Fall 2026 DVC Incentives

DVC released its Fall 2026 direct incentives, and I put together a full resort-by-resort breakdown comparing them to Summer. The short version: this round favors first-time buyers, while most larger add-ons took a step back now that Welcome Home Weeks is over.

Key takeaways:

• Dates: Both add-on and new Member offers run through December 9, 2026. Savings are available for up to 7 days after attending a virtual or in-person Open House tour.

• Aulani is the clear winner. It has the top add-on savings at every tier ($24/pt at 100–149 points, up to $48/pt at 250–299) and the top new Member savings at 200+ points, up to $48/pt and $23,952 on 300–499 points.

• Fort Wilderness rose $2/pt at every new Member tier and is still the best per-point deal at 150–199 points ($32/pt).

• Disneyland Hotel is the only resort with lower new Member incentives than Summer, down $2–$3/pt across the board.

• Riviera is basically flat for new Members, and its add-ons at 200+ points dropped $6/pt.

• Polynesian (now listed as Island Tower) still trails everything, topping out at $19/pt.

• Existing Members: If you missed Welcome Home Weeks, most 150+ point add-ons are $3–$6/pt lower than Summer. Smaller add-ons of 100–149 points improved at most resorts, though.

There's also a Bay Lake Tower flash sale, similar to past sales at Saratoga Springs, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Old Key West. Base price is $275/pt before incentives, so even with a discount, expect it to price well above the actively selling resorts. Incentive details aren't out yet.

On Lakeshore Lodge: nothing official, but with this round running through December 9 and the holidays after that, I don't see sales starting before early 2027. January or February feels most likely. My wife and I are hoping to buy there ourselves, so I'm watching closely.
