The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners Group

... thought it would be fun to buy a paver we could visit each time! ...

Are these still available for sale? From what some people said it sounds like they might not be???

 

[kerickson]

I sent an email to the team handling the pavers and received this response, so it does look like they are still available:

Does anyone know the exact cost of the bricks?? I'm thinking of purchasing one for the family too

Per the link I found and posted above, its $150 plus tax for the paver, then extra costs if you want an acrylic or wooden replica... AP holders get a 10% discount.

I didn't know that you could still do those pavers. I am going to get me one of those as soon as I can figure out what to put on it. (which means I will probably never do it as I will want something "perfect" cuz it will be there forever!)

I've already been laying out a few options...wonder if they'd let us put any reference to VGC? Sounds like they are pretty strict in limiting it to names and dates...

Well not quite forever...but at least 15 years. I think on our paperwork they only guaranteed us 15 years...I wonder if they'll pull them out after the 15 years are up? I guess I'll find out in 2020. One of my Aunt's did one too and they're right next to ours, in area C37.

One of my good friends from Arizona has a paver for her family--every trip she has to go and take a picture of it!!!!

So....I wonder if in 15 years they don't just ask for another payment to keep it in place for another 15 years. Either way I'm calling tomorrow to get more info.

We have two...one for our immediate family and one for my extended family. We had them put in during the Disneyland 50th and I had 25 family members on our Nov 2005 DL trip.

We have one with our wedding date with the bell design and that was in
2000. We plan on getting one more with the kids name after we have our 2nd child! There alot of fun to try and find and see your name on the ground!

I think DW & I might buy a paver as soon as we purchase @ VGC. Hopefully there will be some available at the end of March...

I received a response back from Disney regarding the pavers and a .pdf flyer. PM me with your email if you are interested in the details. The summary is that they are still selling them and the next installation date is Aug 09.

Were you able to find out if you could have a VGC reference on your paver? That would be so cool!

I haven't specifically asked about VGC, but I believe the answer will be no. The application states:
...If this application is accepted, in Disney's sole discretion, Disney will arrange for name(s), date, city, state or country contained in the inscription on the reverse side of this application to be placed on the stone. No other information, including, without limitation, memorials, slogans, salutations, company, entity, association or group names may be included on the stone.

Maybe we could add some family members. Like Victor, Gloria and Carl...or....Vincent, George and Carol....or....Vivian, Ginger and Carla....or....Vicky, Georgia and Cameron. There's gotta be someway to get VGC on there.

We just bought 150! Wow, our 4th contract...now I need to unload something.

We could all be from Grand Villas, California

You are making me laugh (and tempting me to prevaricate). Any expecting mothers out there. You could name the new one VeeGeeCee.

Good thought, but if there isn't that place, no go. A bunch on my freinds all went..we call ourselves The Girlz (long story) anyway..they all wanted a stone and danced around alot trying to find a way to get that on there..Girlz Trip..etc..The CM was very nice, but there is no budging the rules (and I can certainly see why..can you imagine the things people would put on there?) anyway, girlz is no where for a name so it was finally settled and our stone says Girls Family..I guess Girls is an official last name or something. BTW..how long are the ones in WDW supposed to be in place? We put in one many years ago and have never seen it and would love to (if I can find the paper telling me where it is!)
