[Friendlyadvice2]

Over the top excited right now!!! Title Company has Sellers paperwork!!! Here is my timeline so far:
3/6/2015 Made offer
3/12/2015 Sent to Disney for RORF
4/6/2015 Passed RORF
5/13/2015 Passed ESTOPPEL and rcvd Closing Docs
5/20/2015 Title company received my docs (buyer)
5/28/2015 Title company received Sellers Docs
Waiting on Closing
So very very excited to be this close!!!! I can't wait to book my trips!!!

Conratulatons Lakegirl! Seriously though, stay on top of this. Hopefully, they will close your file tomorrow or early next week and you can have your member number by the middle of June. The OCC is currently recording documents proofed through May 22, so they are about a week behind, but I suspect they will make up some time since they were off for the holiday this week. You'll have about 10-14 days once it's recorded to obtain your number. Good luck!!

Congrats Lakegirl. My closing hit a hiccup when the wired funds went awry, but all is well now and I should be closing today (hopefully). Home stretch for both of us

Anmay27 was wondering where you went! Haven't heard from you in awhile. Sorry to hear about the wire issue but so happy to hear that you are close as well!!!!

Thanks for the info guys on TT&M. They have never mentioned anything to me about sending it back to Disney a 3rd time. A few months ago I had stuff close with them and there was never this long delay in between them receiving the docs and closing the file. I think it'd be weird for them to start a new part of the process nowadays, esp when they know this process is getting longer and longer.
So I emailed the new closing assistant Wednesday (pm me if you want his info), and he responded in less than 24 hours and immediately closed the file. It's almost like they have a big pile of contracts sitting there and they won't close it until you give them a little kick in the butt! hah

Summabreeze I don't know how to PM, is it Alex you're dealing with? When he answers the phone he always tells me we're closing within the next day or 2 and he also says he'll call me back once we close and then he never does.

Here is the dreaded email from TT&M saying it has to go back to Disney. Note that they've had our closing docs and money since 5/7, its been 3 weeks. We just got this email yesterday:

"Hello,

I have received your documents. At this time we have requested the
final updates from Disney for point status and final updates from Disney's
accounting department. Once we have this information from Disney we will be
in a position to close.

Thank you,

Jaqueline Hernandez
Contract Administrator

ugh! after having financing fall because they didn't want to work with the closing company, rushing and loosing sleep to find the money to be able to close in time, I find out today that all documents have been received and send for closing BUT the seller was asked for further information about her deceased DH this morning and she will need to provide a certified death certificate. Now any guess how long this will take?

Sorry to hear that, hopefully it won't take too long

Still here, patiently waiting on my member number to come in the snail mail. I'm seriously struggling with not calling to see if we're in the system yet, but I've got no rush now. We are booked on cash stays, June, Sept & Nov. So we'll just have to take a trip in the spring now 4 uses of our PAP's are better than 3, right??

85 days and still counting.

We purchased direct from Disney. Signed all papers and dated for May 19th. How long until we are officially closed? I know we had a 10 day window to change our minds. Thanks for any info...first time buyers here.

Since you went direct, you should have a guide allocated to you, who can help you out. I thought you could back out within a specified time, but would be able to book a vacation immediately.

You should have been able to book right away-I think techincally closing takes about a month but they allow you to book points in advance of closing

I am already booked for January...looking for thoughts or experiences on closing times. I was able to book before I even got the paperwork to sign.

I'm right there with you. I think it's been 12 days since our deed was recorded.

It is so HARD and frustrating, but it's good we have our little support group here that helps me resist the urge to call DVC more than once every couple days. Our deed was recorded on 5/13 and still nothing. If the points aren't there today, we are going to miss the 7 month window for a trip we were trying to squeeze in at the end of the year.

Buying direct, it doesn't really matter. The reason people are tracking their closing times is because they're anxious to get access to their account so they can book a reservation. That doesn't apply to direct purchases.

We're planning for mid Feb so hoping we get our stuff in time for that (we should).
