How valuable will DVC be after Star wars opens?

[jodifla]

Just looking at the sky high prices that WDW hotels command now, I can't help but wonder how valuable DVC will be in the next year or two, especially if Star Wars is as good as FOP.

Glad I took the DVC plunge more than 20 years ago even if we broke all the rules by financing our luxury purchase.

It pays to be a rebel sometimes.

I missed the boat many times in my life due to timing but 19 years ago, I knew I wanted DVC, but never imagined how much we’d enjoy every minute of it. Avatar, now Star Wars, the fun continues!

To me it will still be as valuable as it always has been. To future resale buyers, if it is half the cost of a current room it is a good value. I guess it will depend on how much Disney raises room rates.

I agree that the only comparison is to Disney hotel room rates and the savings over those.

I'm just wondering how much the cost of DVC rentals (especially at BC & BWV) will increase! Not that we'll be renting our BWV points - we'll need them for ourselves and family!

In the past, new additions to the parks have not been a driving force behind increases in resale or rental prices for points for any WDW DVC resorts, e.g., Pandora opened in May 2017 and AKV prices followed that for the resorts as a whole for increases leading up to and after the opening, and BWV and BCV did not have any changes from the regular patterns with the opening of Toy Story Land. Increases typically come slowly over time. Resale prices are particularly impacted by market conditions and Disney's periodic increases in the price of points. Rental prices, for which there has never even arguably been a "bull" market for increases, have increased little more in the last 20 years than the amount needed to keep up with national inflation rates.

Glad to own BWV 400 pts. Prices go up in 2019

There may be some modest bump. I'm sure Star Wars land will generate a lot of interest. Just not sure how many of those people will be driven to return year-after-year just because of the one expansion.

I've been debating about selling my OKW points (keeping BCV), and it seems like prices have been pretty good. Higher than when I sold a small contract about 8 years ago! Maybe I will wait and see, but since it expires in 2032 there's got to be a dropping off point.

expires in 2042, not 2032.

 

[Dancind]

Oh cool, I've got 10 more years to go to WDW! Ha, I do remember that I will be 89 when it expires.

I’ll say it, not a fan of the movie & just don’t get the fuss re FoP after riding it at least 10 times. Will file it under there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

That said, SW better deliver the goods lol, I am emotionally invested in that franchise.

As for increasing value of my DVC, in theory i suppose. Since i rarely rent my points & have no interest in selling them, the the inherent value is being able to book X trips per year on points. Hopefully, demand won’t get even worse for those already difficult bookings at 11 months (studios @ BC Standard & AKV-value).

Same. I fully expect rental prices at BWV and BCV to increase for Star Wars.

I am just glad i don't have to spend $600 a night for 1br deluxe resorts anymore. it is "paid" for already.
