I hate writing trip reports

Yeah...on the fence about buying at VDH or more resale VGC.

That’s a crowded fence!

Yeah...and we just keep going back and forth on it. Right now we're leaning toward more VGC. But who knows what we'll think tomorrow or next week or next month. But being unsure at least keeps us from making any big purchases right now.

I've tried to get enough points at each home resort to stay in the villa size I want for as long as I want for 1 trip per year. VGC is tough because it's so darned expensive.

Yeah, right now we have enough VGC for some 1-bedroom trips but some would need to be studio and I really think we'd rather be able to get a 1-bedroom each time. Prices are such a bummer though!

Last week I was wishing that I bought more VDH because I've borrowed most of mine from next year and I wanted to book another reservation. The point difference was over 100 points less than VGC for the same days that I was looking at.

Then I watched YouTube videos of the one and two bedroom VDH units and decided I'd rather pay a lot more to stay at VGC. I'm fine with the studios at VDH but I seem to hate the kitchen/living room combo in the one and two bedrooms. If it were just my husband and myself, it would be fine, but I was going to book a friends stay and for some reason, I didn't like the layout for that.

How do you feel about booking a studio for a few days and then moving to the one bedroom? I've been thinking about doing that for longer stays since the first day is a travel day and we usually want a sit down meal. After a few days, it would be nice to do laundry and have some of our own meals in the room. Not sure if it's worth the hassle, though.

Hmm....I'll have to look at the 1-bedroom layout at VDH. I only vaguely remember it but I don't recall having an issue with it when I saw it online. Hoping to see one in person soon though!

We will not switch rooms mid-trip because it would just confuse our son too much. Plus, we really like to "move in" and unpack all of our crap. Ha!

Sorry to hijack your thread, Tx!

Our travel is different than yours, but I can say as of now I am much happier with my VDH purchase than my VGC purchase.

I don’t mind the hijack at all. I love a good rambling thread.

Is that because of the sad VGC refurb? Or for other reasons?

The refurb was a disappointment for sure. But it's mainly due to availability. Commercial renters tend to not rent out VDH as much as VGC since you have to own unrestricted points to book there amoung other things.
