Each resort's name links to its full point chart. Rooms differ, a Tower Studio and a beach cottage are not the same night, which is exactly why the room is named on every row.

How to read this ranking

Every row answers one question, what is the fewest points a real week at this resort can cost in 2027. A real week means seven consecutive nights, including the pricier Friday and Saturday nights, priced from the resort's own chart through the same math our points calculator uses. We take each resort's cheapest bookable room, which is usually a studio, and let the window slide across the whole year, so a resort cannot hide behind one artificially quiet date.

Two honest caveats. The beach and island resorts, Hilton Head, Vero Beach, and Aulani, price low because their demand curves have nothing to do with the parks, so if your trip is a Disney World trip, read the Walt Disney World rows and start with the Animal Kingdom Jambo House chart. And cheapest points is not cheapest money, contracts at different resorts sell for very different prices per point, which is a question for our is DVC worth it calculator.

Common questions

What is the cheapest DVC resort at Disney World

By real weeks on the 2027 chart, Animal Kingdom Jambo House. Its cheapest seven night stay, a deluxe studio, runs 62 points for the week starting September 1, and its quietest weeknights start at 8 points. The full ranking above prices the same test at every resort.

What is the cheapest DVC resort overall

Hilton Head, where the cheapest week of 2027 is 54 points. The beach and island resorts often undercut the theme park ones, which is why the table marks each resort's location, a cheap week at the beach is not the same trip as a cheap week beside a park.

When are DVC points cheapest at Disney World

The lowest travel period at most Walt Disney World resorts covers September, with January and early May close behind. Those are the weeks the cheapest-week column keeps landing in. Holiday weeks, spring break, and late December sit at the top of every chart.

Is the cheapest resort the best value

Cheapest means fewest points for a week, nothing more. A resort can be cheap on points and still be the wrong call for your family, the commute to the parks, the dining, and the room itself all matter, and contracts at different resorts cost different money per point. For the buying math, run our is DVC worth it calculator, and to price your own dates anywhere, use the points calculator.
