Disney Vacation Club has credited a portion of the 2026 annual dues for owners at Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas due to an apparent miscalculation.
Aulani owners should find that a credit has been posted to their 2026 annual dues account in the amount of $.0435 per point. The amount is listed as an "adjustment" with no details regarding the nature of the miscalculation. Messaging provided by DVC reads, in part:
Disney Vacation Club has identified a budget correction that resulted in a credit to your 2026 Annual Dues for the Aulani Ali'i Nui Hotel Condominium Association, Inc.
An adjustment in an amount equal to $0.0435 per point was posted to your account on February 25, 2026. No action is required on your part. If you have already fully paid your 2026 Aulani Annual Dues, the credit will be applied automatically to your 2720 Annual Dues.
At that rate, an owner of 250 vacation points would receive a credit worth about $10.88.
The adjustment applies only to points with Aulani as the Home resort. Both subsidized and non-subsidized contracts qualify for the credit.
Back in 2011, Disney Vacation Club was forced to subsidize dues for early buyers at the resort due to apparent accounting errors which lead to excessively low projections of the iniital dues. The scandal lead to the ouster of former DVC VP Jim Lewis and other key executives.
Prior to the adjustment, 2026 dues were set at $8.2369 per point for subsidized owners and $10.9572 for non-subsidized. The original unadjusted dues statement is still posted to the DVC website.
Thanks to Dan for the tip!
