The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Sandisw]

Let’s start

@$214 dvc just made clear riv is inferior to gfv

too bad universal owns rights to dr seuss, Disney could make a killing selling sneetches shirts at gfv gift shop

I am not sure if you have a $7/difference it can be seen as a huge statement…a $20/ or more difference might.

They may decide to offer better VGF incentives for nee buyers that puts them the same.

Since they just raised RIV to $207, it could be a short term difference…it may have been hard to raise RIV $13/pt as it has not been the typical norm,

I’d love getter incentives

It’s just so sad how they roll things out. It seems like they choose to leave people in the dark as long as possible. If they are starting to sell March 3, I refuse to believe they haven’t established a price.

They more than likely have a price. But, they're hardly going to tell us yet.

Nearly 2000 posts on this thread alone tells you how effective keeping thousands of people in suspense is--current owners and aspiring ones alike.

Pricing will not be released until March 3rd when sales start. Confirmed from my guide.

Any notion, based on historical data (such as RIV), when VGF2 sales might open up to non-DVC members? Two days later, seven days later, thirty days later? Just trying to factor in my "wait" to have to make a decision?

I got an email with a video today. Looks like 3/3/22 is the date VGF will go on sale. called my guide they don’t know pricing or point min yet

I asked this a bit ago, and I’m pretty sure the person who responded said it’s usually 30 days. Too many posts to scroll through at this point to look back, but it sounded to me like that’s what they’ve done in the past. Seems like kind of a long time though….

I have an April use year, if I buy March 3 I should get 2021 points and the 2022 points come April 1, 2022 right?

timing on this couldn’t be better as long as they price it right

The only tea leaf I saw (and this is pure speculation) was at the bottom of the promo video….it said “typically ranges from $31000-$55000” based on 150 new direct min the floor could be $207 (31000 divided by 150) BUT that is assuming 150 points. That probably doesn’t tell us much of anything because I don’t think anyone was expecting it to be less than AUL or RIV

Assuming they offer April UY with 2021 points. When RIV went on sale in April 2019, Feb UY was excluded from 2019 points as the resort opened in December…but I think that had more to do with timing.

In this case, I don’t think we will see any UY excluded.

But as someone said, what the heck will we all talk about once price is released?

We can talk about the real crown jewel of the Polynesian, the microwaves.

Can someone confirm how many rooms are connecting of the 200? I thought that was in here somewhere but this thread has gotten really long and I can’t find it. I just saw someone say on a different thread that it is only 82 of the 200 (well they said 41 of the first 100 rooms declared)…. Is that right? I thought it was a higher percentage of the total…

Of the 101 rooms declared, 82 have connecting doors, making 41 pairs of studios in that 101 rooms. https://www.dvcnews.com/resorts/gra...oridian-units-declared-into-condo-association

Ok great thank you- that makes more sense

I received an email from Disney today regarding Grand Floridian. The fine print specifies the typical cost range. The lower end of the range at 150 points(minimum buy in for new blue cards) equals approximately $213 per point without discounts. I asked my guide and he couldn’t provide any more information. I have attached a copy of the image. Hopefully there will be some discounts. That is only a $6 bump. I am considering buying a fixed week contract

I have a feeling dvc member incentives for a limited period are going to be pretty decent. Ground on no data, just a gut feeling dvc wants to make a splash with gfv

Haven't the $31k amount advertisements been since the price was $201
201 * 150 = 30,150 + plus closing costs

207 * 150 = 31,150 + plus closing costs

No $31k crept into videos after $207 was announced for riv/aul

With the amount of people on this thread ready to buy at $213 (if that was the imputed price from todays March 3rd announcement), I would think Disney releases at $225. Heck they might not have even finalized pricing yet ans are waiting to read these boards to see how thirsty people are! LOL. Would be spectacular if it was like $225 but only $200 for current members to add on!
