The Full Price List

What Does DVC Resale Cost Per Point at Every Resort in 2026?

Resale prices depend on location, demand, dues, and how many years are left on the deed. Disney’s right of first refusal (ROFR) also acts as a soft floor, since Disney can buy back contracts priced too far below market. Here is where every resort is trading in 2026, sorted from lowest to highest price per point.

† Resale-restricted: resale points at Riviera, Cabins at Fort Wilderness, and Villas at Disneyland Hotel can only book their own home resort. Resale points at every other resort above book across the 14 legacy DVC resorts. Prices reflect 2026 resale market data reviewed October 2026 and may differ from current asking prices. Direct prices reflect Disney’s published rates at the time of review. Vero Beach dues vary by contract type. Subsidized Aulani contracts pay $8.24/point in dues. Old Key West deeds end in 2042 or 2057 depending on whether the extension was purchased. See the full list of DVC resale restrictions.

Resale vs. Direct

How Much Do You Save Buying DVC Resale Instead of Direct?

At the resorts Disney still sells direct, resale typically saves 30-55% per point. The gap is widest at Saratoga Springs and Aulani, where a 150-point resale contract saves roughly $18,000, and narrowest at Grand Californian, where demand keeps resale prices close to Disney’s.

Resort (150 points) Resale Cost Direct Cost You Save
Saratoga Springs ~$15,000 ~$33,000 ~$18,000
Aulani ~$14,250 ~$33,000 ~$18,750
Copper Creek ~$19,875 ~$36,750 ~$16,875
Grand Floridian ~$23,625 ~$34,500 ~$10,875
Polynesian Villas & Bungalows ~$25,500 ~$35,250 ~$9,750

Resale cost uses the midpoint of each resort’s 2026 resale range. Direct cost uses Disney’s published per-point price at the time of review. Neither includes closing costs.

The lower price comes with trade-offs. Resale buyers don’t get Disney’s direct-only member perks, and some resorts restrict where resale points can book. My DVC resale contract guide covers exactly what you give up and what stays the same.

Lowest Entry Price

Which DVC Resort Is the Cheapest to Buy on Resale?

Vero Beach is the cheapest DVC resort to buy on resale at about $50 per point, or roughly $7,500 for 150 points. It sits on Florida’s Atlantic coast rather than at Walt Disney World, carries the highest dues in the system, and its deed ends in 2042.

For Walt Disney World, Old Key West ($80-$110 per point) and Saratoga Springs ($95-$110 per point) are the least expensive options. Both are large resorts with plenty of resale inventory, which keeps prices below the Magic Kingdom-area resorts, and both book across all 14 legacy resorts.

The cheapest price per point is not the cheapest resort to own. Vero Beach costs less than half of Grand Floridian upfront, and more than Grand Floridian every year you own it.

Our Resort-by-Resort Analysis

What Does DVC Actually Cost Per Year at Each Resort?

Purchase price alone is misleading, because a contract that ends in 2042 gives you far fewer years of use than one that runs to 2070. To compare fairly, we spread each resort’s resale price across the years left on its deed and add the 2026 annual dues.

True cost per point per year = (resale price per point ÷ years left on the deed) + annual dues per point

Resort Resale $/Pt Years Left Purchase/Yr Dues/Yr True Cost/Pt/Yr 150 Pts/Yr
Riviera† Resale books Riviera only $118 44 $2.68 $9.46 $12.14 $1,821

Beach Club Villas $135 16 $8.44 $9.81 $18.25 $2,737

Uses the midpoint of each resort’s 2026 resale range and 2026 dues, with years counted from 2026. Vero Beach uses the higher of its two dues rates ($14.89). Old Key West uses the 2057 extended deed; 2042 Old Key West contracts cost more per year. Excludes loan interest, future dues increases, and what the contract may sell for later. Hilton Head and Cabins at Fort Wilderness are not included because they’re listed as call for pricing above.

What the numbers show

Riviera and Copper Creek have the lowest yearly cost, about $12.15 per point, because their long deeds spread the purchase price over 40+ years. Grand Floridian and Polynesian cost less per year than Saratoga Springs, even though they cost more than 50% more upfront, thanks to the system’s lowest dues and deeds into the 2060s.

At the other end, the 2042 resorts (BoardWalk, Beach Club, Boulder Ridge, and Vero Beach) have the highest yearly cost, because buyers have only 16 years to use what they paid for.

Long-Term Value

Which DVC Resort Has the Best Long-Term Value on Resale?

Long-term value comes down to three numbers: resale price per point, annual dues per point, and years left on the deed. On those measures, four resorts stand out.

Riviera: Lowest Yearly Cost

$115-$120 per point with a deed through 2070. The strongest true-cost value in the system, but resale points can only book Riviera.

Copper Creek: Best Value With Flexibility

$130-$135 per point with a deed through 2068. Nearly ties Riviera’s yearly cost, and resale points book across all 14 legacy resorts.

Grand Floridian: Premium Pick

$150-$165 per point with a deed through 2064. Among the lowest dues in the system and a monorail location that holds resale value well.

Polynesian: Premium Pick

$165-$175 per point with a deed through 2066. Low dues, monorail access, and steady resale demand.

Beyond Walt Disney World

Disneyland and Aulani DVC Resale Prices

Grand Californian

Grand Californian is the most expensive DVC resort on resale at $235-$270 per point, and the highest-demand resort in the system. Because it’s a legacy resort, resale points book across all 14 legacy resorts, including Walt Disney World. The deed runs through 2060, dues are $9.52 per point, and small contracts sell quickly, so it pays to check current Grand Californian listings often.

Villas at Disneyland Hotel

Villas at Disneyland Hotel trades at $124-$178 per point on resale, compared with $250+ direct, and its deed runs through 2074. Resale points can only book the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. If you also want Walt Disney World trips, Grand Californian is the better resale buy.

Aulani

Aulani trades at $90-$108 per point on resale, compared with $220+ direct, so a 150-point contract runs about $14,250. It’s a legacy resort, so resale points also book at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Dues are $10.96 per point ($8.24 on subsidized contracts), and the deed runs through 2062.

If Disneyland is the only place you’ll go, Villas at Disneyland Hotel costs far less per point. If you want Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Grand Californian is the resale buy.

Beyond the Sticker Price

What Else Affects What You Pay for a DVC Resale Contract?

The per-point price is the biggest number, but three other things shape what a contract really costs you.

Disney’s Right of First Refusal

Disney has up to 30 days to buy any resale contract at the agreed price. It tends to step in when a contract is priced well below market, which keeps resale prices from falling too far. How ROFR works and which resorts it hits most.

Resale Restrictions

Resale points at Riviera, Cabins at Fort Wilderness, and Villas at Disneyland Hotel book only their home resort, which is part of why they trade below Disney’s price. Resale buyers also give up Disney’s direct-only member perks. Full list of DVC resale restrictions.

Closing Costs

Budget for closing costs on top of the purchase price, plus Disney’s $500 administration fee charged to the buyer on every resale closing. The flat fee adds about $10 per point on a 50-point contract. DVC closing costs explained line by line.
