As Disney releases their new Multi-Site Public Offering Statement, it has left clues as to the number of Disney Vacation Club points it would take to book a vacation at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel resort, which is set to open on September 28th, 2023 for it’s first cash reservations.
What Is A Maximum Reallocation Chart?
Part of every resort’s Public Offering Statement is a section referred to as the Maximum Reallocation Chart. This chart shows how many DVC points would be required to book at a specific resort, if all rooms were priced identically throughout the year.
Of course, any DVC owner would know that in reality Disney groups different parts of the year into separate travel periods that will adjust the number of points needed to book, either up or down, to reflect the demand during that specific travel period for that specific resort and unit type. Even though the exact points charts are not reflected in the Maximum Reallocation Chart that is contained within the Public Offering Statement, it is a great starting point to compare what to expect for the newest DVC resort, Villas at Disneyland Hotel, to other DVC resorts’ Maximum Reallocation Chart.
Comparing Villas at Disneyland Hotel To Grand Californian
In this case, we will be comparing the Maximum Reallocation Chart between Villas at Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa to get a better understanding of what to expect. Keep in mind the number of points shown below are per night, are irrespective of travel periods, and do not show the actual number of points that will be needed when traveling during different travel periods.
This chart below is simply comparing an apples-to-apples baseline from one resort to another. As you can see below, we’ve highlighted the room types that are present at both resorts.
| Room Type | Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian | Villas at Disneyland Hotel |

| Deluxe Studio – Garden Unit | n/a | 29 |
| One Bedroom Villa | 42 | 42 |

- Deluxe Studios with Standard View, One Bedroom, & Two Bedroom Villas will most likely cost nearly the same between the two resorts
