On November 30th, Disney Vacation Club released the 2025 points charts. This year, there were no big changes to the charts, with just the usual adjustments due to the dates of holidays like Thanksgiving and Easter. The charts have remained the same for the third straight year. 

In addition, there was another increase in the transient tax at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel, from $2.78 per point in 2024 to $2.87 per point in 2025, an increase of 3%.

Disney Vacation Club's annual condominium association meeting happened on December 7th, and while there is usually not a lot of news from it, there were a few tidbits came out.

An announcement was made that the Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness resort would be “on sale soon,” with a few new images of the cabins being shared. A website, DisneyCabins.com, was provided, but the site doesn’t yet work. 

In the Q&A section, it was asked whether the new Polynesian DVC tower will be part of the same condo association and the answer was given as “our plans right now are for the new tower to be part of the existing Polynesian resort."

On December 6th, EPCOT opened the World Celebration neighborhood, including Dreamers Point to guests. The area has a lot of trees and seating, as well as embedded lighting that matches along with Spaceship Earth. 

The new Luminous show also debuted, and overall guest feedback was positive. In particular, the show does appear the same from all around World Showcase, which addresses a big complaint about the previous show.

Storyliving by Disney is the new division of Disney that is planning communities around the country inspired by Disney Imagineers, with the first community, Cotino, already announced for Rancho Mirage, California. 

Disney is pushing forward with a second community, just announced in North Carolina outside the capital of Raleigh. It will be called Asteria and is described by Disney as “inspired by the spirit of discovery, the Asteria community is being designed to encourage exploration, spark life-long learning and create new connections for future residents.” The 15,000 acre community is expected to have 4000+ residences. Sales of units are not expected to start until 2027.
