Grand Floridian: How Much More Can You Get with a Resale Contract?

If you’re browsing this website, you probably already know that you can save thousands of dollars on a resale DVC contract compared to buying one directly through Disney. Beyond these savings, another way to measure the difference in value between a resale contract and a direct one is the number of points you can purchase for the same price. To illustrate, let’s take a look at a Grand Floridian direct contract versus a Grand Floridian resale contract.

Why the Grand Floridian?

The elegant Grand Floridian is the flagship resort at Disney World. Along with the resort’s convenient location near Magic Kingdom and its fireworks views, the Mary Poppins-themed rooms are some of the most beautiful among the DVC Resorts. Beyond the decor, the rooms at the Grand Floridian also offer some luxurious touches, such as soaking tubs, bathrobes, and room service, which no other DVC Resort currently offers.

The Grand Floridian is also a perfect place to stay if you enjoy fine dining. The resort is home to three signature restaurants, including Citricos, Narcoosee’s, and the award-winning Victoria & Albert’s, which has earned a Michelin Star. For more family-friendly dining, there’s character dining at 1900 Park Fare, the Grand Floridian Cafe, and the quick-service restaurant Gasparilla Island Grill.

What Does a Grand Floridian Direct Contract Cost?

As of July 2026, a direct contract at the Grand Floridian goes for $265 per point. If looking at an average-size contract of 160 points, that direct contract would cost a total of $42,400.  For that 160-point contract, you could get a weeklong stay in a Resort or Preferred View Deluxe Studio or Resort Studio at the Grand Floridian for most travel periods.

How Much Can You Save with a Grand Floridian Resale Contract?

As of May 2026, the average price per point for a Grand Floridian contract is $160 per point. For a 160-point resale contract, the total cost would be $25,600. That’s $16,800 less than the cost of a 160-point direct contract!  

How Many More Points Can You Get By Going with a Resale Contract?

Another way to look at the difference between direct and resale is that if you were to put the $42,400 that you would have spent on a direct Grand Floridian contract towards a resale contract instead, you could purchase a 260-point contract! In other words, buying a resale contract instead of a direct one gets you 100 more points!

With more points, you can have more vacations, or you could upgrade your accommodations to a better view or to a larger room. For 260 points, you could have a weeklong stay in a Theme Park View Resort Studio during most travel periods or a weeklong stay in a One Bedroom Villa during the cheapest travel period.

Bottom line: Buying a Grand Floridian resale contract instead of a direct contract can save you tens of thousands of dollars or get you more DVC points for more vacations, better views, or larger accommodations!
