Closing Time!!

How long was this after getting your member number over the phone?
Same day, about an hour or so later. My points still are not loaded, however, as of this morning. Hopefully, later today, but at least I can see that there is some availability for our trip at the end of July.
 
Another update:

Offer accepted 3/3
ROFR sent 3/5
Waived 4/1
Estoppel Received 5/11
Closing Docs Received 5/12
Closing Docs sent priority to Escrow/Title Agent 5/13
Funds received by *** 5/26
Closed 5/28
Deed Recorded 5/29
Member Number 6/10
Account Set up and first reservation 6/10
Letter received with member number 6/18
Packet Received with Member card: 6/22
Email with Activation Code 6/22
 

I can't wait to be finished up. I am waiting for my closing docs right now, does seem like estoppel is taking a long time though. reading through all of your posts is starting to make me excited to finish the process and start making reservation.
 
Anyone close on or near the 18th of June? Thinking of making my first call on Friday, with the hope that because it is a Friday and the end of the month, that I will get Lucky. ( previous posts suggested that they do more at those times). If I can get that #, I might pray for some pixie dust to open a room up for my first stay to watch the 4th of July fireworks.....to celebrate my new DVC!
 
here is my update....
We called on Monday to try to get our member number (again) and were told we were not in the system. A helpful cast memeber said there was a problem and it looked like the previous owner still had a cruise reserved for this coming December. He said he would look into it, but we got an e-mail shortly after stating that our closing agent had been informed of the issues and all questions should be relayed to them. I called the closing agent and they confirmed that Disney was refusing to make the final transfer because the cruise was booked for 12/15. I closed 6/2 so I am the official owner. When I questioned how something like this could have been missed during ROFR, Estoppel and final point check there were no answers for me. I questioned them again today and I got a very detailed explanation of how the previous owners might lose the cruise because it can't be transfered to another one of their contracts. I pushed back and am now told the transfer will happen this morning. It is hard to believe that somethig like this could happen after the property has closed and the deed in in my name.

Perhaps you had sneaky owners that booked their cruise during the process, knowing what point things would be checked, and hoping that at the final check, no one would really check that hard. I am glad you pushed and got what you rightfully bought. Curious though if the points they said are available is the same amount you expected or if the difference is the previous owners cruise.
 
I was told that the points I paid for are not impacted. The cruise was booked with 2014 points that were not part of my purchase.

That would be awesome, don't be discouraged if they aren't there, I was tracking approx. 20 of us that closed earlier in June and on avg it was taking 10 business days.
 
Any luck today, I'm anxious to hear what you get.
Got it! Our first 3 nights we're in a 1 bed at Old Key West (never stayed before); the last 3 nights we are at AK Kidani Studio Savannah View (never stayed either). We are wait listing for Bay Lake and Jambo House. Just happy to have the process behind us, the points loaded.

Now just waiting on our member cards and trying to decide whether to buy tickets now or wait a bit longer to see if a DVC special comes out before our trip.

Are you all set?

Yes we're set, 3bdr grand villa at Saratoga.
We've bought tickets at undercover tourist the last couple of times. I don't know how they compare to DVC prices but when I looked at Disney's site we got a better deal at undercover tourist https://www.undercovertourist.com
 
still nothing for me. I will keep trying LOL


Sounds like oyu and I spoke to the same guy. He looked it up the same way for me and told me it was received on the 11 but still nothing.
3pletprincesses, any luck? Did you get your points, where and when do you want to go?
 
Now at two weeks after getting my closing documents. Just learned that the sellers had problems getting their paperwork in but that it should be mailed today.
 
So I'm joining this party! Our deed was recorded this morning after closing late yesterday afternoon. Any suggestions of when I should start calling Member Services to see if I can get my member number? It looks maybe around the 10 day mark after closing (of course I have the 4th of July to worry about as well). I'm antsy to start looking since we just booked flights for early Sept after Labor Day weekend. Crowd wise it looks very minimal and I was able to book character dining. Not super picky where we stay, I just want to see what's available.

Thankfully our sellers were on the up and up to get things going. I'm getting anxious as time gets closer to our arrival that there won't be anything left for our stay!!
