The VGF 2 pricing thread

[CarolMN]

I could see them adding something different to VGF2 to make those studios at least as attractive, or maybe attractive to different groups of owners. Many of the views from that building are lagoon view, with some park views - even if they don't make it a separate category, it might be appealing to enter that "lottery." The GF outbuildings are considerably closer to the bus stop and the QS and the big pool, and there might be the possibility of a smaller boutique-y lobby there as well.

What if they added a washer& dryer? I'd happily pay a few more points per night for that!

There's no ability to book guaranteed connecting studios at PVB. Or do you mean on the hotel side?

Correct I am saying they need to fix the system unlike how PVB works today. Today you book 2 studios, request it, and it likely will be a request that is filled.

I am saying its 2021 they should be able to make it so you book a room category (studios connecting) and its guaranteed then to be connecting. More like DCL.

Yes, agreed. And for us, Club Level would definitely mean an add on and 100% we would choose 2 or 1.

I suspect they will make the new studios really nice and worthy of Flagship status. Or I at least hope so because I really enjoy my 1BR stays at the Villas and hope that this doesn't make it harder to book a 1BR.

Sorry, meant 2 "OVER" 1

The more I think about it, the more I would seriously consider booking adjoining studios (if that were possible) even instead of a 1br for our family of 4 - the key being the ability to shut a door between our room and theirs, and that they would have a real bed and we would still have couches to sit on.

I would love that! However, wouldnt that require additional plumbing? And if it seems unlikely they will add the kitchenette sink, it would seem even more unlikely to add plumbing for a W&D.

No idea what it would take or cost. That said, they did add plumbing for the extra shower & sink and kitchenette for the Poly. So a girl can dream!

And given the fact these rooms are bigger it seems perfect to make them have them! It’d certainly be a big draw!

I did this when booked Poly with my daughters family. The Grand Kids really loved going back and forth between the 2 rooms. The draw back is not having a full kitchen plus no washer/dryer. Now we do not do a lot of cooking except for breakfast, really missed a good hot breakfast to start the day. So while we all enjoyed the stay, we all agreed for the points used it would have been better to book a one bedroom at BLT.

Let’s go wild and say a club level and a Washer/Dryer! That would actually get us to buy since I can justify the points chart by comparing it to 1BRs at other resorts. Club level can help with some of the breakfast type food, and of course the washer and dryer which are lifesavers for us on vacation.

I'm just thinking about the ridiculous profit Disney could make off of a washer and dryer..... They prob get the pair for about $600... Then even if it is 1pt per night, guests pay $245 for that point.....for 365 days a year !!! then if there are 2000 members, each pay $7 in dues. I know other things are included with dues, but we easily toss around a single point like it's nothing and the cost behind that point is expensive

Good point! I would love the washer & dryer. It’s a huge reason why I mostly book 1 bedrooms. And I would for sure pay a few more points to have one in a studio

 

[macman123]

I do wonder if they will have resale restrictions.

Would seem strange to be selling a brand new building, but without resstrictions.

But I cant see how they can have restrictions with the existing Association.

Since these are all studios, I would LOVE to see them attempt to furnish the room with a bunk bed . families with 2 kids 1 on the top 1 on the bottom. parents in the bed and maybe even the murphy to give all 5 a real mattress

The problem though is bunk beds do not work for adults so I’d think I’d be very limiting who would want that particular option.

They gutted the Poly buildings and started over. With the timeframe for VGF2, I don't see them doing much.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

There could be delays so maybe they will gut it and just open a few at a time, which technically keeps them “ on schedule”.

I'm not sure how much they can get done. The Poly took a year and (I assume) involved all of their 479 rooms and most common areas.

VGF2 has 200 rooms in one building. Disney announced spring to summer, which could be anywhere from 3 to 6 months.

Perhaps the VGF2 conversion will be more efficient since it's all in one building?
