Well folks, I'm in. Thanks for all the good advice I got here. Buying via resale, I got the size contract I wanted - and saved a bit under $1,500 vs buying direct once you factor in all the closing/maintenance costs. But it did take awhile. For those curious, here's the timetable:
Day 1: Call TSS, spend 5 minutes on phone, get emailed forms to fill out
Day 2: Sign and FAX forms back to TSS
Day 3: Receive notice from TSS that contract has been sent to Disney for ROFR
Day 3: Mail deposit check to TSS
Day 11: Receive email that escrow account has been set up
Day 12: Receive notice that Disney has waived ROFR
Day 34: Receive a "just want to let you know everything is still on track" email from TSS. Told closing is set for Day 59
Day 38: Email sent with final closing document
Day 45: I finally see email with closing documents. Ooops. I guess I misunderstood when documents would arrive based on was said in the Day 34 email about a closing date, so I wasn't checking that email account.
Day 52: Send back closing documents and check. It took a bit of time to get money moved into the right account and for me to get to the bank during office hours.
Day 61: Receive email from closing company that close had happened
Day 62: Received congratulation email from salesman at TSS
Day 65: Received email from TSS saying close had happened and sent to Disney - should be in system in 10 days.
Day 66: Called MS and I was in fact in the system
Day 1: Call TSS, spend 5 minutes on phone, get emailed forms to fill out
