Closing Time!!

[hayesdvc]

Was *** one of the slower title companies? I fortunately used VWT, and I received closing docs a week after passing ROFR. Maybe *** is saying that so they can get people to stop calling about closing? Did they give you a closing date?

My closing date on my contract states 2/29.

As a note, TSS added three weeks (11 weeks v. 8 weeks) to their norm for a closing date on the contract since *** was behind.................. now with Disney's estoppel policy change basically TSS gave Disney an extra three weeks...........you can't make it up.

OMG the wait would kill me.

The ONLY issue I've heard about VWT is dues and other little things not being fully cleared up before recording the title and submitting that to Disney for the transfer. I have read at least 2 examples of that happening. I'd prefer to wait a bit longer on the front end to ensure that those things are properly resolved before getting to that point. We are paying them to clear the title for us, after all. That is part of the deal!

Finally got my member number via a one page letter from DVC. It said in the letter than cards and planner would arrive in 10 days to 2 weeks. This kind of confirms what the earlier phone call to Member Services mentioned that they were backed up with the reissuance of the new membership cards. I closed on the 28th of December as a point of reference.

I was able to call into Member Services and received my online Club ID/Activation code. Made a reservation for a VWL studio in August, so it is all good.

My deed was recorded on 01/14, sent to Disney on 01/15. It was just transferred into my name today. I already am a member and it showed up this morning under my DVC log in. No points yet. Anybody know how long it takes the points to load?

I did not realize Disney did anything DVD administrative related on the weekends.

It wasn't there yesterday and it appeared around lunchtime today.

It could have been done yesterday and just became visible on the site today. Who knows how their systems work? My guess is that someone completes the transfer and then someone else has to review the change and click a button to approve it. And who knows how often the database that shows that data on the website is updated? Most data you see isn't "live"; it's written elsewhere and replicated to a version that's accessed via the web site.

I've spent my whole career in IT and would love to know what makes some of the Disney sites so SLOW. I have a hunch there are some legacy systems still in use on the back-end that they've had trouble getting off of for some reason. Anyway, getting off topic here.

My contract was recorded on the 15th and sent to Disney on the 19th. I'm thinking of trying a call at the end of next week. It'd be nice to finally be able to book something. I'm hoping for NYE at BCV...

 

[Jessiemendez1]

LOL. Everything about Disney is slow. I just wish they would get it in the system!!

I'm in IT as well, and have been working with data (all areas) for over a decade. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to move this all this data around to the different areas of Disney. I would love to know...hmmm I wonder if they're hiring.

I just received an email from *** stating that Disney sent out a mass email yesterday stating they will be releasing estoppel information two weeks prior to the scheduled closing. *** does not know if this applies to all request in their system or is effective with a request date forward.

For those like me waiting on estoppel, I have been told today that the "estoppel information two weeks prior to the scheduled closing" policy change by Disney went into effect on 1/4/16. All request for estoppel submitted prior to that date will be fulfilled by Disney "as normal"; request dated 12/28 and back should be sent to the title companies today and tomorrow. For my sake, I hoping for good news this week ?!

Request for Estoppel submitted 12/30................................ *** RECEIVED TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS.I have posted this on a couple of threads ............................ I may find a Universal thread and put it on there too (LOL) I AM TELLING EVERYONE (yes, I know the hardest part is yet to come, don't burst my bubble today)!

 

[Mrs. Magic]

Ditto what hayesdvc said... I'm SOOOOOOOOO pumped! I'm getting closing docs emailed to me today!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

There is a "Come on Estoppel!!!!" thread that was being used for the longest time but it slipped down a few pages as people started new ones. Perhaps you could resurrect it and keep that party going! Here's the link:

Weird how it took so long for you. That letter that *** sent out almost doesn't even make logical sense and sounds suspiciously like they're trying to pass off blame for their own backlog. Nevertheless, as long as it gets done, I wouldn't care Hopefully they get it recorded and closed for you quickly!

Even though they said I should be receiving package this week, I called administration today. The wait was killing me -plus I want to book a trip.
And I'm finally in the system!!!!! They gave me my number and info to log in to website.

One odd thing is that my email address wasn't included in the deed from title company? Found that odd but if that's the case all those who are waiting I would call them.

Closing documents received and mailed back today. I hope the seller is motivated by $$$$$$ to send back their part as quick.
