The VGF 2 pricing thread

[zebsterama]

To think that I bought VGF1 when it went on sale for $145/pt...

To think I bought at BWV at $55/pt.

Stop it, you're killing me!

It’s amazing how Disney has everyone excited about spending tens of thousands of dollars

Well the next thread will be about the starting price at Storyliving...LOL

i don’t know if excited is the right term. I feel pretty guilty about rewarding Disney for taking the dirty and cheap way out of renovating those new rooms without a kitchenette or microwave, but I’m just one man, and my wife really wants VGF add on…

And then it will be HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars and more! LOL

What, the Grand Californian isn't good enough?

Hahaha. If prevailing rate is any indication, that's really the crown jewel!

This was posted this morning on DVC News…

Grand Floridian Big Pine Key Villa Conversion To Begin March 1

On March 1, 2022, crews will begin work to add 202 new Disney Vacation Club Villas to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Similar notices have been provided to travel agents, confirming that work largely impacts the Big Pine Key building. Construction barriers, equipment and materials should be expected on-site during the conversion.

The Big Pine Key Resort Studios are expected to open in summer 2022. Sales may begin at any time, however exact dates and prices have not been revealed.

NEWS: TAs have been notified that construction will be beginning at GF and to expect noise.

Is the construction only in the Pine Key conversion or other non DVC resort areas?

This much-discussed disclaimer was again on the sweepstakes video. But it makes me think once again that they expect it to start at $207 (for 150 min for new members). So $207 is my vote! I think they can simply have different incentives compared to RVA if they want to differentiate.

Remember that disclaimer says 2062, which is AUL not VGF

Right! Okay, amendment: $220
Maybe I'll be closest without going over

So Disney is promoting a price in an ad they are using to get sales. Legally Disney will be at risk of breaking laws by presenting inaccurate prices which is then misleading. dvc risks running afoul of FTC truth in advertising

I think you’re correct, but the caveat is they haven’t started selling yet and the asterisk is there with the legalese. Disney knows how to CYA.

Best of luck to all who are planning on purchasing. Given all that we know, I say put in your final price for the open at VGF2.
I’ll start….opens at $255/pt. with incentives that bring it down to $214/pt. Lets have some final fun on this thread.

$215 with crappy incentives that are different from Riviera and Aulani.

Oh they know how to cya but it’s borderline intentionally misleading

The ad says the cost of DVC ownership starts at $31k, which is consistent with active sales. I'm sure they have this angle covered but it has certainly caused confusion, could still be $207 though. I guess $225 with stronger incentives to RIV. Based on previous sales Members will get about 30 day window before General Public

For now Pine Key but we are expecting the rest of the hotel side of the resort to get a refurbishment this year as well.

I told my mom she should buy a condo there =D

 

[davidl81]

$207 with actually pretty good incentives during presale first for existing members. Prices will rise fairly quickly after that though.

I don't see what's misleading about the ad, no matter how high they price. You can buy Aulani for that now.

 

[SusieQ93]

I am guessing $207 for the pp cost. But that might just be because that’s what I want it to be
