THAT was/is a great incentive. We didn't need those points but what a great topper to the rest.

When we spoke to our guide last night he said that the Pirate Suite was much more popular than the Mickey Mouse Suite.

Congrats!

Have a great time in the Pirate Suite. I wish I could have that many GCV points.

Welcome Home new members!!

I'm interested to see how quickly VGC will sell out. Any new predictions? I'm thinking by June?
Would love to know how many memberships they've sold to date...

Thanks! We have already picked our night and reserved it. They pretty much had the incentives I was hoping for. We decided to take the ABD trip. I'm really looking forward to that, too!

I asked my guide that today. I can't remember the total # of points sold to date but he did say that 2 million were sold yesterday. He thinks it will sell out by the end of the year.

Yesterday, or as of yesterday? Didn't we calculate that there are only a total of something like 6 million points at VGC?

 

[bethy]

I was told by my guide that there were a million points TOTAL at VGC. But this was a while ago . . . I think it says something like a million in the POS too . . .

 

[tjkraz]

Total points at VGC = 1,136,968.

Give or take...

 

[maburke]

Sorry, I think we calculated 6 million BLT points.

 

[bethy]

Sorry, I think we calculated 6 million BLT points.

Yes, now that you mention it, that could be 2 million for all the combined resorts. That would be pretty darn impressive, even still!

Congrats to all of our new VGC owners!

Thanks, stopher, and everybody. I'm so pleased! I've been looking forward to it for sooooo long, and when they lifted the max on the founders, and then said that current members would not have a chance to buy before the general public, I was so anxious! I've been alternating between guilty peeks at this thread and trying to ignore it since it was started. But now I'm in!!

I think one of the reasons I was nervous about getting a chance to buy before the general public is that there were rumors that some businesses were looking to buy lots of points for perks or executives or whatever. Interestingly, if that was ever true, I think with the economy, now they're less likely to buy than ordinary us. Kind of pleases the populist in me. (But give us all a few weeks to buy what we want, and then the economy can recover and they can get theirs.)
