JodyTG $89.00-$4,450.00-50 SSR Sept-50/2014 50/2015 sent 1/14/15 passed 1/29/15

While some may say we overpaid, we're happy with the price and the loaded contract.

Wow that's fast! Congrats!

We sent our SSR contract in 1/5 and seems like everyone that sent in 1/5 or even after already heard back. I am getting more anxious now! I hate the wait!

 

[JodyTG]

We just wanted to make sure we passed. Too many SSR contracts have been taken at lower amounts, and I was determined that this one was MINE.

The ROFR guys may be laughing at the price, but it was well worth it for me.

Disney harvests another OKW. This was our second try. Now to scour the listings for attempt #3.

Which means someone is buying OKW contracts direct from Disney @ $135 -- crazy. Even at resale prices, OKW is the same total price per point on contract as Poly direct (both are $9 total cost per individual point -- purchase cost/points remaining on contract + MF/pt.). At direct prices, it's crazy all day every day -- and twice on Sunday, but I digress

Curious, why OKW? SSR has 43% more points remaining for 8% higher price, and lower MFs -- and much less likely to have the mouse take your cheese.

Glutton for punishment.

It is definately an emotional choice rather than logical. OKW is the resort for us and while the 11 month window has little value at OKW, we like the idea of having a reservation with no worries about availability. We also don't drive so Near HH has value to us and we plan some trips during the first two weeks of December. Additionally, we don't see ourselves ever staying at SSR and have an illogical hang up about owning where we'd never stay.

I will say that since we started looking back in October the discount for OKW and amount of inventory have dropped noticeably. So much that we are at least giving some thought to SSR for our next offer. We'll see.

I wonder if it the use year? We just passed on a 150 OKW contract 1/24, now mind you it was for $73, but fully loaded with 2013 and 2014 points, so we were willing to pay more for those since we have a trip planned for this year. But I noticed they like Aug use year, which was originally what we were looking for, so we compromised with Sept which is not perfect since we sometimes like to vacation in late Aug / early Sept, but we will make it work. Just a thought.

is there anyway to check on the rofr status or just have to wait until our agent tells us one way or the other?

We wait.

 

[pangyal]

We wait.

Unfortunately, this is the most correct answer! The hardest wait of my life, and I'm including childbirth in that

I even started checking the deed on the comptroller's website every day to see if maybe Disney had filed it under their name before telling our broker that they'd taken it, lol.

But it was worth the wait and after the first fourteen days, the wait got easier. The total for us before we found out they'd waived was 23 days.

These boards were so helpful, thank you everyone! We thought we were paying on the high end but after seeing BLT listings since then, I feel pretty OK about it. We weren't trying to get an amazing deal, just pay a reasonable price and get through the process and I think we did that.

Hopefully this one we get to keep.I think it's a fair price for a fair contract,and will make it easier to book 1bdr instead of studio,They're soo much more comfortable .
