Closing Time!!

[DisneyMom_3]

Man, today I have received emails from:
Disney Destinations ("Disneyland is open!")
Two from Disney Cruise Line ("Check out the Disney Wish!" and "an Important Update about your October Cruise")
Disney Account Member Services ("New sign in on your Disney Movie Rewards account")
The Disney Food Blog

Every time I see 'Disney' in the From field I get very excited, only to crash back down again... That Disney Account Member Services one really got me...

Did you hear yet?! Your deed recorded on the 15th too, right?

Woo hoo!! It's official! I just got my emails!!!!

Estoppel Received: The closing docs came 3 weeks after passing ROFR, but based on their behavior, I have no reason to believe it took that long for the Title company to receive the Estoppel. For alI know it came back from Dinsey in 3 hours and the Title Company just dragged their feet on that as well. All the other Estoppels seemed to be coming in about 8-10 days at that time.

So we’re looking about 17 days then now if on high end? Just moved into the group of waiting for contract and points to load. So happy for you that your journey is finally over!

If you scroll up, you can see a LONG post I made that shows how many day from deed recorded to a membership account being created. I was so bored last night and logged a bunch of recent data. The recent pattern is 17 or less days. The previous month, it was a little higher. I work with data for a living, so it was kind of fun.

wow @iannovich it took your sellers a lot longer to get their closing docs in!

It felt like each step took longer than what seemed to be the (then) current average. And the title company didn't check with the sellers on getting their docs back until I poked at them, with only a week reamaining before the contractual closing date.

So far day 48.. even with another 17 days for contract to show and points to be added will still be shorter process than my first contract last year. The long 40-45 days ROFR timeframe was a killer so glad things are moving along nowadays.

This is a really good idea and very informative!
Maybe you should make this a new thread similar to the ROFR thread that is updated quarterly!
Since I started this process, I constantly checked the ROFR thread and this closing time thread.

 

[timff18]

Are you on the west coast?

nope, east coast (in NY).

We also had a Saturday ROFR, so maybe we are not the norm

 

[DisneyMom_3]

Still nothing! I don’t even know how many “Disney” emails I have received today about the new discount! Each time I see anything Disney, I get so excited and then realize it isn’t what I’m waiting for! I’m on day 18 waiting for my membership. Today is my 7-month window for our next trip.

 

[Letsoflyakite]

Update for those curious. Deed recorded April 12th, no membership, no points loaded, No email response from member admin, member services says they (member admin) have no way of seeing if my deed was sent to Disney and no tracking of which cast member has my file.....more on that later.

Called the title company, says deed received to Disney on the 13th of April, will call a supervisor at members admin that she works with and call me back tomorrow on any sort of status.

So, this is my beef, I don't mind if Disney takes 15-30-45 days to load my resale membership, but it is not acceptable that Disney cannot confirm the existence of hard or electronic paperwork in their system even though they worked with the title company on the estoppel and closing papers.

This is a serious flaw/gap in the system in my opinion.

Anyways, here's hoping for something this week.

How much is the add-on discount?
Add-on-itis is real!!

I didn't get a discount. I only bought 32 point, though!!

OH wow!! That is so frustrating. I called this morning at 9:00 am and spoke to MS. They loaded my points while I waited on hold. The person I spoke to said the person who loads points had been away for a few days, so it was taking them longer to find my contract. Maybe the person is on vacation? That is sooooo frustrating! I'm sorry you are going through this.

It's a great idea. I just don't want to "own" the process since I'm "retiring" from resale. I did make the Google doc editable for anyone, so anyone can take up the job! I was just really board on Friday.....and I love data trends!
