What the math assumes
- Resale price $240/pt plus $1,300 resale closing
- Annual dues escalate 5%/yr (long-term DVC average)
- Studio at ~150 pts/yr → 10 nights/year (15 pts/night average)
- Cash-hotel benchmark: $650/night studio rack rate
- No financing — Disney financing at 11–12.5% APR roughly doubles total cost
