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

[KingRichard]

Oh c'mon - your theory is filled with logic - mine is filled with conspiracy - it's more fun!

We found out we passed on Sunday afternoon. When I called the resale agent on the Friday before, (I couldn't stand it anymore! I just needed to reassured we were close.) She told me that we were right there on the top of the stack of people who would be finding out soon. We would be "getting good news very, very soon." The thought that the ROFR decision-makers were meeting on a Saturday and then passing the information to the resale agent on a Sunday afternoon didn't make sense to me. These folks sure work hard!

I totally appreciate your point that there are a LOT of details that need to be worked out on a deal like this. When so much of it goes on so far away and seems to be fairly easy on our end, it's easy to over-simplify the process. I haven't purchased real estate of any kind for 13 years, and that process was invasive and complicated! (It's always invasive when you're financing!)

I don't like the waiting, but I sure appreciate how relatively easy this has been for us so far. It makes all of these daydreams about what we're going to do on all these vacations all that more fun!

We are at day 5 and it seems like months!

We just got back from 2 weeks at the world and 4 days on the Dream and that seems like years ago(2 weeks ago)!

Good luck!!!

I thought I'd be relieved when we passed (24 days), but when he said that we wouldn't get paperwork for another 12-15 days, it kinda killed my whoopee!

We haven't been since last year's spring break and decided to forgo this year's spring break in exchange for an early summer trip after closing on DVC. Now, when my DDs' friends are there on spring break, I'll be running around getting signatures and notary seals for our closing. Short term pain - long term gain! I know it'll be SO worth the wait!

Without the daydreaming, I think I'd have already driven to the DVC offices and demanded an answer....

Possible that they got a bunch of answers on friday, being the end of the week, and staggered telling people over the weekend so as to stagger the closings. But, I doubt Disney is lumping their responses. More likely there is just a lot of movement right now. I was surprised to see a bunch of people posting on Sunday that they just got word about getting through ROFR, I didn't think my reseller worked on Sunday! I think this is probably a 2 month period that they will never again replicate, and they are probably working endless days....

Way to go, disneyfam! I'm a week behind you -waiting on an almost identical BWV contract - just a different UY. Can't wait to get those points so I can change my December reservation from SSR to BWV!

You did great, Puffpatty, but wow - it took a long time to pass ROFR! I wonder if contracts are piling up with that 3/20 deadline almost here.

Congrat's, dbs. Are you buying at a different resort?

 

[dbs1228]

Yes we are buying 130 SSR at 59.00pp fully loaded contract! We own at BLT and bought SSR last year resale. Just made a ressie for THV so excited! We live on the east coast and we were talked into VGC by our guide because of the price (97.00 pp which was lower then BLT which we also purchased) we go to wdw every year (now more) but cannot see a 11 month advantage for Calif but cannot wait to check it out. I rationalize it that the 200+ points we used is the 1600.00 we are losing - yet gaining on the SSR contract and I am sticking to it!
