Looking up at the Disney Vacation Club villas from the pool area

On September 23, 2009 Disney Vacation Club will open its tenth property--the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.  To help members celebrate the newest (and smallest) DVC property, Disney will host a webcast providing an inside look at the brand new resort. Also highlighed will be special incentive pricing available only during the webcast.

Orange County (CA) has begun recording deeds for the first wave of buyers at the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.  Disney Vacation Club purchases are real estate transactions and thus are a matter of public record.  Deeds can be located on the Orange County Recorder website at http://cr.ocgov.com/grantorgrantee/index.asp

DVCNews.com has updated our DVC sales statistics page for June 2009 to include the Grand Californian numbers.
