Borrowed for a bigger trip and then canceled?Weirdly they borrowed 100pts from 2024 before using up 2023. Did they think it looks better leaving the small amount of points in each year?

HOW, do they tax you on using your own property?From the listing...
"(current estimated nightly tax rates for 2024 range from $27.80 to $556 per night)"
$556 per night??? I think the hotel tax is 15% (or very close to that). So that means that the grand villas have a tax-assessment rate of $3,200 per night? I hadn't realized it was that high. Wow.
It’s a fair question! But they do.HOW, do they tax you on using your own property?
Aulani too.Only in CA will they tax you for using your own home.....
MmmAulani too.
Actually, California is one of the very few states that has no state-level lodging or occupancy tax (which states like Florida and Texas absolutely do), and leaves taxing of hotel rooms to the local city and/or county. Now, that doesn't address Anaheim taxing timeshare owners, but if you're talking about cash stays, in Orange County, FL, you'll get hit with state sales tax, Orange County sales tax, and the Orange County Tourist tax...Mmm
guess I’ll stay in florida

I understand that,Property tax is the original wealth tax. You’ll never enjoy your own property rent-free. The geniuses in Sacramento are just masters at taxation
I understand that,
But these owners have already paid their property tax.
Now they have to pay another tax on top of their property tax….
Again, I’ll stay in Florida, at lease there they only tax you once, and there is no income tax…
Except there is no state hotel tax, so don't bother driving up to Sac to complain. The guilty parties are over on Anaheim Blvd.Property tax is the original wealth tax. You’ll never enjoy your own property rent-free. The geniuses in Sacramento are just masters at taxation

Oh, and while we're at it, California has the 15th lowest state property tax rate in the country at 0.76%. Florida rolls in at #23 with a tax rate of 0.89%, and Texas clocks in at a whopping 1.8% putting it at the 6th HIGHEST property tax rate in the country.
ETA: North Carolina also has a higher state property tax than California at 0.84%.
When you add the dues of 9.06 plus this extra tax of estimated/reported 2.80 a points, I think 11.86 a point is pretty rediculous. And that's a brand new resort. What will happen in 10 or 20 years? OuchFacts and nuance don’t seem to be as fun as blanket outrage statements
Your concerns are shared by many. But I don't think it's reason enough to avoid a vacation to Disneyland altogether. It's vastly different enough to warrant a trip. I for one would rather stay in some of the hotels on Harbor than at VDH. But if I'm able to use direct points while paying the ToT, why not.When you add the dues of 9.06 plus this extra tax of estimated/reported 2.80 a points, I think 11.86 a point is pretty rediculous.

I stick with Florida, just not Vero Beach.
