The VGF 2 pricing thread

[CarolynFH]

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

This article from DVC News might have the information you want.

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).

So DVC has flipped on that again. I went round and round with them a few years ago. Spoke to a manager for an hour, covered a lot of DVC selling history, and he stated the law said they couldn't do it and in the past they had been mistaken to allow it. Now they were getting much more strict about following "the law". Of course law doesn't determine pricing but it wasn't going to happen. He was otherwise very up DVC.

FWIW - my guide had said no problem. Then the contract people came back and said no.

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 vote for June UY.

Thanks. The answer isn't in here, but I appreciate the effort

I thought maybe you could count the number of rooms in each colored circle (= view) and then multiply by the number of floors to get a rough number. Until DVD declares all the rooms into the condominium association (which includes filing the floor plans as shown in the article), I'm not sure that anyone of us will know all the numbers that you want.

I signed my documents already, so hopefully I am in the clear.
My guide did say originally that I could have 3 - 100 point contracts, but that wasn't allowed since my husband is a new member (so one contract had to be at least 150).
A little bummed because I would have received the luggage if I had been able to purchase on Thursday like I tried, but I'm happy to see the points in my account.

I signed both my contracts for my June UY and Dec UY that showed I got the 300 point discount as well so I think we are both good!

Congrats!

Called my guide today at about noon local time and received my eDocs around 8pm with the points loaded.

Weird thing is that beginning in 2025, this new contract is the only one showing in my Dashboard (this should be the third).. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe the system just needs time to refresh..? I'll call MS if it doesn't correct itself soon, but the important part is the 2022 points being loaded before 3/14.

I don't have quite the same issue, but I did notice my 2025 points were misaligned compared to my existing points. I assume it will correct itself over time, but it probably will require a call to MS to fix if you have a more pressing need since I'm not sure they'd have a system in place to catch an issue like that.

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.)

Do you have to pay for 4 separate closing costs when you do this?

 

[Cyberc1978]

Do you have to pay for 4 separate closing costs when you do this?

Yes you do and 4 separate document fees

 

[DisneyMom_3]

Do you have to pay for 4 separate closing costs when you do this?

Yes. The difference in the closing cost was minimal though. I asked for the total cost with one 300 point contract and then broken up into the multiple contracts. It was less than $60 more in closing costs. However, there is a $250 document preparation fee for each contract so that adds up. In total, it cost me a little more than $800 extra to have the four contracts instead of one.
But, this offers me more flexibility in the future, so I think it was definitely worth it.

It’s the same for me. My new VGF direct contracts show the 2025 points but my original VGF contract does not.

All my other ones are like that. The new VGF are the only ones showing to 2025.

i have this same issue. I have 4 other contracts (2 each for 2 other home resorts). My new VGF are the only ones showing points in 2025. I figured perhaps the system only shows a set # of use years worth of points? And since VGF doesn't have current points it would go farther? This was what i could come up with in my mind as a potential (logical?) explanation as I stared at the screen

If paying cash-is there a deposit/earnest required?

Yes, you must pay 10% plus closing costs down. Then the balance in 30 days, unless you ask them to spread it out for you. They have to get approval, but mine will be split to 90 days with final payment due 6/1

I'd just reiterate too, the deposit can be on your credit card so it's not necessarily cash out the door on day one.

Thanks for adding that. I assumed people would use CC for cash. Lol

& if you have a Chase Disney Visa you get 6 months free interest on whatever balance from your DVC purchase you decide to carry.
