The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 3.0

Does this LL per stay include attractions like Rise of the Resistance or Radiator Springs Racer? Not that it makes a difference but I’m curious. We have a stay at VGC later this year so I’m glad we can use early entry one last time. But geez, this is a huge bummer. We did utilize early entry during our stays so this will be a downgrade.

Multi-pass rides, not single-pass.

let’s be vocal on this … the Parks people made this decision. I’m willing to bet they didn’t coordinate much with the local Hotel side or DVC leadership. I’ll be contacting all 3 to express my displeasure.

I was on the verge of buying another small direct VGC - holding now after today’s news.

Make sure to tell your guide WHY you are holding off….

Yep, sure did.

I'm waiting for ROFR on a resale VGC contract. Now I'll be less disappointed if it gets taken. DW has already told me that plan B is to save the money and vacation elsewhere if ROFR takes it.

Oh… don’t let our outrage impact you…. owning @ VGC is still fantastic….

Tell me where to vocalize my disapproval. Emails, number?

Yes and there is always a chance this stuff gets walked back or something better comes along too.

I will contact as well. Can you post the contact info you are using?

Guys, they need to save this money for the showerheads.

I know. We already own 160 pts at VGC, and we'll be coming back for many years. I'm trying to add some more points to try and justify keeping my MK instead of grouping multiple trips within the 1 year a MK lasts.

If I replace the showerhead in my next VGC room, would they do anything? A quick little job with a wrench and some teflon tape.

They wouldn’t event notice… I seriously though about it….

Just gotta try to match the color/look.

Do they sell new showerheads that have that worn out look like new jeans? .

I did a google picture search and the current model in our villas was discontinued…. but you could find something very similar.

Of course…I’d rather have the beautiful shower heads with wand that were installed with the Boardwalk refurb….

Is Chapek managing the parks at the Disneyland Resort now?

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

I prefer evening time over morning time at Disneyland. But we still used EE once per trip to get on Radiator Springs Racers. If the LL included that I would be glad because it would mean no getting up early on any day. But as it is, it's a downgrade for my family and damages goodwill.

After thinking on it more... If they don't add some other direct benefit in the next year or two I may sell our VGC contract. Having just a small contract means we don't visit DL that often and would really have liked to use the early entry when we do get to visit. If we had hundreds of points there and went all the time I don't think it would matter as much to me. We don't always use EE at WDW where we have way more points.

If I can still use the same entrance as everyone staying there, can still eat there, etc. then what is the point. I can save enough money by staying next door to pay for LLMP AND LLSP for EVERY DAY and then some! I just don't think this makes sense for Disney to do unless they are planning to add something else back to on site benefits, or are giving up on building their own hotels at DL since they cannot compete with the price of rooms in the surrounding areas. It's just not like WDW where they have a stranglehold on the best areas to stay for their parks
