I feel like it was built just for the DVC wing of VGC….Shhhh! Don’t tell! That’s one of the best kept secrets!![]()

I guess I’m thinking more of the process to go to Disneyland through the downtown Disney security line. I’ve never been through the security entrance near paradise pier, so I’m not aware of how many bag check and security lines they offer there.Not with the Paradise Pier entrance…
It only works for DCA, but it is amazing….I guess I’m thinking more of the process to go to Disneyland through the downtown Disney security line. I’ve never been through the security entrance near paradise pier, so I’m not aware of how many bag check and security lines they offer there.
This is why we did not want to buy Riviera and picked VGF.I’m not an expert on Disneyland, but I’ve read Swan and Dolphin are even better than the Good Neighbor resorts. So, just for comparison, makes me question paying more for Riviera than for VDH when Riviera is competing with Swan and Dolphin, where you can literally walk to two theme parks.
Ticket prices for Day 1-3 at DL are very expensive, Days 4-5 cost almost nothing.This is why we did not want to buy Riviera and picked VGF.
I would point out though, that most people are looking for Disneyland trips to be short - 3-4 days tops. Disney world trips tend to be longer, and the allure of true DVC villa accomadations probably matters more. Plus, you still have the skyliner. It’s not like they are selling you OKW.
Being FL based, and an AP holder, I’d have no idea. That might help DVC Sell a few more units, but who knows…Ticket prices for Day 1-3 at DL are very expensive, Days 4-5 cost almost nothing.
If we can stretch it out to 5 we always do, even if we just go in the evening and do other SoCal things during the day…
Exactly, I'm thinking the 5-day hopper is the perfect trip & they know it. Even if only 4 nights, you use the $30 (4th) day on travel day to DLR, & the $20 (5th) day for travel day when you leave. (w/ 3 full park days between) Also why 75-80 points was the perfect amount for a VGC contract for me (4 nights = 2 weekdays & 2 weeknights)Ticket prices for Day 1-3 at DL are very expensive, Days 4-5 cost almost nothing.

VDH looks better located than both Riviera or VGF.This is why we did not want to buy Riviera and picked VGF.
Is BPK all studios? I didn't know that (if so)VDH looks better located than both Riviera or VGF.
I stayed at Grand Flo based on everyone touting the walking path. It’s a good mile walk from the Villas building to Magic Kingdom. That is not an ‘easy, quick’ walk. I’m sure big pine key is closer, but I don’t like studios.
Yes, BPK is all studios, specifically Resort Studios, so-named because they are in essence regular GF hotel rooms decorated in different colors and with the addition of a microwave and toaster. The Deluxe Studios are all in the original VGF building and have a kitchenette, which includes a mini fridge instead of beverage cooler as well as a bar sink.Is BPK all studios?

Sadly the bump from 3 days to 5 days jumped from $55 to $90 in the last hike. Still obv much cheaper than days 1-3 but UGH.Ticket prices for Day 1-3 at DL are very expensive, Days 4-5 cost almost nothing.

Ooooh, that is a bit more… also increased the Park Hopper a bit….Sadly the bump from 3 days to 5 days jumped from $55 to $90 in the last hike. Still obv much cheaper than days 1-3 but UGH.
For those in resale market and can wait -- 1 year from now when dues hit again; it'll be down to $130 range and local folk will kick the tires with that pricing.Looks like another VDH resale contract hit the market. Asking for $170 for 155pts.
