Buying VGC

[christine*]

Has anyone had recent luck buying Grand Californian direct or getting on the wait list for it lately?

They do not do a wait list or sell it direct. VGC is a resale purchase.

Check the ROFR threads. In the past 12 months, we've had 7 reported purchases of VGC with no contracts bought back by Disney. Unless they exercise ROFR, they won't have any points to sell.

It seems like such a high demand resort that I'm surprised they don't exercise ROFR on it. Maybe the price they would have to pay would be too high (compared to what they can grab other resorts for).

We've been on the waitlist for two years for VGC. We haven't found much that meet our guidelines on resale. Thankfully we have 360 points there already, so we can be somewhat patient. In general, waitlists are moving slower...we were on BLT waitlist for about a year and a half and turned it down. There are still a fair amount on resale if we want, so not too worried about a different resort.

Thanks everyone for the replies! We did end up finding a small contract and are just waiting for it to though the RORF process.

We asked recently about the waitlist just to see if it had changed. Still closed.

I just had a guide call me yesterday saying he had 25 points March UY. I had just bought a second Resale so declined
