Bummer. Here's another situation suggesting that the 15 days between recording and contract showing that some of us got whose deeds were recorded around 5/20-5/21 may still be growing. And even that 15 felt unusually long--I had a contract showing within 7 days just a couple months ago.

I hope it shows up soon...

I wonder what the problem is over there. Did 1 holiday put them that far behind.

Good question--and I wish we knew so we'd have a better guess of whether it's a blip or par for the course for awhile now. I've still got one more to wait out--the one I most wanted to get access to, of course. Even had crazy thoughts of using it in August--which I seem to recall you had too

Yep trying to book something mid August. Id even settle for OKW or SSR if I have to.

Yep! Day 21 now for my 5/21 recording!

That's crazy--must be longer than your ROFR by now! Do you think an email to MA might move things along? Looks like that's worked for some people in the last few weeks. Minnie84 gave a helpful rundown of the method that worked for her:

I sent a message through my DVC account. I went to contact us, then member administration, then email us, and it had me fill out a message through there.
At first I sent a regular email to members@disneyvacationclub.com, but they emailed back saying I had to contact them when logged into my account.

I never posted my full timeline because I was traveling while my contract was closing and deed being recorded (VGC purchase). Per the OC Recorder website, I'm a 5/23 recording but still don't have the contract in my account just like the rest of us from that week.

Just here to commiserate with everyone else in the thread - my sellers took quite awhile to return closing docs, and this step is taking longer than any of my previous resale purchases. Luckily, I have no pressing need for my points.

Same here, MS confirmed they got my paperwork 5/23 and basically told me "we're working on it" when I inquired. This is my first contract so I don't even have an account yet either.

I’m in the same boat. Extra frustrating since I’m trying to book possible hard to book resorts right before seven months out. I have to believe they must have had a significant staff reduction recently for the wait times to jump so quickly. Or a lot more sold resale contracts.

If they want to make buying resale less attractive this is a good way to do it. If I had known it would take this long I wouldn't have boughten when I did.

I've given up hope about a timeline for my 5/31 recording anytime soon. Hoping for someone here to get some good news we can celebrate, and then we'll at least have some sign things are moving along.

I would still have done it because it really does save thousands and thousands of dollars but I would have not gotten excited about using my “bonus” points on my loaded contract within the year. Instead I would have planned to sell them and deferred upcoming trips within twelve months, to make life easier.

I probably would've held out til after my trip and potentially not boughten in WDW at all. I sold it to myself as Im spending $2800 on this room in August so I can essentially take that $2800 off my contract price. This is totally my bad and I knew better. But I honestly thought it would be due to everything being sold out not because all these steps would take so much time.

I was just coming to see if others around 5/23 deed recording had gotten anything from Disney about there DVC account/points. I see that I am in the same boat waiting for emails.
