Disney Vacation Club has released their projected Annual Dues for 2022. We will be comparing them to the previous year’s Annual Dues so that you can see how much each resort is expected to increase. Annual Dues are an important part of maintaining a DVC resort. They cover operating costs such as housekeeping and utilities, as well as the property taxes and upgrades.
| Resort | 2021 Dues | 2022 Dues | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Animal Kingdom Villas | $8.0728 | $8.2365 | +2.02% |
| Aulani | $8.3539 | $8.6739 | +3.83% |
| Bay Lake Tower | $6.8998 | $7.0826 | +2.65% |
| Beach Club Villas | $7.4373 | $7.5362 | +1.32% |
| BoardWalk Villas | $7.8126 | $8.0802 | +3.43% |
| Boulder Ridge | $8.1062 | $8.1469 | +0.50% |
| Copper Creek Villas | $7.5903 | $7.6020 | +0.15% |
| Grand Californian | $6.9927 | $7.4824 | +7.00% |
| Grand Floridian | $6.8118 | $7.0077 | +2.87% |
| Hilton Head | $9.9730 | $10.0707 | +0.98% |
| Old Key West | $8.3578 | $8.8063 | +5.37% |
| Polynesian | $7.0542 | $7.3859 | +4.70% |
| Riviera | $8.3833 | $8.3840 | +0.00% |
| Saratoga Springs | $7.1110 | $7.3287 | +3.06% |
| Vero Beach | $11.2307 | $11.9405 | +$6.32% |
As you can see most of the resorts increased their dues by less than 4%, with four keeping their increase at less than 1%. The resort that boasts the highest increase in Annual Dues is the Grand Californian with an increase of 7.00%. This is due to an increase of costs across the board, including property taxes and transportation costs. The resort with the lowest increase is the Riviera, with virtually no increase in their dues at all.
As previously stated, DVC Annual Dues are an important part of covering the resort’s costs. When looking at the breakdown of Annual Dues we can see what costs will be increased and which will decrease.
Some DVC resorts, such as Saratoga Springs and the Polynesian, enjoyed a property tax reduction, leading to a decrease in the tax component of the dues by 1-2%. This tax decrease was also very beneficial for Cooper Creek and Boulder Ridge, as the decrease in taxes and housekeeping offset a large portion of their operating costs.
Majority of the increase in the Annual Dues is due to the rise of operating costs. Majority of the operating costs at Disney Vacation Club resorts are administrative and housekeeping, which most would argue is money well spent to maintain the cleanliness and smooth operation of the resorts.
To get a look at the full budget statements, click on the name of the resort in the table above. The budgets have not yet been formally approved so they are still subject to change, but that is unlikely at this time. The budgets will be formally approved during the Condo Association Meeting on December 9, 2021.
