The VGF 2 pricing thread

[nuhusky123]

It’s not just having two showers it’s that the deluxe rooms have a standing shower vs just a tub shower. I’m not a fan of tub showers

However, playing devil’s advocate one of the reasons I didn’t buy VGF resale before was I heard how hard it could be for owners to book studios even 11 months out during certain times (fall - December which happen to be my favorite times to go). Now I have no idea if that’s true or if it was that big of a problem, but the plus side for original owners who want studios is that there could potentially be more availability and less anxiety with booking 11 months out.

Yes, getting a VGF1 Studio reservation is very difficult.

Having access to 200 new studios at VGF2 should completely change the situation for December. Just look at PVB, which still has studios available for most of December.

But I understand the trepidation of those who prefer 1BR and 2BR.

So I take it today was a big womp-womp in terms of pricing.

Yup

It’s kind of weird they posted the link to get a call when there really is no information to receive

It was an exciting day, just at the wrong property- BLT. This anticipation for VGF2 pricing feels a bit like Waiting for Godot...

It's not just the mini fridge/microwave that make the original deluxe studios more attractive to me over the new 'resort studios', it's the split bathroom too. As a current owner though, I hope most people feel like you do.

I have to say as an owner who prefers the deluxe studios, you should be on here using some reverse psychology talking up the resort studios you’re making good points for the deluxe studios when I thought the resort studios were preferable

I’m still surprised the point cost is the same between the two types of studios given the lack of kitchenette and split bathroom. I know the resort studios are a bit larger but it still doesn’t seem like enough to justify the high points chart.

I’d agree with that. I think 1 point less for resorts would have been more appropriate. could argue two queens and bigger room makes up for one of those amenities not being there

Are the beds bigger? I thought all dvc studios had queens?

Only the studios at OKW have two real queen beds. At the other studios, there’s one real queen bed plus a pullout sofa or the ones being refurbished and riviera have a Murphy bed instead of the pullout sofa. I think two real queen beds is way better than a pullout sofa. I wouldn’t want anyone spending the vacation sleeping on a pullout sofa really. But if you are traveling with only 2 people and staying in studios, it’s likely that this doesn’t matter to you.

The Resort Studios have two actual queen beds (like the hotel room) where the Deluxe Studios have one queen bed and a queen-size Murphy sofa bed.

The best way to explain the difference in the beds IMO is that the Resort studios will always have 2 beds and a couch available where the Deluxe studios you have to pick the 2nd bed or the couch at any given moment.

Also Disney uses 2” thicker mattresses on dedicated beds then they do on wall beds.

As we wait for pricing. Sorry, I still can’t understand why these DVC Hotel Rooms are being called “Studios”. Without the kitchenette they are just Hotel Rooms that are booked with DVC points. Two “Real” beds doesn’t make it a Studio. What’s next.? Perhaps DVC Pop Century Hotel Studios?

It will be "The Deluxe Villas at Pop Century".........

I’m guessin’ most folks will want “location, location, location” as VGF owners/fans who like to poo-poo the Riviera like to remind us.

LOL! That has been my mantra.....poo-poo the Riviera as much as possible.

 

[Jelly563]

along those lines, I fear that most contracts will be 100pts or less. That means more contract owners and mostly studio people.

My guess is that VGF2, like other new DVC resorts, will mostly be bought by first-time direct buyers. They will be motivated (by Disney) to buy 150 points.

But since VGF2 is nothing but studios, it makes sense that these will be mostly studio people.

I don't think that VGF2 will be marketed as "studios only". They're going to present it as the full complement of VGF options from resort studio to grand villa. There will surely be people purchasing enough VGF2 points to book those larger villas. My concern is that there will be just enough of them to make booking the limited number of larger villas a real challenge.

I hope so! Being a VGF owner, I’m nervous about the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom availability.
