DVC 1,000 Point Club (2026)

.... and... ? (lol) What does ChatGPT say is the ideal number of points and resorts to own?

Me too. We originally added on more to take grand parents and over the years have done many trips with friends and family - the latest is a 12-person trip I am planning in a 2 br (8) and studio (4). Will admit I did look at point costs for a GV and ... nope. not yet. That said, we are looking forward to our next member cruise being just the 4 of us.

See above: this will be the 2nd or 3rd time we are having 8 in a 2br. But my kids get the living room and the other family of 4 gets the second bedroom. Breakfasts are fun. My kids are still tween/teen so I make them sleep in the LR of our 1br. They have now become princesses and don't want to sleep on a sofa bed. Murphy beds only, and preferably resorts with TWO murphys in the LR. Ungrateful children.

I think this is an example of why the rooms are getting so beat up and we need a more frequent refresh cycle.

The last thing we want after being in a crowded park or a crowded Aulani pool deck is to go back up to our room and have it be jammed with more people…. I understand other people do not feel this way… but the reason we bought into DVC was for SPACE and not to “Stay Deluxe at a Moderate Price”

Yeah, what was up with that random hallway at Aulani GV?

Also, there is a HUGE difference between Ocean View and Ocean Front with regards to a view.

Aulani GV is definitely worth the premium, IMO.

It was a lot of points, but that view was amazing! We got a 1 bedroom Oceanview for our friends and they ended up with a decent view too but it's the luck of the draw for ocean views at any hotel.

We won't do a GV again there bc of the points, but dang I freaking loved that view.

Does any GV in the entire DVC system have 3.5 bathrooms?

RIV, BLT, VGC…. I think those are all 2.5 bathroom 2BDs…. and I believe their GVs have 3.5 bathrooms….

Also, BWV GV has 3 bathrooms…. but the primary bathroom is an absolute disgrace for a primary bathroom in a Grand Villa…. and having stayed in the BW Presidential Suite, I KNOW they know how to make an amazing bathroom….

The VGF had 4 bathrooms

Seems like really poor layout planning. I would love a random hallway like that at WDW for stroller, but no need for a stroller at Aulani.
