DVC Direct Price Increase Coming February 2026

[pkrieger2287]

Heads up for anyone considering buying direct from Disney Vacation Club — another round of price increases is coming in early 2026.

Starting February 10, 2026, here are the new per-point prices:

• Polynesian Villas & Bungalows: $235 $243
• Riviera Resort: $235 $243
• The Cabins at Fort Wilderness (DVC): $235 $243
• AULANI, Ko Olina: $235 $243
• Villas at Disneyland Hotel: $245 $248

This continues the annual trend of Disney bumping up direct prices in Q1. If you’re weighing direct vs. resale, this could be the nudge to decide sooner rather than later — especially with some resale savings still offering 30–50% off.

Curious what others are thinking — does this impact your plans to buy direct, go resale, or add-on?

My poor Aulani will never sell out.

Think they rent most of the rooms out anyway. So they probably dont care if it does.

Yeah it's true. Good for them, not awesome for owners.

Presumably there will be a commensurate increase in incentives.

Maybe. I know I bought VDH before the last increase so even with incentives seeming higher I still paid less.

Active/Live resort $/pt are just about to the older "sold out" resorts... That's kinda odd.

Yeah, there’s a small price creep over time, but maybe not a dire emergency to buy now if one is on the proverbial fence.

Won’t be surprised if “sold out” pricing increases too - if not now, probably soon.

I wonder if they announce sold out resort increases like they announce active resorts or if they just do it and someone just stumbles upon it and lets the masses know.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I imagine it is a much “quieter” announcement, if any at all.

I just logged in and no increases as of yet that I can tell.
Everything is $215 or more with no mention of HHI, VGC (expected) or VB

There was a special offer for Copper Creek (Which you already reported )

Yeah it's true. Good for them, not awesome for owners.

Yup we need more inventory declared so it's a little easier to book

We need that standard view Grand Villa to be declared.

talk about a unicorn booking

Will be harder to get than a value studio on a holiday weekend.

For all those worried that resale was going to crater due to the new $500 fee. The answer is a defiant no!

I was thinking the same. With these price increases a 50 point contract is now $400 more. So I pay an extra $100 for the resale fee but am saving thousands

I dont think it will. But its really too early to declare that it hasn't.

In early 2022 when VGF2 went on sale direct price was $207pp, same as RIV. They both went up to $217pp later that year.

$207pp in 2022 is $234pp in today’s dollars.

$217pp in 2022 is $246pp in todays dollars.

Riviera went on sale early 2019 at $188pp. After it opened Dec 2019 price went to $195pp.
In today’s dollars that would be $236pp and $245pp respectively.

Inflation makes me feel old. Now I know what Yogi Berra meant by ‘A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.’
