Poll: Are you considering a new or add-on purchase at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel?

 

[SaraSpringsIsHome]

Nope. Our trips to Disneyland are just too infrequent and we have enough points for our family needs currently (315).

We were all in on buying VDH but the cost per point plus the tax and parking might be a deal breaker for us. We own a small VGC already so we can book there and hope to add a few nights at VDH for a split stay at 7mo window with our other WDW contracts. We will be diving into the numbers this weekend to see if we want to make the leap.

 

[Drfate102]

We are, it will give us a Disneyland trip every 3 years or so.

We were originally on the fence since the studios only slept four and it was a studio heavy property; however, we felt the point chart was better than expected so we were 100% ready to pull the trigger once those came out. Then the pricing details came in....

We are East coast and wouldn't go to Disneyland enough to justify the high buy-in/mfs on top of the additional fees when actually staying there. We will either hope for the 7mo window or stay offsite.

Maybe when the kids are older and we can take more trips just the two of us we will look into VGC or VDH resale. The possibility of a Disneyland expansion gives me pause and we may regret it if that comes through but it is way too up in the air to make a commitment based on that, especially with a contract that has resale restrictions.

LOL, we're way too old to buy a resort that ends in 2074!

(If the poll question was something about planning to buy before and changing mind after details came out, I wouldn't have answered at all.)

 

[Epcot Forever Forever]

We were. Not anymore.

 

[Sandisw]

I didn’t vote because we were never considering it as an option.

 

[fitnessmouse]

Wasn’t going to buy but hoping to reserve at 7 months. Now, with the taxes and parking fee i may just as well stay offsite.

 

[TinkB278]

Was never considering it but was excited to try it and book at 7 months. With the tax I’d rather just try to book vgc.

 

[lorie13]

One of my biggest regrets was not buying into VGC as I thought "we only live an hour away", so buying VDH was a consideration. The buy in of $4.60 a point over the 50 years is high, but expected. I feel the biggest turn off is the dues and the transient tax as they will only go up yearly. $4.60 plus $11.82 per point puts you at $16.42 a point this year. OUCH!

 

[Coolestdad12]

Being on the West coast I was excited for the new Disneyland Tower. However... resale restrictions, high dues, occupancy tax and no free parking? Looking like a pass unless there are some great incentives. Resale prices should be pretty attractive once those start hitting the market.

 

[Wedgeout]

Not after this reveal. Won’t add on here. I’m part of the seasoned age group. I can’t commit the rest of my life and family to these terms. So many other fun DVC purchase options to spend that much up front money on. I’m still looking forward to our splurge stay September 28 for fours nights.

 

[kanerf]

I sent the announcement to my brother who lives in Arizona. It would be a much better fit for him as I am seldom on the West Coast any more.

 

[Dodgerburt8]

I was so excited to get my blue card with a 150 point purchase at VDH. Yesterday crushed my dream! Lol. I live out west but I’m now strongly considering VGF instead. Cheaper to fly my family to Orlando than buy in at this ridiculous level!

 

[AstroBlasters]

We didn’t care for the theming.

I sent it to a friend (not a current DVC member) who has a pre-school aged little girl and she loved it. So there is a market for it, just not for us and our 9/13 year old sons.

 

[SL6827]

I think I read where it is only like a 20% savings now with the fees having to be paid when checking out? Will possible parking lower that number even more?

 

[bobbiwoz]

I didn’t vote because we were never considering it as an option.

I never considered it, but voted no. Maybe I should have read the post before voting, but now I did, and it wasn’t asking if you had been thinking about buying.

 

[FireflyTrance]

I was maybe planning to, but the ridiculously high transient tax and charging for parking has made it a deal breaker for me. I already own VGC and RIV so I’ll just try to book VDH at 11 months and hope for the best.

 

[BamaGuy44]

Nope, have never set foot in CA We want to, we are planning a LA/DL stop as part of our Aulani trip next year. But no desire to own DVC out there.
