GCV webcast email

[Brancaneve]

Did anyone get the invitation to the Grand Opening Webcast for later this month? Is this there way of selling the last few memberships and will there be good deals???

A CM in DL said that they will be renovating the GCV models to make them look like the Hawaiian models in the fall/spring(can't remember). Perhaps this is their way of liquidating the last few so they can get started on their next project............

Nope. But apparently I'm not on the mailing list. If my SIL didn't call me I wouldn't have known that the resort was for sale. I would like to hear more though. What is it?

I received it last Friday. They're having a few webcasts 9/23 - 9/26 to showcase the VGC. I think DVCNews website has a link if you'd like to sign up or send me a PM and I'll forward my email.

Thank you so much for directing me to a link for this. I did not receive an invite but just signed up and am very excited to watch the webcast. Seeing as we are already in a state of point borrowing, my dh may be open to adding on if the incentives are good.

Your welcome! I seem to be in a constant state of borrowing no matter how many points we have.

Just signed up to attend the opening day webcast. Excited I can get my VGC fix even though I can't be there opening day!

Me too! I wonder how much of sale promo it will be. I just hope to be able to see some of it. Esp if there is a viewing area of the WOC.

We just returned from the Member Cruise where we added points for GCV. The CM that helped us with the add-on said he would be hosting the webcast. We were told that the incentives offered on the cruise were better than what will be offered during the webcast. From what I remember, the overall incentives would go up to approximately $14 - $16/point off the current rate of $112/point. This is similar to the incentives offered around March 2009 when we purchased our first add-on at the GCV.

By comparison, the incentives offered during the cruise (only for GCV) were:

50 -75 points: $15.00/point off $112, or $97/point

100 - 120 points: $23.00 off, or $89/point

125 points: $25.00 off, or $87/point

200 or more: $27.00 off, or $85/point.

Since we purchased 130 points, we also received a framed color lithograph of the "lost soup scene" from Snow White that DVC commissioned Disney Animator, Ducky Williams to paint just for the Member Cruise. The member adding on the most points during the cruise took home the original. We also received a DVC pin and an invitation to a cocktail party in the Roy O. Disney suite, which was alot of fun...seeing that we could never afford to stay in the suite on points or cash.

I know this has been posted before, but during the DVC presentation, it was announced that the price per point for BLT is going up to $120/point on 10/4/09.

Even though we've already purchased all the GCV points we can currently afford, we'll be watching the webcast hoping to get a glimpse of our soon to be "favorite home away from home"...sorry BCV, we still love you too.

I also received an invite and signed up for opening day..the 23rd. I really can't afford anymore points right now either, but looking forward to the webcast. (and why did the BLT folks get a goodie box for their webcast and VGC folks didn't )

 

[Meriweather]

We're watching the 23rd as well .....from our room at SSR
Can't wait to see everything they have to show us.

Just FYI, I received a fedex pkg with a few little goodies in conjunction w/ the webcast. I got a cardboard/ glossy paper type pin with a pic of GCV and Mickey, Donald & Goofy w/ the opening date printed on the bottom. Very Cute. I also received a thin mousepad with the Artist rendering of GCV on it. There was a DVC notepad and then other promotional items like point charts, small GCV brochure, member getaways maps from 2009, and a "Grand" Opening welcome letter.

Do you think there will be incentives for AKV offered with the webcast?

I love free stuff! Can't wait to check my mailbox!!

 

[Meriweather]

Ohhh...I love free stuff too. At WDW right now, so hopefully there will be a surprise waiting for us when we get home.

Same here! It'll be my first DVC webcast I'm attending so I'm hoping for something good. Can't afford to buy any more points, but like many others I wanna' see the "home" I already own!!!

I stand corrected. Folder with VGC stuff arrived today

 

[kerickson]

Received my packet of goodies today! Love the little pin and mousepad.
Now I finally have a printed point chart!

Does every VGC owner get the goodies?? Was already planning on watching the webcast... although I can't find a web addy for it for some reason.

ETA: Nevermind, mommy brain stupidity... found the addy buried in all my emails. Question remains, are they sending goodies to everyone or only those of us who signed up for the webcast?

The included letter specifically said 'Thanks for signing up to attend...' so I assume it's just to those who registered for one of the sessions...

We just signed up. Hope goodies come after the event.
