Imma practically live in that place...LOL.
For those of us on the West Coast, and who don't get any real benefit from a WDW AP, this is great news. I'd take a local lounge over a WDW AP any day of the week.
I am so excited. With more frequents to DL than WDW, we sure would use this
YAY!!!!!!
I would absolutely love it if you're right. I was expecting to be in the range of $250 pp so I'd be thrilled if it is sub $220 for 150-200 points.
Absolutely an excellent point that the state of the economy should have a bearing on what they end up charging. If it does end up being sub $200pp, I'll certainly have an easier time of convincing my husband that it is more than just a "nice to have".If the less than awesome economy continues on it's current path my estimate at this time is a discount price in the 180 to 190 a point price for 200 points. I'm sure Disney would love to charge us way more and were forecasting at 220 to 230 a point when they started the project but economic reality does have a vote
I am hoping for a large contract. I would really like to stop paying rack rates on my visits.
I can't remember the OG poster and I wish I could so I could thank them. Their advise of booking a lightning lane for Grizzly and heading over from the pool was INCREDIBLE! threw a pair of shorts over my swimsuit and took my son in his rash guard and swim shorts from the pool, got soaked on grizzly and made a bee line for the spa afterwards. THAT is pretty tough to beat
I think we might be the exception. We stayed in 1 BR villa at VGC on our last trip and weren't that impressed. It was almost impossible to get a chair at the pool too. We definitely prefer the Disneyland Hotel.
The economy was in the thick of the Great Recession when VGC and BLT hit the market and both resorts sold out in just 1.5 and 3 years respectively. I’m not sure if a “possible“ recession will have any impact to VDH pricing sometime next year. My guess is $215pp base with VGF2 like incentives.If the less than awesome economy continues on it's current path my estimate at this time is a discount price in the 180 to 190 a point price for 200 points.

no you aren't alone! while the lobby was indeed grand and I did think the room was nicer, the pool was AWFUL! chaotic and frankly trashy. no chairs, cups everywhere floating in the water, trash left behind. I was pretty shocked.
Really cool and unique perspective. Love it and thanks for sharing!
