DVC News: Lakeshore Lodge Prices, Riviera Sellout & Disney Cruise Giveaway

November is bringing some BIG Disney Vacation Club news! From the first cash prices at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge to Disney’s Riviera Resort approaching sellout, there’s plenty for DVC Members to talk about as we head toward 2027.

In this week’s episode of The DVC Show, Paul, Amy, Derek, and Jeff break down the latest DVC headlines. They’re also joined by special guest Alysha McDonald to kick off the 2026 Keys to Kindness campaign, supporting Give Kids The World Village!

Lakeshore Lodge Prices and Riviera’s Approaching Sellout

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is preparing for its July 1, 2027 opening, and the first cash reservation prices are giving Disney Vacation Club Members an early look at what a stay at Disney’s newest resort could cost.

With accommodations ranging from smaller studios to expansive multi bedroom villas and cabins, there’s plenty to discuss about pricing, value, and what Members can expect from this highly anticipated resort.

Meanwhile, Disney’s Riviera Resort is now 95% sold, according to Disney Vacation Club’s October 2026 announcement. That puts Riviera in the final stretch of its active sales cycle, raising questions about when the resort might officially sell out and what that means for Members considering adding Riviera points.
