The VGF 2 pricing thread

[DougEMG]

Obviously you have not stayed at BWV, or AKV. Now those hallways are longgggg. VGF1 has a covered walkway. Really a piece of cake walk. But I guess that is all relative….

That covered walk is a awesome when it is raining out. It has kept me dry so many times, love it.

I think the only time I didn't use my balcony was when I got parking lot view at Pago Pago. Didn't want to be gawked at by people getting into/out of their car. Just wasn't relaxing.

They need to fix Pago Pago. Add some additional landscaping or something. The parking lot is never full I'd almost rather stay at Saratoga than Pago Pago. I don't usually make room requests, but I always ask for Tokelau.

I tried to tell myself it was monorail view but the parking lot is literally right outside my window. People were annoyingly loud getting into/out of their cars early in the morning/late at night. I think my request was for Tokelau or Moorea, higher floors which obviously I didn't get.

I really enjoy my balcony when there is something to look at. Last time we stayed at VGF in a 1 bedroom, my little guy loved going back and forth on the balcony people watching and seeing the monorail drive in. I loved being able to pop out at night to catch the fireworks too.

The standard view balcony at RIV that can see both firework shows is awesome! Also have you really lived if you haven't woken up to a giraffe 20 feet away from your balcony?

Agreed! We stayed at Poly our last trip and it rained almost every day. We were definitely missing that covered walkway at VGF!

Especially if you are trying to get your laundry back from Moorea to Tokelau…

Well - since Feb 3/4 has passed and no new GF pricing info (although we did get some surprises on other resorts - BLT) - anybody making any new guesses? I’m really to the point where I don’t care how much points will cost - I just wanna know so I can make my plans!

March 4.

Disney would benefit by getting this out for sale to the general public for the start of the spring break crunch.

So maybe early sales to existing DVC members before March 4, perhaps later this month (February)?

This is me exactly!!! Just let me know.

Now that they have declared the rooms, I think we see base pricing in two weeks with sales starting first week in March.

Oh! Great point about spring break! I like your prediction.

The chance of getting Pago Pago parking lot view is why we usually book Lake View studios at Poly. For a lot of people it's not worth the extra points because you might end up with 1st floor and not see too much lake, but for us that's much preferable than ending up with parking lot at the Poly. But that's because we definitely do use the balcony/patio, and parking lot just doesn't carry that tropical theme. I still wish they'd do 3 room categories for Poly studios: standard, garden, and preferred.

The theme park balconies of VGF are the most appealing aspect of the new studios, for me. I also think the rooms are gorgeous! That said, I'm in the skeptical camp about VGF2 because of fears that it will make larger units hard to get at GFV. We typically use our Poly points when we want studios, and prefer 1 bedrooms+ at VGF.

I really like tubs, too, though more so the DVC master bathroom style tub than the standard tub/shower combo type.

I really just want to know the VGF pricing and restrictions while the BLT promo is still going on. Would hate for it to end before we find out!

I always use my balconies, in the a.m. drinking my coffee at AKV to look for animals & at VGF to watch the monorail or the boats & in the evenings w/ a beverage to do the same, or if I’m lucky to watch the fireworks. I will say that I rarely see others out on their balconies so I suspect I’m in the minority.

I'm also one who uses my balcony daily, no matter the view. Every morning with coffee, and evenings before going to bed. I agree though, I rarely see other people out on their balconies. I guess we're a small group. I wonder if requesting a balcony room would help. Then again, in 15 years as a DVC member I rarely have had a request fulfilled. They seem to delight in giving me the opposite.

I have a feeling that requesting one will become very popular to those who want it. I do love it and use it as well, but honestly, if I end up without one, it won't be the end of the world as staying here will always be part of a split stay!
