Hi - we are new VGF owners now also. I am a little confused about the new room booking. I have a March use year not sure if that matters so I can book the new rooms now but I have to call member service or I can book online on May 13th but everyone else will be able to also?

Yes, you can book now if you have a VGF contract, but only by calling MS. And you have to use VGF points only. Starting May 13, I believe it will show up online so anyone can book using the standard process.

I was able to get someone on chat to book me two rooms yesterday in the new resort srudios,

So, it might work that way along with calling. But, to book on online, yes, it opens for all May 13th.

If I were you I would call today (or tomorrow). THere is plenty of availability now, but that will change on May 13. People from every other resort will be wanting to try the new rooms.

Also, talk to your guide about a “Welcome Home” booking. You only get one, and if you are new, you might as well use it. If your use year is March, I am not sure which points you get, but I think you should have some 2022 points so you should be able to book something now. Your guide may tell you different.

Well the magic didn't last very long! Got a call today and had to change the reservation to VGF points. Oh well.

Aww, I am sorry it didn't last

This is great to know! I need to swap a deluxe studio for a resort studio and didn't really feel like calling.

I have been an original VGF owner since they first started selling points in 2013 (?) and I am just NOW seeing this thread! LOL! And I have been a DIS board member for over 20 years....LOL!! Shows you how much I am paying attention (or really...don't visit as often as I'd like).

Once the resort studios open up, do you think it would be easier to snag a deluxe studio or 1 bedroom at the 7 month window? Thinking of trying to snag either one around Easter time.

I think that it will be harder for both at 7 months....

I figured as much. Probably see what I can grab and waitlist or just choose to stay at a home resort again this year.

Views from room 1222, 1 Bedroom Standard, the dreaded ones over the front entrance roof. The first one is a panoramic from the balcony about the middle of the room.

Are you there now?

Just got back, construction on BPK is in full tilt right now, but had a great week and the weather was very nice, not to hot and humid.

So this summer on Monday and Tuesday you dont have a single really nice sit down that is open at VGF? It seems weird they wouldn't expand Citricos days open with everything else closed seemingly.
