NEW VGF Building

[MICKIMINI]

Interesting development...and we thought they were asleep at the wheel?

So the current price for VGF is $255. Think it would be less than that with incentives when it goes on sale? Or is now always cheaper than in the future?

My thinking is since they will be entirely new contracts they could add the resale restriction no problem.

Wouldn't that really suck if they did that? I think there is already enough stratification in DVC between blue card vs white card, resale restrictions vs no resale restrictions. The last thing we’d need is differences at the same freaking resort.

I expect they’ll build another conversion at Poly or do a conversion at VGF (last one wasn’t technically a conversion). Or perhaps BLT2. But conversion is cheapest.

New one will be cheaper for sure. They’d like to move it move it.

Sold out resorts always sell at a fairly high premium. My best guess is that points will be higher than RIV, but not at $255 a point that they are selling sold out resorts for right now. It will be interesting to see what they go for though.

Wow, unexpected but excited for this. Have a small VGF contract but have been wanting to add more.

My two quesitons:

1) Will the "resort studios" point per night be priced the same as the existing studios in the DVC building?
2) Will the direct price per point be less than the $255 they currently charge for the "sold out" resort? On the one hand, it's absurdly high but on the other hand 200 studios is not a whole lot of points to sell and they could probably get away with it.

It’s a better location, honestly. And it should be half standard views.

that small subset of MK views will have......quite a point price

We’re in for a whole lotta surprises with this one

How big are regular GF hotel rooms compared to the VGF studio? I'm seeing 374 sq ft for the studios.

What all is involved in a "conversion"? Wish they'd put some 1br in these conversions. I'd've bought poly.

Since it’s going into the existing condominium association there won’t be any surprises on contract terms. Price and room categories, who knows.

Well, there are currently no restrictions in place if you buy VGF direct. I would think it would make it rather cumbersome to have restrictions for points purchased in one building (?). Don't you think? ETA: Unless the renamed it like BRV and CCV??

That won't apply here as BRV and CCV are different condo associations.

Looks like the regular GF rooms are 440 sq ft. LINK So potentially bigger than the current studios.

Should be a little over 2 million points. It won’t quite double in size.

Of course, Disney could always make this a new standalone DVC, but hopefully not.
