Disney Vacation Club 2021 Prices

• We hear from prospective DVC members daily who
  are wondering if its better for them to buy
  Disney Vacation Club through resale, or direct
  through Disney. To help answer these questions,
  weve created a table comparing Disney Vacation
  Club 2021 prices to resale costs. Spoiler
  alertyou save between 33 and 54 when buying
  DVC resale.
• As this is being written on February 3rd, DVCs
  Riviera Aulani will soon see price increases on
  February 6th, right on the heels of some price
  increases at a handful of the sold-out resorts,
  making DVC resale more attractive to most buyers.
• Disney Vacation Club isnt letting a global
  pandemic slow down their pricing strategy and is
  celebrating the new year with their typical
  annual price increases. DVC has announced that
  both Aulani and Riviera will see a 6 per point
  increase from 195 to 201, effective February 6,
  2021.

• Several sold-out resorts have been priced over
  200 per point for quite some time, however this
  is a high-point for resorts that Disney is
  actively marketing.
• Five of the sold-out resorts already saw a price
  increase last month, with Grand Californian
  approaching the 300 per point mark. The other
  DVC resorts that have seen an increase in January
  2021 are Bay Lake Tower, Beach Club Villas,
  Boardwalk Villas, and Polynesian.
• Here are the details on the new DVC price
  increases for 2021

• 300 per point was once unheard of, however with
  Disneys hotel costs continually on the rise and
  outpacing inflation, even at 300 per point,
  Grand Californian remains a benefit to members,
  economically. Buying direct, you save up to 50
  off your annual Disney vacations. These savings
  are multiplied when you buy resale, since youre
  saving an additional 33 to 54 off your DVC
  membership.

Whats Best for Me and My Family? Dvc Resale or
Direct?

• Although there are a few restrictions when you
  buy resale, the huge savings offset these
  restrictions. For example, if youre saving
  15,000 when buying resale, you would have had to
  buy 50 annual passes with your direct DVC
  discount to equal the same savings.

• With so many of the direct membership extras,
  such as Moonlight Magic and even Annual Passes,
  still discontinued, its remaining more and more
  difficult to justify the direct Disney prices.
  Buying DVC resale just makes more financial
  sense.

• Disney has increased the minimum number of direct
  DVC points you must purchase to receive the
  membership extras to 125 points. If these
  benefits are still important to you after
  considering the cost vs benefits, we recommend
  making your resale purchase first, then buying
  125 points direct through Disney. The reason for
  this is that DVC will match your use year if you
  already own a resale contract. If you dont need
  125 points though, resale is your best option
  since it saves you 50 and you wouldnt receive
  the benefits anyway.
