Proposed 2025 Disney Vacation Club Annual Dues

Below is a table showing the proposed 2025 Disney Vacation Club Annual Dues for all resorts. These proposed Annual Dues will be voted on and approved at the 2024 Disney Vacation Club Annual Condominium Association Meetings on December 10th and 11th.

What are Disney Vacation Club Annual Dues?

Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Annual Dues help to cover the costs of operating the resort, including things like utilities, housekeeping, and maintenance. In addition, Annual Dues also account for property taxes, as well as future capital improvement funds at the resort.

What are the changes for the 2025 Annual Dues?

The proposed 2025 Disney Vacation Club Annual Dues reflect a year of notable increases across most resorts, with an approximate 4.9% average growth in dues year-over-year when averaged across all DVC properties. Here’s a breakdown of the key trends and highlights from this year’s updates.

Significant Increases at Select Resorts

The highest percentage increase was seen at Old Key West, with a 6.47% jump to $10.5049 per point. This is followed closely by Animal Kingdom Villas, which rose 6.22% to $9.6470 per point. Both of these resorts have significant maintenance costs and operational expenses (you gotta feed the animals), which likely contributed to these higher increases.

Other notable increases include:

• Beach Club Villas: Up 5.74% to $9.1207 per point.
• Boulder Ridge: Up 5.87% to $9.1885 per point.
• Bay Lake Tower: Up 5.60% to $8.0150 per point.

A Special Case: Old Key West

Old Key West continues to stand out this year, not just for its dues increase but also for its substantial buyback activity in the resale market throughout 2024. The combination of higher dues and market demand indicates Disney sees value in both maintaining this property and continuing to resell and “flip” contracts to fully extend this resort to 2057.

Decreases: A Welcome Surprise

This year, two resorts saw decreases in their annual dues—Polynesian Villas and Bungalows and Cabins at Fort Wilderness.

• Polynesian Villas and Bungalows: Dues decreased by 3.69%, dropping to $7.9263 per point. This reduction is likely tied to Disney’s new Island Tower sales. Historically, resorts undergoing direct sales of new inventory experience lower dues adjustments as new members join and share the costs.
• Cabins at Fort Wilderness: Dues decreased by 2.28%, falling to $11.8769 per point. While still one of the higher dues rates among DVC properties, this decrease is a welcome surprise for members and could reflect a stabilization in operational costs at this new unique property.

Other resorts with relatively modest increases include:

• Riviera Resort: Up only 2.33% to $9.0572 per point.
• Grand Californian: Up 2.84% to $8.7974 per point.
• Disneyland Hotel: Up 3.04% to $9.8207 per point.

Vero Beach and Hilton Head: Coastal Costs Remain High

While Vero Beach experienced a smaller increase this year at 3.17%, it still commands the highest dues of all DVC properties at $14.3026 per point. Similarly, Hilton Head saw a 5.36% increase, bringing it to $11.9207 per point. These coastal properties continue to face higher operational costs, likely driven by their beachfront locations and weather-related maintenance needs.

What This Means for Members

The 2025 dues reflect steady increases in operational and maintenance costs across the board, which is not surprising given inflationary pressures and higher demand for resort upkeep. For members, it’s worth noting that while these increases may seem steep, they are still significantly lower than the comparable costs of booking Disney accommodations with cash.

For example, even with the 2025 increases, resale DVC contracts still offer substantial savings over direct cash bookings. With Polynesian resale prices declining and dues decreasing, this could be a great opportunity for those considering adding points at this resort.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Disney Vacation Club Annual Dues represent a moderate overall increase, with most resorts falling within a predictable range. The numbers reflect Disney’s ongoing efforts to balance the operational demands of its properties while keeping costs reasonable for members.

As always, it’s essential to remember that dues are directly tied to the costs of maintaining your DVC property. While they’ve risen, these costs mirror the same increases that impact Disney’s hotel cash rates, ensuring your DVC investment remains competitive in value over time.
