The VGF 2 pricing thread

[hcortesis]

It's Home > My DVC > Add On Tool. It's not in the Cost of Membership yet. Disney IT will add that later, I'm sure, after they fix the other website issues.

Add on Tool cannot be viewed from Canada. At least Ontario.

Woke up this morning to the news. I admit that I was wrong about the base price but I'm very surprised that the incentives are much better for RIV. I really didn't expect that. I thought that VGF2's base would be higher with better incentives to bring it close to RIV.

Welcome to the VGF Family to all you new owners at the resort. I hope that you love it as much as we do!

3/14 for owners at GF and 5/13 for all members

I guess this means that we should have an opening date soon? Shall we start speculating on when it will be?

I can envision long waits for MS on 3/14 when everyone tries to book a fall stay in one of the 100 studios that have been declared.

.....and now we know. Congrats to all you eager GFV buyers, this is a great price with good incentives. Your wish has come true! I will miss this thread with the building excitement and anticipation.

add on tooll showing $207. Now lets wait for incentive numbers.

HOLY WOW! All of you Grand Floridian buyers must have been very very good this year.! Merry $207!

goes to show the dvc show folks should take an Economics Class, their $260 and above predictions. they were not even close to reality

Or perhaps they are motivated to push people to buy resale instead of direct because it personally benefits them?

WOW. Resale already adjusting. It's 6AM!!!

I’m just over here waiting with anticipation to see how resale prices may drop. I’d love to see a VGF drop force a little dip in other MK area resorts. We would love some CC points but if it stays above VGF we may use VGF as sleep around points for other MK area resorts.

Woo hoo, what great news to wake up to! $179 a point for 300 points. I was going to wait until my guide emailed me but caved and checked this thread. I think as long as there are no surprises we’re going to go ahead with two 150 point contracts. We still get the 300 point price doing that, right? I’m so happy we didn’t buy resale in the past year, it briefly crossed our minds but prices seemed high to me knowing this was coming. Even if it had been less, not lower enough to justify IMO.

highly possible but look what they did to their brand. Did they try to create fomo and a rush on contracts to benefit them or are they just really that bad at this?

I believe so, will just have to pay two closing costs (maybe skip title search fees?)

I’m thinking of doing the same thing actually. Was originally just considering 150 points to get the blue card (we own 100 resale points at CC) but $179/point for 300 is very tempting.

Now if can get 2021 points with my April use year, I will be ecstatic!

Congrats everyone who bid $207!! What is the special incentive listed for Bay Lake and Polynesian?

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Heh @pkrieger2287, there’s a DVC show for you. How does resale market react to these pricings.?
DVCRM have a 200pt listing at $201 but direct is $186, I appreciate its member only so far but it will be $190 for new members on 31st March. Unsustainable for VGF listings But also what impact on other resorts?

I think small resale contracts may only have to adjust slightly. If you are not a member, this will still be the only way to get in under 150 points.

If anyone gets confirmation of any restrictions please post! At this price I want to buy VGF but will not buy if I can only use the points there…. Isn’t that how RIV works? You can only stay at RIV with them, right?

The Resale Restrictions at Riviera only apply to resale contracts. If you buy Riviera from Disney, you can stay anywhere. VGF shouldn't have those restrictions since it's the same condo association, but we'll have to wait and see if that's the case or not.

 

[RebelScum]

Yes - Confirmation that there are no resale restrictions is key. I am probably in the minority that actually likes Riviera better than GF. So with the price nearly at par, I will let the restrictions decide. Basically, if there are restrictions on VGF2, then I will be adding on at RIV.

Count me in this group as well.

Another great Disney decision I made. Deed recorded last week for 100 VGF @ $185.

I assume with the $207 (less incentives price), I overspent by $2500 once the resale prices are changed.

I never thought for the "flagship" Disney resort direct price would: 1.drop 2. drop by $50

To feel the love even more, I assume with all the increased direct sales DVC will receive beginning today for the next couple of weeks, getting these additional resale points added to my membership will be at the bottom of their list to do.

I think we need to watch Grand Floridian closely over the next year... This is a huge sales tactic and will bring historic numbers to DVC Direct Sales, but they will not undercut the value of their product like this for long. Current incentives expire March 30th... let's see what the price is after that date. I think we will see a gradual increase. This is the honeymoon stage.

Did you watch that show? Pretty sure I said $225 and had some sound logic behind that thought process... Thanks for watching though!!
