Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

[Minniesgal]

How long does it take to get the email from the closing company? I just received word yesterday that Disney waived ROFR. TSS said we should hear from closing company within 10 days. Just wondered if it is usually earlier than that or not??

It depends on the company, the first time we bought we got the documents the next day.

This time we have been waiting a bit longer and still nothing.

For us, it was less than 10 days. We passed ROFR last Tuesday, & the contracts for us to sign came over the weekend. I think it was on Saturday but we were not home. The closing company did leave a voice message saying they had sent the e-mail to us.

The documents & check have arrived there this morning. We'll see how long the wait is now to get the points.

Thanks Bobbi! Hope the rest of your wait is not too long.

I worked with TSS and had my closing docs within 3 days of passing rofr. Closed within a week of receiving the documents. First time DVC owner and had my points loaded and first vacation booked exactly two weeks from closing date. Both the seller and I moved quickly to complete everything.

Good luck on a speedy timeline to you.

That sounds great!! When is your first vacation? Coming up soon?

Hmmm. I hope you don't have to wait too much longer.

Any1 pass today?

Just heard that Disney transferred ownership to our names today of our purchase. The email said to wait 7-10 days for our member number in the mail. I went ahead and called member services.

The first woman was extremely rude and made it clear we had to wait on our packet and she could not give me information because of the "type" of contract we had.

When I hung up I wasn't satisfied so I called again. The guy I got the second time was amazing. Put me on hold, came back, asked for some info, and got me our new member number. Then I made our reservation for September at the resort and dates we wanted! We are so excited! Just wanted to share that persistence pays off.

I had a similar problem when I first called member services. The trick is to press "2" (which is like account management or something) and then explain to them the situation. They will most likely transfer you to the resales department who actually process the contracts

Sending some pixie dust your way

Found out yesterday that we passed ROFR. AKL 185 points(2 contracts 160 and 25) no points this year 118 next, feb use year. Paid 63 a point. This is our first DVC contract, so excited. FYI the contracts got sent to Disney on March 20.

Sending some pixie dust your way

thanks, I think tho I have to have like the worst luck ever probably due to my lack of patience. I love seeing how people were sent the same day or after are finding out & here we are still in the dark. The contract from the seller came in on 3/19 & Sharon told me it was sent to rofr on the 20th, but when we finally got the contracts 3 wks later the date said the 21st, so we're on day 27. Sharon said she still hasn't heard anything. She also said Disney doesn't take any longer than 30 days. Shawn Ray told me again today it may be monday before we hear anything so Idk what to believe. LOL! I feel my luck has always been bad. I'm actually going to think we didn't get it until I hear that we do. And if anyone wants to think that's crappy, well go ahead. I'd rather not get my hopes up about something I have no idea about until I know.

Disney once again took our contract - this was our second attempt not sure I have it in me to try again

VB 150 (Sept UY) $40 150 banked 2012, all 2013 pts forward

sorry to hear that. what day did your contract go to Disney? doesn't bode well for me - our VB contract was submitted on 4/4 @ $34 / point with 210 banked 2012 points and all 2013 points (Aug UY)

 

[NoleFan]

We already have a trip booked in October, half cash and half DVC points (we have a 50 point contract that we bought direct). I'll probably see if I can just use my new points to buy out the nights for which I've paid cash.

If that won't work, I'll book a second trip in January.

BWV

Is BWV your home resort for both contracts?

Congratulations to all who have recently passed ROFR!

For those of you who like to see timelines on closed contracts, here you go:

Details of contract: 350 BWV; April use year; $67pp; buyer pays closing costs, seller and buyer split '13 MF; 350 2012 pts, 350 2013 pts, and all moving forward.

Submitted offer: 2/5
Sellers accepted: 2/6
Contract received: 2/6(via email)
Sent signed contract via scanner/email: 2/7
Mailed deposit with signed contract: 2/7
Received copy of seller's signed contract via email: 2/8
Signed contract sent to Disney for ROFR process: 2/8
Wait, wait, wait.................
Received news we have made it through Disney's ROFR process! : 3/5(26 days)
Received closing documents via email: 3/15
Sent wire transfer and final docs to title company: 3/19
14 days later, received email that Title Co has closed on our contract: 4/2
Received membership letter with number in mail: 4/13(it was postmarked 4/9, so only a week for Disney to transfer points and establish my new membership)

The exciting part? I made reservations on 4/14 at BWV for 9 night stay beginning Jan 2nd. (Following a NYE cruise on the Dream)Booked 2-2bd villas for myself and 7 kids plus my 2 17yr old siblings; hoping my parents will join us too, and maybe my sister and her family of 5. I was hoping for a 3 bd Grand Villa, but no luck. After considering though, 2-2bd is probably better. This way we can invite more family,18 max, if needed, and more bathrooms!
So my 700 pts are being put to good use; I've got 4 points left from 2012/2013, but still have all 350 for 2014.

Good luck to all going through this process right now!

Sorry, I am not happy about this one. I am two weeks behind you at 38 a point. No banked points on mine and even missing a dozen 2013 points. Same UY. We will see.

You're probably better off without the banked points and it may even be lucky that there are current points missing. Disney can't turn around and sell that full contract until next year. And even if they turn it into smaller contracts, they'd be responsible for MFs on those dozen points until they can pair it with pther points come 2014.
