The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners Group

[KAT4DISNEY]

These are hotel rooms located in the VGC wing: 1500, 1503, 1511, 1513, 2503, 3503, 4503, 5503.
The interior layout of those rooms are like a normal GC hotel room, not the studio layout with wet bar.

There are detailed floorplans for all the units in the "Condominium Plan for the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel a Leasehold Condominium"

I added up the .PDF file, and those all seem to be HOTEL rooms, as a PP also said. Assuming that is the case, there are 32 units forming 23 2 Bedroom lockoffs, 23 2BR dedicateds, and 2 GVs, as have been published previously. I too am a little surprised about those adjacent hotel rooms, but not shocked and they never said DVC would have a fully isolated wing... What did throw me briefly was seeing units 18 & 20 duplicated on the 5th floor, but then I went DUH- the GVs!

Anyone have the max reallocation numbers handy? My POS is at home so I can't look them up a the moment to calculate a total number of points again based on them just for fun, and compare the count for my unit 3A (rooms 1508 & 1510- need to get doorknob pictures in October... ) to my 0.221% / 50 point ownership and see how closely the theoretical tracks.

Thanks nonsuch and DVCGeek! That is what I figured but was hoping someone else knew so I didn't have to try and count out all the units. I'm not completely surprised, but then again am a little. It would have made a lot of sense, in my own little mind, to have the whole wing DVC.

I can confirm that the view of the projections from 4500 is poor in that almost all of the projections are blocked. And what's not blocked is too obtuse to be seen.

What are the views blocked by? Foliage? Park equipment?

I'm trying to visualize and figure out why the 6500, 5500, and 4500 would be bad views.

Are there some pictures posted from your 4500 that I can refer to?

Thanks!

It really would be nice if Nonsuch can indicate on the floor plan you made which are hotel rooms and which ones are DVC villas.

I can't believe it, but I finally talked DH into a 50 point add-on. I made the call tonight!!! I never thought he'd agree. I have wanted to own at VGC since it was announced... went to the initial event, and ended up buying AKV (which we already loved, knew it was a great choice for our family at a great price). After our stay at VGC this February, I was sooooooo in love.

So the webcast finally convinced me to push DH just a little. I'm so excited!!!!!!!

Congrats and Welcome to the group! Watch out addonitis may hit again. We did our initial add on when they first went on sale and another one the end of Dec.

Thanks for the color coded floor plan Nonsuch.

Nonsuch that map is awesome THANK YOU!

I haven't been able to read up on my thread for a couple of weeks and now that I have caught, let me just say WELCOME HOME to all you new VGC owners!

All this WOC talk is making me want to take a quick trip down south. But since this year we're planning on our first trip to the World, the next VGC trip will be until June 2011. So please keep those great pics coming

What is the percentage of sold VGC as of late?

Nonsuch you are awesome!

I don't know if there is anyone making a list of all the room numbers and what their views are, etc. Thought I would let you know ours, though.

#2510, partial view of paradise pier. We can see exactly half of Mickey's Fun Wheel, and then all the Mulholland Madness side of things. None of the 510 rooms would be a room to watch the light show from, as the end of the building blocks most of the bay.

The sound is just fine, though. With the doors closed we hardly hear a thing.

That would be suck to get the X510 rooms then. Do you have picture of the view Bunless?

nonsuch--awesome map!

The view of the water screens that they use during the show that has video playing on it(similar to Fantasmic but more high definition) are blocked by the Zephyr.

That picture is from the viewing platform that is right next door to xx00 rooms. Move a couple rooms over and you should be able to see the video, which is important since it moves along the story.

Having said that, I'll still take that view at night, better than most at the DLR.

NOW I see! Thanks very much for the explanation and, especially for the picture; pictures really are "worth a thousand words!"

 

[SoCalKDG]

Then try this video. Makes me want just about any park view.

Someone should start a room inventory database, recording which room has what view and such.

 

[Meriweather]

Here for our first visit. Waited a long time for this.
Love, love the rooms. DH is so impressed with the decor and wood work (he is a woodworker).
1st floor so no view, a fence, some trees and the tops of a couple of rides.
Wish there was a check-in for DVC, yesterday was a bit of a wait.
No info in room about anything connected to DVC....kind of surprised after all our WDW trips.

Cold last night but loved seeing the Electic Light parade again.

Some rain today. Crowds should be really down today. How does the new Paradise Park look since they just opened it up? Enjoy yourself. 10 minutes down the road right now working here at my computer.

It rained a bit in the morning.....we got a lot of rides done at Disneyland.
Not sure what Paradise Park is We only looked around a bit a CA yesterday. I must have missed it.

It's the new viewing area built for WOC, and concerts right at the lagoon's edge. There is also a water play area.
