Lowest to Highest Resale Price DVC Resorts

[sruckman1]

Of course, you BUY where you WANT to stay, but sometimes price is a major factor.

Here are, what I believe, are the trends in RESALE prices for the DVC resorts from lowest price to highest

Low to High price
VB - HHI - OKW - SSR - BRV - AKV - AUL - BWV - RIV - BCV - CCV - BLT - VGF- Poly - DLH- VGC

VB is the cheapest to buy in terms of $/point - BUT it has the highest annual dues and that is a killer - buy if you want this resort at 11 months

HHI is also very cheap to buy, but you really need to love this resort and want the 11 month window

In terms of WDW resorts the four cheapest resales in order from lowest are

OKW - there are some really great bargains here and there is still plenty of life left - I like this resort
SSR - this is probably the champion of buying and using the points elsewhere - also has more years left on RTU than OKW
BRV - great resort, but with the dues and shorter RTU life than SSR - buy if you want the 11 month window
AKV - love it or hate the remote location, this is popular with kids and the theming is fantastic

AUL - what more can I say other than this is Hawaii and probably the best resort of them all - buy if you want to go to Hawaii often

Here are the other WDW resorts that are more than the OKW-SSR-BRV-ALK locations, so I broke them into their own group with Poly leading the pack in terms of the most expensive, buy boy is that a great resort and the new tower is incredible.

BWV - I still hate the clown pool - this is a great location for Epcot and Disney Studios
RIV - really nice resort, but it is handicapped by the resale rule limiting use to RIV
BCV - CCV - these are a toss up in terms of price, but BCV has the best pool and Epcot location and CCV has a longer RTU
BLT - this is probably the best buy in terms of price and longer RTU than SSR and close to MK is always in demand
VGF- Poly - another toss up in terms of price and I really love VGF as so beautiful and Poly for the great vibes

The two California locations are the most expensive of them all, and way more than other resorts and if you want to go to the original OG Disney Land, than you have no other options as these resorts sell out at exactly 7 months to the second, so they are super hard to book, unless you own there.

DLH- VGC - I would probably buy VGC over DLH, based on location and the taxes and point chart but that is my opinion

Recently bought CCV and just had a chance to stay in a 2 bedroom. We were shocked at how small the kitchen and dinning areas were. With a family of 6….I don’t think we made the best choice!

The kitchen and dining areas are pretty small in all the DVC rooms. Most of the 2br villas will only seat 6 at the table despite sleeping 8 or 9.

Yes, we stayed at CCV on our 5 resort tour and discounted it partly on the size of the (galley) kitchen. All the newer resorts just can't compete with OKW in that respect unless you're going way up market for a 3 bed villa somewhere.

This is the combo I have. OKWe for SAP and Poly for the Tower. If I buy any more points, they will be Poly direct and/or the new Beach Club tower overlooking Epcot - if I keep talking about that maybe DVD will build it.

That’s the spirit, I will join you in the attempt to manifest a BCV tower overlooking Epcot. Disney, I’m right here, putting money that could be yours into boring but responsible investments, please start building Spinnaker Tower so I can give it to you instead!

I guess it’s in the eye of the beholder (and the size of your group) we’ve only stayed in 1 or 2BD villas at AUL, VGC, and BCV and the kitchens and dining areas all seem generous to us (perhaps because we are usually studio people, lol)— but at VGC you can definitely get 6 around the table, more if you have a lot of kids, and then there’s the bar counter where you can add a couple more. AUL/BCV seating was a bit tight with 7 of us in the 2Bed, but it only matters to us at AUL— everywhere else we’re just doing casual quick meals or snacks.
