What are the hidden DVC costs?
There are really no ‘hidden’ DVC costs. When buying directly through Disney your contract will include everything needed based on the stated cost per point. For example: if you purchase 150 points at SSR for $95 per point, your entire contract will be $14,250 plus any pro rated maintenance fees for that first year. Disney now charges new members a closing fee of approximately $200. Purchasing resale can be different for each contract. The seller could either cover or pass on closing costs to the buyer. It all depends on the contract and its conditions for sale. You’ll want to consider all costs when computing resale purchases to truly understand your final price per point. Closing costs can really increase the cost per point of small resale contracts.
