See all 153 match-ups →Grand Californian DVC Resale
Grand Californian resale contracts trade around $240/pt — the highest resale price of any DVC resort. The premium reflects its unique location: hotel rooms open directly onto Disney California Adventure, and the resort is steps from both Disneyland and Downtown Disney. Contracts run through 2060.
On the resale market, Grand Californian inventory is noticeably thin compared to Orlando resorts. Sellers know demand is strong, so contracts — especially under 100 points — often draw multiple offers within days. The $9.52/pt annual dues are moderate and below average compared to many WDW resorts.
Buying Grand Californian resale means full home-resort priority at the 11-month booking window for the most coveted Disneyland villas. The on-property advantage is arguably stronger here than at any WDW resort — there is simply no other way to stay in these villas.
