The VGF 2 pricing thread

The luggage set is now no longer available.

Bought yesterday but didn‘t get my docs til today. A couple things:

1. I saw a line in there that sort of looked like a resale use restriction. Has anyone else seen this? This may be standard and I am not familiar with the resale restriction language on RIV. Anyone know?

2. I asked them to not include the title insurance per comments on the board but I see it anyway. It is optional, correct? Major downside to turning it down (if I can) since I’m buying direct anyway?

Quick question.

The luggage set is now no longer available.

Just curious how you found out?

My guide finally got around to promoting it.

“The time is here! We’re so excited to announce the sale of The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa beginning today!

As the crown jewel of Disney Vacation Club, this beloved Resort offers relaxing stays in accommodations featuring a harmonious blend of Victorian elegance and modern comforts.”

They are excited to say the least.

Crown Jewel? Man poly and grand cal are both better

Just curious how you found out?

It’s on the DVC website if you navigate to the Grand Floridian page after clicking on special offers. I wanted to get more information on exactly what the luggage set was, since after buying yesterday I’m going to be receiving it, and if you click on the little picture of the luggage set an announcement comes up saying that it’s no longer available.

I think you’ll find that there are a lot of folks who might disagree with you.

It's ok they are allowed to be wrong. The Grand Floridian is nothing special these days. Maybe it was wow back in the 80s, but even Riviera is nicer. Top 4 or 5 maybe?

If Disney will take my money for 200 VGF points how much should I expect in closing costs?
I’m thinking about either 4 x 50 contracts or 2 x 75 + 1 x 50 maybe even 2 x 100.
I already have the blue card so no need for doing 1 x 150 plus 1x50.

I am considering this myself so I used the add-on tool to find the prices. (The final cost won’t be correct, because it won’t take into account the incentives that you qualify for at 200.) The closing cost difference is minimal, but each contract has a $250 doc preparation fee.

Thanks a lot.
I don’t have access the to tool so I can’t use it but this is very help full.

 

[Cyberc1978]

Btw have anyone gotten a discount or similar on the documents preparation fee? I mean printing 4 of the same documents shouldn’t cost $1,000

Glad I could help!
(I apologize if it came off like I was saying you could’ve done it yourself. I was just wanting to let you to know how I figured it. )

Typical doc prep is more complex but it is obnoxious to add on something that long ago used to be included in the price (reference hotel parking and Genie+).

When I asked about 3 - 100 point contracts, it was going to be a difference of a little over $500 (extra $250 each plus minimal difference in closing cost) versus 1 - 300 point contract.
When I said that extra $500 made it so the price was above my budget (paying cash), they offered to extend payments out over 60 days but couldn’t change the fees.

Still waiting on my docs since calling mid day on Thursday. Anybody else still waiting for docs from a day one call?

At this point should I expect anything over the weekend or will it be Monday?

I got mine *late* yesterday after depositing Thursday after dinner time. I would assume the only other variables that might change things would be financing options or fixed week stuff which might take more processing

True. Do they send out docs on the weekend? I bought yesterday afternoon and I have been stalking my inbox after my guide said I would get the email the same day.

I bought AKL to get 2021 points (December use year) and used my Disney card to make the deposit and I haven’t seen a hold or gotten documents yet. I bought at 1030am yesterday and then at 1215 asked to have the points at Jambo house not Kidani like my other points. I haven’t felt like this since I was waiting for ROFR, or points loading, LOL.

I hear ya! I spoke to my guide first thing Thursday morning, but my phone dropped the call and I wasn’t able to get back in touch with him until the end of the day. He was finalizing everything (already had my credit card information) when he realized there was a problem and it wouldn’t actually create the contracts.
(I wanted 3 - 100 point contracts with my husband’s name included. It’s considered a new membership since his name isn’t on the current one, so one had to be at least 150. I wanted equal contracts because I have 3 kids. Between that and the fact that I wouldn’t be getting 2021 points as hoped, I told him I needed to think about it before I decided if I wanted equal contracts or my husband on the membership.)
But, he was off yesterday and today! I’m hoping today doesn’t seem to drag on like yesterday did!
