The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Ssplashhmtn]

I think it says something like 12 weeks to arrive.

I did not think I bought my contract in time Friday to qualify for the travel set. But the last 2 pages of my contract include a “Travel set add on acknowledgement”. I wonder if all contracts have that?, even if you did not make the cutoff?

I think so-mine included this but I didn't make the cutoff.

Approximate date is June 19th of this year.

We’re going to be there 6/16 - 6/20 so I just want to know how approximate “approximate” is

That would be weird, if they include the acknowledgement even for folks who missed the cutoff, since the language in the acknowledgment says they they are committing to send the luggage as long as you follow through with the purchase.

It does seem weird. I'm hopeful that somehow I get them but not too hopeful.

I assumed that if you got the paperwork that included the 2 pages about the luggage you got the luggage. But no one told me that, so maybe I assumed wrong? My guide said we did get the luggage both when we did our down payment and when I called yesterday to finalize the rest of the balance, and I got my edocs on Thursday early afternoon, so I do think we got it:

Really?!?!! That’s great! I’m wondering if they’d let me combine incentives for RIV & VGF across 2 UY (& I’d even agree to the paying VGF price for the RIV points since they’re currently under different incentives!)

They told me know, but please let us know if it works!

Just got my docs & points a few minutes ago.. Bought last night around 8 pm Eastern.

I'll be calling MS on 3/14 to book one of the new resort studios for the last few nights of November.

Quick question - if I want to do the same (book a resort studio for Fall) but don’t want to borrow my new VGF points from next year to do so (I’m a Dec use year), can I use current use points from my BWV contract to book a resort studio beginning March 14th (not sure which month yet, Oct or Nov, so might be 7 mos, might be 8). Also, can all DVC members begin booking Resort studios beginning March 14th?

I think not, it’s not entirely clear, but I interpret the booking announcement to mean that 3/14 is only open to booking VGF2 w/ VGF points, & that to use other resort points like your BWV points you’ll be able to book starting mid May. https://dvcnews.com/resorts/grand-floridian/news/5244-resort-studio-reservations-open-march-14-2022

No. Only VGF owners (of both buildings) can book resort studios on March 14. Non-owners have to wait until May 13.

Not positive, but I think everyone will be able to book online as of May 13. As mentioned, owners booking the resort studios before then have to call MS to do it.

FWIW, I don't think all of the resort studios will be booked by owners before booking opens for all members on May 13, so it's probably a good gamble to wait and use your BWV points. But YMMV.

Here's the official info from the DVC Website:

Anyone know if I still qualify for incentives if I split my contracts and the memberships have different names? (One in just my name that ties to the existing one I already have AND one in my name and my husband’s so he gets a blue card too.)

In case anyone else is wanting to do something similar, I WAS able to get the incentives even though I am splitting my contracts with some in just my name and some with my husband (a new member).

How did it work?

 

[DisneyMom_3]

How did it work?

I did a 150 point contract with my husband (minimum for a new member) and then 3 - 50 points in just my name that I will add my kids to as they get older. (I had originally tried to do 3 - 100 point contracts in mine and my husband’s name, but couldn’t because one contract needs to be a minimum of 150 with a new member.)

But I mean, how did they determine which incentive level you were at since you bought multiple resorts?

oh sorry, just realized I think you had multiple contracts at the same resort.

In search of opinions.

I already hold contracts in multiple UY’s April and June. im thinking about adding on 200 VGF In either April or June UY. Either 4 x 50 or 2 x75 and 1 x 50. I’m already a blue card member so if i need to downsize I don’t need to worry about that and smaller contracts tend to sell at a higher price.

My April UY hold my unrestricted points and my June UY my restricted points which include my current 125 points VGF contract. This wasn’t intentional but just ended up like this.

it would be nice to have my unrestricted points in the same membership as I then don’t need to worry about booking Rivera or future resorts From that particular membership. OTOH having all my VGF points under the same membership is also good to be able to book larger rooms without having to move points around.

im leaning towards having them in my April UY and should I ever need to book a 2br I can move the points by calling MS Same goes if I’m a few points short in either UY.


What do you think?

I would add VGF2 to the existing VGF membership. This would confer blue card status to that membership, which could be important if booking Moonlight Magic during a VGF stay. It will also make booking VGF at 11 months easier if you want larger accommodations. If you feel the need to book RIV using the April UY, you can easily call MS ahead of your 7-month window to make the transfer. You just have to be very clear that the points to be transferred come from the contract with unrestricted points.

Great another time where DVC screws up the phone lines for everyone because of something for a small group.

Yes. Multiple contracts at the same resort.

 

[Frugal Fairy Tales]

Does anyone have the VGF2 room breakdown stats handy (how many of each room... standard, lake view, theme park view)? Thanks.

I'd add to the UY you don't plan on selling first. I don't see any advantage to two UYs that close to each other and I would be moving toward consolidating.
