The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners Group

When I signed Wed. night the signing agent indicated that closings can't occur until the "final" public report is approved. So may be as late as May.

I think my new paperwork has an estimated closing of May 30th.

...and speaking of the final public report, did anyone notice that the conditional time-share public report (page8) has the dedicated 2BR listed as having 2baths?

Is it an error?

shouldn't it have 2 baths? (or should it have 3?)

Well the 1 BR has 2 baths, so it should be 3, shouldn't it?

We just got our revised paperwork today and our "estimated" closing date is May 18th... obviously it can change, but I found that interesting since you revised your purchase too. Maybe it's a mistake on ours, I don't know.

Hmmm- I'll double-check mine when I get home. Maybe I remembered wrong; just got the papers last night and I've only thumbed through them so far...

woohoo!!!! Just got home from having our VGC contract notarized and fedexed back to Disney!! Now we just need to wait for our cruise voucher!!!!

closing date sometime in the first week of May. great timing for the 7month window to book christmas time at the world and Wonder 6th or 13th...if still available

Our closing date was supposed to be March 15th. We are all in waiting mode until that final report is approved and we sign saying we reviewed and approved it. QA told me a few weeks ago that we can still book in June, your trip just has to be after when our point take effect (I think that is November but didn't ask since we have a Dec UY and no trip plans for awhile. The important thing is that we all got our points.

Got our papers via FEDEX today! Woo Hoo! We won't get around to seeing the notary until next Thursday, but we are at least on our way to ownershipat VGC!

Now, when will I get that canvas DVC bag? HA!

Now, when will I get that canvas DVC bag?

I'm sorry to say they don't include them anymore for add-ons. The bags use to come in the FEDEX package.

 

[toocherie]

I got a canvas bag with my first VGC add-on in January--but didn't get one this time.

MY guide said they had nada, zip, nothing to give me and I know I finished signing before you did that day! I couldn't even get a pen or sticker out of her. Ah - resale where they still appreciate you!

 

[ACDSNY]

We didn't get anything with our GCV add-on either.

 

[wideeyedwonder]

We had originally bought points at GCV (our first DVC ourchase) right before the late March 'event'. We recieved a big FedEx box, which I assumed contained the contracts, but by then, we had asked our guide to re-contract us for more points with the new incentives ($8+$8/point discount).

Seeing as we were going to be getting new contracts (our guide had said 'destroy the first set we sent you'), I just temporarily threw the FedEx box into the garage. A week later (yesterday), we get our new contracts; however, the package is much smaller. I start wondering what was in the original package that was causing it to be so big?

The answer...our "unlock the secret" DVC materials, and a canvas DVC member bag.

And to think that both of them would have sat in the garage until I was ready to start booking a vacation (and realized I was 'missing' the information package).

 

[nunzia]

I bought my first DVC resale then added on VGC..never got a DVC tote bag at all...I guess there's always Ebay if I get desperate!

 

[stopher1]

We only got a canvas tote bag with our original purchase, neither of our add-ons.

Just signed all those documents and dropped off the Fedex package for pickup today!

We actually got two sets of documents this week which was a little confusing. The first set came on Thursday and when I called Quality Assurance they told me that those docs and those contract numbers had been voided and that another set was sent and they would arrive the next day which they did. So my .001 and .002 contracts no longer exist and I skippped right to .003 and .004. This was all because of the new incentives which came out after we orginally agreed to purchase changing our discount from $5 off per point to $8 off per point.

So now now we've got two 50 point contracts in Unit 6 of the GCV!! But, waiting until May 16 to close and then waiting some more for the cruise voucher to arrive is going to be very difficult!

It should be 3 for both dedicated and lockoffs. How odd they would only have 2 in the public report document. Obviously, the model has 3, but if it says 2 in the public report, does that mean that 2 is all Disney has to to deliver?

that would be my suspicion--that they were leaving themselves some wiggle room. Don't the new AKV Kidani units also have 3 bathrooms? Wonder what those docs say?

I went to DLR and signed my paperwork today. IIRC my closing date is May 11th. I can now make my ABD reservations. Am now just waiting on my AP and RCI vouchers.
