QUESTION - Amount of time to buy with incentives after taking a tour??

[Blueyed Girl]

Hopefully this is my last question......


We took a DVC tour on Thursday and got all the paperwork to take home, etc. DH and I are looking over everything and our final decision is coming together quickly. However, I just spoke to my "guide" to ask one more question and was told that I only had 3 days from the tour to be able to get the incentives we spoke about. IS THIS TRUE?? He just told me he can try and extend time for us a few more days. Is he pulling my leg or is this true? I got this response when I asked how long the incentives that are going on right now were lasting.

We weren't planning on waiting long but we do need to wait for a bonus check from DH's job.


Has anyone ever heard of this?? I find it odd that he did NOT tell us this on Thursday when we took the tour.

Yes, in the past they have been pretty adamant about the 72 hour guarantee for any incentives offered during the tour.

If you allow the 3 days to expire, there is also a chance the same incentives would be available, but they will not guarantee that beyond 3 days.

Good luck with your decision.

Hmmm, I'm just wondering why he sent us home without telling us about the 3 days. Does not make much sense to me. Also, had I known this before the tour, I would not have taken the tour. I would have looked everything up via the internet then made my decision. Not too happy right now. I don't like feeling forced.

I've actually heard that before too that Disney was only giving 3 days. However, my personal experience (we bought in March, 2009) was that we were given 60 days to get our paperwork finalized and get the deposit paid (we signed our paperwork the day that we did the tour). Our Guide specifically told us that if we wanted past 30 days all we had to do was call. However, things have changed since March, so, if your Guide is telling you that's the case, it might really be (however, I find it hard to believe that DVC would walk away from a willing buyer opposed to just waiting a couple of weeks). Still, I guess that, from DVC's perspective, they don't want you sitting on paperwork indefinitely, and want you to either be in the "paperwork signed and waiting to be closed" pile or the "not doing it" pile. Either way, I hope it all works out for you.

Yes, I'm thinking it may still be the same as when you did it. He just wants us to buy ASAP if we are going to buy. However, I've taken a deep breath and calmed down a bit, talked to DH and hopefully tomorrow will be the day to do a small down payment so that we can lock it all in. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

In the past they've held very firm on the 3 days. Your best bet is to argue you weren't told which may give you 3 days from when you called them to check.
