ROFR questions

[WDW LOVR]

We're considering adding-on and I'm wondering are there any specific things that make a resale attractive for Disney to snatch up (other than the obvious - price)?

Banked points?
Specific UY?

Would a resale have a better chance of passing if there were no points available until 2006?

I have no idea and really don't think anyone does. Beca has compiled a list of contracts that have passed ROFR and those that have been scooped up by Disney (Link). Look over the list. I'm not sure it will help but at least it will provide you with information. If you figure out the key to Disney's thinking, please let us all know.

...when we started the process for buying resale, we balked at the price -- $80 pp, 160 pts, with 160 banked, at BWV. Our agent was very sympathetic, but said that Disney has been snapping up similar contracts in the $76-78 range. And she felt the higher price was probably reasonable, considering the banked pts. So...we bit the bullet and bought...and passed ROFR, no problem.

Price, I guess, more than any other factor, has a lot to do with it. If Disney can snap up a property for $76 pp, and then turn around and sell it for $85 or more...well, that's money in the bank. They aren't hurting.
