The model rooms for the Grand Californian Villas at the Disneyland sales center will open just in time for Memorial Day weekend. On May 23rd - 26th, DVC will host special preview sessions exclusively for existing members. Invitations are being prepared now and will soon be sent to members living in the Southern California area. The proposed “Founding Member” sales program will allow existing members who initially purchased through the California sales center an exclusive two week period to purchase up to 160 points at the Grand Californian.
After this exclusive period sales will then be opened-up to other members as well as the general public. It is not yet clear if existing members will have priority over the general public, or sales will be open to all interested parties once the founding member priority period has ended.
Some have speculated that the policy was created to bolster traffic at the Disneyland sales center. It has been suggested that the announcement of a new DVC property in California would cause a lag as west coast buyers wait for the Grand Californian Villas to go on sale.
With the news that only 50 two bedroom “equivalent” units will be built at the Grand Californian, many members fear that all available points for this property will sell out within weeks. Disney sources remain confident that there will still be points available to existing members once sales are open to them.
Approximately 600,000 points at the Grand Californian will be available for sale beginning in the spring of 2009. That's 3750 new 160 point contracts!
