As a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member, there are a number of responsibilities and benefits that come with your membership. Among these responsibilities are the annual dues you pay as a member.
What You Need to Know
What Are DVC Annual Dues?
Annual dues are the yearly fees that every DVC Member must pay based on the number of points they own at their home resort. These dues fund:
- Operating costs (housekeeping, utilities, transportation, front‑desk operations)
- Administrative expenses (member services, reservation system support)
- Maintenance and refurbishments (interiors, landscaping, general repairs)
- Real estate taxes for the resort property
- Reserve funds for major future replacements and improvements
How Are the Dues Calculated?
Each year, the DVC resorts estimate their upcoming year’s total costs (operating + reserves + taxes) and divide that by the total number of points for the resort. That yields the “per‑point” rate; your dues = (points owned) × (per‑point rate).
When Are Dues Billed & Paid?
For the 2026 dues year:
- Billing will begin in mid-December 2025 (Statements posted online)
- Payment in full due by January 15th, 2026 (past‑due status often after February 15th, 2026)
- Members may choose to pay in full or enroll in a monthly automatic payment from a U.S. checking/savings account.
What Happens If You Don’t Pay?
Failure to pay dues can result in:
- Suspension of DVC membership benefits (reservations, point usage)
- Cancellation of scheduled stays
- Potential initiation of DVC’s rights under the membership contract (including foreclosure or rights of first refusal for resale)
2025 Condominium Association Meetings
The proposed budgets (which set the annual dues) will be voted on and ratified at each home‑resort’s condo association meetings. DVC is scheduling separate resort meetings (rather than a joint meeting) due to Florida timeshare laws and annual meeting requirements. For 2026:
- Dates for this year’s DVC Condo Association Meetings are December 10th & 11th, 2025.
Why This Matters to You
- Members can budget ahead for the upcoming dues year and plan their vacation spend accordingly.
- If you own points at a resort that is increasing at a higher rate (for example, due to major refurbishments or rising taxes), you’ll want to be aware of your total dues impact.
- Potential and resale buyers should factor the 2026 per‑point dues into their cost calculations (total dues = per‑point rate × points owned).
- Since dues increases (or in rare cases decreases) may signal resort condition, upcoming refurbishments, or new inventory sales, paying attention to trends is important for long‑term value.
Conclusion
The announcement of the 2026 DVC Annual Dues gives members and future buyers an opportunity to get ahead of their budget planning for next year related to their Disney Vacation Club ownership. As always, dues are just part of the overall cost of a DVC membership. Watch for the finalized 2026 DVC Annual Dues amounts to be posted online (typically mid‑December), and consider setting up your payment or auto‑pay plan so you’re ready when dues are billed.
