DVC vs. Disney Collection

[JVSJr]

I'm sure there is some reason, but does anyone know?

Why is the point value of DVC vs. Disney Collection seem so out of balance?

Consider the following:
(using only weeknights in Regular Season)

Polynesian Resort - $369 or 41 points
Contemporary Resort -$ 390 or 32 points
Port Orleans Resort - $155 or 18 points

vs.

Beach Club Villas - $345 or 13 points
Beach Club 1BDR - $465 or 28 points
Boardwalk Villas - (same)

I just don't understand why one could stay 3 nights at BCV or BWV vs. 1 night at the Polynesian.

Weekends are even more of a disadvantage to DVC members.

I understand that DVC and Disney are separate and there may be some associated expenses, but is there a reason for such a disparity in the point value?

Even is Disney charged a point equivalent of a 1 or 2 bedroom (28/34 points), they list those rooms for $465 and $745 at BCV.

A DVC member can get a 1 bedroom at OKW for the same points as a regular room at Port Orleans. The cash difference is $155 vs. $405 (rack rates).

Sorry for rambling on here, just trying to comprehend their thoughts on this.

When I asked my DVC sale person about this she said that Disney and the DVC properties are consider separate. So when, as a DVC owner, want to go to a non DVC resort like the Polynesion, MS/DVC has to cut a check to cover the value of that room. So basically the DVC pays for your room and takes your points. Now to hinder this they established high point values for the stays at these resorts and in my eyes it doesn't really matter. The 5 properties that are around the MK are great, there really isn't a need to go elsewhere.....

Maybe the process will help you understand why ALL the cash equivalent options are very expensive. First DVC contracts for a cash price for the items in question. Then once you trade your points for one of those items, DVC takes the points you give up and uses them to get rooms at DVC resorts. Not all rooms will be rented and CRO (or some other entity) takes a cut. And the rooms are frequently discounted. Since this has to be a zero sum transaction when looking at the overall process, there are too many variables for it to work for the members from a cost standpoint.

I agree that the DVC Resorts are the best. I just had a bit of sticker shock when we thought about trying the Contemporary or Poly on our next trip.
