Larger incentives for VDH

I keep looking at this. But the combo of room tax plus higher MFs keeps making this a dealbreaker for me. The cost of the TOT plus MF is about $13 per point per year, assuming you used your points to stay at VDH. That is higher than the yearly fees at Hilton Head and slightly lower than Vero Beach. And just like MFs, the TOT can go up every year. It is set to go up 3% at the end of the year. The upfront incentives would need to be really good to get me over this ongoing cost issue.

Ive done the math backwards and forwards and it's not as bad as many think it is when you calculate the up front cost vs the upfront cost of VGC. Yes it's more if you exclusively stay at VDH and pay TOT but not drastically when you also factor in that VDH has alot more life left on the contract. To add to that there are times of the year where the VDH point chart is much lower than VGC and you pay more in dues on the extra points it takes at VGC vs paying the TOT at VDH.

The issue I have with it too is there are a lot of good neighbor hotels that are actually closer walking distance to the DL entrance than DL hotel is. With Grand Cal at least you can argue that you have the entrance directly Into DCA. With the decreasing perks of staying on property it's harder to justify.

This combined with the loss of early entry is really hard. Honestly, what is the perk of staying onsite at DL now? Specifically Pixar Place and DLH? Maybe if/when DL Forward happens, but right now? I feel bad for the CA guides

I was lucky to get a VGC one-bedroom after people walked past dates that worked for me, but my backup plan was the Westin since it will be after 1/5/26
