Per point
Brokers price a reservation from the points it takes on Disney’s chart. The median live listing costs $30.57 a point, and half cost between $27.00 and $36.00. What each broker charges is in the broker comparison.
What moves the price
- The point chart. Disney sets how many points each villa takes per night. It rises in busier seasons, and Friday and Saturday nights take more points than weeknights.
- Room size and view. A bigger villa or a better view takes more points for the same nights.
- The broker. Each broker sets its own price per point.
- Time on the market. Brokers sometimes cut the price of a reservation that hasn’t rented. The board marks each drop of at least $25 and 2%.
Where these numbers come from
437 live confirmed reservations from 1 broker, each checked every 30 minutes. A listing counts while it’s on the broker’s site. Disney’s price is its published cash rate for the same villa and nights, tax included, from MouseSavers’ rate tables; 435 of the 436 listings with one cost less than Disney charges. The definitions are in How we calculate, and how renting works explains what you’re buying.
