First DVC is a timeshare and if not running at 100% capacity (minus rooms held for breakage) someone is losing money and it is not Disney.......
Disney is a corporation and will raise prices until people stop paying them period. No matter what one speculates because of a bad economy, a pandemic, people will not pay that anything one can think of.. prices will go up until attendance starts to go way down. Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida has been and still is a cash cow for the Disney corporation.
To back to DVC as above if not 100% occupied someone is losing money... Disney can close a cash a resort as the did during the height of Coronavirus and keep the DVC reports open and still make a profit. (yes the DVC resorts closed as well for a short time) he amount of DVC is no accident there was a huge demand there still is and by the number of DVC rooms and guests that have to stay they will make money no matter the park hours amount of rides open the food prices etc. If a DVC member trades points to for any reason or loses points those points are turned over to CRO to use at any time as was the reason so many people were "upgraded" to DVC resorts in the past months because X resort was closed.
No matter what Disney says the reasoning for pricing, "we want less guests and will charge more per capita for a better experience" is the latest, one is left with a decision to spend their vacation money at Disney or spend it somewhere else or better for Disney go half as much forgoing vacations in between and pay twice as much.
We have owned DVC for 18 years go at least once a year... Before DVC we paid for hotels back to the early 90's and as kids my wife was going in the early 70's when the Poly and Cont. where the only hotels, of course I think prices are getting a bit out of control.
