Grand Floridian Pricing Debuts

Today, Disney Vacation Club will reopen sales for the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at prices which begin at $207 per point and dip to $186 each for a purchase of 200 points and just $174 each for 1000 or more.

This matches current prices for Disney's Riviera Resort and Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas.

No discounts are offered for purchases of 25 to 124 points. However, beginning at 125 points, members can save $8 each. The savings climb with the volume of the purchase, maxing out at $33 off each point for add-ons of 1000 or more.

A portion of the incentive is set to expire on March 30, 2022. For instance, the $21 discount for 200 points will drop to $17 off effective March 31.

The complete list of discounts is as follows:

Grand Floridian Add-On Discounts Effective March 3
125-149 points: $8 off per point
150-174 points: $10 off
175-199 points: $13 off
200-249 points: $21 off
250-299 points: $22 off
300-499 points: $28 off
500-999 points: $31 off
1000+ points: $33 off

The above discounts are valid only until March 30, 2022, at which time the incentives will decline by $3-5 per point to the following:

Grand Floridian Add-On Discounts Effective March 31
125-149 points: $5 off per point

The pricing for the new Villas is live on the Add-On Website. They're $207 a point with a 2064 expiration date. I am so tempted to buy a small add-on contract.

Me too, I bought slightly higher than this during the first round! Can do a minn of 25 points if paying cash, which is what I am thinking.

Interesting that we've stayed in a 1br twice, 11/2017 and 11/2019 and have had the boring stainless steel fridge both times.

Maybe we should file an ADA complaint? Both were HA 1brs.

ADA room, we got it this past year and I was shocked at how much different the layout and kitchen is than standard 1 bedroom.

Does anyone know when BPK will open this summer?

Does anyone know when BPK will open this summer?

In the pricing thread I’m seeing June, but didn’t see exactly when in June.
So I guess I’ll spend my spare time today playing w/ the point charts to see if I really ‘need’ 125-150 more VGF points
I’d been thinking about adding 100, but heck I don’t get the $ off unless I go up to 125, and if I’m going 125 might as well think about 150 to become a ‘real’ blue card rather than my current grandfathered blue card. My analytical mind recognizes the illogic in that - but Disney for me seems to be one of those areas where the heart rules.

On the VGF2 pricing thread, someone posted that they had been told June 22. VGF owners will be able to book starting March 14, so we'll have a definite opening date no later than March 14.

Agree! Go for it- It seems like a really good deal. We bought in slightly higher than $207 but not enough to make a big difference. But, I feel really good right now that I didn't dive in and add on more points when it was at $255. I will be doing a smaller addition, but cannot resist.

Hover over the red circle on the sofa- it is a single sleeper.

Will all VGF owners will be able to book in VGF2 beginning March 14? I have a January studio booking for friends and they would try a resort studio for a night. The two queens and chair bed won them over.

Has it been said anywhere that you can book a deluxe studio vs resort studio? I know the point charts are the same, but will there be differentiation when booking?

Yes, they are separate types of accommodations, just like 1 BR vs. 2 BR, and each has various views that can be booked as well. Anything that’s listed separately on the points charts can be booked separately.
