Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

We had our first stay in October since buying an add on at VGF. Now we are kicking ourselves big time!

We thought with most of our points at our original home resort at SSR we would only want a couple of nights at The Grand. So we bought enough for one night a year with the aim of staying 2 nights every other year at the end of our SSR stay. Oh how wrong we were. This is no 2 night resort. This is a keeper! We just adored it. We thought it might be a little over the top for us being casual folk but loved the idea of being so close to MK. But it was just gorgeous! We had to be dragged away! From the glorious room to the staff and all the amenities at the main hotel. We are just in love with the place. Being disabled it was very accessible too. Should have bought more points! Two nights.. Two weeks more like lol....

We have just purchased our first DVC points at SSR but have just booked two nights in a bedroom lake view at GVF in May. I hope we don't like it too much or I can see us wanting to buy there

I haven't even had a chance to use my DVC points yet and I'm already talking about adding on so we can always stay at VGF!

I plan on trying out a few of the other DVC resorts in the future, but we'll see how that goes

Fixed week contract for Christmas just went up for sale on Timeshare store this morning. A new owner is coming!

I believe there's already been a week 52 that sold. This poor week 51 never even used their membership.

We sold our 200 OKW and 300 SSR points and bought 500 VGF points.

We stayed there this past Dec and Jan. It was so Grand we bought 250 more VGF points.

We can stay six weeks in a studio or three weeks in a one bedroom.

We would like to stay all of Jan and Feb when my husband retires.

We think about buying a condo but we love the Grand so much we think maybe we will buy more points and let the Grand take care of everything for us.

New to Vacation Club. And we bought VGF.

We walked through the models and I wanted to move in.

But alas, we couldn't afford to get enough points for 52 weeks of vacation a year.

Oh, well, maybe I can increase our one week to 52, when I win the lottery.

omg what a great idea to trade in SSR & OKW for the VGF! I love it! Great I agree with a condo to much pressure and stress. Plus it's better being at the heart of the magic! Good buy! I am tempted myself. Now to get DW buy in..lol

If I'm not mistaken this same person had their interest listed back in August as well. We put in an offer that was exactly the same as the one you mentioned, right down to the same points, fixed week, banked points and etc. They refused our offer and did not counter back; we walked and went elsewhere. Now I see it's back up and listed. Perhaps it is a different person but it sure looks like the same listing.

I'd guess that you're correct - at least it seems a little strange that there would be two people who bought that fixed week and never used it and listed for sale so close together.

No worries! We're right there with you. We just bought VGF in mid-August and haven't used our points yet, and we just added some more points two days ago. We now have three weeks books for next August and still have plenty of points left over. .

Getting ready to book my first ever VGF reservation next Tuesday. Haven't been this excited in years!!!
