Closing Time!!

[DisBuckMan]

Any recent closers who can speak to whether Disney is enforcing their new policy of only releasing estoppel information two weeks prior to the stated closing date on the resale contract?

I can only speak for myself, but my experience was that this "new policy" is absolutely not true. The stated closing date on our small add-on contract was today, but we received estoppel over a month ago on the 5th of February, closed on the 12th, deed was recorded on the 17th, and points loaded into our existing contract on the 29th. So, not only did we receive estoppel well before "2 weeks before our stated closing date", we were closed and our deed recorded well before the 2 week mark as well.

I'm firmly convinced that's something they're telling people to get them to quit calling for updates all the time.

Our closing is March 17th and still don't have estoppel info yet.

So when you get your number, we should be about 2 weeks behind.
Just keep asking all the questions we need to know.

For those of you who have been through this process, is it truly about 2 months from offer to having your DVC # and able to book a trip, or longer? Just trying to be realistic over here

My first and second were both over 3 months by a week or 2

Sorry to hear it is taking so long. Ours happened rather quick. *** was our title company. The seller took a week to get the docs back and within a day or two from there docs being returned I got an e-mail from our broker saying we were recorded with the county and everything was moved onto Disney and that I should expect a 14-21 day wait to hear back from Disney. I went to the OCC site to verify I was recorded and sure enough we were there. Now even though it has only been six days we find ourselves going to the mail box the minute the post lady drives away.

Still waiting on the membership number?

We are still waiting. We are on day 14 for everything being sent to Disney. I'm hoping next week the mailman brings us that magical envelope.

The deed has been recorded? It's nice as each step passes.

Our email stated that a copy of the deed would be in the regular mail on Monday. I checked the OCC site but didn't see us there yet so I'm hoping to see it out there by Monday!

It took about 2 weeks between closing and our deed being recorded. That was slower than many others. The title company said the OCC is busy and it can be variable as to how long it takes to get recorded. Hope yours is faster than ours.

1/15 OFFER ACCEPTED
1/20 SENT FOR ROFR
2/19 PASSED ROFR
3/10 RECEIVED CLOSING DOCUMENTS

One step closer!

Awesome, down to the last hurdle with the rest of us. . . Waiting for that envelope.

 

[Chewey]

So...Saturday we got our Welcome Packet in the mail with DVC magnets, point book, and a letter about product understanding. Great to know that we are making it in the system but no letter with membership number yet. Still waiting for that magical envelope.

 

[gharter]

Bummer. You got the letter, just not the right letter. Yet.
