DVC Disneyland Wish Club

[ACDSNY]

With all the excitement over AKV I thought I'd start the DL DVC Wish Club. Anyone else want to join?
I'll be first in line if they announce Grand CA Villas.:love:

[PattiPB]

Since I won't be a founding member of AKV, I'd LOVE to be a founding member of the DL DVC Wish Club with you! :love: Can't wait!

Wow, I didn't expect any response until after the Super Bowl. My son told me I was the only one in America that wasn't watching it.:lmao: See I told him I wasn't alone.

Sorry, you'll be second in line behind me! ;)

[mello]

We're excited at the prospect! Though I do hope they'll wait til after our big family reunion trip to WDW next year - our points will be all used up for a couple years, and it'll give us time to save up the $. More points, especially at the GC, sound great to me!

[squidmo]

ME, ME, ME! I want to be in line too!

[disneymom8589]

I'm joining your club! :woohoo:

[Maistre Gracey]

I'm on the fence about buying GCV, but I would sure love the opportunity at the 7 month mark! :woohoo:

[ACDSNY]

So far it looks like we're mostly West Coasters...maybe the line won't be so long after all.

[Mtnman44]

Count us in too. :thumbsup2

[bigsmooth]

Definitely hoping for a west coast DVC, but probably won't buy any points, but tempted. In retrospect I would have purchased a smaller contract at SSR and then definitely added on for the GC DVC.

I do hope that it is available at the 7 mo mark. I'd be OK with 7 mo trading for a long weekend each year down to DL, and save our 7 day trips for WDW.

Oh, Grand CA Villas would be wonderful! Sign me up, even though I'm in the Chicago area!

[3DisneyNUTS]

Still in discussion mode with DH about AKV but DVC-GC will be a definite. So count me in!

[disneydawn6]

I'm from CA so count me in on an add on:cheer2:

[Fellowship9798]

I'll join. We've still got to figure out how to pay for it though!

[dwelty]

we were tempted to add on at AKV, but we are saving up for the GCV announcement. My guide knows to call when that day arrives!

[wdw4life]

I'm trying to figure out how I would pay for it too. :scratchin I'll sell one of my contracts at least.

Ok, President ACDSNY, now that we have a formal club, we need a GC DVC Wish picture for our signature lines!!!

Who knows the screen name of the person who created the others?

[TenThousandVolts]

I beleive it is the lovely and talented vascubaguy who made all the siggy banners.

but I would sure love the opportunity at the 7 month mark!
Me too- but I have a feeling this would might be the toughest 7 month window resort yet. (Of course I know nothing about it - such as size, point structure... as it is just a nice fantasy at this point- but I think the competition would be fierce)

[TravelingJen24]

The only reason we didn't buy at AKV is that we are waiting for DL to get on board. We only live a few hours away and are so ready to have a 1-bedroom at DL instead of a standard room and I hate paying for suites. COUNT US IN!!!!

[mamatojon]

sign me up! :)

[loribell]

I'm all for it as well but I have another wish to add in to the mix. If they do it I really hope they will come out with some sort of special DVC AP that includes WDW & DL. My biggest problem with getting to DL, which I absolutely LOVE, is that we buy AP's and get them to cover two summers so I just can't get myself to break away from Florida.

[all4fun]

Count us in for the DVC Disneyland Wish Club. :woohoo:

... Now all I have to do is get DW on board. :cheer2:

Can't wait!

[Maistre Gracey]

Just to clarify...
I would love to join a "DVC at the Grand Californian" wish club, but if the DVC is not associated with the GC, I really have no interest. :smokin:

You'll need someone with more computer skills in photo shop than me to do our picture. Any volunteers?

I started a thread asking for help, but so far, I don't think we have any volunteers:sad1:

[disney-super-mom]

Hmmmmm, no takers on our Grand Californian Villas Wish Club signature logos request yet. I may have to do a little begging and pleading around here.:goodvibes

[mikayla73]

I would love for this to happen! We are staying at the DLH in May/June on points, but have been toying with the idea of switching to the GC. BUT if they are going to add a DVC there, I am thinking we should just stay at the DLH because we will get to stay at the GC then .... hmmmm decisions decisions :goodvibes

[minnieandmickey]

Count us in, in fact we will probably sell our 75pt SSR contract to do it.

[disneymom8589]

Sounds delightful!! :cloud9:

When I was at DL this weekend I stopped in at the GC to relax for a bit and take a few pictures of where the expansion would be. I feel like Veruca Salt. I want it NOW! :rotfl:

Boy, I sure wish I was a fly on the wall in California so I could hear what the talk is about a DVC there!

A nice DisBoard member, Paging Tom Morrow, made a mockup of a "Wishing for Disney's Grand Californian Villas" signature logo. Everyone take a look and give feedback.:thumbsup2

Added mine!

[Longhairbear]

I am hoping for a GC villa also. Actually any DVC at DLR. I heard last year that the DVC decor for DLR was similar to BWV. That doesn't fit into the GC decor, so maybe there will also be a stand alone DVC nearby?

Where did you hear about the decor? :listen:

My "source" told me that DVC will also eventually build a stand alone behind the Bonita Tower at the DLH. Time will tell I suppose. :hourglass

Well, that would make sense! That is where the DVC Sales Offices, preview center and a small parking lot are now if I remember correctly. Lots of room for an entire tower! :woohoo:

I think I would have to add on both! Grand Californian, and DLR!

I heard the decor rumor a year ago from someone well connected. But things change in a year's time.It was also mentioned as a stand alone building. At the time I heard the rumor I couldn't understand how the decor would fit into any of the themeing of the resort. As for a stand alone next to the Bonita Tower, I love that as a location. Didn't they stop the Fantasy Waters show over there because of a possible reuse of that area?

How about some help FROM someone who is not a computer genius. If I could do it, anyone can.

1.) Right click on the particular image you want to insert in your signature and click on copy.

2.) Click on Quick Links at top of forum page

3.) Click on Edit Signature

4.) Place curser at end of any text already in your signature and hit Enter/Return button

5.) Click on paste for insert picture in edit signature section

6.) Click on preview signature and it should be there.

You could always get AP's for Disneyland and WDW. We do.

It's going into the current valet parking lot as well as the grass area. Go to this link for some photos of trees being marked and/or moved already. It's gonna happen! http://www.westcoaster.net/updates.php?updateCD=020707&page=9

Maybe they'll build a Boardwalk resort in place of Paradise Pier Hotel? It fits with the supposed placemaking of the Paradise Pier area of DCA.

Ohhhhh, I maybe sick with some kind of Disneyland DVC fever, but I have to admit, those pictures give me another symptom......some kind of twinge......and I LIKE IT!:woohoo:

[squidmo]

Well, there's a new rumor (at least to me) at O-meon this week (I'd post the link, but I can't because I don't have enough posts yet- just add a www before O-meon and a .com to the end and you will find it). They say Disney is building a "boutique" hotel that sounds like it might fit in with Longhairbear's rumor. And it seems to me if they are building anything new it had BETTER have a DVC as part of it!

[wdw4life]

You could always get AP's for Disneyland and WDW.


I'm really hoping that once DL gets the Villas that there is a significant AP discount. The premium pass is already $360.00 and $20.00 off is really pretty much worthless to me.

Great article! If indeed there's a new hotel to be built, I would HOPE it will include DVC accomodations! It BETTER or I may have to go kick some Disney butt.:rotfl:

I just read on another site debunking that rumor. It is said to have been once considered, but no longer valid.

They are saying the Del Coronado rumor is now invalid over on Mouseinfo

[loribell]

You could always get AP's for Disneyland and WDW. We do.

Yes, if I lived closer to DL like you then I would buy both. Unfortunately it is almost the exact same distance to both DL & WDW, there is about 10 miles difference for us. It just is not worth it to us to buy AP's to both parks. And since WDW has so much more to do that is where we end up going. If we had a pass that included both then we would do both. I just can't see myself buying AP's to both parks because of the break even point. Like I said, that point would be much different if we lived close enough that we could take short trips several times a year but with either park area being about a 20 hour drive for us it just isn't going to happen!

Surely I'm not the only person that would like AP's that included the DL & WDW parks?:confused:

Hey,no one wants a DLR DVC more than I, including you...so there..'cause I said so.:-)
I was really disapointed also, but that poster and a few others have a first rate record for these kinds of things. Did you see they are also talking about a huge upgrade to the DLH? Maybe the DVC is going there also?

Well, the DLH does need a little "sparkle" added to those buildings, if ya know what I mean. They're not the most attractive buildings.;) If they incorporated a DVC there, that would be AWESOME!

I'm really not that disappointed. Actually what I think they need at Disneyland is, of course a DVC resort or DVC addition of some kind, and an onsite moderate hotel (considering ALL the onsite Disney hotels are priced-per-night as a deluxe resort). They need something in the $125-$145 price range to get more people on site and spending more of their money there too!

Now, if they want to build a new deluxe resort, I'm all for that!:yay: But then I would hope that they would make the Paradise Pier a moderate.

Even though the hotels run near capacity,they are still losing out on the lower price crowd, that would save on a room, and spend more time at the resort. We love Paradise Pier over DLH, but used points that were in a holding account. Otherwise we stay at Hojos, when we want to stay overnight.A DVC would certainly keep us there overnight more often.

Yes I agree it would be great, but I don't see the difference in buying one in each park or having one pass that allows you to go to both. The price would probably end up being the same or close anyway. Unless they gave a really sweet discount for DVCers!!:goodvibes

[paulasillars]

We'd be thrilled to have DVC in DL - we own at SSR but we love to a DVC hotel or at least some villas in DL - its our closest Disney theme park after all. We might even consider an add-on to our existing points.

High on our list would also be Hawaii if they were to build/develop - we'd be really keen to go there.

Same here. When AKV was first announced I planned on adding on there. I even called my guide to get on his list. But then the GCV rumors heated up and I can't afford both with the number of points I want at GCV. I figure I can get into AKV at the seven month mark and if I don't that's fine. I'd much rather have the GCV. :yay:

[PattiPB]

I posted this on the DL boards, but maybe it will be good for your family/friends.

The incentive at DL has not changed since the end of the 1/20 F&F Discount. AP holders at DL are still eligible to get the $86 per point price as new members. Touring at DL still gets you the $50 gift card, and buying at DL still includes the incentive of 2 APs at either DL or WDW.

We toured this past weekend with DSis, and I was surprised the $15 AP discount was still available. My guide said she hasn't heard an end date, and is positive it will go at least through February. Any DL AP holders you know who are leaning off the fence? Now is definitely the time!

If anybody wants my guides name and number (or wants a referring member ;) ) PM me.

[tufenuff]

I would be one of the first in line. We thought about AKV but thought we would wait and see if there is a DVC in CA. We would buy there.:yay:

It seems to be pretty much a given that there will be a GCV. Everybody I talk to says it is going to happen and I haven't read anything that says it is an unfounded rumor. Every now and then somebody will say that in California you can't pre-sell a timeshare but I can't find a law that substantiates that. I'm just waiting for the announcement. :hourglass

DVC at Grand Californian would be awesome -- would definitely consider adding on points from there if/when rumor becomes reality.

Another website has a thread started in the last few days about a TV news report about DLR. The report said that DLR is getting a new hotel, and expansion to an existing hotel, and a possible third gate minipark. Water park was also thrown in. No mention of a DVC.

[boymom2]

Add me/us to the list... When you live in Minnesota - Florida? California? What's the difference? :cheer2:

[squidmo]

Over at MouseInfo.com today, Marcie (reputed to be an insider with Disney) posted that DVC would come to DLR before the Contemporary, and would be announced "sooner than later". Oh, I soooooo hope she is right!:tigger:

well with the new ships coming in 2011 and 2012. most likely one of them is going to be at LA most of the time. im going to need a place to stay before the cruise. in 2008 im going on the panama cruise. so i will buy here. it might be hard to get in on the 7 month window. I want to be the first one to buy fron new jersey

[barlitz]

We were just at the SSR arrived home yesterday, DVC is supposedly making an announcement and I was told it is the GC, Also a vendor showed up at the DVC offices looking for the model rooms for the AKV and CR to measure for curtains. So whatever that means ;) DVC will be very busy in the next few years.

[dwelty]

Yes, When is this announcement supposed to happen?

[barlitz]

The guide who I was talking with was not our guide, My wife wanted to see a GrandVilla at SSR, as we were walking I asked him about future DVC properties and any additional plans for SSR. He told me they had a meeting today and he thinks it was to announce the Californian, when they announce to the DVC members I don't know. He also stated that a vendor had come looking for the model apartments for AKL and the Contemporary to measure for curtains and drapery. I think the guides are the last people to learn of anything, because he said they were all surprised with that comment. I think DVC has become extremely popular and the demand is there and they see that, 2 new ships being built 1 possibly being for DVC members, they will do the Californian and they will do the Contemporary sooner than later in my opinion, especially the Californian.

The guide who I was talking with was not our guide, My wife wanted to see a GrandVilla at SSR, as we were walking I asked him about future DVC properties and any additional plans for SSR. He told me they had a meeting today and he thinks it was to announce the Californian, when they announce to the DVC members I don't know. He also stated that a vendor had come looking for the model apartments for AKL and the Contemporary to measure for curtains and drapery. I think the guides are the last people to learn of anything, because he said they were all surprised with that comment. I think DVC has become extremely popular and the demand is there and they see that, 2 new ships being built 1 possibly being for DVC members, they will do the Californian and they will do the Contemporary sooner than later in my opinion, especially the Californian.

I was told that the guides literally only find out about new DVC resorts the day before they are announced. So very interesting. :scratchin

To add to it MS is closed today for a special event.

[squidmo]

C'mon Disney- do I have to yell?

I want GCV! I want GCV! I want GCV!

[ACDSNY]

I want GCV too! :wizard:

Off to DLH next week to watch my two nieces enjoy Disney for 2 days (quickie trip)! :woohoo:

Have a great time and let us know if you hear any juicy updates! :listen:

[ACDSNY]

Will do. It was such a last minute trip that we're staying in a 1Bdrm suite at the DLH. No regular rooms were available at any of the Disney resorts on points. It's only one night so we're splurging.

[disney-super-mom]

Oooooooh, I love this new juicy information about a possible announcement of a GC DVC! YUMMY!!!:woohoo: popcorn::

[dwelty]

We were at DLR on Friday. We walked around the south lawn at GCH, which is quite a large area. We saw the trees that were marked for removal, (As was previously posted) but also saw some (New?) Stakes up, one said "SE corner of building" (Exactly where the south East corner would logically be) the other said "Building Pop-out" which would be a pop out section similar to the existing wing I am assuming.
The question here is not if they are adding on to the GCH, (this seems pretty obvious) the real question is will it contain DVC units, and if so how many?

A DVC cart person told us that Jim Lewis was at DLR. He did not know if anything would be announced soon, but he thought something was brewing, although he did not say what, and Admitted that they are all in the dark right now.

[wdw4life]

Yes, there is definitely going to be an addition at the GCH.

It seems the ideal place to "test the waters" of a DLR DVC. It is such an ideal location and is the flagship hotel.

[M&C]

We have been waiting as well, but bought at AKV anyway. I just hope GCV comes soon and we can afford to buy there when it starts selling. I guess that's the key: affording when it when it comes out. Our guide, who's at Disneyland, refuses to say he knows anything, but insists that I will be his first call when a California DVC starts selling.

Keep the news coming.

Jim Lewis at DLR - very interesting! PLEASE don't make us wait much longer for a DLR DVC!! :)

[Fellowship9798]

With the recent developments and building permits at the GCV, maybe this thread should come back to life? Anone else want to join the "Wish Club"

[squidmo]

Sure, I'll renew my membership in the Disneyland DVC wish club!

:cheer2: I want GCV! I want GCV! :cheer2:

[lisah0711]

Me too!

[ACDSNY]

Hoping for Oct 1st announcement!

[Entropy]

I'll be there sooooo fast. I'm a huge Dismneyland fan and I'll sell my SSR points in a second to buy twice as many at Disneyland.

[Ooba]

Those of you in line for GC DVC, watch out - I'm coming thru!!! Definitely add me to your wish club!

Of course, I was a little too impatient to wait for DL DVC, and added on at AKV :blush: . Of course, that doesn't mean I can't add on again!! (even if I had to sell some of my other points!). I honestly believe that having the 11 month booking advantage at DL may be the only way to get ressies for awhile - especially at busy times. Since we are on the west coast, it would definitely complete the Disney picture for us to own on both coasts!

We are leaving for DL this Friday - I'll try to check it out to for anything new.

[tinkermell]

I just heard the rumors again myself.
Add me to the
Wish List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana: :woohoo: :yay: :dance3: :cheer2: party: :jumping1: :dancer: :rockband: :hyper: ::yes:: ::yes:: ::yes::

[kjbstore]

Count me in. Since we're on the west coast (Portland, Oregon), we've been to DL too many times to count. We would be first in line to buy DVC if offered at Disneyland. That would make short trips possible for us. Wishing, hoping and praying...Kathryn

[disneykid4ever]

Add us to the wish list too! We are hoping to eventually settle in Seattle after our tours in Canada (currently), Virginia, and Colorado . . . that's if the Navy detailer will cooperate with us ;), so buying in at the Grand Californian would be HEAVEN :cloud9: !!

[disney-super-mom]

Well of course I'm still on the "Wish" list for a GC DVC!!!:yay:

I've been on it this long. No sense in jumping off the bandwagon now!:goodvibes

[TyRy]

We just bought over the weekend and all our guide kept saying was "just wait - the are some great things happening soon" - I of course just kept laughing and trying to find out if CRV or GCV would be announced first :)

[SuzanneSLO]

It has to be significant that there is a sweepstakes right now only open to DL APs with DVC points as the prize: "Now through October 31, 2007, enter for a chance to win a three-year Disney Vacation Club Getaways SamplEAR*. All active Disneyland® Resort Annual Passholders are eligible! Just visit any Disney Vacation Club Information Center at the Disneyland® Resort or enter online now!"

The rules state that any person who enters may be solicited to purchase DVC. Looks like they are buidling a list of DL AP holders who might be interested in buying DVC.

I agree that there will be a GCV announcement soon. -- Suzanne

[OregonDisneyFanatic]

Count me in also. I can't wait. I wish Disney would hurry up and announce it :love:
