Closing Time!!

[allison plevrakis]

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!!

Congrats on your closing! What size villa do you need? It seems like Saratoga Springs is usually available.

Thanks! We are so excited and even more excited after seeing what 2016 resort prices look like. Just a studio. It's just my husband and me going. I figured we could grab something at SSR without an issue but was hoping for something just a little bit more convenient. We'll literally take anything we can get though

If you're willing to spend more points for a 1 bdrm it opens quite a few other possibilities in September.

Any luck Dawn?

Nope.
Finally gave in to the excitement and have been calling once a day all week. Member accounting insists they don't have access, which can't be right, but I'm not gonna argue. After a 35 minute wait time, I just had to laugh when she told me no access. At least she was super sympathetic....I had been pretty lucky on wait times up to my June 5 closing/deed recorded so I guess I was due for a little frustration. I know this is soon going to be a memory, but it's been a long road!

I'm about a week behind you. I'm interested to hear when you get your member number! Are you planning on calling or just waiting for your letter?

What day did you show up on the occ site? http://or.occompt.com/recorder/web/?

That stinks : ( I wonder what the hold up is. At this point you should have your letter in the mail.

I closed 5/28, recorded 6/1, Disney received docs 6/4, and I got my member number/online login/activation code 6/22, points loaded 6/23. I have not received our member letter yet however. Good luck to you to get it soon! I would try calling a couple of times today.

 

[BuzzyBelle]

Congratulations to everyone who finally got their numbers! Good luck to everyone still waiting. Although the process of calling to get our number was less than magical every CM we have spoken to since has been wonderful. We were able to stalk the dvc site and find availabilty at our home resort of BCV and a few days at PVB for our Aug trip and the CMs were great in helping us change our reservation, wait list a night and get everything set. I don't know what the hold up is in the resale process and if it's genuine or artificially created to make the resale process less desirable, but since officially becoming members we have been treated very well. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Thank you!! This is a great list for us to see the timeline. I almost feel guilty calling to try for my number, seeing that many who closed at the first of June are still without their number, but I keep hoping I get lucky. Just for giggles (and practice), I called yesterday at 4:30pm (8days post closing/entered on OCC site) and got the newest spiel of Disney limits what we can see...we can't see your number until 2 weeks past you receiving your number in the mail. I was very polite, and asked if she would at least look it up and see if it was there, that she didn't have to give it to me, just let me know if she saw it. HMM.....magically, she could actually check for it...sadly it was not there. May wait till Monday to try to call, that will be the 12th day.

Let me know if you call for your number, and get it, or get it in the mail.

 

[pangyal]

We recorded on June 11 for our BWV contract and nothing has happened yet. We are existing members so apparently the new contract will show up as a drop-down option (different resort and UY), but the CM I spoke to today was a complete tool so I'm not sure what the actual process will be or when it will actually merge with our existing membership.
