VB 150 pts June UY

$35/pt, buyer pays 3 months MFs, buyer and seller split closing

June 12 - 300 pts (150 banked), 13 - 150 pts

Submitted to ROFR on 8/15

Great deal!

Wow thats a phenomenal deal. How did you pull that one off?

Thanks. We waited patiently and made lots of offers that were rejected before this one.

I'm on day 20 and waiting...

Hope you hear news soon.

It's VB -- $35/point is not out of line for there. It's a good deal, especially since it's loaded with two UY's of points, but $35 for VB is not at all unusual given what's been reported on this thread.

I've never been interested in VB so I haven't followed the price point for it. Interesting to know.

So annoyed!!! It's 30 days and still nothing. So I just called Sharon at Fidelity to inquire and she still doesn't have an answer. What the F! She tells me that she got a batch this morning but she has to make some phone calls to see about mine. The I ask how come it's taking so long...since some people hear at 3 weeks or less. She said NO, with Fidelity it's ALWAYS 30 days. Am I crazy or what? Have all Fidelity contracts taken 30 days or more?

Goofy congrats to you!

We are not using Fidelity, however ours went in on 7/30 and I just called the office of our agent. They said that they usually have info by now and that they are going to look into it and get back to me. They said that they usually get all the ROFR notices on Tuesdays and Wednesdays..

I like your sentiment... What the F? Maybe Disney wants to see how patient us New Yorkers really are

Goofy congrats to you!

It's nearly always in Disney's best interest to take the full 30 days. While they are sitting on your contract a buyer could come along and want the resort you are trying to buy, so instead of you getting it, Disney scoops it up and sells it to the direct purchaser. Now resorts were Disney has a lot of points such as AKV, Aluani, and probably SSR they don't need to buy any points with ROFR so those contracts probably go through as fast as they can process the paper work.

Sharon is really great though, so I'm sure she'll track down what the status of your contract is. Good luck.

NY-ers Unite! Westchester County, Yonkers, here.
Just got a phone call from Sharon - we passed...as I expected. BWV 50 (Mar UY) 18 for '12 & 50 thereafter $68pp, buyer pays cc & mf. This is our first contract too - now lets see how long till we close & get our membership. We're going down Sept 30th and hoping to get our APs so we can fit 3 trips. Sharon said she'll try to expedite this if possible. I need some pixie dust!

Oh yeah timeline:
Found listing & made offer & accepted 7/26
Signed contract by both (S&B) 7/30
Submitted to Disney for ROFR 7/31
ROFR waived 8/28

Thanks, it's just frustrating waiting all this time just want to get this over with.

 

[ljhayes]

We went to ROFR today. SSR, 110 points, Oct UY, $66 per point, all 2012 pts, seller pays closing and 2012 MF. Keeping fingers crossed

Found out today we passed! We were originally submitted 8/1, but apparently they didn't include the paperwork from both sellers so we were resubmitted 8/8. Not sure what you want to do with that for your wait time calculations

 

[DannysMom]

Congrats to all those that found out that they passed today!
