So every once and a while I'll look on Disney's website to see what they are charging for our villas. I just checked out Disney's rack rate for our upcoming December stay....it's CRAZY what a non-member who has no discount would wind up paying! Just out of curiosity...what's your rack rate?

Here's mine:

2011 Fall Season runs Oct. 23 - Dec. 22, 2011

Dec. 2 BWV 2 bedroom - $770
Dec. 3 SSR 2 bedroom - $630
Dec. 4, 5, 6 Jambo 2 bedroom value villa - $705/night - $2115

Total - $3,515...WOW! I'm so happy we are DVC! :dance3:
 
I don't know if you included taxes.
Here's mine including taxes:

BCV- 2 bedroom June 12-18------$5,873

AKV Jambo savanna view studio -Oct. 16-21-------$2,700

total--$8,573

annual dues----$1,700
 
Here's ours....

10/5 - 10/7 OKW Studio + $765

10/7 - 10/12 BWV Standard Studio + $3,038

Total = $3,803

We are also very happy we are DVC Members ! :cool1:

The way we see it, we will recoup the price we've payed for our small DVC contracts in about three or four more stays. :thumbsup2
 


October 2011:

4 nights in Kidani 2BR standard - $3982 + $442 (tax) = $4424
4 nights in BLT-LV studio - $2160 + $240 (tax) = $2400

GRAND TOTAL: $6824!!

Wow! I'm glad we are members, too!!:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Edit: oops! tax already included -

GRAND TOTAL really should be $3982 + $2160 = $6142

Still glad we are members!!:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
 
May 21 - May 24 in Deluxe Studio at SSR = $1148.00

And to think, due to DVC points, my previously purchased AP (with DVC discount), purchase of meal plan and unused Southwest Airline travel funds...these 3 nights/4 days will cost about $250 all-inclusive for myself!!! Sweet deal!

Don't forget to add the 12.5% room tax. That would bring your total to just under $4,000 :scared1:
I usually get studios so those are "only" about $400 per night. The last two times that I took family with I reserved a 2BR (different family members on each trip). Once at Kidani and once at BWV (Boardwalk view). Both times they asked how much the room would be. Both times it would have been over $800 per night (with tax). They could not believe it.
I LOVE MY DVC!

That is a Sweet Deal! All the more reason you will enjoy your trip! Have Fun!! :cool1:

Of course without DVC we would be staying in a regular room, but this fun nontheless (thanks Superwendy), to look at the rates Disney actually charges:

June, 1 Bedroom Lake View 5 Nights $2,320+290 (tax)= $2,610

November 2 Bedroom Boardwalk, Garden View 3 Nights $2240+305 (tax)=$2,745. Our first night of this trip is a rack rate of $900 :scared1:, who pays that!? :confused3

Total for both trips $5,355 (8 nights total).

Only been a member about a year, but I Love my DVC :love:
 
April 10-16 BWV Studio Standard - $475 night or $3035.25
June 5-9 SSR Studio - $340 night or $1530 + June 9-11 AKV 1bdrm Standard - $540 night or $1150.20 = 2680.20
AKV CL Studio Nov 27-Dec 3 - $520 a night or $3322.

Vacations added together come out too $ 9037.45! That's alot for just rooms. Next year though we're upgrading and only doing 1bdrms lol.
 
2 bedroom SSR 12/11-18 is $4410
Studio at BWV 12/18-21 is $1110
add tax of about $690 and you have a grand total of

$6210 :scared1:

Love my DVC :love:
 
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

BWV (I have a boardwalk view studio, CRO just does 'standard' when you book cash)

5 nights $395/night+tax = $2221.90 :scared1:

Then we jump over to BLT, standard view studio and there was a standard view studio option to book through CRO:

5 nights $455/night+tax = $2559.35 :scared:

Grand total if we paid cash for our next trip = $4781.25

Oh my gosh! Nope..I forgot to add tax!

Yayyyy for DVC!!!!:woohoo::cheer2::banana:
 
Our trip in June, regular season:

2-bedroom at BWV = $870/night x 5 nights = $4350 + tax = $4893.75
1-bedroom at OKW = $470/night x 4 nights = $1880 + tax = $2115

Total for 9 nights = $7008.75 :eek:
 
3 nights BCV Studio= $1333 incl tax
7 Nights AKV CL Studio=$3639 incl tax
2 Nights AKV Stan View=$755


Grand total Points 234 points for 12 night ($1170 in dues) ($468 purchase cost) =$1638

Grand total $5727 Rack for 12 nights studios

If 40% Discount off Rack = $4296.00 (I always calculate since this is usually the best)

Daily Housekeeping (if I wanted it) = +$420.00

Plus DDP (Regular if I wanted it) = $1152

Dont need park tix this trip. Still working off old Hoppers.

Free Dining would cost Rack ($5727) with $1152 of Free Dining credits included. Plus $90 memory book and required Park tix. I would also have to add 1 night to qualify for FD for the last leg. That's IF it was offered during June for our units, which it is not unless you booked by Dec 2010.
 
Boardwalk Villas - 1 bedroom (5/27-5/31) - $2430
BLT LV 1 bedroom (5/31-6/3) - $1957
BLt LV studio (for family) $540
KV 2 bedroom SV (6/5 - 6/11) $6547


Grand total for our upcoming 2 week stay is $11,474 with tax, rack rate. We are using 518 points for this stay, so the maintenance fees are around $2500. We also have a couple of nights at Universal from 6/3 - 6/5. We are getting a discount on those rooms, as we are AP holders.
 
I was shocked when I just did this...

AKV - 2BR Savannah view June 6 -16

This wasn't available so I had to pick 2BR Concierge Suite which came to $17,156!!!!

Dividing that number by 591 (which is the total nuber of points that would have taken) gives me a value of $29.03/pt

Multiplying that $29.03 by the 484 points it actually cost me gives me a grand total of $14,050.52 :scared1:

Wonder if I could use this math to convince DH to buy some more points :rotfl:
 
AKV 4 nights GV: $1770.00 per night plus tax.
BCV 5 nights 2BR: $770.00 per night plus tax.

total points: 530. I didn't pay MF on 200 of them b/c we just bought the contract and only paid for the 2011 MF's, so my MF costs are about $1700.

Total rack rate cost of the trip, 9 days, tax included: $12,296.25
 
Haven't taken "our" first DVC trip, so I'll base it off of a "rental" DVC trip this past Sept 11-18.

Value - $694.95
OKW Studio - $2401.84
Renting points off the Dis for OKW studio - $770 (77 pts @ $10 each). :banana:
