[longboard55]

Never could get the phone thing to work, finally got the letter. Recorded Oct 31, letter received Nov 15 so 15 days. Was able to book Bats day in May.

Deed recorded - 11/8
Contract visible - 11/15
Points available - 11/16

Very pleased with the speed of Disney's end of things this time around. We had two previous attempts at buying a contract taken by ROFR, so the speedy returns by Disney helped a bunch. Now we're just waiting on the 2018 schedule to open so we can book NYE at BLT!

Passed ROFR on Halloween - still no closing Docs.

Final timeline for my BLT add-on purchase (same use year/member number):

Offer - 10/1
Accepted - 10/2
Sent for ROFR - 10/5
Passed - 10/14
Closing Docs Received - 10/26
Returned - 10/27
Deed Recorded - 11/10 (Seller made an error on the first deed so it had to be re-executed causing a slight delay)
Contract Visible - 11/17
Points Available for Use - 11/20

I must say I was surprised with the overall speed this time around, especially considering the delay noted above. Overall it was about 30 days faster than my purchase last year at this time.

Seeing these timelines is making me jealous! Closed in late October, Deed recorded on 11/4. Hadn't gotten anything yet so I tried my luck at calling this morning, was told by the DVC rep that it was still under the sellers information and that since it wasn't in my name yet, they couldn't tell me anything about the account, but that there were some "challenges", and that I needed to contact my broker. Broker said everything went through fine, that they weren't sure what DVC was talking about. Hoping I get my letter soon, I am anxious to start planning!!

Already a member so points should load soon. All in all, very happy they closed so fast so that we didn't have to pay MF as part of closing process - much faster compared to our original purchase last year.

Points loaded 11/21/2016 (existing member)

The escrow agent was so kind as to give me the tracking number for the seller's documents so I'll know when they get to FedEx and then to the title company so I don't have to pester him for info. I wish we didn't have a pesky holiday in the mix this week. Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

Lucky! We sent our closing docs on 11/19 but the sellers still haven't sent theirs.

Our seller lives in Florida so that helped some, plus they seem as eager to get their money as I am to give it to them. Hopefully yours will get it sent back after the holiday.

This has been a long process. The title company forgot to send me my closing documents. They thought they sent them on 10/31/2016 but they never did. Then it was an uphill battle to stay informed about what was going on. Lots of contacting them to see where we were at in the process.

This was our first DVC purchase, and I don’t know if I would go with the resale company we used again. My biggest complaint was the title company they used. Lots of hiccups with them.


What information do I need to have when I call Disney to see if I can get my member and activation number? What questions do I need to ask?

Congrats and welcome home! Great to see that your's was also fast. You probably will want to give them around 9 or 10 days before calling. However, it can't hurt to try in a week if you have a little extra time on your hands. Good luck!

I guess I technically closed a week ago (holiday likely means not really) but I called yesterday just for fun and wasn't in the system yet. I'll try again Monday.

We closed on 11/23 and I phoned and used option #3 and was given my membership number and transferred to set up my account with no questions at all.

Just tried #3 and got told they can't access that until I get my packet in the mail. There were multiple options under #3, what did you choose?
