how long til Disney responds on resales?

[amee]

I just got word from Bruce at the Timeshare Warehouse, that our offer had been accepted by the seller and that it was now being sent to Disney.......How long does it usually take for Disney to respond.....? Just trying to figure out how much LONGER til we can start really planning!

Thank much!

On my resale it took about 3 weeks to hear back from Disney. What Jaki told me was that was about average. Some of it depends on when you get your paperwork into Disney. They seem to work a week at a time. So, if you hit it wrong it could be longer.

Disney returned on the right of first refusal within 7 days from the day it was sent until we found out. That part went very quick for us. We had been prepared for a lengthy wait because it was around the time BCV started selling and they said DVC was swamped. We had hoped that it would continue rapidly, but it didn't. We had some snags in closing and the sellers were not very fast in returning paperwork. Good luck to you and hopefully Disney will be speedy!

We just had one (with Jaki) that was at Disney for 3 full weeks. Just wired the money today.

I've been told that the Disney Resale Board meets every week (I believe on Wednesday) to decide on exercising the right of first refusal. I think part of the variability in decision timing is the time it takes for the resale broker to actually get the documents to DVC, and the amount of follow-up they do after the Board meeting to get the answer back to you.

As an example, if you had an offer accepted by the seller today, and your resale agent gets the paperwork in DVC's hands by Friday, it could be reviewed next Wed and, potentially back to you by email next Friday. On the other hand, if the resale broker just puts it in an envelope, it misses the mail tommorow, doesn't get to DVC until Monday, it might miss the meeting next week.

Jaki was very good in handling our resale Purchase. I'd suggest you ask your resale person how / when they delivered it to DVC (e.g. hand delivery, Fed X overnight, snail mail) and push them a bit, IF you have a need for a really fast decision. If you don't plan to use points until next summer, then let it take the normal path.
