I'm sure this has been well covered, but when does VGC open up for bookings?

You can start calling MS starting on ________ (insert date) to make reservations for stays beginning on ________ (insert date).

I believe that it will be available June 6th for bookings.

So a person can start calling on June 6th to make reservations starting when?

we just bought over the weekend, that's a question I'm trying to answer as well.

I recently went on a tour, and at the very bottom of the VCG point chart my tour guide gave me, in very tiny print, it says:

"This Vacation Point chart is effective from the Resort opening date, currently scheduled to be fall 2009, through December 31, 2009. Reservations scheduled to start in summer 2009 for stays scheduled to begin in fall 2009."

I was just hoping that from when the chart was printed to now, more concrete dates have been set. (If that makes sense? )

If we say the right date are you buying?

I'm thinking the exact date hasn't been determined, but is still estimated to be November'ish,pending construction completion schedule. But I'm just saying that based on what I've read on boards, as I don't have any actual paperwork in front of me. I just about got my DH to agree to buy in and now I can't get ahold of my guide. Figures. Got to lock something in before common sense hits.

Can you still get that incentive that had offered last weekend that gives you three days at GCH? That would work for your October vaca....

I read it was opening on Nov 30, 2009.

The VGC Owners thread quotes DVC Quality Assurance confirming June 7th is the first day to make reservations for a Nov 30th opening. As we saw with BLT, dates can change, but that's the current communication from DVC.

Haha, probably not......I'm just dreaming.

I can tell my hubby wants to buy, but at the same time he doesn't. I think he would do it if the initial required buy in (160 points) was lower, so he could buy in a little at a time.

We're not going in October anymore. My hubby felt it could clash with his business a bit, since October is the last "push" month before appraisals trickle off for the holidays. Now we're going mid November......but I haven't told anyone yet.

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like you need to organize a November/early December trip around the opening of VGC to use your new points! With that extra money your DH makes in October (since you're not going to DL then), getting 160 points makes a lot of sense. You've been waiting for VGC to go on sale for so long. Come on!!

disney-super-mom - yeah, come on, you know you need those VGC points! At least you're getting a better deal than us Founding Members.
