I bet they have gone up more than 300%. We live here, and I'm telling you, that person's post was pretty darn close to accurate, esp if you add on those fast pass money gougers. He might be a little high, but not much.
That one is the most egregious example of not comparing like things.
I didn't look at the post as someone trying to illustrate "apples for apples" - the OP has illustrated how much more their experience cost them in 2022. Which is substantial. I'd hazard a guess that their disposable income hasn't increased at the same rate, so regardless of the reason (DVC points weren't as hot a commodity on line, etc), it's hard to have the same experience that we had 10 years ago, for the same relative cost + inflation. I look back ten years at what I paid for free dining trip to a moderate, and remember the excited frenzy in booking rooms when the sale finally dropped, then counting the days until I could book the Fastpasses, and make ADRs for table service, which was included in free dining moderate resort package. And then just sitting back and enjoying the benefits of careful planning.
Not. A DVC rental does not compare to a room rented directly from Disney in terms of price
Actually, $3,000 for 2 weeks at BCV is still too low. She went in early February for 2 weeks. BCV is 106 points per week in early February now. Two weeks at $20 per point would be $4240. And that's only if you could find someone with BCV points to rent you. You really need to leverage the 11-month home priority window to book a studio at BVC.
It was also 120 points per week in 2012 during that time period.
So I looked at my agreement. It was $8 per point. It was a great deal. Most of the time we rented for $10 to $12 a point. But I could definitely find $10 of I looked hard enough through about 2014. Then we switched to direct. She was just not using it that year and didn’t care about making money on it. Now it’s hard to find something under $16. $17 is the going rate.
It is a good comparison- the flight versus the Disney prices. Not nearly the same increase.
This thread is being dramatic. Dolphin is in the 170s for Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's the location of Beach Club, just without Stormalong Bay. And decent bed, toiletries, and toilet paper, which DVC has never had while I've stayed there. DVC math doesn't even work against 3-400$ Swolphin. BC math probably doesn't work until even higher than that.
However, even then the biggest contributor to that was the nearly $2,000 that was spent on lightning lane access through Genie+ and ILL's.
They most certainly are NOT
Yes, Tickets are the one area where you can compare apples to apples, or as close to them as one can get. Today's ticket type to yesterday's ticket type at least. Ticket prices have gone up by bonkers prices.
