The VGF 2 pricing thread

[DVCsloth]

The original announcement said it would become part of the current association so no, no doubt.

Was there ever any doubt that all VGF owners would have home resort advantage across both sets of villas? I thought we basically knew that for sure from day one.

I was kind of hoping it was going to be a separate association. Not real big on Studios Only.

It'll be interesting to see how guest demand shakes out. I'll be dying to get into one of these things at 7 months if they're ever available. 2 real beds is MUCH preferred for my family over a queen and a couch. And I find the kitchenettes useless.

Now we just need to convince Disney to build a King bed studio some place.

We don't even use the kitchens in the 1 and 2 BDR units we stay in, we just like the number of beds and the S P A C E !

I'm pretty confident they will be popular. It's an awesome resort.

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

Is that true? I thought you could still buy small contracts, you just wouldn't qualify for membership extras.

150 minimum for new members, 25 or 50 for existing, depending on the resort.

Dude I scramble so many eggs. If my parents come with us in a 2BR we go through a dozen a day, easy.

Not to mention the fact that Riviera is unavailable to resale buyers so for people who want this type of atmosphere, this will be their only option.

I think that's going to be a problem at Disneyland. That's a week's worth of points but nobody goes to Disneyland for whole weeks.

Our owner's locker has all of the necessary kitchen supplies: a 500 count box of Sugar in the Raw packets, a Brita filter pitcher, and 2 pounds of coffee.

Well, we haven't seen point charts yet. It might be a long weekends worth.

However people close by will go for more than one trip. It's not uncommon for us to go for 3-5 days a couple times a year and it is a flight for us from Reno.

And of course one could purchase resale and then add on a smaller amount than 150 at DL.

It's the weirdest thing because I'll cook breakfast just about every morning, and I've cooked lunch or dinner a combined zero times, ever.

Here's a picture report from Big Pine Key and it shows a connecting door. I've seen a couple other people who have stayed there report that there are connecting rooms.

Actually, in looking at this picture it appears that DVC is probably following this exact same layout and furniture type. Really stretching themselves. And why the build can go so quickly. Throw some paint on the walls and new floors and voila - DVC to sell!

We probably WOULD cook breakfast if we cooked anything, but we're usually anxious to get our day started when we're on vacation. That, or we're too lazy...hahaha.

I don’t know if this is representative of big pine, it probably is. But according to this blueprint rooms all seem to connect. I’d actually hope some don’t as I dislike having an adjoining door

Please don't assume that everyone who might join this thread is as up-to-speed as VGF2 as you are.

There was a question earlier today about this. See:

I don’t know much about VGF (and VGF2). Will you only be able to book studios and not 1 or 2 bedrooms? There seems to be a lot of interest for VGF2. Is it the location that makes it special?

Quite the opposite. I haven't kept up on this thread and was confirming my own ignorance on the topic. I wasn't saying "lol we always knew this," I was asking "wait, did I miss something? Because I thought..."

The room in red seems unique. Odd shape but it also shares a wall with an elevator. Likely very loud. Last hotel I had that shared a wall with elevator all I heard all night was the elevator going up or down. Drove me bonkers

room in blue would suck as well. I will def be avoiding these two locations

We are the same way, cook breakfast in the room almost every morning, but never really cook lunch or dinner (short of a frozen pizza for the kids). Still just having breakfast in the room saves a ton of money over going eat breakfast every morning, plus we generally are not in a rush to get to a park in the morning so its pretty easy for us.

Touring Plans shows the following floorplan for the 1st floor at Big Pine Key. I think it shows the room you identified in red as a non-bookable room. My guess is it's some sort of maintenance room.

Awesome so then just avoid the blue room
