DVC Condo Association Meeting Recap





Members to Receive Credit for 2020 Annual Dues





Due to the extended closures of the DVC Resorts when the pandemic initially began, DVC has announced that Members will be receiving a credit towards their 2021 Annual Dues statements since the resorts collected more money than needed for operations. It is important to note that if you bought on the resale market or sold a contract in 2020, the Member who is the current owner at the time of the 2021 statement release will receive 100% of the credit. For those who bought directly through Disney, the credit will be prorated based on membership length. The following are the exact credit amounts, per point, as it varies from home resort: Aulani - $1.67​, Animal Kingdom Villas - $0.91​, Bay Lake Tower - $0.81​, Beach Club - $0.81​, BoardWalk -​ $0.70​, Boulder Ridge - $0.82​, Copper Creek - $0.87​, Grand Californian - $1.54​, Grand Floridian - $0.81,​ Hilton Head Island - $0.75​, Old Key West - $0.82,​ Polynesian - $0.68​, Riviera - $1.70​, Saratoga Springs - $0.86​, and Vero Beach - $0.25​.

Updated Resort Refurbishment Schedule





Also, during the meeting, an updated resort refurbishment schedule was released. In 2021, the Polynesian, Grand Floridian, & Aulani will all receive a minor refurbishment. In 2022, expect to see both Boulder Ridge & Hilton Head receive full refurbishments, as well as a minor one over at the Beach Club.

2022 Point Charts Released





Before the association meeting, DVC released their 2022 point charts for all resorts. Keeping up with the 2021 point charts theme, we saw increases in the fall months at Walt Disney World properties as the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival & Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have been very popular for DVC Members during the last couple of years. On the contrary, summer months decreased and will require fewer vacation points per night than in years past to encourage travel throughout the year. To view the full point charts for each resort, visit https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/vacation-planning/points-charts/ as well as the My DVC Points Resort Wiki, which has now been updated with the new point charts.





runDisney Star Wars Rival Run Weekend Virtual Transition





The 2021 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend has been transitioned to a virtual race. Registered runners will have the option of either keeping their registration and running the race virtual or receiving a full refund, similar to the Walt Disney World Marathon & Princess Half Marathon transitions. Those who decide to keep their registration will receive a partial refund as the price has been reduced. Those who did not sign-up initially will have the opportunity to register for the races and challenges on December 15th at 10 AM EST. runDisney has also announced that this will be the last year of the Rival Run, and the race weekend will be "reimagined” for 2022. More details on the re-theming and future runDisney race weekends will be announced at a later date.
