Disney bought the contract

[bobbiwoz]

...and so we'll have to try again. This was for 250 points at the WLV.

I've been reading these boards for about a month, and I now realize that I should have come on and asked for pixie dust. You better believe I will when we try to buy a contract again.

PD and Best Wishes to both of you. Hang in there - it will happen!

 

[Maistre Gracey]

Good luck to both of you, and sending the PD!

 

[floridafam]

Hang in there. I'm also sending PD.

bobbiwoz,

May I ask what use year the contract was for?

 

[Nink]

....and how much you offered for points.

I am in the process of buying 100 pts at OKW and am waiting for Disney right now.

I hope I get it.

I'm curious about the use years for both resorts also. I'm on the waitlist for points (December use year) for both resorts.

Thanks

The use year for the 250 WLV was Sept. and the contract was for $67, just about what the seller was asking for. There was some negotiation regarding paying the closing costs, and the seller was paying all of the closing cost. Now I've read that that's an incentive for Disney to buy.

Sending PD....I'll wish really hard for you too!

 

[ayimapt]

My contract was for $67 as well and 230 points, April. The seller was going to pay closing costs.

Seems like one really doesn't negotiate with the seller, but really with Disney....

I lost my first resale several months ago. Tried to buy at OKW.

I gave up and bought from Disney at BCV.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Well, we didn't know that, but we've taken a page from your book, Tom and I have contacted Michelle, a Disney Guide, and will be buying at BWV and will waitlist for 50 at WLV. We'll find out tomorrow what use year the BWV will be!

Thanks everyone for the PD !

Sorry to the original OP.

june@imsarc.com, I'm also on December use year waitlist for VWL. Have you been told where you are on the list and how long have you been waiting? I'm trying to decide if I shoudl go ahead with a BCva dd on instead. Thansk!

My understanding from my broker is that, almost everything that is offered under $69, Disney is buying. That way they can put it back in the pile and start again.

The only problem with buying additional points from Disney, is if you already have a contract, any purchase you make has to have the same use year for all contracts. I inquired about my use year of August, and my guy said that there was nothing at any of the Disney properties for August. So, I decided to go with the brokers.

Oh NO! IM so sorry. We're waiting on Disney right now....

Sorry to hear that! Here is some advice to help you get past ROFR on your next contract. I called the broker and asked him what Disney seems to look at when determining to buy it.
Here was the conversation:

Broker: "How much are you paying"

Me: "$72.00 a point"

Broker: "You should be OK with that."

Me: "It comes with 150 banked points, will that entince them?"

Broker: " Banked points are not usually the deciding factor. What you are paying for maitenance fees is what can make you sink or swim"

Me: "I am paying half of 2003 maitenance"

Broker: " eeew, that is where you will have to worry. If you were paying all of the maitenance fees, you would probably be all set."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, luckily, Disney passed on my contract. But, what the broker was trying to say is, Disney would more than likely pass on a contract if the buyer had to pay all or most of the maitenance fees. So, if you wanted to offer to pay all or most of the maitenance fee's you are pretty much securing the contract. I am not saying definitely, I am just saying you will give yourself better odds.

Good luck!

lenshanem--I've been on the OKW and WL waitlist for about 6 months. On OKW we started at 26 and are now 5. For WL we started at 32 and are now 15 (as of today). My guide said that the WL moves very slowly compared to the rest of the resorts because it is so small. I know December Boardwalk points are available. My guide is checking how many BCV points are available--he thinks that there are only about 280, but he is to call me tomorrow with the definite number. I'll keep you posted.

Hope this is helpful!

Tough break on the contract. Good luck on the next offer. Pixie dust is on the way

 

[emacman]

Sorry to hear that. Well things happen for a reason...maybe with all the Pixie dust your getting you really find the one of your dreams! So I'll send PD too in case you need more.

I just sold 150 OKW points thru Shontell Crawford for $67 per point with me paying all the closing costs and had no problem. I can't understand why Disney held up these other contracts.
