DVC Point average

[JudyTL]

I hear there are about 300,000 DVC owners. Does anyone know the average, mean and mode of points owners have. I am most interested in the average.

Thanks

I think your number is high. About 18 months ago when we attended the member update the number was around 80,000. I think the number now is somewhere around 100,000. Don't know the other information.

Acyually, I think you are both right. I think there are approx. 100,000 contracts. Most have more than one person on that contract, leading to 300,000 "members."

I think the DVC promo video has the average number of points from 225 to 310. I have not seen the video in few weeks, but I think that is the average range. Correct me if I am wrong.

Disney Vacation Club Members to Find African Adventure in New Time-share Resort

Members Will Own a Piece of the Magic Near Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- Disney Vacation Club is developing a new time-share resort on Walt Disney World property to meet ongoing strong demand for its unique vacation-ownership program.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas will be located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which readers of Travel & Leisure Family magazine recently honored with the No. 4 spot on their list of the 50 greatest family resorts in the United States and Canada.

"We continue to see strong demand from families who want to build a lifetime of unforgettable memories by vacationing in ways they never dreamed possible," said Jim Lewis, president of Disney Vacation Club. "I am delighted to announce that our members will have yet another place to call home with Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. This begins another exciting new era for Disney Vacation Club as we continue to explore future destination possibilities both domestically and internationally."

The Disney Vacation Club accommodations will feature intricate African-inspired details and home-like amenities, and most will offer sweeping views of an expanded savanna inhabited by a variety of African animals. Members who call this resort "home" will live their very own true-life adventure in a setting inspired by the intrepid explorers and historic expeditions of 19th century Africa.

Walt Disney Imagineers are designing the new village of Vacation Homes to feel curiously at home in the natural world. The architectural style will evoke the look of a thatched-roof, hewn-timber structure that will appear to emerge organically from the land beneath it, drifting in and out of view from lush landscapes like a giraffe hiding in the tall grasses of the savanna. Add authentic artwork, imaginative architectural details and Disney's world-class brand of storytelling, and the result will be an immersive village unlike any other.

These new accommodations are scheduled for development in phases with an anticipated opening beginning fall 2007, with completion scheduled for spring 2009. The project's first phase will include 134 remodeled accommodations on the fifth and sixth floors of the existing Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge building, and subsequent phases will include the construction of 324 Vacation Homes in a new building on the resort property, for a total of 458 Vacation Homes.

The highly anticipated project also calls for construction of a new table-service restaurant, themed pool and water-play area, fitness center, merchandise shop, sports-and-recreation facilities and more.

Disney Vacation Club, now celebrating its milestone 15th anniversary, is an innovative time-share program that lets families enjoy flexibility and savings on future vacations at Disney destinations and more than 500 other popular vacation sites around the world. Since 2000, Disney Vacation Club membership has doubled to include more than 300,000 individuals from more than 100 countries and every U.S. state.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas will be the eighth Disney Vacation Club Resort, joining five others at the Walt Disney World Resort, one in Vero Beach, Fla., and one in Hilton Head Island, S.C. Disney Vacation Club has sold out of memberships at its first six resorts, and sales remain ahead of schedule at its seventh property, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, which opened in May 2004 near the Downtown Disney area at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Wow, I remember when I did my tour of OKW my guide said we have over 7000 members...and we are building a resort in Vero Beach...

 

[DisneyDVCdad]

We have 160 And will hopefully add on 160 at AKV in the next year or so! I'm just waiting for more vacation time! lol

 

[TenThousandVolts]

On the new DVC DVD they send out they have little quiz questions- and one of them is "How many members does DVC have?" and they give (approx) 100,000 as the answer. I know that is what the answer is- I can't remember the exact verbage of the question though.

 

[DVC Dude]

my guess is between 175-200 points.

 

[SoCalKDG]

300,000 individuals with 100,000 contracts.

I seem to recall that when we joined in May 2004, the holding per member was in the low 400 point range. In November 2006, when sailing of the Disney Wonder, a DVC rep said the current current range is in the mid to high 300 range. It would make sense that the average has reduced due to large increase in members with SSR.

I posted this information that I got from the prior year budget (it has not been updated for this years budget)


Here is some information that I found interesting. The number of points is from the 2006 annual budgets posted by members on this board. The cost per point comes from a table that was posted on this board. These appear to be conservative figures since they do not reflect price increases. The number of members is from March 8, 2005 SSR documents I received at closing. Someone may have better figures. I could not find figures on Vero. Someone may have more current information on SSR. I could not find a good way to load a table so sorry about the format:

..........#.of points....Original..........Estimated.........# of.......Points/
..........................price per pt......selling price....members.....members
BW.......4,888,860......$62.75.......$306,775,965. ..19,421..........252
BCV.....3,027,053.........80.00........242,164,240 ....10,796.........280
HHI......1,368,967........62.75..........85,902,67 9.....4,889.........280
VWL.....1,961,985........72.00..........141,262,92 0...7,690.........255
OKW....7,674,838.........51.00........391,416,738. ...26,709........287
SSR.....7,129,332.........84.00........598,863,888 ....13,535.........?
Vero.........?.................62.75.............? ............. 4,968.........?

Total.....................................$1,766,3 86,430....88,008

I believe that DVC has over 100, 000 members now. So from March 8, 2005 to now membership went from 88,008 to over 100,000. I did not calculate the points/members for SSR since the points outstanding are from the 2006 budget and the number of members is from March 8, 2005. If anyone has more accurate information feel free to post it. I believe that the above numbers are not materially mistated.
