Since I wasn't planning on using these points until this week anyways for booking November 2022 I thought I'd just wait it out to see if they'd load my points by now without having to call. Turns out they didn't so I had to call MS two times until a CM was able to help.

Some people on the boards previously noted they had poor experiences with Marcelo. This was our first DVC purchase so we didn't know what to expect, and reading some of the less-than-A+ reviews had me nervous. To be fair, Florida real estate feels like the Wild West -- just a few months ago we moved down from Boston and bought our condo in Miami from afar and had a heck of a time navigating everything. In contrast, the resale DVC purchase was much easier. In our case, Marcelo was responsive via email when I had specific questions and at various stages of the process, and he was quick to replace the buyers documents when there was an error. The broker was a little quicker to respond to my emails, but usually not by much. Now it's left to Disney to hurry up and get us our membership and points so I can book my birthday Welcome Home trip!!

12/27 ETA: Deed recorded date + days total

1/5/22 ETA: contract showing date. I received an activation code email, and then the II email, but 3 hours later didn't receive a Club ID. Fearing I had been forgotten and would never receive my Club ID, I emailed wdw.dvc.dvd.resales@disney.com, and received it within 20 minutes. Made my account and now I'm waiting on my points! And now I get what everyone says about the DVC member website never working!!

We passed ROFR a week ago, still haven’t got any paperwork or contact at all from title co (mason), this isn’t normal is it?

I had my closing paperwork and instructions on how to wire the money within a few hours of passing ROFR from Mason. I'd email them and see what's going on. We passed ROFR on 12/9

I just called broker and he told me disney just released estoppel today. So they are contacting mason for me.

I know Disney's resale office was closed from 12/8-12/20 so maybe that affected it. Glad they are getting things moving for you now!

How do you know when your deed is recorded?

Oh nevermind, I looked it up on the comptroller's website

 

[Sandisw]

How do you know when your deed is recorded?

Go to the Orange County Florida comptroller's site to search (assuming you bought a WDW resort).

I’m glad you asked this, we are in the same boat. Passed ROFR a week ago and crickets since. They did say to allow 3-4 to get closing documents though . Looking at others timelines it’s normally not that long, I’ll just keep stalking my inbox every hour lol!

I also passed last week and still haven't gotten my closing docs yet. I suspect I won't get them until next week with the holiday so close.

My email said that too. So I called and said what the heck, we’ve done this many times and never waited 3-4 weeks for paperwork. They said because disney was “closed” they just got our estoppel, and then hung up with me and called title company to get things moving. Yesterday he called and told me they got the closing stuff and something was wrong and they had to send back to get corrected and we should have by Friday. Don’t be afraid to call and ask.
