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

Hey Nala.....2 LI'ers passed today then. I guess they didn't want to see what a bunch of p-ssed off NY'er can do. Congrats to you

Selden (Suffolk County) here...how about you?

1st contract
OKW 230 base points $55/pp
144pts banked (from '12)
Oct UY
seller pays 1/2 closing

Went through Fidelity w. Rachel. Pretty easy so far as it was the first one we made an offer on. We just saw it on line and called up to make and offer
Took pretty much the full 30 days.

and to my wife who is a lurker

very excited!

Congradulations on getting a OKW contract through ROFR.

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!

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

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

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

WAIVED!! Just got the email a little while ago. This is our first contract and we're stoked!!

OKW42 - 100pts @ $54. August UY. No '12 pts and 100 '13 pts.

Buyer pays closing costs. 2012 MF already paid by seller.

Got word today that we passed!

We were informed when we inquired about the listing that this was a bankruptcy case and that closing could take a bit longer. We were ok with this as we don't plan on making a trip until 2014 and thus were also ok with no 2012 points as we only needed 2013 and 2014 points for the trip. This made the low price attractive to us. Well it turns out in our email that we received today letting us know that we passed, our agent also informed us that more points became available and that we would likely receive all of the 2012 points too. Which if this happens (not sure what went on) , would make this an awesome deal imo. Either way, we are happy to to be joining the club.
