There's many reasons....VDH and no VGC?
Why limit yourself my fellow Best Coast Lovers? Currently VDH is so much more chill. Also a good place to sabbatical during the hard goods upgrade this year. But come 2025, don't you wanna be part of the first to break in the new furniture at VGC.
We're fairly new to DVC.....VGC is sold out direct.
We've got 800+ points at VDH. If VGC was selling direct at the same price we bought in at VDH, we might have bought in there.....VDH is also nice and new, and VCG rooms are looking....well....old and busted. Even after the refresh, the rooms are still likely to be dark, and not very Disney (which is fine, but we like Disney). VDH rooms are very bright, lots of Disney. Our kids also love the pools better at DLH, and Trader Sam's is right there.
We typically go for 19-22 days a year to the DLR in a 1 or 2 BR. How many points/cost would that be resale at $350 (average) a point, vs what we bought in for at VDH to go that many days in a 1 or 2 BR villa.
TOT argument is meaningless to us. We were previously paying cash for 2 BR at the DLH and paying the TOT taxes there. TOT taxes at VDH are actually less than the TOT taxes on the same room at the DLH.
We're getting older and so are the kids, we want to travel now, not have to wait and buy contract after contract at VGC to get enough points that we need for 19-22 days a year at DLR in what would have to be a 1BR or smaller as we would not be able to buy as many points due to the higher resale cost per point.
We're watching the VDH resale as well, soon as it hits $150 a point we're jumping in to add on some more.
