Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

Maintenance fees are $5.41 pp.

I have not heard anything about a new pool, but the nice pool with the slide and waterfall (beach pool) is real close to the DVC building. The courtyard pool is huge and should be able to handle the additional visitors.

My guide told me no new pool. When I was there the courtyard pool was closed. I can't believe I have to wait 670 days before I can get in it.....how will I make it til then??

Pre-ordered on 5/21. Got the FedEx box Friday. My guide also called me on Friday to say they were coming.

The weird thing is the closing date is listed for 7/5! Does it really take that long?

So weird, we pre-ordered on 5/20, deposit taken out first thing on the 23rd, guide said to expect it shortly following (within around a week). We ended up calling DVC Quality Assurance as well, just to make sure all was well. It seems that it might depend on who the guide is/how quickly they get it out, I guess? The rep sounded surprised that we hadn't gotten it yet so I'm assuming that it would depend on the guide and how many contracts they have to send!

And that closing date it pretty far out! Maybe they're just giving an extra long est to not make you worry? Either way, we'll all be owners

We bought on 5/25 and the paperwork just arrived today. There was a mistake, so they have to reprint the contracts and send them to me again. They don't seem to be in a terrible hurry to get everyone's paperwork. The guy at quality assurance said they've been overloaded with processing contracts for the past 10 days.

I received my docs last week. Sent them back in on Friday. I won't be getting and using my points until next year.

One thing I just don't understand...Why don't they do double sinks? My guide is supposed to call me today...I CANNOT wait!!!

Got my docs today, but have a question. I did 3 -50 pt add ons, and they want a voided check for the dues payment, do I have to submit 3? Or just 1?

So, I purchased a fixed-week and submitted my documents several days ago. Now, I am wondering if I should add-on a few extra VGF points, just to have for short stays.

ETA: can anyone pm me a link for a signature pic of Grand Floridian, thanks in advance.

It seems some have a nice VGF signature picture, but for those interested, here are the old one's from a few years ago when VGF (and BLT) was a dream...

Not sure who made them nor if they are any good these days.

Congrats to all the new owners!

Greysword,

I love that VGF signature picture. Now I don't know which one I want to use.

 

[Candy Orlando]

I'm going to keep the original VGF signature I picked. I like the classic GF logo that's on it.

 

[shortypots]

I like that sig too... Now I cannot wait to actually take my trip to the GFV!!! What sucks is I still have almost 6 months to wait!

 

[Candy Orlando]

I have to wait six months too! We will be staying in a one bedroom for a week in Dec. and a week in Jan.

How did you get your GFV signatures? I want one

If it makes you feel better we have to wait until March-but we can't wait!!!

You steal it


Right click on the picture, save it to your desktop (or where ever). Then add it to your photobucket/flikr account, and link your signature to it. Easy as pie.

Thanks, Trying out my handy work

Awesome it worked!!!

You can also right click, copy image location and then paste that into your sig. That way you do not have to put it on shutterfly or photobucket or anything else. As long as the other person has it, you are safe.

This is known as "stealing bandwidth" and if the owner of the image ever deleted it or moved it's filepath, you would no longer have access to it. You should always save your own images and upload them to your own account. Also, if everyone copied it from that one owner, the image would eventually not work for anyone because it would take up all the bandwidth.

Just sayin'.
