DVC Value Calculator

Yeah I’ll second that! Stick all of March in with Christmas

Then they could lower the 2nd half of Feb by putting it with 1st half of Feb in Season 4.

Honestly, the charts don’t make much sense from a newbie’s point of view. Seems like May through September would be the lowest.

There are some calculators:

Summer used to be really high points and they have brought it down some. They may continue.



Now Fall is more points than summer.

^all the point charts over the years!

Yes all the WDW resorts follow the same 7 seasons and same dates for each.

But the resorts don’t all follow the same flow.

Like compare VGF standard studio with SSR:

View attachment 1050717View attachment 1050718

At VGF Seasons 1-4 have very little difference in points. Weeknights are 16-18pts; Weekends 20-21pts.

At SSR Season 4 weeknight requires over 50% more points than Season 1.

There’s many differences like this throughout WDW point charts. In May BCV weekends are 16pts a night when SSR is basically the same with 15pts standard and 17pts preferred. But then they diverge other times of year.

If you look at the percent of points to jump to 1BR and 2BR, those change at different rates across different seasons and resorts. Some resorts jump a little for weekends, other jump much more. One jumps a little to the next the season, another jumps alot.

The result is relative values are not consistent.

So individual resorts aren’t confined to keeping pace with others. Some resorts can increase Dec 1-23 and lower something else to offset even if that doesn’t happen at all the WDW resorts.

And while WDW does keep the same dates/seasons I don’t think it’s a requirement because VDH and VGC are vastly different even though they’re both considered ‘Disneyland Resort’.

I think something to keep in mind is some resorts just have more options to spread the points over. VGC, BRV, BCV have no views and with the exception of VGC no grand villas.

SSR has every accommodation type plus treehouses and split between two categories.

Disneyland tower has 2 additional studio types with Garden and duo plus two view categories that VGC just doesn’t have.

Both VGF and PVB added a third category with their additional units for Theme Park view which they could use to spread the points a little easier.

I came on here thinking there was a calculator . . .

This thread is 3 years old and it seems like @InabinettheCabinet is no longer maintaining it.

There is also a value over time chart thread, but I’m not sure where… maybe someone could link them?

Ah yes! I remember it was Ehh who made it and was able to find it that way.

Thread 'Most Economical Resort - Beyond Year 1'

Jul 21, 2024

So DVC Resale Market does a solid job looking at the dues-inclusive economics of buying a DVC contract every quarter, last one being from May: https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/blog/best-economical-dvc-resorts-to-purchase-spring-2024/.

They take the tried-and-true method of taking the upfront cost then dividing equally across years remaining to get a cost/year figure that takes into account contract length. Then they add in the current year dues for an approachable and good breakdown of DVC resort economics.

But what if you want to know the economics of DVC contracts beyond year 1...
