Closing Time!!

[jealey]

I have a cash Reservation in 2 days. My fingers are crossed. I printed the digital card, and the Grandfather email. We want to upgrade to Gold pass for next years trip while we are there. I will comment on Sunday if all goes well.

4/13 Offer Accepted
5/6 Passed ROFR
5/27 Received Closing Docs
6/2 We Closed!

I spoke to Member Administration today. They said that they're procession contracts from May 19th. I'm the 24th...so close...

If that holds up, processing 5/19 on 6/1, thirteen days, we should be processed 6/15. It'd be nice.

Good luck!

Deed recorded 5/18. 16 days and nothing in the mail yet. Seems like we should have at least got the welcome package by now, if not the member number as well...

My deed was recorded 5/4. Just called DVC again today and we're still not in the system. Yet, other people have been added to the system much more quickly. It seems to vary wildly, from contract to contract.

Forgive me if this has already been asked... Anyone "grandfathered" into the pre 4/4/16 membership benefit changes receive a membership card yet?

Did you close yet?

Yes! Finally!! Closing email came yesterday, 6/04. I guess another few weeks for the Disney documents? I haven't seen anything posted on the Orange County Comptroller's site yet.

Ok, so I am a long long time lurker, first time poster. I have learned so much from these boards that I feel the need to contribute something back. Here was our timeline for our first time resale purchase:

March 21 - Offer placed
March 23 - Offer accepted
March 30 - Submitted to ROFR
April 21 - Passed ROFR
May 10 - Closing Documents received
May 11 - Closing Documents returned
May 13 - Closed
May 16 - Deed recorded with OCC
June 3 - Welcome Packet Received
June 4 - Letter with Member number received

We see purchase of annual passes with discounts (including the gold pass) as available options on the website (though of course it does say that a valid member card must be presented at time of pick up) and are able to print the member card with the blue background from the website. Will see if we receive actual cards in the mail or not.

Hope this helps people especially those who were thrown into limbo the week of April 4th.

That's great! What a freakin process this is! It took 3 business days for our deed to be recorded, probably because of Memorial Day. I'll probably start harassing member services this week sometime!

Our deed was recorded 4/27.....still waiting. after 30 days I contacted our title company. Recieved an email from them this morning stating that Disney has just confirmed the transfer is complete. Haven't called Disney I think I'm done with the frustration will now just wait for the mail

Ours stated the same thing and I immediately contacted the broker and he told me that's what Disney is writing on all of their resale documents now, but we were still safe.

I would like to see it in writing. Back in the day agreements were made on a handshake... can't say the same for business today.

Returned docs and funds 5/3
Closing ???
Deed recorded 5/18

I never received notice of when we actually closed. The deed was notarized on 5/9 by the seller so I assume sometime last week. Now waiting for welcome package and member number

Member welcome packet received today. I assume we will get our member number in the next day or two.

Hi Did you buy direct or were a previous member? I got my packet with the magnets today, but when I called she said because I bought resale, she can't see my number as my social security is not yet on file so she can't access it.

I bought resale and this was my first DVC contract. I was told that same line about them not being able to see my number because I bought resale, so I just kept calling and finally got someone who took the time to actually look me up in the system and provide me with my number. It's so frustrating, but if you keep calling, eventually someone will help you.
