Blackout period in December

[MyKindOfDisney]

Can you all please explain what the first 2 weeks of December means for those of us who have submitted a contract but haven't yet received points?

If waiting for ROFR, do those decision shut down for 2 weeks?
If ROFR is cleared but closing not completed, can you not close until Dec 16?
If the closing is completed, will you not have the deed recorded?
If the deed is recorded, can you not have a new account created with DVC and/or points deposited until the period ends?

I've searched the forums, but couldn't figure out which services specifically stop during this period or if it is all of them. Thank you, everyone!

Not sure about ROFR, but IIRC, that is not impacted.

Basically, during those two weeks, MA doesn’t process the transfer of contracts so anyone who has not had their account set up before the shut down date, won’t see anything until after Dec 16th.

The actual closing and deed recording isn’t done by DVC. It’s by the title company so that timeline won’t be impacted at all.

We have a contract waiting to be closed. The title agency mentioned they cannot close until Dec. 18th.

Our title agency said the same thing. They have all the documents and wired money from us and the sellers, but they said they won’t be able to close until the 18th.

They only work on setting up the 2026 dues in the accounts so all transfers stop.
