DVC Annual Dues

DVC’s annual dues are necessary to pay the operating costs, such as front desk Cast Member salaries & benefits, property maintenance, theme park transportation, costs to renovate the villas over the years, and the property taxes. As a DVC member, you own a portion of your home resort, and the annual dues are based on the amount of points you purchase.

Given the inflationary nature of our economy, one should expect dues to rise approximately 3-5% per year. Cast Member salaries and benefits make up about 75% of the operational costs covered by the dues, while insurance, property taxes and fuel also make up a large part of the cost, all of which continually rise. Now, a 3-5% increase year after year may be significant, the increase in rates for paying cash to stay at Disney resorts greatly outpaces the rate of increase in dues.

To give you an example of what you’ll pay in annual dues as a DVC Member, let’s say you own 100 points at Saratoga Springs as well as 100 points at Copper Creek. For your Saratoga Springs contract, you would calculate 100 points x $7.11 = $711.  For your Copper Creek contract, calculate 100 points x $7.59 = $759.  The total annual dues bill for your 200 point membership would be $1,470.

Annual dues can be paid in monthly installments by citizens of the United States.  If you’re not a United States citizen, you still have the option to pay monthly if you have a bank account on United States soil.
