Just purchased 150 points at VDH. We have 100 points resale at Aulani, which we love. As Californians, Disneyland is our home resort and I’ve always kicked myself for not buying into VGC 15 years ago. I thought about just buying 60 or so points at VDH and keeping it small, but with the incentives at 150 points (including magical beginnings) and the point difference between winter and summer, it made sense to give us some flexibility and have more points. I’ve thought about trying to get a VGC resale contract, but the upfront cost for VGC just made it tough even with all the math above (which I ran through myself when going over all this!). And it will be nice to have some unrestricted points. I would say - if you’re looking at buying into a Disneyland property and DVC makes sense for you (which is a big if) I wouldn’t hesitate to get VDH. VGC isn’t really a fair comparison - yes you can find a resale contract, but it is a lot harder now, and the upfront cost difference is not insignificant. VDH will give you a nice room, in a Disney hotel, near the park, for a good cost that will only look better as the years go on. Good luck to all trying to make a decision!
