Can somebody explain to me how VDH is so much higher than VGC, is only a couple of years old and doesn't have transient tax included in the dues?

 

[eticketplease]

Went from $10.50 to $11.20 so more from what I see (I dont own there)

Yeah, I was looking at VDH line for some reason which is three cents more than 2025 old Key West

I’m not awake yet I was looking at VDH

Lots of info before coffee for me. I thought VGC was $8.83

Just a guess from me. VGC is very small and has less to take care of. Exterior is split with hotel for maintenance I presume. But others are more skilled than me at looking at financials.

Can you imagine if the transient taxes were included in the Dues though?

It’s been discussed other places I don’t know for sure but it seems like starting with Copper Creek that they overestimated the dues when it goes on sale and then it usually only has smaller increases.

Is it ok to be sad because I did not overestimate how much we’d need in DGCs to cover our BWV dues? At least we’ll have some $ left for our December trip!

Good point.

Percentage wise has been pretty big increases the first 2 years though. Hopefully it will trend down.

Yes, compared to Riviera or Copper Creek. It certainly has increased at a much faster pace. I don’t know if that’s just a California thing or what

DVD retains no less than 2 percent of the total ownership interests in each unit declared in theCondominium and is responsible for annual dues with respect to its retained or unsold ownershipinterests. DVD has retained ownership interests equivalent to approximately 280,776 vacation points.In addition, DVD had unsold ownership interests equivalent to approximately 155,631 vacation pointsas of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, DVD annual dues paid to the Association were $3,323,284.

Who said DVD doesn't pay dues? Says right there they do and how much they paid.

All increases are higher than historical average for all the WDW resorts looks like

And that's not all that surprising. Inflation has been running hotter than it has for a while now, and unemployment in Florida is a smidge lower than the national average. I believe it is also likely to be increasingly difficult (and therefore more expensive) to staff unskilled labor positions given the current policy environment.

 

[cruisehopeful]

I feel like they raised all the dues so Vero and CFW wouldn't look so much higher than all the other resorts.

Gulp, yuk.

Add-on-itus prophylactic!

Yea I really thought VB would be over $15 this go around

 

[TheThousandthSoul]

Wages but also construction materials - aren't they higher than usual because of the new tariffs on imported goods?
And no, I don't want to get into politics.

I think you are referring to the "developer guarantee." I suspect (but do not know for sure) that the budget includes projections for sales, particularly at active resorts, and those new owners pay a pro-rated portion of Dues. The budget also probably has an estimate of how many owners will not pay billed Dues. If the pace of sales is lower or the fraction of non-performing ownerships is higher than projected, DVC will cover it.

I didn't think this means "We don't pay Dues on anything," as you correctly point out.

I feel like they raised all the dues so Vero and CFW wouldn't look so much higher than all the other resorts.

If they did, they are breaking the law. Legally, Dues at a property are required to track (estimated) costs to run and maintain that specfiic property. They don't get to just decide what the Dues will be willy-nilly. This is a little tricky at the beginning of a resort's lifetime, because they have to estimate the costs without having the benefit of existing operaitons to learn what's really going to happen.

The annual Dues Rollout Day is about the only day of the year I am happy to not be a member of the 1,000 point club.

Me and my Disney math.. that’s only $265 more for the year. No biggie.

In reality though I have a lot of points. I will add up my increases later to see how much more per year I will be paying total. I will post it here

 

[han22735]

Man these increases are adding up....I've owned SSR for 11 years and my monthly has gone from $67-$125. I get things are getting more expensive but what will they look like in another 10 years. Still way cheaper than paying for the hotels cash though.
