GCV Questions-Not Understanding

[blackjackdelta]

Family-two adults and two teens would like to stay at GCV
......... would like to know if someone thinks the Studio could sleep the 4 of us with some privacy or not.
What is a reasonable cost/point? What happens if vacation plans change and I have purchased the points?
I am lost!

I know this has been asked trillion times.

I would like ...........to know if someone thinks the Studio could sleep the 4 of us with some privacy or not.

a studio is basically like a hotel room - one room + a bathroom. there is one queen bed and one pullout sofabed - they are right beside each other...so no privacy with a studio IMO.

What is a reasonable cost/point?

$10-12 per point is common.

What happens if vacation plans change and I have purchased the points?

if you want a cancellation policy, you may be better off dealing with disney directly. many DVC owners do not offer refunds.

here is a link that might be useful.

We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa at VGC in September. There were 5 in our me, DH, DM, DD (14) and DD (10). Before VGC opened we were regular guests at GC so we have always liked the location, ect. We really liked our villa but we (okay -- DH, DM, and DD (14) ) decided that for our June stay they, I mean, "we" would rather stay a few days less and stay in a dedicated 2 bedroom villa. A 1 bedroom would work for you. There is a pullout couch and a murphy bed so your teens would each have their own bed. But I think a studio would not be as good because it would feel like less than a regular hotel room in that there would only be one regular bed and couch with a pullout. The space in their studios (my DS was there at the same time last September so I checked out their studio) is about the same - maybe a little bigger - than the GC rooms with 2 queens and a daybed. But if you are going to rent points I think you would feel more comfortable in a 1 bedroom.

Thanks for the advice, now to find an availabilty calculator and someone with points for rent.
