Pete, Vicky, and Sue discuss the newly released 2023 point charts, Walt Disney World trams returning, DVC member-exclusive fireworks viewing, and two more restaurants reopening. N063

Season 6 of the My DVC Points Podcast was brought to you by:

• DVC Resale Market – Industry Leader in DVC Resales
• DVC Rental Store – DVC Point Rental and Swap Partner
• Monera Financial – Exclusively Financing DVC Contracts
• Patreon supporters in the My DVC Points VIP Producer Club.

The 2023 point charts still show seven travel periods. For the first time in DVC history, most fall travel dates require more points than summer travel dates. The other travel periods remain fairly static.

The 2023 changes only affect Disney Vacation Club Resorts at Walt Disney World Resort. They do not impact Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas, Ko Olina, Hawaiʻi. These point charts remain unchanged.

The 2022 and 2023 Grand Floridian charts now show a new point category for “Resort Studio” rooms, with 3 views: standard, lake, and theme park. The “Resort Studio” rooms are the upcoming DVC expansion rooms in the Big Pine Key building. The Standard and Lake categories remain the same as the current Grand Floridian DVC studios, but the Theme Park view sets a new record for most expensive DVC studio.
