Disney Vacation Club to Raise Prices as Much as $25 Per Point
On January 6, 2015 Disney Vacation Club will be raising the prices of all their sold out resorts. For most of the resorts it will be a $5 per point increase but for Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk and Beach Club the price increase will be $25 per point. This news comes just weeks after DVC ended the $5 and $7 per point discounts on all sold resorts. With the elimination of the discounts and the price increases some of the resorts will see as much as a $32 per point price swing in just a few weeks time.

I don’t understand………..how do “they” raise prices on something that is sold out. Dumb question maybe, but I don’t get it.
Mike, they are referred to as “sold out” resorts by Disney because at one point did sell out of the resort after it was developed, but through various methods Disney does get inventory back (i.e., foreclosures, ROFR, etc.) and then they re-sale “sold out” resorts.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
