VDH Questions for Purchasing

[Girlstar30]

There is also plenty of seating on the terrace of Starview Station Lounge. Even though I have MMB, there was a wait for indoor seating, and I had lunch with me, so I had a lovely lunch on the terrace just over a week ago. And I love getting free cokes in the lounge.

Yes they told us about this! We always prefer the nice chairs inside, by this i mean no plastic chairs or high tops because they do have those in there, but I appreciate that they ask us if this is okay and we always say we will wait for the lower chairs.

We did get greedy and ask if they would change the dvc trivia tv to the super bowl , but they are only allowed to play dvc stuff

They let you bring in outside food to eat in the lounge? That's a really nice perk if so lol

Yes they do, and sometimes they'll offer to take the tray back to the restaurants.

I just met with a guide in Aulani, and I'm giving it a shot of buying VDH. I'm curious if the incentives will be better tomorrow, but at least I'm locked into today's deal. Also, there is a $1000 incentive when purchasing while on vacation in Aulani.

Yes, DL70, D23, Magical Beginnings; they all stack. Well, Magical Beginnings is a rebate check after final payment and closing.

The front desk at vdh is officially super annoying to me. The lack of training and professionalism compared to the CM's in the Fantasy Tower is painfully obvious, you would think they would be top notch to sell more points.

They once again do not know how to process a simple gift card and they do not know where their limited time merchandise is and are super unhelpful about delivery options. When walking over to the Fantasy Tower you would get much more professional service, correct information, and an offer to deliver.

I mentioned this in the survey because I think its easy fixes and ridiculous that CM's dont know how to process an acceptable method of payment. "I just started my work shift" is not a valid excuse and certainly something i wouldnt expect to hear at the Fantasy tower.

I also think someone should be in the building at all times whether it be front desk or security. At night there is no one there, ever.

Unrelated, but the breakfast at the Coffee house quick service is disgusting. Tried the breakfast sandwich and burrito and threw them both away. Obvious that the eggs are powder. This is a beautiful, historic resort and they need to do better in these regards.

I hate to complain, but we are paying tot and dues higher than vgc and we are not getting the same customer service on the cash side or at vgc or the same quality. I am sending these concerns to the gm.

Obviously still love the resort and no regrets on my purchase, but they need to know what owners concerns are. If this was my first stay i probably wouldnt have purchased here.

Yeah there is, we bought 150 DLH and 100 Poly direct when on vacation over new years there. Saving an extra $1000 on DLH and $500 on Poly put us over the top on top of the D23 and 70th incentives, etc. Have to be staying on property when signing and the promotion ends today. We now have to sell 150 Poly in a different use year but we will not match our use year on that and have 375 points at Poly (100 direct) and 456 at DLH all direct.

Man, def a good way to sell more points while people are all happy in Hawaii!

Oh it worked on us. We wouldn’t have bought without the extra incentive. Poly the extra $5 per point along with the impending $8 price increase and the fact that we really wanted to match our Feb use year and having decide that we only wanted 100 points there when selling the 150 Dec contract. It also allows us to occasionally have some cabin points out of those 100. The Disneyland is a straight add on for near what it was when we bought 306 in the spring Sale last year that was good for larger point buys. We decided we wanted more direct for a 2 bedroom summer week and to use as direct sleep around for Lakeshore. We wouldn’t have bought DLH with only the $3 price increase without that $1000. It was just enough to push us over, lol.

With an extra 1k I would have gone poly most likely. The poly incentives are so weak that I would have seen that as my chance. Now ill most likely get poly thru resale.

No regrets on my vdh purchase and happy that imo the incentives are pretty strong there however.

But im with you I would have bought with no question, well I did without that boost
