We have every year at Westin Maui and need more VGC points to enjoy DLR more often .

Timeshare weeks are addictive .

Hi denise! Turns out that point transfer we did with you was not enough

Rather than paying to use someone elses points every year, we are now going to add on and 60 seems to be what we are missing each year. I am in LOVE with VGC and Aulani. Probably best to stay away from the Westin Maui so I don't find another addiction though I hear it is amazing.

Yes, it's all Denise's fault we've found another addiction. I was leaning more towards Marriott's until they went to the point system and now I want the Westin Maui or Kauai.

Thanks! I guess that nixes our plans for using point Thanks for the quick reply. Someday I'll figure out how to do a screen shot like that!

you can use direct purchase points to stay at DLH or PP..at really high rates! (probably better to use cash, but still) They also had announced that points could be used at VGC hotel rooms sometime this year, but I don't know when that's set to begin.

We recently returned from a 8 night stay at VGC in a 1 bedroom. We had such a wonderful time and loved the spaciousness of a 1 BR unit. I think I'm officially spoiled!
We were in 5514 which had a fantastic view of Grizzly Peak and The Tower of Terror.

We loved every second!

I believe it is for stays starting in September.

We were three floors below you in a 2Bed Jan 28-30. I love every minute in the villas

I own Westin Rancho Mirage. Used to love it but not as much anymore.

Have a great time and have a strawberry for me!

Is that due to Westin or the resort itself?

I like the south-facing view over Paradise Pier and WOC. You'll have a sideways view of WOC, but you can hear pretty well; you'll just miss out on the water screens. But nothing beats walking out onto your balcony right when the show is starting. No standing around for two hours in a sea of humanity.

Our waitlist for the final night of our trip came through! We were able to get a studio for 5/13.

So what would be the best studio for a WoC view?

6504 has the best WOC view, and the 2 sided balcony gives a great overall view
The other studios with WOC views are: 5504, 4504, 3504

Nonsuch, are you the one that made that awesome PDF schematic of the VGC layout over in the DL superthread? If so, you should put a link to that post in your signature so people can always go right to it.

Thanks for the compliment. I created floor by floor maps for VGC and have previously posted them to this thread (and others).

Links to the maps are in my new signature
