The VGF 2 pricing thread

[lowlight]

I have a hard time thinking that Boardwalk or other Legacy hotels could be listed for sale higher than VGF.

I think with what we’ve seen with BLT, I’d imagine they are going to pick a different sold out resort every quarter to ROFR and sell at a discount.

I posted a few pages back what the incentives were at opening for current members for Riviera
I'm betting it will be similar. But... we shall see!

Thanks! I went back and found it. I did the math because I’m more of a price per point guy. If I were to add on at Riviera, based on their incentives and the amount of points I want to buy, 175 would have been my sweet spot.

That’s what makes me nervous and keep saving for VGF. If I end up buying, I want to buy at a good point level that allows me to maximize incentives. That may end up being slightly more points than I originally wanted or intended.

I agree, which is why I think so many people are excited about VGF. I wasn’t in DVC when VGF went on sale. CCV and RIV were the two on sale at the time. Fortunately, I really like RIV.

I would have been interested in buying VGF if it were on sale as the promoted property at the time of my buy in. It wasn’t, so it didn’t make sense financially. This is like a 2nd chance for those who missed out.

My guide just told me to keep an open mind! . Not sure what that means!

That's an interesting caveat.

Hmmm, me either. Have you discussed with them your hope for price? Or do you have an April UY?

Trying to think about all it could be. 6 days to go!!!

Nope didn’t discuss price - discussed purchasing BLT and have a March use year so needed to purchase soon to get the extra points but we decided that was not the resort for us. I wanted to look at resorts that have studios that sleep 5 - we already own SSR and AKV for 1 bedrooms- and I guess Grand Floridian fits that but since I passed on BLT she probably knows I wouldn’t pay $255!

Ha…that’s funny. I tend to be pretty closed minded when it comes to spending the level of money associated with DVC.

Interesting for sure. Sounds like some level of a surprise. Could it be price? Could it be not all UYs will get points?

One more statement to try and dissect!! Lol

My guess is Disney is seeing the dismay expressed on various forums that the price may be higher than RIV's.

They're undoubtedly also aware that people are everything from unhappy to outraged by the recent push to charge more for lots less.

We live in interesting times.

 

[Bjaiken77]

One way or the other, I think I can speak for a lot of people and say we can’t wait for this to be over.

Interesting comment. Wonder what it means. At this point with everything going on, if it’s higher than $207 pp, I’m going to wait on DLT. I’ve been on the fence anyway. I’ve been thinking of buying a small DLT add on later, but if VGF is priced too high, I’ll just buy at DLT. Of course people have crazy price predictions for that too (that could be true idk). All that to say DVC is a want not a need. I’ll continue to go on Disney vacations even it I never purchase. For me personally it still needs to be priced right to interest me. I don’t think I’m very open minded about it

I may not end up buying either. It’s too hard to conduct a financial analysis and determine value without a price. I remain hopeful and interested, but I really have no clue what it’s going to be.

Yes, I’m very open to not purchasing. They can either bolster the resale market or give it a direct hit with pricing. At least we will know some of their long term strategy after this.

 

[RoseGold]

Oh boy. Open-minded, eh?

I guess all those kiosks are going to open the people's minds to the possibilities...

I think it will be interesting to have a new element that hasn't been in the DVC pitch in a long time, which is nothing new announced. Maybe they can pitch this as FOMO. Better buy now before we have nothing...

I am still holding firm that I will be happy and adding on the 100 to 125!

Yeah, I think all the waiting has gotten old too, lol. I’m tired of wondering about the details. But I’ve done that to myself by reading this board as a hobby

I like that label better than fixation, attachment or addiction.

That one's for me--it's just a hobby.

I did a REALLY good job of staying off this thread until it got close. Then, all my neurotic tendencies were released

This is a good way to be, and I wish I could be more like you. At 100-125 points, it’s not going to matter a whole lot. And it’ll be my 3rd DVC contract, so I have points. I’m just a sucker for a deal. I keep thinking: What happens if they have a major price break at 200 points? What will I do?
