Yeah, I'm dreading it. I'm so impatient! I will breathe at least one big sigh of relief when I hear if it passes ROFR. I've noticed a lot of people lately have been hearing by day 6 or 7. So I guess we'll see what happens. When it (hopefully) passes, will I get an email from the title company or from https://dvcsales.com/?

So close. Good luck! My agent sent me an email the day it passed RofR. They updated each step either the same day or following morning.

What Restrictions ? Your only restriction is you can't use those points at Riviera. A DLV purchase on the resale market would only be able to use those points at DLV

My brain has to pause every time I read DLV instead of VDH….

For resale: VGC can use VGC and AUL. VDHVDL will just be VDH. Edited

That’s just regarding west coast properties though.

Your broker, for me it was Lori Webb.

Before putting in an offer, I had been emailing some questions to Lori but then my offer accepted email was from Mark. So I guess I'll be keeping an eye out for an email from him. It would be great to get through ROFR before the weekend!

It was the exact same for me.

this gives me anxiety. I've seen so many variations for Grand Cal. VCG, CGV, CGHV, VCGH, GCHV...... For VDH, I actually like DLT. Sounds less like a venereal disease.

 

[ClaraOswald]

I think I type VCG by accident a lot.

I never thought about the VD part of VDH before.....

I remember a couple months ago when I asked my wife, a former CM, if she had booked our “ADR’s” yet. She stopped cold, looked me straight in the eye, and said “you need to spend less time on DISBoards”.

DLT ... it's like the BLT of DL!

DLT ... it's like the BLT of DL!

And the walking distance is comparable!

Too much like "ADO"...

You might know as soon as today.

FWIW, I was told that DVC is approving ROFR faster than Mason Title can complete background checks. So, expect for the paperwork to take a bit of time before it gets emailed over to you. Then it can take a while for the sellers to get the paper documents, get them notarized, and return them to the title company. Then it will take at least 2 weeks for Disney to create a membership…

So, it’s a process….

I was told ROFR waivers are coming well before the 10 day recission period so title companies are waiting until day 11 to issue closing docs.

That is a very interesting point as well. I’m still trying to process my bungled Fidelity ROFR that took 6 weeks vs the current one that took 3-days…

You can't buy VDH resale either, direct points at VDH are fully unrestricted and likely will be cheaper to buy than VGC resale is today. That's a more interesting conundrum.


If you are asking what will be worth more in 10 years, VDH resale or VGC resale? Yes, much more likely the later. Whether it will be way below the delta remains to be seen. I do think VDH resale will hold onto more of its value than the average WDW resort. And if it doesn't that sort of erodes half of VGC's allure (being the only current accessibility to an entire resort).

The more I have seen the VDH theming, the more I have no desire to stay there. VGC all the way!

I think many would still prefer VGC, unfortunately the price for a resale contract is still prohibitive and likely overpriced.

1) It is very expensive.
2) VDH will not cost that much less.
3) What makes you say it is “overpriced”?

Overpriced relative to other DVC. It is driven by scarcity at DLR with the price doubling in 3 years, it was overdue to crash back down to earth. Most other resorts have now unwound their pandemic ramp up.

If VDH floods the system and we start seeing resale contracts in a more reasonable window, like 150$, I'm not sure if VGC pricing can really stick. If VDH also has rooms bookable by SAP at 7 months that will devalue the entire resort as a whole.

Even the amortized cost boggles my mind, but somehow people justify it as a savings against the jaw dropping cash prices. I realize I am discussing this with a bunch of recent VGC converts.

I'd also start with the old timeshare adage that direct in general is always overpriced, so VDH is coming in overpriced as well.

Are you a WDW based person?
