Agreed.

And if it is a murphy bed rather than a pull-out, then I consider that equivalent to a bed.

Both types of studios are the same number of points.

Shouldnā€™t but it is. @Nicky_S is right.

ETA - I hope the rest of you are right that thereā€™s a good split on preference!

Totally agree. And agree they should have put in Murphy beds. We wonā€™t book without a kitchenette. The fridge space and toaster make a huge difference (not that I own at GF).

The incentives for Phase 2 have them basically at resale prices. I think iā€™m seriously considering getting some points just to be a direct member. Someone talk me out of it lol.

Ha! I was just doing my $207x50= calculation but I am outā€¦I know I just donā€™t need it.

Will you be happy with those point charts and resort rooms ? If yes- most likely you can sell it for a profit soon. Would you buy 150 points? Could you break it up to two 75 point contracts?

I would most likely buy 150 so I can be direct. Right now iā€™m a resale member at BLT. Do you think it would sell for a profit later? its coming out to $201 per point direct from disney.

Also, i feel like i would be renting them out every other year. I only go to Disney annually for one week, and my other contract covers that.

Resale was $185 recently so yes, I think you would be able to seek for a profit in a few years. Consider splitting it to the two contracts?

I wonder if that would make my cost higher with two closing costs. I will email and ask the sales agent.

Throwing out options ā€“ Riviera after incentives at 150 points comes to $193 per point. Also, if it matters to you, the Riviera has a longer contract by 6 years.
We were looking to add on at BC resale, but our contracts kept getting taken by Disney in ROFR. After much deliberation, we ended up adding on at Riviera instead.

I dont like the resale restrictions of Riviera, otherwise its such a beautiful resort!

For sure itā€™s only worth owning there if you plan on it being a long term relationship. The resale restrictions suck rocks. We never plan on selling, and we absolutely love it there, so it works for us.

Restrictions and a monorail resort with a walking path to MK!

I was thinking how this pricing for VGF is close to some resales, and not far off from some other direct resorts.

Interesting to me that they did not put any restrictions on this - I guess because itā€™s part of the existing VGF they couldnā€™t?

Yes. The abbreviation VGF2 has stuck but really itā€™s just VGF. Exactly the same terms as VGF, so they couldnā€™t place restrictions on it.

Hmmmm. If you buy 2 75 pt contracts to get status and then sell 1 do you keep status? If I could turn a relatively quick profit and keep status that might not be a bad idea.

To keep your status you must keep the minimum number of points that qualified at the time you bought the points that youā€™re keeping.

So if you bought 100 points at Bay Lake back when the minimum was 100 points, you qualify for a blue card. If you now buy 100 points at VGF and sell BLT you will no longer qualify for a blue card. You only have 100 points when the minimum now is 150 points.

But if you had bought 100 points at Bay Lake and qualified for a blue card and added on 275 at VGF to flip, you would still keep your blue card, since that BLT contract still qualifies.
