The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Epcot Forever Forever]

I’d be shocked, fall off chair shocked if Disney doesn’t have NDA language in their employment docs. It might not be an explicit NDA as a separate doc but likely in the employment docs she signed

no public large company in the USA doesn’t have an NDA in place with their employees

I work for a Fortune 500 company in a management role and I’ve never signed an NDA.

Again would be shocked if your on boarding docs didn’t have a non disclosure clause

Going into debt to go on vacation isn’t a great decision. I’d think most people who are buying dvc today given min buy in is around $31k can afford deluxe. Perhaps back in the day when dvc was affordable this may not have been the case but let’s not forget today the minimum you have to set down is $31,000.

That’s a car, a large mortgage payment etc I find it hard to believe most who can afford this are not already deluxe clientele or used to four star accommodations

We are trying to get a BCV resale right now, I know less than 20 years left, we have been rofrd twice already. We go to Disney on average 3 times a year, half the time staying off property or at value and moderates. I've rented DVC points a few times and loved the deluxe. I can afford but can't justify a $700 a night hotel room. But even buying a less than 20 year dvc, with maintenance fees just took that $700 hotel room down to $280-$340 during the times of that that we go to Disney. We'll be 71 in 2042 so the 20 years does not bother us.

That’s the same reason 42 years on VGF doesn’t bother me. I’ll be in my late 70s by the time it expires. 42 years (or even 20) is a REALLY long time. Plus VGF expires in 2064. Riviera in 2070, so it’s actually only 6 years between the two. Expiration dates really have never factored into which resort I would buy. For me, buying where I want to own is far more important. The math still works on any of them.

I don’t recall seeing this in thread but if VGF2 opens at $207 a point what are predictions for average resale price once things settle? I was tempted to buy once this was announced but with recent changes at Disney I hesitate to give them more money. However, if we see decent discount of resale vs direct once market adjusts I would have hard time not buying a resale contract.

I'm waiting to see the March 3 prices. No way I will pay the current asking price for the small VGF contracts if Disney sells for the same price as Riviera ($207). Most of them seem to be stripped, too.

Nope…not Disney, and not with with current company either..so I am going to leave it there.

That’s my thoughts too. There would have to be a pretty large spread to get me to ever consider resale if they sell at $207 because you will most likely get 21 UY pts and most contracts I’ve seen on resale are stripped like you say. So just that alone negates any savings in my opinion. Not to mention the unrestricted points buying direct and other member benefits. And not having to deal with the hassle of resale, ROFR, time to close, etc.

The level of loyalty your daughter has is impressive! I would tell my mom anything without her even asking probably good I don’t work anywhere with interesting secrets. I struggle to keep bday and Christmas gifts a secret.

 

[Sandisw]

I don't know what the pin codes were. Care to tell me?

Not sure if they still send them but they were special deals given to certain guests via email that allowed for discounts not open to the general public.

They could not be transferred to others and were for cash rooms. it was like winning the lottery when people got them!,,

Tell me about it! I even tried to bribe her! Nope…didn’t spill even then!

Yup, those were great.

Nearly caused marital strife, though, when I decided to send Disney my email and got 3 pretty nice ones 3 years in succession. Used them for sweet discounts on GF CL.

DH's had been the email address for us previously, so he was somewhat chapped by my luck as he had gotten 1 piddly one for a time of year we couldn't go.

Those were the days.

I just checked. They didn’t. I’m remote so I have them all in my email.

I’ve always found myself signing a couple NDA’s while employed, the couple coming in when a special project gets its own NDA

I found the pricing:
$100/pt for blue card members
$200/pt for new members
$300/pt for white card members

If only this were true I’d be in hog heaven

I can confirm.

The bus driver that took me to Disney Springs told me.

And then, there's that prime oceanfront property in Arizona...

My wife had just booked a cash room when we received one of these. Immediately canceled the cash reservation and took the special. As I recall it was quite a savings at a Moderate resort instead of Value resort.

 

[DaveNan]

I'm hoping the launch of the new resort will drive them to open up AP sales. (rebellions are built on hope)

I got one recently but it was for my mom! She’s never been to Disney except when I take her. This is the fourth one I’ve received for her in the last few years, but when I try to use it, it is tied to her name. Of course, she doesn’t go every time with us and the dates never seem to work out!
I have no idea why they send hers to my email. To add insult to injury, I’ve NEVER received one!
