I don’t know if sales will be that high. Park attendance still drives most DVC sales and I’d think you need park attendance back to pre covid levels to get 150k+ points.My fearless prediction, minimum of 150,000 points will be sold in first month (and quite frankly it would not surprise me is it comes close to 200,000).
Right?! I’m so the same! I’m second guessing now like “am I sure I want this?”It’s been fun chatting about it, but I’m one of those people FOMO has the opposite effect on. Playing hard to get doesn’t make me want it more, it actually kills my desire. I almost placed a bid on a resale Poly contract last night out of spite, but got talked out of it.
I bought BLT for $110 / point...
I bought VGF resale @$141 in 2017. The resort was sold out in 2015 at a base price of $165 pp. These predicted prices for VGF2 make my head spin!We bought BLT in 2011 for $112. That seemed sooo high then!
We don't speak aloud what we paid resale for our VGC last October.
But we live in western Canada and love Disneyland too.
I love how DVC has manufactured the idea in peoples head that $207pp is “low”. That is the pixie dust magic right there, they can list VGF at $207 and a majority of people on here will consider that a steal. When 2.5 years ago RIV opened at $188.I just listened to a podcast defend pricing at $207, and I have to say I was tempted for a minute.
But I don't trust DVC's future construction plans. If they're willing to sell VGF that low, then who knows what they will do next? No reason they couldn't print points by slapping up another loser, off site property. Or worse, convert a failed one somewhere. VGF pricing low is a bad sign. It means DVC isn't holding its spread against resale, and is desperate enough to be competing in resale. The extensive ROFR has shown they are already moving towards this strategy.
DVC has shown no loyalty to Blue Cards. They couldn't be bothered to slap a $100 discount on the Incredipass, and now they have really let DVC down, by not fighting for Blue Cards to buy APs at all, even Pixie Dust passes. I can buy my own evening ticket when the year-round party, hard-ticket strategy returns, which I don't think will take long.
If VGF opens at $207, it will send shockwaves through resale. Maybe I'll be ready to buy a resale Poly contract or a resale BLT. Maybe I'll be chilling at the July Halloween party at resale Poly instead.
I don't think DVC direct maintains a spread vs resale. Resale maintains a spread vs direct prices.I just listened to a podcast defend pricing at $207, and I have to say I was tempted for a minute.

Didnt you hear? Its a backpack....LOLNow, I want to see the luggage gift and know the price! My guide is calling me in the afternoon and I’m wondering if I should have him call earlier.
You sure no how to kill a party! Will miss you....Wonder if the Member Add-On tool will be available for VGF2 tomorrow? If so, that might be the easiest / fastest way to go for those of us prepared to pay cash. (I'm not really interested in joining the 'crowd' tomorrow, though).

Maybe that’s exactly what Disney wants.If VGF opens at $207, it will send shockwaves through resale.
If they were that determined to crush resale, you'd think they would actually have some blue card benefits.Maybe that’s exactly what Disney wants.
Disney keeps taking away resale benefits and adding restrictions, yet resale prices remain high. Disney seems determined to crush the resale market.
You mean you are not going to check the website after midnight like me??
Just kidding. I won’t be doing that!!
I mean, other than the fact that nobody would buy it.No reason they couldn't print points by slapping up another loser, off site property.
For some, I think the relationship is more akin to that with a clergyman or recovery sponsor...but with an enabling/codependence component.I have to confess that after reading this thread I am actually surprised how tight some of you seem to be with your guide. I have a very nice guide but I really don't have much contact with him. If only he knew how easy it would be to persuade me to buy more points Thank goodness he isn't reaching out and pushing me over the fence. LOL.
Adding blue card benefits costs them money.If they were that determined to crush resale, you'd think they would actually have some blue card benefits.
There are other ways to crush the resale market. The most current restriction was probably the most effective to date but still isn't draconian enough to kill resales. And I think it may have had a small impact on RIV sales, otherwise we would have seen a VGF2 conversion to a brand new condo association like CCV. I won't list my thoughts on other methods to discourage resale purchases because I don't want to give Disney any ideas.Maybe that’s exactly what Disney wants.
