Closing Time!!

Is it normal to wait 2+ weeks to receive closing docs after passing ROFR? Checked with my broker this morning and Disney has still not sent the estoppel.
It took me exactly 3 weeks to get my closing docs after getting my ROFR notice. I had finally decided that if I hadn't received them by Wednesday (the 21 day mark), I would check in with the broker and title company. Got them first thing Wednesday morning.

As long as you are waiting anxiously for the closing paperwork, it will never arrive. Disney senses your eagerness and keeps the paperwork on hold. You have to occupy your mind with something else for a few days…this tricks their system and causes the estoppel to be inadvertently released.

Congrats. You passed us in the processes after we got our ROFR a few days before yours. Our seller took a week to send back their notarized paperwork. We closed on the 17th, that's when I sent the funds after all the sellers paperwork was in. Title company sent us an email yesterday (I am pleased to inform you that we received all the required executed documents and funds to move forward with closing for the above-mentioned contract. Dependent on the county recorder, it can take up to 2-3 business days for completion. I will send an email notification when the deed has been recorded and close of escrow. ) Hopefully by mid next week our deed is recorded. Race you to points in account!! :earboy2:

YAY! Let's go! Also, check the online deed portal! My deed was recorded the next day! I saw it there before I heard from the title agent :)

Been quiet on the closing board lately:sad:

still waiting not so patiently on my contract to show in my account and points to be loaded(Deed recorded 3/10). Reservations seem to be going fast. Guess that makes sense with 50th Aniv passing the 7month mark on March 1st.

I hear ya- My deed recorded on 3/5 and still nothing. Im hoping for this week but not expecting points to post for a few weeks after that. I have been following reservations too and they are going fast- I have points to use by August.

My email came exactly 2 weeks after my deed was recorded with my Membership being loaded and I called the next day and the extremely kind and gracious CM had my points loaded! Definitely worth a shot to ask

Its painful waiting on this end and my deed was recorded only on 3.18 lol. We have points to use by end of July. I hate seeing those waiting more than 2 weeks for their membership number. It is getting me anxious!

Two weeks with points loaded same day has been frequently reported, in the early part of March. You unfortunately obviously passed that on Friday which doesn’t give me a lot of hope for mine on the 24th!!
Whose got all the pixie dust?? We could use some over here!!!
 
At least you all got your sellers to return their paperwork...Not even international sellers

My two weeks from recording is tomorrow so I'm really hoping for emails for all of us tomorrow! Still waiting on the sellers to return their paperwork on the second contract, though, so it's not like I'll be able to book even once the first one loads.
 
What issues are you having with Aulani? We are in ROFR and now I'm nervous 😂😳
Well aside from the sellers not returning their paperwork (which there is nothing controlling that). There is special tax paperwork the state has to sign off on which adds at least 2 weeks to get back from the state after estoppel is issued. Aulani is definitely not like WDW DVC where you can close shortly after estoppel is issued. Aulani takes a bit longer. Don’t be nervous about ROFR. Disney has never bought back an Aulani resale in the recent past so I think you will be fine as they are still trying to sell it. We are under a time crunch as we have 191 points expiring in August which we would love to get rented out and trip to Aulani we would love to get booked for January. So any delay feels like a hot iron. Good luck on your Aulani purchase I will update when I know anything.
Truth! dang Aulani issues for you!
I can’t complain to much we are still under 60 days. April 2nd will be 60. My mind will be busy this next week as my 3rd child will be born so no DVC thoughts for me.

Congrats! That is exciting! Glad you have something MORE exciting to fill your time :) Here is to a healthy, happy baby and a healthy, happy family!
