Animal Kingdom Villas points chart
Approximate points per night at Animal Kingdom Villas across the five DVC seasons. Use this to estimate how many DVC points you need for your typical trip. Disney republishes the official chart annually — these numbers are an honest planning anchor, not a quote.

|---|---|---|---|
Adventure (early Jan) Cheapest weeks of the year. | 11 pts/night | 20 pts/night | 29 pts/night |
Choice (Feb–Apr, post-Easter–mid-Jun) Off-peak but warm. | 13 pts/night | 24 pts/night | 36 pts/night |
Dream (most of summer, fall shoulder) Standard weeks. | 15 pts/night | 28 pts/night | 42 pts/night |
Magic (peak summer + early holidays) Busy + warmer rates. | 17 pts/night | 32 pts/night | 48 pts/night |
Premier (Christmas–New Year) Peak holiday demand. | 20 pts/night | 38 pts/night | 57 pts/night |
How many points should you buy?
Multiply nightly cost by nights × frequency. A 5-night studio in Dream season at Animal Kingdom = 75 pts/trip. A yearly 7-night 1-bedroom run in Magic season = 225 pts/year.
