’t it?

it is worded “Proposed”

I better see a line item in the BRV budget for WD-40. Squeeky doors be damned!

I will use you as an example to soften the blow when I tell my husband our new grand total.

Wow this thread exploded!

I calculate my total at about $8500 for 2026.

 

[Tatebeck]

Nooooo Mine is $10,113.07

Tax rebate should bring it under 10 because I have a lot of RIV, but

I knew I shouldn't have done the math

 

[CastAStone]

‘spensive

 

[CastAStone]

I remember people telling me I was making a terrible decision to buy SSR, that BLT dues were so low, why wouldn’t I just buy there. It’s only $5 and change!

(Shuffles papers)

I am refusing to do the math. That auto payment function is looking mighty fetching.....

I already have that activated, but now I'm debating switching to a monthly payment

What's the deal on the rebate?

They overcharged because of estimated taxes on some resorts and undercharged on others so some resorts' dues will be adjusted accordingly. Most owed a few cents, but RIV had a 60 cent credit coming
