VGC cash reservation question

[Megb1]

Hi everyone! Hopefully this is the right forum. We own at VGC but wanted to do a cash reservation. I don’t want to call because our trip isn’t set in stone. It says we can’t book more than 60 days in advance which is fine.

Has anyone actually booked a cash reservation at VGC? Did you get a discount, I know it’s not a given? Is the rate similar to the hotel room rate?

If it helps, we would be possibly looking at middle of the week (2 nights), late April (not for Easter)/early May, studio or 1 bed.
TIA!

I attended the annual member meeting 2 years and the question came up about cash room rates at VGC. The board said they are not available due to the small number of rooms. My guess is 60 days is when breakage comes into play for any rooms unreserved. The odds of unreserved rooms is pretty low.

I remember that announcement which confirmed why I'd never ever seen a report of a cash booking at VGC since it opened. You'll need to look at GC if you want to stay at that location.

I'm guessing as the probably the highest in-demand resort it be hard for them to take any breakage and claim it was the best for the membership. Though makes me wonder what they do with the 2% of points they own there. Wait until 7 months and remove rooms from other resorts?

I would just book with GC. I know VGC is at the end past the pool. But there are still GC rooms mixed in. I wouldn't worry and just book, but make sure you look at the cancellation policy since you might need to change it.

Thank you for the info! Hubby said it would be impossible but I wanted to see if I could prove him wrong lol. We will just book gc if we do decide to go through with the trip to the in-laws.

That’s why I was hoping there was a tiny chance.

VGC has an unusual dues budget. It also includes hotel rooms in the DVC wing. Never heard an explanation of how it works, not sure if DVC actually owns those rooms and gets revenue there.
