2025 Disney Vacation Club Points Charts!

[AstroBlasters]

What you are seeing for VGC is a normal change made annually. VGC has always had a strange beginning of Jan. When Jan 1 is a Sun, that highest season does not end until Sat Jan 7, when Jan 1 is a Monday it ends Sat Jan 6, when it is Tuesday it ends Jan 5, etc, and in 2025 when it is a Wednesday, high season will end Jan 4; that kind of change continues until Jan 1 is Sat and Jan 1 is the only Jan day in high season. Those other dates in first week of Jan not in the highest season move to the lowest season.

It appears VDH is going to have all of Jan in the low season as in both 2024 and 2025 all of Jan is in low season, including Jan 1.

That first weekend in Jan at VDH is very valuable then since it’s still decorated for the holidays and MK’s are allowed back in…

I’m surprised they kept that arbitrage….

I am somewhat surprised by the VDH Jan points also. Points for DVC resorts are usually initially designed to have seasons, and dates within those seasons, that reflect probable levels of expected demand. It is beyond my thinking how anyone creating a point chart would consider Jan 1 to be in the lowest point season, including because it has always been in the highest season at VGC. Is there something strange at Disneyland Hotel that has regularly occurred on Jan 1, like the hotel kicks everybody out who is staying there?

Week 52 for VDH! At some point that’ll increase? Are they selling fixed weeks?

Hi.. would you pls remind me if the FW is 7nights Sunday to Saturday?
I purchased one a couple of years ago and have used the points and now can’t recall how to make the comparison..
Thanks!

Yes, a FW is 7 nights, Sunday night through Saturday night, checking out on Sunday.



(Some of us consider that a Sunday to Sunday week.)

In 2015, we bought 168 Poly points to buy a Week 44 (first week of Nov) fixed week Lake View Studio that cost 153 points to book by itself. (That 10% markup is standard for fixed weeks).

Today it costs 185 points to book our fixed week.

We have gone from having to give up 15 points to book our fixed week to it being 17 points CHEAPER to book the room as a fixed week over standard booking.

We are pleased with this 20% swing in the value of our fixed week over time.

Said differently, if we had bought the same fixed week based on today’s chart, it would have required 204 points instead of 168.

We're somewhat similar, although not quite as much of a swing. We have a fixed week in early October (forget the week number) that it will be years before we use it (not with the kids in school - they're in 4th and 5th grade now, so we have a while), but we got it for that advantage (and maybe a slight bump in resale value if we ever decided to sell, although unlikely in the foreseeable future). The week was 118 when we got it, so with the premium, it's 130 points for us. That week is now 139 points, so we're saving 9 points on the week. Only a 17% swing for us, but still am certainly not complaining.

Our first contract is actually Week 48 at Copper Creek (usually the week after Thanksgiving). That's also seen an improvement, although not quite as much, and it's much more variable depending on when Thanksgiving falls. The cost was based on the weekly cost in the beginning of December. So it was 107 points at the time, bumped up to 118. Now that week is 114 points, so still a premium, based on that, just not as big of one. In reality though, usually that week has some November dates in it, so it ends up with what would have been a higher point cost than just that December week basis, so we make out a bit better. For example, on the new charts, that week is 115. In 2024, since it's all December, it's the 114. This year, it was actually 119 points because of the early Thanksgiving, there were 5 days in November.
