Poll: What would you pay for VDH Resale?

[AstroBlasters]

Shhhh! Don’t tell! That’s one of the best kept secrets!

I feel like it was built just for the DVC wing of VGC….

Not with the Paradise Pier entrance…

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.

It only works for DCA, but it is amazing….

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.

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.

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…

Being FL based, and an AP holder, I’d have no idea. That might help DVC Sell a few more units, but who knows…

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)

Considering the taxes and direct purchase price, I currently think it's overpriced. But a studio ranges from 13 to 34 points, which at a resale price of 150/pp and no financing means you're paying between $200 and $523 a night. Even with financing, that's only $20 to $50 more per night. That same room ranges from $620 to $900 after taxes if paying cash.

Yes, it is expensive for a DVC property, but it's also a very expensive hotel on its own.

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.

Is BPK all studios? I didn't know that (if so)

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.

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.

Ooooh, that is a bit more… also increased the Park Hopper a bit….

Looks like another VDH resale contract hit the market. Asking for $170 for 155pts.

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.
