VDH Questions for Purchasing

[DisneyFanSea]

I hate analysis paralysis…. VDH… PVB.
The answer, atleast in my mind, is always both.

Does the hotel have dedicated 2 bedrooms or are they all lockoffs?

Was just looking at p0int charts, are all 1 & 2bdrm villas preferred view??

That’s correct.
See this post regarding the floor plans below.

Only studios facing away from the pools or DLH common areas are standard view.

My 2 cents…


I’m still somewhat in that group, but I do see the potential to love it!



Then VDH is the answer.



This!!
VDH is the answer.



VDH is the answer.



VDH is the answer!!



True. You really can’t go wrong either way, but… VDH is the answer.

Geez. You nearly talked me into buying some more. I hope I don't buy another contract when I'm there for my birthday in a couple months. Maybe I should change my reservation to the Best Western.

This has so much truth to it that it hurts. Bought my latest VDH contract on the Disney Treasure while celebrating my birthday last week.

all are preferred views but some are better views than others. we had room 1200 last trip (2br) and 701 the trip before, 701 overlooks the Villas pool and the neighborhood beyond, 1200 you can see cars land and the fireworks at night. no difference in points.

Does the one bedroom have two bathrooms? Are there any views in the one bedroom or is it also terrible?

The resort thread has maps and diagrams and can answer the bathroom question. I haven't seen or stayed in a 1BR (yet). 2BR does have 3 Baths. all the units on the monorail side, especially higher floors, will have decent views.

there are some lock offs on that side but the tower is a bit studio heavy (due to shorter general duration of guest stays at DLR)

I almost talked myself into it!!
My main issue is I couldn’t buy 150 direct, but I wouldn’t mind having sole direct points, but buying 50 seems like a waste. Otherwise I’d probably already own some VDH.

Just got back from a two day stay at VDH, and I must say I have no regrets as a local, buying there. I am averaging 8 trips a year with my points at VDH and 3 trips at VGC. Typically, I stay in Preferred Deluxe Studios at VDH and have had very little issues booking. I even booked this two night stay as I saw availability pop up last week. I don't think that is normal though, I think the flu must be disrupting some people's travel plans. Anyway, we have been able to get our Disney Therapy in the last few very stressful years and if in the future we do not need to come as frequently, we will try for the larger rooms which eat up the points fairly quickly. I will say even with all the cutting back Disney has been doing our stays have remained Magical.

Love this hotel! The vibes walking around the resort are so lovely. The 1 bedroom is so nice I just wish i could live in one. For people who need a balcony it’s good to point out that deluxe studios don’t have balconies at VDH (except the garden units). A huge portion of preferred views look out onto the Anaheim neighborhood and are less than preferred in most people’s opinion. I love that both VDH and VGC have the bonus bathrooms like Kidani, BLT and the new Poly tower. Too bad they didn’t do that at Riviera. I still prefer VGC because of the proximity and the epic lobby but VDH is awesome.

Don't even think about bringing up a FW either.

That’s usually my job
