Closing Time!!

Congratulations!!!

I must confess, though, I am totally jealous that you sailed through, another PP said they're working on June 16, meanwhile we recorded on June 11 and nothing.

I'm sorry to go all Eeyore on you all. I really am happy for those that have their membership numbers, especially the first-timers pixiedust:

Our deed was recorded June 3 and I still have nothing so don't feel bad. I give up and will wait for my letter to arrive. I'm tired of being treated like crap because we are resale. I'll simply wait to be surprised by my letter and be able to call them and have a nicer experience. :)

I get not wanting to constantly be treated like crap. Given the money you are paying it's amazing the depths of rudeness and incompetence we encountered in the resale experience. That being said, I would think that you should have your number by now. We recorded June 1st and Disney had our paperwork in house June 4th. We finally got our number June 22nd and received our letter June 29th (it was dated June 20th). Maybe at least call to see if the letter has been sent? Hang in there! :)
 
Just wanted to add my deed was recorded 6/18 and I still have nothing showing on my account. I have not called yet. I'm guessing it will show up one day this week hopefully!
 
We closed June 19. I called Thursday afternoon and was told they could see the contract but it hasn't been transferred to my name yet. Hopefully this week it will be transferred. I'm anxiously awaiting.
If anyone calls and gets Vicki, hang up, she won't help you at all.
 


I clused on 6/29. No deed in the system yet but the online system is only reconciled until the 20th or something. I also heard it is a misnomer that Disney waits for OCC. I heard my title company just send the docs right to them.

You closed a few days before I did. If you are able get your number soon, please share what you did or said. I am still hoping for a July trip, but hopes are fading quickly.......

That's my understanding, too. It's just that the title company sends the deed to be recorded at the same time they send the file to Disney, so the recording time is a good indication of when the documents made it through the mail.
 


I called today. Recorded on the website on the 11th, Disney received my info on the 18th.
My name is in the system. With the old member number and they should create my account and I should have my letter this week.

I will keep everyone posted. I'm going to try today and see what they say.
 
Just got off the phone after a 25 minute wait. Everything is still under the old owner's name, no mention of me at all. This time I got someone that asked for either my member number or contract number so I just gave her my contract number since I had that ;) (Recorded on 6/17)
 
Just got off the phone with Micheal. He was able to give me my number, but said my points were not loaded yet. He was super nice and said it would be maybe another 4-5 days to get points loaded.

Contract number is really pointless. It's the previous owner's contract number. You'll get a new number.
 
We got our welcome packet today! We got an email with our activation code on Saturday, which is funny because we got our activation code, from a member rep, to go online on June 24th.

recorded 6/1
paperwork to Disney 6/4
member number 6/22
member letter (dated 6/20) 6/29 activation code email 7/4
member packet 7/6.

Phew!!!

Good luck to all of those still waiting!

The "recording time" has zero correlation to when the documents make it through the mail to Disney or when someone actually opens the mail at the DVC offices. The Title companies don't send the deeds via mail to OCC to be recorded, rather they are electronically uploaded via Simplifile or one of the other approved vendors and made visible online when they are proofed by the clerk. There's no file being sent to Disney and OCC at the same time. If waiting for a new member number from DVC, you can currently expect 10-14 days on average from when your deed is proofed on the OCC site.
 
Just called back and spoke to Sharon. She was able to book my vacation and give me my activation code for online.
Awsome news, you had a wait and a half for that contract. Did they ask about resale or not, or did you simply give the information and they found it in the system? Also, did it go from 4-5 days to just over an hour based on the person you spoke with (in your opinion)?

And one more question, Vols or Vandy?
 
It seems like things are ranging around the 3 week mark for processing. I'm still anxiously awaiting somewhere close to that time to get our member number to plan for early Sept. I know we'll get something, but I'm fairly confident we'll only have SSR as an option to choose from.
