Closing Time!

Well I have an update on the last two contracts we are waiting for (closed as one transaction). They recorded in OC CA on 7/26. When I called yesterday and asked why I can see the two extra on my dues page and why the add on page shows the correct totals (for the three contracts in my VGC use year) I was told that there is a bug with my membership (for the VGC contracts) and they had an IT ticket open to resolve the issue.

Has anyone else had this happen? They said they aren't sure when it's going to get fixed. I mean, I don't need the points soon. But I'd still like to see them loaded to make sure the 2023 points I paid for load as expected.

On day 66 we closed and the deed was recorded! Now to wait for our account to be created (this is our first DVC purchase) and the points to be loaded so we can book our trip for next year!
 
"Congratulations your deed has been recorded" - sent by broker 2 days ago. It's for AKV.
How long does it usually take to show on the Orange County comptroller website?
Thank you!

I got the email from Mason about closing yesterday. Comptroller website showed it this morning.

Controller claims to process most documents same day if received during business hours. Next day is close enough for me.

It's been 3 days since the broker told me the deed was recorded and it's still not showing on the comptroller website.

Did anyone have a similar delay?

Thank you!

Sharing this info in case people have reservations about the title company. While I paid for closing costs, the broker wouldn't let me choose a title company (originally wanted Mason, but Mason wasn't one of their "approved title companies", whatever that means). I searched and searched info about Duncan Title but couldn't find anything recent (there was a post about them here back in 2015/2016). In the end, they were easy to work with, very responsive and friendly!

——————————

Random questions from a first time buyer… Do the buyer & seller get closing documents at the same time? Will Cammy typically notify me when she gets the documents back from the seller? I’m assuming the closing date can be moved up from the estimate in the contract if things are moving ahead of schedule? My estimate was 10/10/22. It’s loaded with double points so not like they have a trip that would delay closing.

After sending in my documents, there’s not really anything for me to do until I get the info for my account, right? And that info comes as an e-mail and letter from Disney??

My initial desire was to have points in time to book for Wine & Dine 2023 but if I could have them by my birthday on 10/17 and in time for before the 7mo mark for an early summer trip, that’d be fabulous!

She will notify you once it’s closed and will close it as soon as everything is in. Yes, buyer and seller get them the same time but seller needs to have them notarized so they sometimes take longer to return.

Assuming it closes quickly, there is a good chance your account will be set up and ready to go by that date.

I’d be so frustrated…
 
It's been more than two weeks since our deed was recorded, and still crickets from DVC. Has anyone had any luck contacting DVC directly to get their membership number and activation code processed? I'm hoping we'll get it either this evening or tomorrow morning, as that would be 16 days...

Same for us!! Judging by others in this thread, I figured we’d get an email on Tuesday. Still nothing. I’m so impatient and excited to get planning!

Deed recorded 8/25 still nothing from Disney. I called and they said they couldn’t help me since I didn’t have a member number and advised waiting 30 days.

Well, to be fair I have no idea why it's taking a long time. They could be in the hospital or worse. Nevertheless, once we pass the deadline I'll have to pull out if they don't communicate something. I'll be disappointed, but it doesn't affect any big plans over the next year.
