Waiting for DISNEYLAND HOTEL DVC Thread (see post 1 for updates)

[KAT4DISNEY]

Okay, here's a source for the huge Transient Accommodations Tax of $2.70 pp - but it's just what people report their guides have told them. I hope DVC publishes the true tax rate soon, to end all this speculation!

There's now several reports from guides on this price for the Transient tax. And it increases in 2024.

Wow. If that's the new tax rate, no wonder they pulled it out of dues - and I'll bet they'll pull it out of 2024 VGC dues too!

That is what I m thinking…but most VGC owners use points there anyway, so it may not seem that different?

I think it’s a bit easier to swallow when you can have a cocktail and overlook Pixar Pier from your balcony at night….

Yeah VGC's is in the dues and a lot cheaper. I think it's going to be a no from me.

I think you might not be alone in that thinking. lol

At $9.06 + $2.73 per point (IF in addition to?) will definitely hurt sales, but maybe that's okay with them. Maybe similar to park attendance, more money with fewer people works well for them, IF it works.

9.06+2.73= $11.79 (can't be... can it?)
9.06-2.73= $6.33 (sounds much better)

Opening pricing for The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be $230 per point with a minimum 50 point member add-on.

Does that mean new members will have a higher minimum to buy in at VDH.??

From what literally everyone who has actually spoken to a guide has been told, it will be $9.06 v+ $2.73 = $11.79. Now, the $9.06 is what you'll pay no matter what in January, but the $2.73 is only paid when you use the points at VDH (and is charged per-point at checkout). If you decided to use those points at VGC, or a WDW resort, then you wouldn't pay the transient tax.

New buyers have a 100 point minimum.

100 Pts is the minimum for new members that was recently announced by DVC. It was lowered from 150 pts however 150 pts is still required to be a fully qualified member with all benefits.

Sorry, it was a dumb question, I remember now that they announced that a while ago. my bad.

Even $9.06 seems high for a resort that isn't anywhere special (beach, etc), doesn't it.??

That’s the curse of Jim Lewis.

VGC:
Point: $310/38 years = $8.16
Dues: $8.04
Total: $16.20 per point per year
DLH:
Point: $230/50 years = $4.06
Dues: $9.05 + $2.73 Transient Tax = $11.78
Total: $16.38 per point per year

Exactly; that's why contracts for VGC disappearing;

the unknown is the incentives. $230 really busted people but what really hurts is that transient tax with HIGH MFs

Yep, VGC just went up... wish I had found a small contract when prices were down.

If you include 3% cost of capital it’s only slightly better.

VDH 230/26.06 = $8.83 + $11.78 = $20.61
VGC 310/22.86 = $14.00 + $8.04 = $22.04

Ultimately VGC is still less valuable in 3-4 years with 3 million more west coast points. I think low $200s is plausible.

Ha. Boy do we have a show topic for you - although we’re going to need Pete to get off the phone. The episode will require…. dramatic pauses. And multiple rants.

The DVC site was down for hours yesterday morning. That’s pretty much it!
