Rumoured 10/1 Date For Start Of VGF2 Sales

[DonMacGregor]

I’m new and will be buying dvc, just a question of where.

Is vgf going to go on sale soon or is the realistic date more into 2022?

The more logical date would be closer to or into 2022. The realistic date is not any time in the immediate future.

Wait, they didn’t sell to you? I picked up a cool 1,000 points because Captain likes Grand Villa stays, and money is no object what with my trove of treasure. I guess my points are buried treasure also since some pirates who are more equal than others, like moi, were able to purchase at the private auction today …

My pick is sales start in February or March - just in time for tax refund season.

I'd bet later this year to take advantage of the holiday crowds. If VGF2 is going to open this summer, buyers need some advance time to make plans, no?

If they were really going to be open for bookings summer 2022 you would think they would be selling by january 1…but who knows.

They're regulated by Florida timeshare law. In a nutshell, they have an existing base of points that represents the current inventory. In order to sell more points, they need to add inventory. While there is a carve out for pre-sales, the new inventory has to be ready within a certain period, and those buyers informed that they cannot use their purchase before the inventory is ready. To prevent unscrupulous sellers from pre-selling, there are requirements to get to a specific percentage of completion before pre-sales, and significant penalties for not meeting the projected opening dates. Since this is a second phase of an existing timeshare, there may be even more rules regarding pre-sales. So, don't expect "VGF2" points to be sold until a LOT closer to the projected completion date than 9+ months away.

My guess is now Feb of March when renovations are most likely starting based on the announcement that said Spring 2022 to start with summer 2022 ready for stays.

Hope it goes on sale before my March use year and they allow me to get 2021 points! Still need to see more details though before I commit.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but if you purchase resale VGF points, will you be able to make reservations at VGF2 at 11 months out.

Since Disney described VGF2 as part of the VGF association, the best guess is “yes”.

My best guess is that VGF1 and VGF2 will be treated like Jambo House and Kidani Village.

Could it not be treated like Boulder Ridge and CCV? Or has DVC already said that option is off the table?

BRV and CCV are different associations.

Disney has already announced that VGF1 and VGF2 are in the same association.

 

[kilik64]

CCV is its own association separate from VWL. This is within the same association and is an addon to it, so the thought is it will all be the same points at vgf and vg2 and could be split like kidani and jambo for booking purposes. They might not though since these new rooms are classified different as Resort rooms vs Deluxe so could just see VGF only and then all theses rooms split out vs having vgf then a vg2 with only these resort rooms listed.

 

[Spinster Travel]

Talked to my guide today specifically about VGF2; she said they have not had any information come their way in regards to price, when they will start selling or if there will be any differences between the two (booking priority etc). She wouldn't even guess (can't say that I blame her). She did say she has quite a list of owners who have asked to be contacted as soon as it goes on sale. I'm sure many are like me and just want to know, but maybe not all that sure they definitely want to by.

No. The title of this thread is misleading because it was based on an inaccurate rumor.

There was nothing misleading about the title, and it was not an inaccurate rumor, it was a very good rumor. It just didn't pan out.

& I love that it’s still being used 10 days after the fact

And it would be inaccurate to say it wasn’t a rumor…indeed, that would have been the only major inaccuracy, which luckily we all avoided.

Rumors are like my mother's cooking...

Once in awhile they turn out to be good!
