"On Sale Soon! The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa"

It must have been a limited time offer as it now shows it back at 50.

Why can’t they make their mind up. So CCV, RIV and VGF 2 will be minimum 50? The rest 25.

Sounds like it. I think the goal is to make 50 the minimum from now own. Why they reduced it for that short time, who knows. Maybe it was a mistake? Good old website!!

Will they hold off bookings from non-VGF owners in any way when they first open? Just curious if/how they’d be able to prioritize owners for the new studios.

I would not call those rooms studios. They are revamped hotel rooms. They aren't even going to have kitchenettes with real mini fridges....just beverage coolers. I would not waste a point on one of those rooms. I have a huge fear this is going to be the future of DVC rooms....

As part of the same association, there will be no restrictions and can book at all DVC resorts.

After what they did with RIV I would not trust DVC to not have a different view of the how the rules work then the rest of us do.

nice find

Let’s hope this week is the week! I just want price and sales start date!!

 

[smmora]

Do they usually announce the price and start date together or just announce the price on the start date?

I was just speaking to the three cast members in the VGC sales center, and they're all in the dark as well as to when VGF2 will drop.

 

[RoseGold]

Is this statement a default for Florida Timeshares? "Actual inventory offered may vary by state of residence." I see that at the bottom of the VGF2 info page.

It's illegal to advertise and sell timeshares in some places. They have to follow a lot of state specific rules -- and then they're selling from four different states, which also have their own rules. This is just covering their bases about what they aren't allowed to say to some people.

Hasn’t minimum for DVC owners been changed to 25?

We just bought 35 but could have purchased as few as 25 had we chosen.

Direct minimums depend on the resort. Some have 25 minimums and some have 50. Those minimums are for add on contracts, not new memberships.

Those may have recently changed to 25 for all, though. I haven't really kept up.

Not sure about the differing minimums but we just signed our add on contract last week for BWV. We could have also bought 25 at BCV as well. Up until reading these forums we thought the minimum was 50 across the board.

As best I can recall, the 2042 resorts have always been 25 minimum for add ons.

I'm not sure "resort studios" is the best name either, but "hotel room" sounds bland from a marketing perspective. While I think DVD is doing this primarily as cheap flip, adding more rooms with two beds can be a game changer for some families with older children. Currently, OKW is the only resort in the portfolio with double beds in its studios. GFV2 will increase that capacity at a resort with more amenities and closer proximity to the most popular park.

RIV is 5O for sure and I believe so is CCV. The rest of the resorts remain 25.

I expect that VGF will rise to 50 and all future resorts will as well.

When it changed to 25 on the website, I pushed my guide for 25 at Riviera. No go. I told him about the website and he even went back and asked and no was the response. It remains 50 at CCV and RIV (and presumably VGF when it starts selling again) and 25 elsewhere.

Same thing happened to me. I was even staying at RIV in October when it was still up and met with someone at the resort and showed them the website and they still said no it was a 50 point minimum.

 

[The Jackal]

They should keep VGF2 the same as VGF1 25 points.
