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

[DisneyRose]

Called today and found out we passed on the 1st of March. Guess no one was going to call us. Been dealing with Amy at timeshare closing services and she does not want to answer any of our questions. Hope know one else has to deal with her.

 

[monami7]

we havn't heard yet either and are using the timeshare closing services, what is there # and are they open on saturday? We submitted on feb. 25 and have heard nothing.

Well it looks like I'm going to be in the next 'batch' of contracts Disney is looking at, at least using Beca's list of 'when submitted' to ROFR. Beca...you and I are pretty close in our submits to, although I don't think mine got to Disney until after President's Day (2/22).

I'm not concerned about how long it takes to close, if it passes ROFR...but I wish that AFTER closing we could start making ressies right away....cause I'd like to bop in and see my new home away from home in May. But from what is posted here...since I'm trying resale, it might be 2 more weeks after closing before i get in the system. Is that about right?

I can see now where those who have been ROFR 'd give up...it isn't so much the ROFR as how long the whole process takes if you have to start over.
Maybe I could just get someone here who is selling some points to adopt me...and then we could do a transfer quick claim instead of a sale!!!!
I mean...both my mum and dad are dead, so I am technically an orphan aren't i?

Darn, I was hoping to use our (yet to be "our) points that expire in October for our May trip. But our contract is still at the resale agent, waiting for a final sig. So this is probably not going to happen?

May have to try for that one-time exception to bank points late- and see if it really exists!

Called today and found out we passed on the 1st of March. Guess no one was going to call us. Been dealing with Amy at timeshare closing services and she does not want to answer any of our questions. Hope know one else has to deal with her.

I received a call from the TSclosing co either on the 1st or 2nd. I had left them a message about an earlier contract about to close last week. It was Amy. She seemed very pleasant, but I didn't have any questions to ask her about the newer contract. The phone call was short and all she said was, "...I'm calling you to let you know that Disney has waived their rights to purchase the contract for *** **". I've dealt with Amy, Damaris and Nancy K. They have all been very pleasant etc...I received an email from my agent at the TSS this morning with the same news. Not making excuses for anyone, because we've all been anxiously waiting for any ROFR news, but this is perhaps the busiest time for DVC resales. I did ask my agent when Disney would have let them know, and she said that about a week ago, she had checked on my contract and they still didn't have word from Disney. Within a couple of days, Amy called with the news. So, I don't know if she would have called as promptly if I hadn't left a message, or my agent hadn't checked into it.

With my earlier contracts, I called the TSS about the ROFR status, and was surprised that they were already on the ROFR pass list! I received a call, finally, from the closing company days later with the same news! I was told that the news on ROFR goes to the closing company 1st, then TSS agents find out. My agent did tell me that she usually lets the closing company notify the client since they get the info. first. In the past, she's made redundant phone calls to her clients. I asked her to always let me know just incase I don't get a prompt phone call from the closing company.

Congratulations, by the way!! Hope your closing is a speedy one!

 

[ColoradoBelle1]

Seems like they could just have us ALL on the emai list...so when Disney ROFR'd it went to anyone involved with the contract who was listed by email.

Hmmmm...in a perfect world!

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

Congratulations, DisneyRose!!! I know how hard the wait is! It would be nice if we could deal with someone who realizes the magic in this for us

If this is your first contract or not:Welcome Home!!!

First timer, what fun you all seem to be having here. Submitted 2/17 for 350 points at BCV @ $83 per point. Looking forward to a new home with good freinds. Patiently waiting on ROFR

 

[jnrrt]

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it took to be in Disney's system after you passed ROFR and what the process was? Thanks.

You should be hearing about ROFR any day now! Have you called your agent?

I have BCV points for Spring and Summer vacations mainly. It hasn't been that long ago that I was the newbie with BWV points. I was nervous about passing ROFR and called my agent to up my offer! Can't wait to stay at the BCV!!

 

[Scratch42]

Well, let's hope today brings some good news!

Pixie Dust!

BTW, I counted 10 new Grey Hairs!LOL

[rdcoffee]

This thread that Beca is doing such a fine job with actually makes it easier for me to wait! When you make a decision like this it is hard if you do not understand the process. I am not sure that I do understand it but, I think I do. With thoughts like this one I need a vacation.
I like the way Jason at the TSS is working with us

 

[Beca]

Good morning everyone!!!

rdcoffee - thanks for the compliment!!! You are now added!!!

monami7 - I'm sure things are progressing "on schedule" for you. If you submitted on 2/25, you might hear this week, and you might not hear until next week. Follow your name up the waiting list. When there are others in front of you who submitted earlier still waiting to hear....don't panic, DVC just hasn't gotten to you. Now, when you make it to the top of the list, and have others "passing" around you...then you might begin to wonder if something happened.

Iankh...Sorry....VWL is still showing up on my account this morning!! They LIED!!!!

Beca:

I forgot to provide the price in my initial post for the 150 pts at BWV. My purchase price is $78/pt with no points borrowed or banked. The contract was submitted to Disney on 2/28.

Thanks for keeping this up. It's very helpful in giving you an idea of when to expect a decision and what prices will pass ROFR.

RWinNOLA

 

[Blue&Gold]

For those of you tracking the process, we finally closed today on our BWV contract... So roughly 15 or so days from Contract submission to ROFR, then about a month until closing. Jaki tells us that we need to wait 10ish days to contact DVC to get our member number. Figure 8 weeks from start to finish... We're pretty excited, but do wish it was a shorter process. I'm Active Duty Navy, and I've received orders to a new assignment, bought a house, sold the old one, and moved in less time!

 

[iankh]

Well, it’s all done. A couple of whirlwind days!

<o =""></o>I am now officially in the system, and I also did a small add-on directly with DVC. For a small number of points (37 in my case) it was cheaper to do it all directly through Disney as a resale with the closing costs factored in came out higher.

<o =""></o>I have also booked a 1 bdrm for August for my birthday bash. What a relief to be completely through the process!

<o =""></o>So, if you’ve seen my surveys, you know I love facts and real data rather. So here goes:

<o =""></o>1/27 – made offer on VWL resale

1/28 – contract went to Disney for RFOR

2/9 – passed ROFR

3/3 – closing completed and documentation sent to Disney

3/7 – in membership system

3/8 – add-on completed, first booking made

<o =""></o>Total elapsed calendar days from offer to entry in system = 40 calendar days

Total elapsed business days from offer to entry in system = 28 business days

 

[jnrrt]

Congratulations! And your survey is very interesting. Also gave me a lot of ideas about what to do if other people want to come with us, and how members work that.

Glad you got your room in August!

Now I'm just a bit bummed that it really takes that long! Always thought I was a patient person, but it's not been as easy with this. Oh well, all things come to an end, even the waiting!

 

[rdcoffee]

Made it past ROFR 3/8 submitted 2/17 350 BCV @ $83.00. Thanks to Jason @ TSS for calling. Beca you must be right there also? This is way cool!!! I'll let you know when we clear the next step

 

[LauraLea]

YES!! Just heard from Jason too. We passed on our BWV contract. This one had me a little worried. So happy we passed! Now the wait begins again for closing............
