That’s true, but as more points get sold, more inventory will get released for DVC. Last report was they’ll need to declare more units when they sell about 90K more points (probably a bit lower than that now as that was last month). Sometime in the next 3-4 months they’ll hit that and have to declare more inventory for DVC.
Where can one find the direct sales figures?
More inventory, but mostly studio inventory…. there just aren’t a lot of villas….
Yes, as the bastard step child to GCV it does have less villas, but more villas will be declared as more points are sold (the point I was trying to make).
There’s another thread in the purchasing DVC forum where another member is tracking sales as recorded by Orange County.
Having stayed there in a studio and a 1BD, I’d venture that I have more experience at the property than most owners….Yes, as the bastard step child to GCV it does have less villas, but more villas will be declared as more points are sold (the point I was trying to make).
Now, you VDH haters who don’t own there go somewhere else.
The Orange slide is closed and will remain closed for probably a few months. Everything else is open
Thank you— it’s surprisingly confusing because Disney refers to it as the red monorail in some places…and I thought it was supposed to reopen by now, but I will plan for it to be closed as it’s still states it is closed on the website. One of the “planDisney” people suggests that Disney is allowing DLH guests access to the Pixar Pier pool, but that info isn’t always accurate and I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle of schlepping over there.
900ish points at VDH. We’ve got 2 stays in a one BR, one stay in a 2BR, one stay in a Studio. 1 more stay booked already in the next 5 months, one in 11 months, and looking at squeezing in a third in the next 7 , so we’ve got some experience there as well as owners.
Right, but I don’t recall anyone telling you to “go somewhere else”.
Can’t comment on WDW, but DLR resort this past year was fairly busy between Xmas and new years, a bit lighter after new years.
Here’s my gripe….its the VDH owners and fans group. Not the owners/fans and haters group. If you don’t like the resort (and I don’t mean you specifically), why come in here to rain on the parade of people/owners here who enjoy it? I don’t go into the owners/fans of the grand California group and talk about how old and busted and dark the rooms are there with almost no Disney theming. Or complain about the lack of inventory there ( isn’t it 23 of each room type) and difficulty booking there at 7 months.
Thanks. We decided to stick with WDW this year. Will see how we navigate DLR this summer and then decide during the home booking window for the following holidays on which we want to do.
While I don’t agree with your assessment of the Grand Cal rooms or the quality of the theming, I do understand that it could be tiring having people who are not owners or who have not stayed at the property come onto a thread and drone on about things that have already been discussed at length like the TOT.
I think that’s fair, and even as a fan it doesn’t mean things are perfect all the time. We all have different preferences, and I personally prefer the firmer beds in the newer/refurbed resorts compared to the softer ones at VGC. I also like the Palm Breeze Bar and that lounge area of the VDH lobby. But there is nothing like that Pixar Pier view at VGC… I adore that view.
It’s the giant Tiana picture in the living room of the 1 bedrooms…. I like the movie…. I like the character…. but I don’t want a full size painting of any character… especially a face character…. staring at me while I am eating or at my kids when they are sleeping…..
I get what you mean, but luckily the painting doesn’t bother us. I do, however, prefer the way they did the artwork at RIV.
