Disney files a "Satisfaction of Mortgage" notice with the Orange County Comptroller (OCC) when individuals have paid off their mortgage. Disney normally batches its submissions and they usually post to the OCC once a month. On February 17, 2011, 539 Satisfactions appeared, on March 2, 2011, another 585 notices were filed.
To see if your Satisfaction Notice has been filed and recorded, go to the OCC website at
https://officialrecords.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/docSearch.jsp. On the Search screen, enter your name in the Grantee field in Last First order (such as Washington George). If your name if fairly common and you get a lot of hits, you can narrow the search by entering Disney in the Grantor field, and/or enter a range of dates in "Start" and "End" date fields. Records that meet the search criteria will then appear. Once you find the record you want, then click on the link labeled "Add to my Images" that is on the right side of each record. Then, in the left margin of the screen is a section labeled "My Images" showing the records you have added. Click on "Download My Images." The records will then appear as a PDF that can be downloaded to your Mac or PC.
Trust me, its simpler than it might sound.
BTW it doesn't cost anything to search the OCC site and download records.
Good luck, and Congratulations!!
