Grand Californian Villas

[oceanscape]

We aren't DVC members - can we still book reservations at the villas? How? I looked on the Disneyland website but they didn't seem to be an option. We are looking for August 2011.

Thanks!

They can be booked on cash, if there is availability, but if they handle VGC like they do all the DVC at WDW, the rates and availability won't be released until January 2011. I don't wish to dash your dreams, but there are so few villas there in California, I would not hold out a lot of hope in getting one on cash. You can always book something else, try for the villas, and if it works out, then you could cancel your original reservations.

I am an owner, and I had a waitlist for one in January and again in May, and neither ever came thru. I am also on a waitlist for a one-bedroom for one night this coming October, and when I called about it, I was told there is only a Grand Villa available. They will do a waitlist for owners booking on their points, but there is no waitlist for those booking on cash.

They are lovely, and I can't blame you for want to stay there.

The way to do it is to rent points. If you can even rent directly from DLR, the price would be extremely high. BlackJackDelta rented points for his trip this August. Also see http://www.dvcrequest.com/

As Hydroguy stated I am renting points for this August at $10.00/point. I had to book at 7 months out thru the gentlemen who rented the points to me. When I did check the cash rate it was about $1010/night for a 1 bedroom. I was told that they will only do cash 60 days out if there was availability at that time. We will see how things go in August.
