The Official VILLAS at DISNEYLAND HOTEL (Discovery Tower) Owners and Fans Info Thread

Well it's looking like our first use of VDH points is going to be at WDW not DL. With our next trip coming up in Jan/Feb we had a VDH stay most likely in mid-2025 as our next one.

However our older daughter is currently planning a Disney wedding for late next year and WDW has far more options than DL. With staying at AKV & VGF earlier in the year our points for both of these will need to be supplemented with VDH points.

On the plus side, no occupancy taxes :)

Nothing wrong with having flexibility. Congrats!
 
Maybe you all already know about this, but don’t forget to get your photo taken to be part of the VDH mosaic which will be unveiled at opening. This is for all DVC members I believe, not just owners.

Heading down to DLR this Thursday so we plan on getting our photo taken on the last day at Star View Station. Deadline is 8/18.
We didn’t know..thanks! We went today just to try it out.image_0.jpeg
 
Hey DISboards Friends! The countdown is on to the grand opening of VDH and Amy and I will be there opening weekend. 🥳

We’re planning to get as much content as possible to share with you on DVC Fan and explore every inch of this new property.

Currently we have arrangements to film a deluxe and duo studio, but if anyone has any 1br, 2br, or Grand Villas that weekend and wouldn’t mind us filming and getting pictures of them please shoot me a message. We’d love to share as much as possible about this new resort.

Look forward to seeing some of you there!

Ours is a standard studio, happy to host a walk through but sounds like the studio is already covered :)

I have a deluxe studio for Sep 29-Oct 1. Happy to help if needed!
 
Bored. Finishing up packing kidos off for university. In a holding pattern while I wait for stuff. Came across this on the DVC member's site. Wish I was going to be in Disneyland to take advantage of this. Someone let me know if you get to experience this and how was it.
