Going in Oct --do you thing SSR will be sold out?

[frankiemom]

We are thinking about joining the Disney Vacation Club but probably won't be making it to FL until Oct . I wanted to see SSR before I commit do you think it will sold out by then?

They are still building, so points will be available for a long time. I heard one guess as 5 years.

Not a chance that they will be sold out by September. A Guide told me on the cruise that we were just on that it is selling strong but it isn't anywhere near selling out. He told me that SSR is 1/3 sold but I have to admit that I'm not sure if he meant 1/3 of what has been built or 1/3 of the total project. I didn't think of that question.

It would HAVE to be 1/3 of the initial four buildings.

1/3 of the total development would be 4 of the total 12 buildings. There is no way that they have sold 4 buildings worth of points. I've yet to see a poster report anything beyond Building 2 so far.

Thanks for asking, though.

FYI we purchased SSR early February and were assigned Building 3 which opens July 2004.

Cool! Thanks for the post, Suzy.

I had suspected that Building 2 was probably sold out, but yours is the first post to confirm.

Two buildings (1/6 of the total development) in about 6 months is nothing shabby.

We bought in October and are 3B. So they've been selling building #3 but haven't heard about building #4 yet.

Dee:

They actually used the letter "B" to designate units in Building #2. Don't ask me why. I haven't even figured out the entire scheme.

The bottom line is this: If your "Expected occupancy date" on your contracts is in June '04, then you have Building #2.

 

[Deemarch]

So it stands for unit 3 in B building?

 

[PamOKW]

Friends who bought last week said they can't book until July -- that leads me to suspect they must also be in Building 3.

I would expect SSR to be available for sale for at least two years and probably longer.

That's my understanding.

A couple of weeks before SSR began taking reservations in December '03, DVC sent out a letter clarifying booking dates for those who had purchased. Because they had already sold units in two buildings, some people could begin booking on May 17, while other folks had to wait until June.

In that letter, they listed the booking dates by unit number.

If memory serves, all of the units in Building 1 began with the #1 followed by a letter (1a, 1g, etc.)

However, all of the units in Building 2 contained the letter "b" (4b, 6b, etc.)

Don't even ASK me where building 1B would fall.

If all else fails, I would usually refer people to their expected occupancy date. Under the timeshare rules you cannot utilize the DVC program until your unit is declared into inventory. Thus:

May Occupancy = Building 1
June Occupancy = Building 2
July Occupancy = Building 3

Fly in the ointment...

...we bought January 28th and have been assigned building 1H which is due to open May 17th

We just bought 200 points this past week. We can't book until July and we have building 12A. What building do you think that is? I know we don't own a specific unit, but just curious as to how the buildings are selling.

When I got back to work last night I found out that one of my friends just returned from WDW and also bought points at SSR!

 

[foxinsox]

I didn't exactly ask all the details, but when we bought about a month ago we were offered options for either building one, which was almost sold out, or building 3. There was no mention of building 2, so I had assumed that building 2 wasn't yet being sold.

 

[tjkraz]

OK, I give. DVC is obviously making this MUCH more complicated than they had previously let on.

If you want to know what building you have, call your Guide.

Just wanted to share in the confusion...just checked my contract, and it says that our estimated close date is May 1, our expected occupancy is June 1, and we have an undivided 0.3503% interest of unit 3A. So, I'm confused.
