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

[LakeAriel]

Jmatias and Scotch...yes, we are buying a BCV contract!! We are, however selling our VWL. We both LOVE the resort, but we don't need 600 pts (even though I'm SURE we could find a way to use the points). DH really wanted to sell our BWV, but we have borrowed all of our points for an "impromtu" trip with friends in May, and I don't want to sell it stripped. Plus, DH loves VWL enough that I KNOW he will want to do a small add-on there eventually, and he didn't really like BWV all that much...but, I LOVED it!! If I allow him to sell that one, I know I will NEVER get BWV points again.

Anyway, when we went on our first trip "home" in Dec. he said, "Well, I really like the resorts we own at, but why didn't you buy BCV?" To which I replied, "You know....having an opinion BEFORE I bought would've been helpful, 'Mr. I don't care!!'"

But, unfortunately...I fell in love with BCV, too. I didn't think I would as the DVC wing seemed like a not-too-well-planned-out-afterthought when you look at it on paper. I mean, no rooms on the water (but, hey...you can get a "road" view), and I just didn't feel like there would be that much "going on" on that side of the lake (i.e. BORING). But, one night we went over to Beaches 'n Cream to eat...and my heart just melted!!! I loved EVERYTHING!!! I didn't expect the resort to be so ELEGANT (It is everthing I thought the Grand Floridian would be (btw...I was VERY disappointed in the GF)). SAB is SOO cool (even though I am allergic to chlorine...my dd will love it when she gets older). The serenity of the lobby was a sharp contrast to the noisiness of BWV's lobby. I loved watching the artist draw pictures of people, and I loved being on the same level as the water when you are outside. I really loved seeing the sand everywhere as opposed to a boardwalk. There was a pirate band playing on the beach where they were having a private party....they were VERY good, and SOOO funny!!! I could go on and on about all the things we loved at BCV (the store is much nicer than the one at BWV. We kept walking over there to shop. The lobby seemed bigger, and at the same time "slower". We loved the architecture, the "water theming", the location being right off of Epcot, and so on.) It was just one of those moments where you know that you "fit" with something. We "fit" with Beach Club....and no one was more surprised than we were!!

Don't get me wrong...I still love my BWV (I wouldn't want anyone to think I am "trashing" it...the rooms are GORGEOUS, and I LOVE the standard view option...it's like a discount with a GREAT location), but we just wanted BCV, too.

So...we started our "quest". I got on the waitlist at DVC (I'm still on there, actually), but my guide said a MINIMUM 8-12 month wait if I'm lucky!! So, we started looking, and found a REALLY sweet contract with almost full banked points. So, of course I am now thinking that Disney will take it back, and it's really hard to say with BCV, "Oh, don't worry!! If we don't get this one, another one will come along"...because BCV's with banked points don't come along that often.

So, that is why I started this thread...so, I could see just how nervous I should be.

Anyway...congrats to all who have passed!! And, good luck to those who are waiting!!

Here's the stats of those who have posted:

Greenban - still waiting on a contract that went on Jan 2nd

Bobbiwoz - passed (mid-Jan) 50 VWL $77 all '05 points intact

leise - passed (1/19, in less than 10 days) 100 OKW $76

Amanda C - passed (mid-Jan) 70 HHI $70 all '05 points intact

Beca - waiting on 150 BCV $80

If anyone wants to be added to this list, just post and I will keep it going for awhile.

I'm sure this is old news but did your contract come through? I own 250 points Dec use year at VWL. I have borrowed from 2006 for two one bedrooms next August. Now that I have a real vacation home in the mountains I think I would be happier at BCV too. I think they are more watchful I wonder if I should sell 100 points and buy BCV and keep 150 VWL? I guess I would need to wait till next year when I have some points available to sell to the new owner. Has it been a smooth transaction through Disney? Did you buy and sell through them? Thanks!

[even1]

Oh boy, I guess I'd have to be REALLY blessed to have my resale pass ROFR.

I just sent my deposit in for 50 OKW pts/$75. pp/ 50 available & 50 coming 6/06.

I'm believing that if we're meant to have them it will pass, if not maybe a better deal will present itself soon

I can't believe how much I want this

So sorry bullpup. Are you a member already or was this your first try?

 

[T.E. Yeary]

I am so sorry to hear about some not passing ROFR! With the SSR promotion, I can only assume that someone was on the Disney Waiting List for that very package.

You might want to try again with a different use year and see what happens.

Usually when this happens, a better package comes along and sails right through. It's happened so many times it's almost scary.

Best of luck to each and every one of you!

Sincerely,
Tom

 

[dvcnewgirl]

I didn't think it would be a problem becasue it was stripped... The last ROFR scares me...Hilton Head 80 points $66. No points til 07. Went to disney 10/31. Seller pays 2006 M/F.

[Fellowship9798]

I just got word that my resale passed Disney's ROFR, so 150 BWV points are mine. Mwa ha ha ha. Time to start renting some of the 2004 & 2005 points to recover some of the purchase price! I just came back from WDW a month ago and with this contract purchase can't afford another WDW trip for a while. Kind of ironic I guess. Buying DVC may actually prevent me from visitng WDW for some time.

Oh well, it's for the best in the long run!

Congratz Darren!

I know renting 2 years worth of points can make a huge dent in the upfront costs... of course ya know you could use the 2005 points for another trip and rent the 2004 points to pay for the other expenses of the trip!

Congratz Darren!

I know renting 2 years worth of points can make a huge dent in the upfront costs... of course ya know you could use the 2005 points for another trip and rent the 2004 points to pay for the other expenses of the trip!

Don't tempt me.

To keep this transacation bascially debt free, I should rent them. As tempting as the idea is to put them to use right away and get instant gratification on the purchase, I must be strong! Christmas is coming, mortgage payments must be made, baby needs a new pair of shoes, etc.

I can be patient. (I think)

Darren

I was just wondering if anyone can give me an answer why 2 contracts go to ROFR on the same day and one gets a response before the other? Mine went on 10/31 and has not gotten an answer when someone else on this board did? I know this is probably a stupid question....just wondering Thanks-

This is my take on the whole process................

There is no rhyme or reason when it comes to the ROFR process!

Phone your agent to see if they have heard anything, sometimes it's their day off when they find out and will take a day or two to get back to you.

If you are dealing with the Timeshare Store, they don't mind! They are great to work with! I've used them twice now! Which reminds me.......

Is there a time limit as to when we can pick up those "Bags" Tom?

I have gone thru the ROFR process eight times (and, I kept up this thread for several months). I don't know if my guesses are better than anyone else's, but I have wondered the same thing, and here's the possibilities I came up with:

1) For a while, it seemed like DVC was "batching" ROFR contracts. They would "hold" them, and when they had several of one resort, that resort would be looked at. They would ROFR the "cheapest" couple of the batch, and let the others go. If they are still doing this, and DVC did not get to your resort, but got to another one....that would explain the delay.

2) I have seen a trend where (for the most part...this never included me....see 3 below) current members who are doing add-ons seem to get thru faster than new members who are buying initial contracts. DVC seems to be much more lenient to current members, especially when DVC cannot provide the points members are wanting.

3) My closing agent (who used to work for DVC) says that even when some people get thru much more quickly, her contracts ALWAYS take 28-30 days. It sounds like "bad blood" to me, but she says she still has a lot of friends there...she thinks it is the opposite....because she has a lot of friends on the "inside", they have to be very careful with her contracts, so as not to appear to give favoritism.

I know it is hard, but the one thing I can stress OVER and OVER to you is this....a contract taking longer is NO indication of bad news. No news is simply NO news. I sold a contract in April at BWV for $69 per point. There were some contracts ROFR'd on the same day for $78, and yet mine did not get ROFR'd. Who knows? The news came thru right at the 30 day mark.

I was always buying BCV. For some reason, BCV's seem to take a little longer (as judged by EVERYONE around me on the list hearing before me), but I NEVER got ROFR'd. Just hang in there, and try not to get mad....it's not personal....and, it is so worth it once you pass.
