same. We own at SSR and love the point charts. I still do not think that the point charts should not be higher than VGC, but this is a new DVC then beforeDear DVC,
Please give me an awesome point chart. Think SSR not Riviera (and don't even think about VGC). If so, I'll think about giving you lots of green Mc. Duck bucks for those things called points.
XOXOXO
NVDISFamily and @MrsNVDISFamily
PS @UrsulaWantsYourSoul is right. We need more 1, 2, and 3BR units
Like you'd imagine, it's all a guessing game at this point but...Hi all - I'm not a DVC member. Live in Northern California, so get down to Disneyland once or twice a year and WDW maybe every three to four years? I haven't bought into DVC because it didn't make sense, but with the new tower, it might make sense now right?
I know the points chart and everything isn't out, but it sounds like maybe it will go on sale in the middle of 2023? What is a *guess* (just for order of magnitude) on how much it would cost to buy-in? I'm thinking for our family, we'd need at least the suite and more likely the 1-bedroom, and for maybe a week each year (split into two trips).
Just trying to figure out how many $$$ to start saving up now... I assume there's no "list" I should get on to get in a line for the opportunity? I asked at the DVC desk on the Wish last week and they said there wasn't.
Only other thing I'm worried about is we tend to plan our Disneyland vacations ~6 months out. Maybe a bit more. But I'm guessing with such a limited number of rooms in the tower, it won't survive the 7 month mark, and heck might even fill up right when the 11-month period opens? (If I understand DVC properly?)
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

My best guess is it will be the going rate for "actively on sale" properties like Riviera/Grand Flo/ Aulani which currently is $207/point but I'm betting will go up once before it goes on sale to probably $213-215/point. Then there will be some incentives to bring the price down (the more points you buy the better the incentives).
I'd take a look at point charts and make your best guess of how many points you think you'd like / can afford... and then add a few more. Tee hee. the minimum buy in for new owners will likely still be 150 points.
For comparison, I'd use the Riviera point chart:
https://cdn2.parksmedia.wdprapps.di...alog/resorts/dvc-resorts/RIV_2022_Revised.pdf
I could be lower (like the Copper Creek chart) but most don't think it will be as high as the Grand Cal chart.
Not really a list though of course any guide would love to claim you .
It's great that you're a planner as "this is the way" for DVC . If Rivera is any indicator you are correct that the pod rooms for VDH will go very quickly. Due to the allocation of the other rooms, I would assume 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms will go pretty quickly since there are so few of them in the new tower. Deluxe studios make up the bulk and should be easy to get.
I echo what @UrsulaWantsYourSoul said . Also, you’ll want to plan 11 months out in advance for this one, if it’s anything like VGC. If you are interested, you can call and ask to be assigned to a guide who can put you on an interest list.
Thanks so much for this, very helpful. I'm looking at the original pictures in the first post and I guess the "1 bedroom with lock-out" is actually a combination of two rooms?
But anyways, sounds like the "minimum" is 150 points and if it's $215/point, that's a $32,250 buy-in up-front?
Once you're an owner at this new DVC tower, are you allowed to buy more points later? Or do the total number of points allocated for the tower "run out" at some point and you can't buy more? I actually imagine I'd be happier at the 300 point level, where I could get a 1-bedroom or 2 bedroom villa for ~3 days twice a year. (Rough math). But then that's closer to $65K up-front, which is... fun. I suppose I could use the evil "financing" word, but I'd only do that if there wouldn't be an option to go back later and add the extra 150 points I'd want.
Thanks. I asked at the DVC Desk on the Wish last week and they said someone would call me in a week. So I assume that's the "guide" you reference? If not, I guess I'll call them this week and get myself on this interest list. I just don't want to get to mid-2023 and find out that there's no way to buy in because hundreds of people are already on some secret list.
While it's possible (since there is a supply shortage for DVC in Anaheim) that this could sell out quickly, most DVCs take a couple of years to do such (ok except Aulani which may never sell out - haha).

Thank you all for the advice. I have to admit when I read Ursula's note that I was like "This is why I don't bother with DVC. Ugh." So many rules and tricks and all the sort. Especially for "buying" a property that isn't actually mine in perpetuity. (Granted, a few decades, but).
Especially when I'm fortunate enough to usually pay rack rate and call it a day... but the annoyance is that I want the nicer villa style rooms, and those are exorbitant for everyone not DVC. And haven't had any luck renting points, etc... maybe I'm not far enough out.
End of the day, maybe DVC isn't for me, especially when if all else fails, I just stay across Harbor Blvd and it's about the same distance and I can buy the double the square footage. Being immersed in the magic is super-nice, but when the DVC process is so cumbersome, not sure... (I'm just typing out loud here. LOL.)
Again, really appreciate all the thought.
Just speculating, but I think the minimum point purchase for current members will only be 25 or 50. Also, I think the cost per point will be in the $210 to $220 range (I hope).What's the thought on current member minimum point buy... I'm hoping (and budgeting) to buy 75 points (at $250 a point which might be high) but it if the minimum is 100, that might take me out of this because I won't need that # of points.
