DID IT AGAIN.....Just added points before the promotion ends.

[Hollowellfam6]

Well we did it again, added 100 points to our collection. This time it's at Vero Beach, our normal June trip. Now we can go comfort free 2 times a year now....Thank GOD we bought annual passes.....

We Can't get enough of it.....

Congratulations! Given your reference to buyiing "before the promotion ends," I assume you purchased directly from Disney. If so, can I ask what UY you selected? (We have a 100 point Sept UY resale contract for Vero pending ROFR right now.)

 

[Hollowellfam6]

Sure the financing i get from Disney, instead of locating my own financing. Plus what is you contract price per point, I paid $80/point. That's the main reason, plus right of first refusal for Disney kind of makes it a crap shoot.

 

[mrebuck]

Makes sense. We aren't financing, so that was not an issue with us. Our price was $50 per point, but now we are waiting for the ROFR decision -- definitely not fun. I am worried Disney may exercise their ROFR to satisfy your contract request. (Definitely not something in either of our control.) That's why I was wondering what UY you chose. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you didn't choose September.

 

[Hollowellfam6]

Good luck, I know what you mean with a $50 I would say ROFR will be enacted as Disney doesn't like to have that much difference in valuation.

We actually get a better interest rate if we go thru Disney, so I did look around for financing options, but couldn't find any. I'll pay a bit more to use their money for 5 years then pay it off.....That's what we did with our last points.

Enjoy Vero Beach - we stayed there for the first time this summer and fell in love.

Congratulations and enjoy Vero Beach. We also stayed there for the first time this summer and loved it.

I think you have a great chance of passing ROFR, Disney has not been buying back very many contracts. Below is from the ROFR thread VB that has passed some in the 30.00 range:
