newbie here: is there generally any value in contacting DVD after deed recording to speed up the administrative process, or should i just sit tight for now? closing was a week ago and deed recorded today. thanks!

 

[LadybugsMum]

No, you just have to wait for your account to be created.

I'm in the same boat... closing was 12/21 and the deed was recorded by the next day. Just waiting so i can book my may trip...

Adding myself in. Making progress on my end... I am an existing member, so hoping points go in a little quicker since I am already in the system.

Alright I had to call anyway because my log in wasn't working or linking to MDE (too many different email addresses so they had to consolidate everything) but they added my points in!

Deed recorded so I'll post this for anyone interested, as I know these were helpful for me. Hoping we catch some luck with Disney setting things up in their system quickly so we can book a Christmas 2022 trip close to the 11-month window opening.

Updated.... Deed recorded. Hoping for contract to show up in my account and points to be loaded quickly. Looking to book for September at the 7 month window and need the extra points for the 1 bedroom that I want.

Just updated the first post and the title to reflect the new year.
Good luck to everyone in 2022 with your new DVC purchase!
HOME!

We bought 2 resale contracts and 1 direct add on contract in 2021. 🏖

 

[MickeyMice]

i've been harrassing member services to get my new (resale) account set up, and have been told it's a 2 week turnaround after they get the deed, FWIW

Yes, from what I've seen on the boards, 2 weeks is right. I just got my account set up emails last night (2 weeks from my closing date) and points loaded this morning (after calling). Hang in there!

Points in account: 1/6/2022 (1 day)

Days Total: 45 Days

All in all, I got pretty lucky with 45 days including TWO holidays and DVC annual YE quiet period.
1) It likely worked this way only because ALL parties involved were pretty efficient with turning docs and $.
2) If you look at the number of Disney TS deeds recorded around certain dates (do a search on the OC website) which gives you a sense of workflow, it's crazy; I got really really lucky.
3) Received activation code 4:20PM on 1/5. Club ID received 8:45PM after I emailed the Member ADMIN team. Note that Member Services cannot help you get your Club ID especially if you are a NEW member as they would need to verify your identity using your Member ID (which you can't see until after you activate login), address, and last 4 of your SSN. If you want your Club ID sooner, email or call Member ADMIN team before they close at 5PM EST.
4) Loading Points. Chat was not available when I called at 9:03AM. Member Services got it done. Process including 40 min hold time was about 1 hour.
