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

[jtiggercat]

We received notice that we passed ROFR on Jan. 24. We received our member packet on 2/22. We were probably in the system well ahead of that. Interestingly, we did not get our member card in the packet, so we had to call to get our member ID and request the card.

We also booked a week in October!

jtiggercat,

I'm curious to which resort you were able to book at in Oct. That is when we are wanting to go and I'm just afraid we won't get it b/k we really want our home, BWV.

 

[jtiggercat]

Our home resort is OKW, and we have a room for SUN-FRI the last week of October. We rented points for OKW two years ago, and we love OKW! This time around we will be official DVC owners.

At the seven month window, we hope to move this reservation to one of the Epcot resorts because we plan to spend a lot of time at the Food and Wine Festival this year.

We have friends who go in late September to early November on a regular basis, and they have had no problems booking at either their home resort or any other DVC resort. They do avoid holidays like Columbus or Veteran's Day, though.

Okay,

I'm ready to close on 1st contract. Still haven't received final closing papers for second contract BCV that passed ROFR within days of the 1st contract BWV. I will call about the BCV closing today. Hopefully, I'll be able to book a room for August, if not, then for November. I recall my agent saying that it should take a week or two for us to get into the system after the close. I may have points to use by our March 22nd trip to WDW. It's hard to think that I won't be able to use my DVC points for stays in March and June. Maybe, something will open up for June. We are going to stay at the Yacht Club in June, so I can use the SAB pool. I'm still a little anxious about not having mouse keeping service everyday with DVC though Still, at this point, I just want a room at the BCV for one of our stays this year!
Are any of the DVC ROFRs going to WDW on these dates:
March 22-29th June 2-6th, Aug 21st-29th, Nov 2-8th?

 

[Cinderpals]

Jtiggercat, or anyone else who passed ROFR around 1/24, when did you receive the final closing papers?

Thanks! Just trying to anticipate when I might be added to the system as a new DVC owner.

The BWV contract is moving at least 1 week ahead of the BCV contract, eventhough they passed ROFR the same week.

 

[reesecup]

Hey all!!! We got our documents emailed to us today! I'm so happy.

It does say at the bottom of one of the forms that it may take 8 to 10 wks to get the deed and the owner's title insurance policy, so does that mean we won't be in the system until then? Sorry for sounding dumb, but well, in all honesty, I am regarding this.

Thanks!

 

[Cinderpals]

I talked to the closing company this morning. She said that it usually takes up to 10 business days after the close to be in the Disney System. I've read that it can take as little as 2-3 days after closing through resale.

I'm still waiting for my 2nd contract closing She said that it's being checked over by my agent.

I'll be able to start booking points by the 2nd week of March!!

 

[Beca]

reesecup....thanks for posting that!!! I looked back, and my contract passed ROFR before yours did, so I called the closing co. to see what the "holdup" was, and they emailed my papers to me THREE days ago, but the email got caught in my spam filter!!!!

Really frustrating....but, I can just fax them back to her (since we are financing this one)...and, the seller has not returned theirs yet, either (though the seller has contacted them to say they received them.)

Yea!!! I'm so excited!!! Thanks again!!!

[TammyAlphabet]

That is great news Beca. Woo Hoo!!!!!

 

[Beca]

Well...supposedly ROFR is meeting on Mondays and Thursdays...so, today is the day they should've met (and, I heard that the DID meet today)...so, let's hope there is some good news on this thread tomorrow!!

Also, when I talked to my closing company today, I asked about the "delays" that seem to be occurring from ROFR to closing, and she told me that DVC has to get them account information before they can draw up the closing documents. She said in the past, DVC got that info to the closing company pretty quickly, but now it seems to be taking 2+ weeks for DVC to get them that information. I just thought that was interesting.

We got home and the voicemail waiting for us said Disney WAIVED its ROFR!!! So we're going to be OKW owners!

BTW, re closing times. We passed ROFR on the BCV (bought direct from owner) back on 1/21. We are using Timeshare Transfer, Inc. to handle the closing. We just heard today that the new deed was sent (via mail) to the county for recording today. So I expect we won't be in DVC's system for several more weeks. I hope pre-Xmas December ressies are still going to be available by the time I call.

On your BCV contract...do not confuse having the deed recorded with the county, and being in DVC's system....they are two VERY separate things. I would start calling member services on Wed. I bet you will show up in their system Thurs, or Fri of next week.



Beca

The deed has to be recorded first before a conformed copy can be sent to members services for ownership transfer. So I figure if they are recording the deed by sending via mail (instead of using a courier), then I estimate it'll probably take at least a week (optimistically) or two for the county to process and return the conformed copy of the recorded deed to the transfer agent. Timeshare Transfer, Inc. is not located in Orlando; they are located in Vero Beach. I think they will use a courier to record if I wanted to pay for expedited service.

Is my signature all missed up? All I see are a bunch of text -- my countdown clock disappeared! I just don't know if it is my computer that's making me see the error or if everyone sees it.

This is all true, but the last time I used TCS, I was in DVC's system two days after returned the closing docs (overnighted them, $$ via wire transfer). With TTM (also in Orlando) it took a little longer (one week).

With Timeshare Transfer being in VB....you are right, it should take a little longer. But, I have never heard anyone say "several weeks".

I think (or, should I say...hope) you will be "pleasantly surprised".

The HTML has been permanently disabled on the dis. There is a thread about it on every board from Webmaster Pete or Doc...I don't remember....security reasons. That HTML will stay there until you go into your sig and delete it. It's very sad.

They have turned off the ability to use javascript (the countdown timers) and HTML. You will need to redo your signature. The good news, all of your existing posts will have your new signature.

[TinkTatoo]

We closed on our first contract on 16th Feb and we were in Disney's system Yesterday so it took 9 days

Good luck
