I tend to agree with you, but as President’s Day Week is winter break week for a lot of New England and I believe some other states, I was thinking they might announce to catch the hordes of us descending during that week. (We have a large friend and family group of 50 people going that week).
How many rooms were declared?
From what I heard, 1/2 of the rooms were declared. Not sure if it is true.
No more info from my call, and per mine and others on the boards, the calls seem to be just "hey you're on my list to call once I know more". I would imagine some sales guides were proactive in making this "I don't know anything yet" call and other probably are letting the dust settle a few days to see if they can call w. More info.
Those are 100% "Hey, while I have you on the phone..." calls.
Agree, I usually screen them anyway for this reason. my guide has always been respectful of having notes from past calls, so he hasn't tried to trap me on the phone to try and get me to buy aulani points to take my one year old on a 10 hour flight :-D
Wowza...I must have missed the invite LOL! Have a blast!
This trip was postponed twice! We’re all determined to go, though crowd reports have me worried. All rooms except for 11 people we are providing with our points (though in fairness 6 people are renting from us).
. Though if you’re in Disney at the time, we should meet up!
Wouldn't that be a hoot! You are amazing to coordinate that many people! Our largest crowd was 9 and we were six (a 1 BR and 2 studios) in October. It's like herding cats...This trip was postponed twice! We’re all determined to go, though crowd reports have me worried.

I’d love to invite everyone here but my budget - and points! - only go so far.
IT. IS. I am very excited for this trip but will be so glad when I no longer have to plan it, LOL.Wouldn't that be a hoot! You are amazing to coordinate that many people! Our largest crowd was 9 and we were six (a 1 BR and 2 studios) in October. It's like herding cats...
One can only hope that they are rethinking the amenities. Don’t know if it’s feasible to create a split bath in those new units. But if all of this could be done, it will bring the new units up to par with the original VGF units. Since they are the same points per night, they may even need to rename them as “deluxe”. Then that would definitely create a demand for the newer units. Maybe only have a handful of “resort” studios where the structure would not allow for the conversions, and those with no balconies.
The whole reason for the resort studio is cost. If they split the bath, then it’s not much harder to add a sink for a deluxe studio. They do not want to spend the money on renovating, when they can do a soft goods refurbishment and sell it for over $200 pp.
