Pulled up the DVC News article on this from last year. Looks like they did basically just do a "quiet" increase in the "sold out" resorts at the same time the active selling resorts price increases were effective. So, presumably it will work the same this year. We'll see on Feb. 10th what they've decided to increase on any of the "sold-out" resorts.

Do we think sold outs will go up?

I think some will.

I gotta think yes. Seems to me if they're raising the base price on the actively selling, they have to raise it on at least some of the sold out resorts to continue making the actively selling resorts look like the better deal. If you set aside VGC/VB/HHI as the outliers, looks like BLT/BCV top the list at $275/point with AKV/SSR/OKW/BRV sitting at the other end at $215/point. BWV at $240, CCV at $255, and VGF at $265. BWV seems like a good target for an increase given it will now be lower than the new $243 base price. That said, I feel like there isn't a lot of rhyme or reason as to why each of these resorts has the current price it doesn't, so who knows.

Unless the active resort and sold out resorts are getting to a point that it would make sales even more difficult?

At some point, I have a feeling we will not see the spread that much in base and they will simply use incentives to promote the active.

It was surprising when BLT’s sold out price went $10pp higher than VGF’s. Historically it had always been lower. Could be they’re predicting higher demand at BLT after the MK expansion. Logistically you can’t beat BLT for MK access, but it’s also going to offer the best vantage point… by far! It’s tall with many rooms looking out in that direction. It going to be the best place for a view into the new MK.

It think the only reason is because VGF was lowered..$255 sold out to $207… when it went back into active sales.

They seem to be raising it back up at a typical rate for sold outs so it may pass it again at some point!

I think they will raise BWV / CCV / SSR /AKV

That’s possible, and like anything DVC does, there’s probably many different things considered. The optics are that when people look at the add-on tool, BLT is $10pp higher than VGF. I’m thinking they aware of that, but might be some intention behind it as well?

I feel like they're sending a message with BLT that they don't want to sell that right now. Same with BCV. During the summer, I asked my guide whether it was possible to tour BLT, and she seemed to really dissuade me from BLT - wanted to steer me towards PIT and seemed like VGF would be welcome too if I were really interested in VGF. Maybe they think offering BLT right now would take away too much from PIT sales but not VGF? Or, maybe that someone interested in VGF is going to be in a different category of purchaser than someone interested in PIT or BLT? I could see the latter being true. Maybe, ok, I understand you don't really love Poly, but if money/incentives aren't that big of a deal, perhaps you'd like our flagship resort, the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa!

It’s crazy when you think about how the price goes up for less points… each year. lol

Well for one thing you need more points to book at VGF than BLT so maybe that's part of the consideration? Or maybe this gives them room to offer incentives for BLT whereas VGF hasn't had any since BPK sold out that I'm aware of (they ran out of points and had to ROFR some in fact).

Pretty much everything on the list increased just slightly above inflation (3%) except for...

• Villas at Disneyland Hotel: $245 $248

So, um, already priced too high and not selling well would be my guess--also probably due to the absolutely worst standard views anywhere in DVC. With inflation factored in, this is actually a price decrease from a year ago.

Personally, if the whole Disneyland Forward project gets completed (yes, a huge IF), it'll be pretty spectacular to stay there. But also if it gets completed, you'll likely be parking over by Mickey and Friends, which is a hike to the hotel.

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

I think the going rental rates have a much bigger impact on resale prices than the direct rate. The rental rates set the floor for resale prices and the $500 fee will have an impact on those buyers because it eats into their margin when stripping/flipping.

Wow Poly is really taking a hit. First increased the points chart now increasing the sales price. So glad I purchased last January 2025.

 

[Patmcpsu]

You have to assume LSL will also have the same $243 base rate when it goes on sale. If the resort is anything less than a home run, I have trouble seeing people pay that much (and yeah, there will be promos).

Riviera has the Skyliner, Poly is the Poly, Aulani and CFW aren't selling fast. It feels like DVC's reach may have started exceeding their grasp.

The question is less what resorts are selling and more if resorts are selling. I am confident in the abilities of Guides to sell over-priced timeshares to unsuspecting guests. And I say that as a very happy owner of an over-priced Disney timeshare. There will always be a hook that a Guide can use with any particular prospect. It might not get them to sign on the line that is dotted, but they will at least think about it.

 

[Add-On-Itis]

With RIV and POLY probably sold out by then. Guide will only have LSL to sell. Anyone wanting to buy direct at WDW will be buying at LSL.

Cabbin don't count.

Poly isn’t on pace to sell out by then is it?

 

[Add-On-Itis]

Poly isn’t on pace to sell out by then is it?

Maybe not when LSL first goes on the market. But probably within a year, so sometime in 2028.

At some point, doesn't the price of 2042 resorts have to come down? Or will they just stop selling them altogether?

I wonder if they are holding back on BLT because they plan on building a second tower after LSL is done. They'll need at least one more build before the 2042 resorts go under the knife.

I think they may be looking at an easy hotel conversion next. My guess would be Yacht club gets some attention. Premium location and I think would be a relatively easy pitch for those who do not want to buy LSL.

I think a second BLT tower in the same association with 30ish years left before expiration would be a tough sell.
