The VGF 2 pricing thread

150 for non members, but one has to assume dvc wants more new members buying the 150 points vs us existing members buying smaller contracts

also words used was typical, we are not typical

 

[Sandisw]

But the 150 point minimum will be for nonmembers right?

That is the minimum for new owners, or for any current owner who wants a new UY..which makes it a new membership.

Unless they change the add on rules…which currently are at 25 or 50 depending on resort.

I noticed on dvc there is now a gfv video. Not sure if it’s new, new to me but I grabbed this screen shot. Note fine print on typical cost. If we assume 150 point minimum buy in $31,000 is $207 a point

Although promising, the fine print doesn't specify a DVC resort - this could simply be the price for the Riviera.

Any idea what the $55,000 corresponds to? At $207pp, this represents 265 points.

I don’t know but the same language is on their general disclaimers page which says it hasn’t been updated since June https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/product-country-disclosures

It does say "on the shores of the magic" and shows the castle in the background - that would not be Riviera. $55,000 would be about right for points with a little incentive, for a week with a lake view. From a marketing perspective, always better to show a higher number TOO. Then the $31,000 looks more reasonable ...

The entire video is gfv, shows the new rooms

Website really on the struggle bus again. Can't even watch the propaganda video...

 

[Chuck96]

$55,000 would be $367/point, so obviously that is another vector. I'm seriously considering at a $31K buy in. I wouldn't even entertain the notion at much more than that, based on resale options.

Is that the highest priced DVC resort? Like is VGC over $300 now?

 

[nuhusky123]

The language said typical contracts range from $31-$55. That makes me believe at $207 people are buying in at 150 points up to 270 points as an avg range for first time new to dvc contracts

the important thing about this language is it does set a floor for pricing

I bet you are right! The fact that it is with the VGF video, it has to mean something because even RIV is not yet at $207.

 

[nuhusky123]

hard to argue with Math, kind of black and white

150 points we know is the minimum dvc will sell to new buyers

we know prices for riv and aul increase to $207 a point

the gfv video explicitly gives us the cost range of $31,000-$55,000

$207*150=$31,050

thats our base price for gfv

VGC is (I think) $310pp direct.

Hi everyone, if in fact $207 is the basic per point price for GF out of the gate, what do you think the graduated incentives will look like for DVC members? For example what do you think the discount will look like for 100 points, vs. 150 points, vs. 175 points, vs. 200 points etc.?

Secondly, we are fairly recent DVC GF point holders (2020 -- GF DVC is our CoVID baby ). Traditionally, can resale DVC members (like us) also take advantage of these incentives? We would like to add on to our current allotment at GF.

Also, based on DVC history, have the very best DVC direct pricing incentives been provided right when new points for a resort are made available? Can we assume that when the gates open, that will be the best time to buy-in if you are a DVC member vs. ...... six months down the road?

Thanks!

I'm totally unqualified to speculate on prices, but I can tell you that once you're a member, you're entitled to member pricing, whether your ownership is direct, resale or a combination of the two. And historically, the best prices for a new resort have been when it first went on sale. This being a previously sold out resort means that there's no history to go by.

Generally speaking the best prices are at launch, although we learned a pandemic closure can create one off exceptional offers.

All members have been treated the same in The past On intro offers.

I think the answer to this depends on how the pricing opens. I would expect adjustments quickly, if the price is too low, but not if it is too high. Setting the price too high and holding there could be an actual strategy, because there is no new construction.
