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

[ScottLea94]

Add us to the waiting list Beca.

We're waiting on ROFR for 205 points at HH. $70/pt with 62 remaining 2004 pts and all 2005 points intact. Submited to Disney 1/21.

Keeping our fingers crossed

Well, here it is Sunday night, and another week soon to begin.

I phoned TTS on the off-chance there was some news, though given that my contract was submitted on 1/28 I doubted it. But I thought it was worth call. No news.

How does the ROFR process work? I believe I've read that it's a committee that meets? Is this correct? Anyone have any idea if they meet once a week or mulitple times a week. I wonder what sort of analysis is done in advance. I would think that it's just a recommendation that would go to committee for final discision.

If anyone has any insight into the process, let's hear it.

 

[Beca]

Ian...unfortunately, DVC keeps the whole "ROFR" thing under wraps. Some people say they meet once a week, some people say their meeting are controlled by "demand". My guide won't even tell me "what department" is in charge of this other than they are "bean counters".

Thanks to everyone who keeps sending me their info to post...this thread couldn't continue without all of you!!!

Let's hope there is good news this week!!!

Hello all

still waiting to hear - but i just wanted to point something out (not to make you waiting BCV's nervous)- but the listings for BCV at 90$!!! per point are now pending. Having never stayed at any of the Disney Vacation places, can anyone tell me why BCV has distanced itself from the others by some much--

It can't be proximity to the parks, b/c BWV, although not as close to epcot, is closer to MGM-

I know that the pool is great, but is that alone worth the huge price differential??

Is BCV the smallest one?--Is it that much smaller than BWV??

I know that this thread is for ROFR, but so many of you are so knowledgable, I figured I would put it here and get a good response

Just wondering--

THANKS and good luck to everyone waiting!!

 

[reesecup]

I noticed it was pending as well. But, I think you have to remember that just b/k it says sale pending doesn't mean the buyer offered $90. They may have offered less and the seller took it. But, then again...... That just boggles my mind. I loved the BCV as well, but I just don't know about paying that amount for it. I think we will love BWV and enjoy visiting BCV. But, our children are getting older and if they were smaller, I would certainly be wanting BCV for the wonderful pool. And I will probably be one of those who seeks out a small contract there anyway. And may kick myself that I wasn't willing to pay $90 down the road. Who knows?

BCV is popular for many reasons. First, the theming is really beautiful. And, yes..the pool is another reason BCV is so popular. SAB is the ONLY pool that DVCer's cannot pool hop to...SAB is open ONLY to guests of YC/BC and BCV. That makes it somewhat "exclusive", and therefore drives up it's popularity.

BCV is not the smallest resort, that distinction goes to VWL with 137 accomodations. But, BCV is second smallest at 208...being just over HALF the size of BWV at 383. OKW is around 550, and SSR will be around 838. The small size adds to its desirability, as people are unsure how difficult it will be to get a ressie seven months out in the long-term.

These are just some of the reasons...I'm sure different people have other reasons as well. As for me, I find it is a VERY comfortable and elegant resort...the kind of place I want to vacation. I want to own there because I love it and want the 11 month window to reserve there.

[Beca]

[Tink10]

Whoo Hoo Beca!!!!!

 

[reesecup]

I know you are so happy! Congrats! Now, you've gotten me wanting some BCV!

 

[NYsHiddenMickey]

Congrats

from prior posts I can tell you really wanted BCV- and now the passed column has taken a nice lead over the ROFR'd column-- which is nice to see

quick question-- how do you know the date the info was "submitted" to Disney-- Al I know is the date I fedexed my deposit check and signed paperwork back-??

I guess the broker can tell me the actual date it was submitted..

Anyway-- congratulations again

 

[MickeyBabe]

Yeah Beca!!!! I'm so Happy for you!

Congratulations!!!!

Home!!


​

 

[Scott H]

Congrats, surprised to hear of news on a Monday, I was told to expect a middle of week response. This could be good let's hope.

 

[Beca]

Thanks, everyone!!!

reesecup...I'm SOO sorry!! BCV is a BAD thing to want...it's just too hard to get!! (I wish you ALL the luck, though!!!) It may be a bad thing to want, but it is a GOOD thing to have!!!

NYsHiddenMickey...yes, I called my broker and asked, "What day did you submit to DVC"? I think that may be why it sometimes seems the list goes out of order. Some people tell me the day they faxed the papers back. But, the owner has to sign as well, and then the agent has to prepare the docs and get them to DVC. I returned my contract on 1/21, but it did not go to DVC until 1/24.

Good luck!!!!

Beca

 

[Scotch]

Beca,

CONGRATULATIONS!! I totally know how you feel about owning BCV.

 

[NYsHiddenMickey]

Thanks for your help

P.S.- 83pp with banked points sounds like a steal given the fact that people appear to be getting 90 now--

congrats again

Yeah...scary part is...the owner was only asking $80. I got one of the last "bargains" out there!!!

[Cinderpals]

I'm anxiously awaiting news on BCV points too. I want both BWV and BCV! I hope that the owner just delayed the contract going to ROFR because I returned both contracts at the same time. I'm glad you offered more points too. I would have offered more on mine too, but I had already offered higher points on my BWV contract. Remembered when you and I posted doing this. Glad we both did!

I'm going to call my agent now, and ask her to look over the ROFR list for my BCV points!

I'm not feeling too confident about them today. Need to reread some positive posts. I'll email details about another BWV contract when it gets submitted to ROFR.

 

[triple7]

I just found out that my 100 point BCV passed ROFR. I have decided to stay on the DVC waiting list for additional December BCV points though. Been 2 months since I went on the waiting list so I am sure glad I grabbed these 100 points when they showed up on the TSS site. Plan to get another 50 to 75 BCV points from DVC if they become available .

 

[greenban]

Congrats Beca and all of you other ROFR passers!

(1 dollar! 1 Dollar.....arrrrrghgggghhhhhhh!)

-Tony

 

[Beca]

Cinderpals...seriously...don't get down yet!! You're exactly right...even though you signed both contracts at the same time, one seller might have been slower than the other on getting it back!!

triple7 - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I was wondering when you would hear!! I have "officially" moved you!!
