Self-parking is free for guests staying on points (normal rate is $20/night), lot is across Disneyland Drive from GCH. Valet parking is not free (or even discounted), $30/night....What is the parking situation? Do DVC members pay for parking and if so what is the rate?
Correct, the renovation has eliminated DVD players. It might be possible to request a player from Guest Services.If I remember reading right VGC does not have DVD players in the rooms anymore.
A mobile device could stream a movie, and output with an HDMI cable to the TV -- some sort of adapter would likely be needed. The TVs are not connected to the internet (at least on my last visit), so they cannot directly stream movies....Are there any options if we wanted to watch movies in the room?
VGC guests receive the same benefits as GCH guests, and you may participate in all hotel activities. Unlike some WDW DVC resorts, VGC does not have any dedicated services (registration, pools...) everything is shared with GCH.If you are staying at VGC can you participate in all the activities that the GC has?
We just passed ROFR today and will soon be calling VGC home! Thank you to everyone on this thread and those who posted on the purchase thread for all of your advice!

New VGC owner! Just waiting for our DVC account (deed was recorded on 9/1). We stayed in 5506, a 2 bedroom with an amazing view, 4 years ago and it was the best disney vacation we've ever had! We plan to stay in 1 bedrooms with our points though. Are the trees really high, covering the park view now?
Our contract was loaded with points expiring in May, before we can really use them. I'm debating between just renting them out as soon as I can, or try wait-listing for 10/3 (a halloween party night)? We'd take any size. Do you think that's unlikely to come through?

Congratulations to you!
I don't think your chances will be very good with a wait list in October. When we got our contract to VGC it also came loaded with past points and we had already booked our next vacation with cash. So, we rented through David's and had them rented out in two weeks. I got enough rental $ to cover about 70% of our cash stay.
Wow! What does that mean? People aren't wanting to go to VGC? Or does your point amount have to match exactly?I wish I was having that kind of success with David's. Mine have been listed for TWO MONTHS and nothing! I had BLT points and they rented those out in a couple of weeks, but not my VGC points.

If you put them in David's, can you still try to rent them out yourself elsewhere while you wait?
You will struggle for a studio, maybe a 1 bedroom if your online first thing.
