No, there’s no way to link the stay like at WDW. Yay for booking!Just booked for March! Fingers crossed for everything reopening by then. This isn't our first time staying at GC, but it is our first time as DVC members, staying specifically at VGC.
Are we able to link the reservation to the Disneyland website? Am I missing something or is that somewhat pointless anyway?
Congrats!I just grabbed a 1br for late March.....Here is to hoping everything will be back open by then!
I am beyond excited about it!
Congrats!
We just booked a 2 bdr villa at exactly our 7 mth mark at 5 am! ( west coast) for April!
Hoping open and safe too!
This will be first time I’ve actually used points for villas, always had to book in Disney Collection
I'm trying to figure out what to do. I have a reservation for the weekend before Thanksgiving at VGC. Those points are banked, and will expire March 1. I have a reservation this coming weekend at WDW, and I now realize that I should have switched out the current points in that for the VGC points. If I try to do it now, the current points will go into holding. (Can holding points be banked?)
What options have been offered people? I think it's highly unlikely that they'll extend my points beyond the banking deadline. Maybe they'll let me do the switch without putting points in holding? But I'll still be left with 150 banked points. And my banking deadline is Oct. 31, and I don't know if they will have cancelled by then...
I've been able to reallocate online myself pretty easily. My point was that if I switch out the 87 current points for this weekend's reservation, I'll have to bank them by the end of the month, and the reservation might not be auto-cancelled by then. And even if it is, I still have 150 banked points in the reservation that I'll have to use before March.They are not placing points in holding now however you can't reallocate between reservations without cancelling one and trying to rebook after you reallocate.
I'm not quite understanding the reference to the banking deadline since it sounds like the points used for the VGC reservation are already banked? If so then there's no extension for them and you would need to use them by March 1st.

Thanks for the info about holding, though, that gives me hope.
Okay, on to my next problem. .
Anybody else have problems cancelling VGC reservations? I remember this happening to me earlier this year. Every time I try, I get the dwarfs.
Go in and modify the reservation and add your email back in that is now probably missing. Save it as if you're rebooking and THEN you'll be able to go back and cancel.
Wow that’s great info. Just happened the other day and I think happened last Spring. Any more info on why this happens? Is there a thread somewhere?
Thank you SO much for posting this info! Prior to this year I have been able to cancel online but something has changed with their system. Have had to contact MS multiple times for various cancellations this year. Numerous survey feedbacks and questions to MS and no one could tell me how to fix it. Just tried this and it worked!Go in and modify the reservation and add your email back in that is now probably missing. Save it as if you're rebooking and THEN you'll be able to go back and cancel.
Someone on here was saying that if the pools opened there can’t be any pool chairs or loungers and the resort can’t provide towels, food, or drinks. Masks must be worn when not physically in the pool. If VGC opened without the hotel, members would then incur all the costs to open the pool, dining, front desk staff etc.Any thoughts on if VGC could open before Disneyland opens? I would still like to take a trip there, even with DL closed. I have to believe there are a fair amount of people who would also be willing to stay there with the parks closed. They still have excellent pools, and could do some socially distanced outdoor movie night, or other activities at the resort. Why doesn't Disney consider this? As a VGC owner I find it unfair that the hotel remains closed, when I own there and would like to stay there before even more points expire.
