**ROFR Thread 2014 JAN-JUNE** UPDATE to thread on PG 71!!

[Noelle]

Has anyone who passed on 3/18 gotten their closing docs?

No, nothing today. I've given up hope seeing them before April 8th. I think 3 weeks is the new 'norm'. I really hope I'm wrong.

Our first contract through Fidelity Update: Closing will be delayed!!!! owners legally have until the 24th to execute and they are travelling in South America! so they have asked for 1 week extension which will bring our closing at the beginning of May and even though they will ask for expedited closing who knows when our points will be available. What a mess!!! I am starting to think that all this waiting is almost not worth the price difference.

Wow!! I'm so sorry to hear about your delay. I know that all this waiting has made me a little frustrated too. Just this morning, my DH and I were discussing the hypothetical possibility that we could encounter further delays on the sellers end. And it happened to you...and it could happen to us too. I can't say it has tipped me into buying direct yet. But I am slightly double guessing my decision to buy 2 contracts (160 @ OKW & 100 @ BWV) and not just buying 135 points at VGF direct.

Nope- was hoping to purchase annual pass by end of April. Doesnt look like that will happen.

Nope. I passed on 3/18 and am still waiting too. I'm in good company!

I hope you will be OK with your contracts, we are pretty much giving up on the possibility of buying our discounted annual passes by the end of April. I hope our second contract also in AKV will run smoothly, but still waiting for closing docs on that one

Don't think that, it's still worth it. Remember, depending on the resort you are buying you have at least 29 years left to use your membership. A little inconvenience in year 1 is not a big deal in the long term. But in the short term, sorry that you have to deal with this.

I definitely agree with ELMC.

Think of it this way. If you really need to book a vacation for year 1. You could just pay cash for it, and you'd still come out overall ahead versus buying direct.

(Not to mention that for many of the older resorts, there is a waiting list, even purchasing direct.)

I don't see any notifications this week. Haven't most notifications been coming on Tuesdays? Any ideas? Did I miss something?

My notification on March 18th (after only 21 days) came later in the day. Didn't help much since we are now on day 15 waiting for closing docs!!!

I haven't moved anyone from waiting to passed this week.

 

[Syndrome]

Still waiting here ...........
We are 21 days or so for both of our HHI ROFR's. I am thinking next Tuesday may be our notification ???
On a positive note, I did see a deed go through for our exact offer ($50. PP for HHI) , so at least we can be optimistic, since I have seen a few taken for more $$$ PP . Wasnt really feeling too good about it untill I just saw one go through for the same as our deals .........now I am excited again.
Just patiently waiting ...........

 

[Pumbas]

I passed on 3/18 too & no closing Docs yet. I purchased through TSS. Checkout the blog on this board about Fidelity Time Line. People that passed ROFR on 3/18 got closing docs today. They purchased through Fidelity.

 

[ScootScharfer]

I understand that DVD made some notifications today and responses to those waiting should be on the way. May know more soon.

 

[Disneyhabs]

You can move my VB contract to gone my broker let me know a number of days ago we did not get the contract that was the one that was submitted on March 25th.
