Point Increases?

Does DVC ever increase the number of points required for reservations?

 

[NJOYURLIFE]

Disney can reallocate point amounts required, but cannot increase the overall points system totals. So if they increase the points needed for a one night stay in a certain season, then they must decrease the points somewhere else at the same resort. I do know that this has only happened once at OKW I think.

Not at the 7 Disney DVC resorts. The points may change from week to week depending on the holidays (Easter changing weeks, etc) - but the resorts will alwyas only have the same amount of points to charge every year. That was a bit muddled! Hope it makes sense!

Overall points can not change at DVC resorts, however the points can and do raise for non-DVC stays - World Passport Collection, non-DVC Disney Collection resports, Disney Cruise etc.

All of the above is correct, but keep in mind that point requirements can, and do increase for reservations outside of the DVC resorts.

Thanks everyone, that does help.

I just wanted to make sure that they wouldn't be upping the points overall for DVC stays that is...

Sorry, Rence. I guess we were typing at the same time. (Although I'm sure you were typing faster. )

NJOYURLIFE is right. Disney has the ability to modify the number of points required for a specific type of accommodation, but can't change the overall number of points for a resort. So they could theoretically increase certain things a little, but they'd have to reduce something else to balance it off.

And Rence and Maistre Gracey are also correct -- what I said does not apply to non-DVC costs.
