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

[parrisk]

50 points at BWV submitted 1/2/07 passed today. Paid $89 per point. I know I probably paid too much, but I LOVE BWV(I wanted that 11 month booking advantage) and didn't want to risk not passing. Also just purchased 150 points at SSR through Disney taking advantage of their $86 per point special. Now I want points at OKW. Think I'll try my luck at bartering a bit for those. Any ideas on the lowest amount Disney would pass for OKW.

Yahoo!! 160 SSR points with all '06 points banked passed yesterday @$83 per point (submitted 12/20/06). Frankly, I think it would have gone through at $82, and maybe at $81, but did not want to risk it, so offered the $83. Feel real good about it. We wanted one loaded with points and the use year is just perfect for us, so did not want to risk it over a couple hundred dollars!!

Scot at the TTS said they got a bunch back yesterday. Said they seem to do them in "batches"...

Newbie question please bear with me as I just stumbled upon this thread...Can someone please tell me what "passed" means? Where are you all buying these points from? Sorry to bother you all but we are thinking of becoming DVC members and just want to know all our options. Thanks Becky

The TSS is a "Great" company to work with and has some good deals!

When it comes to the current selling Disney resort, SSR, its usually people that want "less than" the minimum 150 pt. Disney requirement that are buying. The Disney promo @ $86. per pt, but, for 150 min is a great deal!!

Ya need to do "your" homework and dont forget the pt. prices shown here, don't include the resellers closing fees (that you're not hearing about, but adds to the per pt. cost ).

"Congratulations to ALL"

 

[Delaware Mike]

Any word yet, mattnday?

Your contract has to be getting close to the top of the ROFR pile...

(geez, this is worse than getting hooked on daytime drama... )

Any ideas on the lowest amount Disney would pass for OKW.

You can also call Disney to ask about adding on at OKW. Last I checked, they were avail at $87 per point, no closing costs and included current yr points (bankable irregardless of "normal" banking deadlines) and pro-rated maint fees. When comparing to resale, don't forget to include closing costs and outstanding MFs to your total cost.

I just added points to my contract - I've only given a deposit so far, and my points are already avail for booking, too!

 

[parrisk]

Thanks for the advice. Not for sure what we're going to do. A friend said she heard a rumor during Christmas at Fort Wilderness Campground that they were possibly adding a DVC loop or something to that effect. We have a 39ft. toyhauler and take our own golf cart with us when we camp, so I may hold out a while longer to see if that rumor is true. Fort Wilderness Campground can be difficult to get into at certain times and I would love to see an 11-month priority for booking. We are using our points for a campground stay in May. I wonder if anyone else has heard this rumor?

VWL 50 points through TTS August use year

$90

5pts from 2006 and 50 coming on 8/2007

buyer pays closing

Since this is my first, I am very excited. Hope it will pass. I wanted to start with a small contract and then will add a couple more small ones to total three, one for each of my kids.

Very please with TTS They are so helpful.

Jerry

 

[KristineN]

OK...this is my last time (I think )...cross your fingers...

100 BWV Dec Use year all 2006 points, all 2007 points..buyer pays closing and 2007 fees...$86 pp

 

[tkillini99]

I just heard from Robert at the Timeshare Store that our contract passed! We bought 160 pts at SSR, $83/pt, Feb use year, all 2007 pts plus 10 banked from 06, buyer pays 07 fees. I'm so excited, especially because we had already booked a trip with the points (we paid upfront to "rent" the points and that money will go towards the purchase price since the contract passed).

We're going to SSR first week in March! Can't wait! We are so excited!

 

[greenban]

Let me be the first to say, "Congrats and welcome Home Neighboor!"

Is your closing scheduled after March? Otherwise it is my understanding that all pending ressies are cancelled at the time of closing.

-Tony

 

[tkillini99]

yes, our closing is scheduled for immediately after we return.

 

[tkillini99]

oh, and thanks for the "Welcome Home"!

We can't wait! My husband and I have 2 daughters (ages 3.5 and 6 weeks). The 3.5 year old loves Disney World (we took her in Nov 05). That was when we decided we wanted to buy into DVC. I think I loved it as much as she did

 

[lexib]

We just heard from the TSS today, our offer passed ROFR. 150 points VWL $83.00 a point all 06 points banked and all 07 points available with an August use month, the TSS said it should take about 3 weeks for final closing. We are so excited, : Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!

 

[KristineN]
