I feel like I just cheated on our Beloved Lodge

On Saturday I surprised my Dear DH AKA the "Big Guy"
with a add on contract at VGF It was a combination Birthday (a Big 0ne/May 25 ) and Anniversary gift
He has always loved that resort the way WE love the Lodge.

Hello fellow groupies. Anybody thinking about buying into the Grand Floridian?

Hello fellow groupies. Anybody thinking about buying into the Grand Floridian?

Nope, but I'm sure hoping some folks will get rid of their VWL so I can grab a few more points here. (Now, if the Poly comes through with DVC downstream, I'm not sure luv would let us pass that one up. . .)

Hello fellow groupies. Anybody thinking about buying into the Grand Floridian?

It has crossed my mind. Bright, shiny new things do that. But I think I've realized it wouldn't be a must stay for us every trip and that's the only way it makes sense. If we decide we really want to stay we'll try to get in at 7 months and I've gotten every room type at 7 months so I'm not too skittish about it. Or we'll pay cash. With the super duper price/pt the DVC part won't be much, if any, discount for awhile.

Like sleepydog the Poly could be a different story if they do as great of job with it.

Also - last I checked earlier this year DVC wasn't even able to sell in NV currently so I couldn't anyway. Enforced restraint that I probably should thank DVC for.

Hello fellow groupies. Anybody thinking about buying into the Grand Floridian?

Nope. The point chart is ridiculous. A small contract would only get us maybe 3 nights every 2-3 yrs. in a studio during the times we normally travel. No thank you. I too am holding out for the Poly & hoping for the best.

Seriously! You & I have been chillaxin' on the waitlist for way too long now. I don't remember is we're waiting on the same UY or not. I'm waiting for April.

Teapot - congratulations on your add-on!

We did! A surprise Birthday/Anniversary gift for the Big Guy

Thanks Horselover
It's a small contract enough for DH and I to stay 2-3 nights in a studio.
Our Family trips include 7 adults now
so we often come down a little before or after the kids arrive/leave.

The Poly would definitely get my attention depending on the points charts

That or, we may finally get one of our Epcot resorts when people start buying up VGF or Poly and selling off points

Sounds like you bought a similar contract to what we briefly considered. My DH hates split stays so a couple nights at VGF & then having to move somewhere else just doesn't appeal to him. I have no doubt you'll love your stays there. The pictures look so beautiful.

Since 1 March for us, though we are a Feb UY (50 pts). Called our guide last week and found out exactly what I already knew: there virtually has been no movement since we got on the list. So very few VWL contracts out there to begin with and Feb UY, while not the most popular, likely is one of the top three. But, we're patient and figure something will pop up once fall rolls around. We got on the waitlist for points well before the recent price increase, and our guide assures us we'll get the old pricing. Of course, at this rate, it could be Poly is a reality before a VWL contract shows up for us.

 

[Kathymford]

I'll admit it. I SOOOOO want to do an add-on there. But I don't think a 25 point add on will do me much good there. LOL. I will settle trying to get one or two nights there during my Dec trip.

DBF isn't as enamored with the Grand Floridian as I am anyway (I feel so fancy there!!). The Lodge and Grand California is more our style.

Hello fellow groupies. Anybody thinking about buying into the Grand Floridian?

Not a chance - Although it's beautiful, I'm best off just visiting the resort as there are just too many details that remind me of my nana's home. Not that that's bad, but I'd be too afraid of touching anything and breaking it Not my way to relax.

I will have a thousand pictures, for sure! Now, can I figure out how to get them up here? I have the physical body of a 46 year old, the maturity of a 14 year old, and the technological ability of a 98 year old!

Oh, how exciting! I'll admit, I'm a little intrigued.... but honestly don't know what we'd do with more points.

Enjoy your new points and ownership. GF is a beautiful resort and one that I always enjoy visiting during the Christmas Holiday season. Congratulations! What a great gift!
