New to DVC - AP discount question

[lindybug]

We just passed ROFR on 7/30, and have "approimately 28 days" until we receive our closing documents.

We are heading to WDW on an already-planned trip 8/31-9/5. While we're there, we'd like to purchase AP's. Of course, it would be great to get the DVC discount on them.

What do you think of the timing? Wil we make it? How long does it take to be "official" DVC members, eligible for the discount on APs, once you receive closing documents?

Thanks in advance!

Our whole process from soup to nuts (bought resale, I hear if you buy direct from Disney it is faster)took 5 weeks or so. My complete timeline in reverse order was:

5/12/07 - Showed up on MS Computers, but no points showing, later in day a helpful CM put them in manually herself and I could book first reservation;

5/9/07 - Closed (Not in DVC system yet, I called to check);

5/4/07 - Seller signed and mailed in paperwork (closing agent emailed scans
of all the paperwork);

5/2/07 - Buyer Mailed in Check and paperwork;

5/1/07 - Buyer Recvd Closing paperwork;

4/11/07 - Passed ROFR;

4/4/07 - Submitted for ROFR.

Good Luck!
