Fall/Early Winter 09/30/25 Incentives Released


I didn’t expect they’d be better. And they are definitely not.

I always wonder if the guides get frustrated when a non-exciting incentive period rolls out. “THIS again?!” It would make a sales job tougher I’m sure.

I’m feeling like maybe I timed something correctly for once.
 
Looking at this, glad I signed a contract for add-on points last week. Originally I was going to wait until Nov, but you guys reminded me to act earlier. The holiday period should have better incentives, IMO though. Right before we start overspending on parties and gifts. Who knows, maybe Disney knows summer is better for them to offer good deals.
 
It looks like the interest rates are creeping up. Now 11.5% nominal, going down to 11% if you do direct debit. Wasn't it 11%/10.5% before?

Interest rate is the same as last incentive period, and varies by down payment (10 vs 20%). I saved the last incentive sheets for comparison. You can get down to 8.99% with a 20% down payment and direct debit.
 
DVCnews is up with their summary:

Aside from all of us who bought during the last round of incentives feeling good about our purchase :-), about the only thing noteworthy to me is that the spread between new member and add-on pricing isn't very significant once you go above 150 points - 100, 125, and 150 point levels are still decent. Quickly eyeing Poly and RIV, about $1 or $2 at most levels above that.
 
Prediction: The Guides will be just fine.

If you are Very Online, and not just Very Online but Very Disney Online, you probably know the ebbs and flows of DVC pricing. And for those of us who are Very Disney Online, the changes in incentives might influence our buying behavior.

But most of the prospects on the sales floor are not DISboards DVC Denizens (tm). They are people on vacation who have no idea what the incentives were yesterday.

As to why net prices ebb and flow? I have a suspicion. I suspect the number one determinant of how easy (or hard) it is for Guides to sell points is how many people are in the theme parks that week. Where does most of the tour flow come from? Almost certainly, the body-snatcher kiosks in the Parks. More people in the Parks, higher tour flow. The higher your tour flow, the lower your yield can be to still hit your sales targets, which means you can nudge prices up a little bit, which means profit.

Even most current owners who are not DDD probably have no idea what the incentives are from week to week, because they are not currently thinking about buying, or selling, or stalking for a room, or....because to them, it's Just Vacation. In other words, prices and incentives are not set with the concerns of the DDD in mind.

If memory serves, the best incentives last year were also during the "hotter and more humid than the mouth of a St. Bernard" season.
