    How do you think they arrived at the idea to raise our dues when the resorts were shut down for months? Makes no sense.

      $15/hr min wage negotiated with the unions.

      I totally agree! I could see maybe a very small increase, but this is a little much for this year.
      The resorts were closed for essentially 4 months, how much maintenance could have needed to be done? I had though we would possible see a discount this year.. We weren’t able to use our points this year and may not be able to use this coming year depending on how the coronavirus goes! Yes. I know resorts and parks are open, but the crowds i have seen pictured the last few days with the rate the coronavirus has been spreading is ridiculous! The numbers are worse than when wdw was closed, but it seems capacity has been highered! Not for me when there’s family health issues.

    Is this the cost to own one week/year at the respective resorts? Thank you.

      No. You buy “points” and these are the annual maintenance fees.

      As audrey7703 said, you buy points and can use them throughout the year, and the costs you see above are the dues which are per point. Eg if you buy/have 150 Saratoga springs points then it’s 150×7.11 for the yearly dues.

    guess they gotta up my dues to give my 125 credit for cruise (using dvc points) we were forced to cancel, and don’t even know if our re-book will sail let alone when we can use next points.

    This goes to show that they don’t care about their members at all we also have been going through the virus and a lot of people have no jobs right now this is one way that they will get their points back because people will end up selling

      They run a business. They have experience from September 11th and the downturn from that.

        I am confused… you are ok with them being shit down for 5 months and still increasing the dues???

      • Paul Krieger

        November 9, 2020

        The shutdown has no reflection on 2021 dues… 2021 anticipates a fully operational year. As mentioned in the article, we will learn more in the coming months regarding whether we receive a credit applied to 2020 dues as a result of that shutdown.

    • Mike

      November 9, 2020

      It’s for the $15/hr min wage going into effect in 2021. There might be a credit offsetting some of it from the closure. We’ll find out at the condo association meeting.

        The uncrease shouldn’t be that high since the resort was shut down. There should be money left from this year’s dues to put towards 2021. This increase makes no sense. I love DVC, but if we keep getting increases lime this, my husband is not going to want to keep it. We jave been members for 5 years and the dues have gone up over $200! Sure, it’s cheaper than paying g rack rate (for now), bit for how long when EVERYTHING keeps going up, and the pandemic is not getting any better?

    Hey Paul, I appreciate the work. The resort link for 2020 dues is showing the 2019 budget for OKW and VBR. Can you correct?

        Thanks Paul, OKW is still showing 2019 🙂

        I must not have enough coffee yet… Try now. Lol – Sorry

    With everything shut down for months and people still unable to travel to Florida, I think it’s quite out of line. There’s no guarantee that things will improve for the beginning of 2021 either.

    While the resort was shut, dont they still have plans to renovate buildings, repave the parking lots or run the heat/ac units? Maintenance still has to take place, and property taxes never ever go down. $15 min wage is what they pay the brand new employees not the ones who have been there a while.
    Dont like the increase? Sell. Its a luxury item, not a necessity. Be greatful we have jobs and can afford to own DVC. My next door neighbors are wondering how theyre making their bill payments and if their Restaurant will be open for the holidays or shut down by the Governor. Welcome to NJ…….
    Sorry its a brash response, but its a luxury we are fortunate to be able to own at DVC. We work to enjoy vacation, it’s the costs of doing business.
