If you have a 100 point contract at Poly and you did a 1 week stay in Sept. it's 104 points. Your total cost with maintenance is around $900, vs if you try to get it cash it's closer to $4K through Disney Resorts.
This is very helpful information. Thank you!

You not paying Grand Californian transient taxes has nothing to do with you being grandfathered in, the transient taxes instead of being a separate charge like at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel, are built into your dues at Grand Californian. Unlike VDH where you're only charged the transient tax upon checkin, Grand Cal owners pay this tax regardless of if they use the points at Grand Cal or not. Now the transient taxes at Grand Californian are far less compared to Disneyland Hotels which is a result of Josh D'amaro telling the city to tax Disney fairly so they look better to the city and can build new projects (Disneyland Forward). But make no mistake, your transient taxes are in your dues even though they're a lot less than the 2.73 that VDH pays.
We probably should have been more clear here. Sorry for that. Your right the transient tax is included in the dues for the owners at the Villas at The Grand Californian at about $.51 per point for a total of $8.04 per point dues in 2023. We as owners at other DVC properties do not have to pay this transient tax to the City of Anaheim. However, at The Villas at The Disneyland Hotel every owner regardless of DVC resort has to pay this tax. So if you own VDH your dues proposed for 2024 is $9.53 per point plus the transient tax if you stay at your home resort. As far a what was promised to the city of Anaheim we are unsure of. We know in the past Disney has had it battles with the city over various issues including taxes. Thanks for Watching and Commenting.
Yikes, do people really vacation every 3rd year? Probably the most efficient way to do an extended vacation is to have enough points for a week and a half, starting on the first weekday night, and including only one weekend. Those California taxes are crazy. We own three resale contracts with Hilton and Wyndham, so I get the draw to expand!
There are owners who only vacation every three years to Disney to afford DVC. Especially those with bigger families that may need 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom villas. Multigenerational families who all go will do this. The need to get more points is a real thing. It is nice to be able to go to Disney and stay in nice rooms at fun resorts.

@@626ohanaca That makes sense with the need for larger space. We plan a Hawaiian vacation every 2 years, so doing it every 3 isn't that much different. I'm guessing the cost per point is the same as someone with larger contracts doing the same vacation annually. Are their club dues beyond the points maintenance? If so, hopefully there are enough benefits on the off years. I could never do multigenerational vacations, because nobody gets along or travels on my side of the family, and my wife's family only travels extreme last minute, it would be like herding cats!
The transient tax is offensive!
A person has to be crazy to purchase DVC. Just get a hotel when you feel like going. Don't be locked into going to Disney for your vacation. We did have time share at Wyndam Bonnet Creek ( at Disney) which is more reasonable and flexible, very quick, easy, one call. Going to Disney and all that money gouging has taken the whole place off my radar.
There is flexibility in DVC. It has to make financial sense for you. The cost is a big deal.
DVC members can go to Aulani ( Hawaii), Vero Beach (South Florida), Hilton Head, SC, or use the exchange program with Interval International.
