We had 2 more contracts submitted to ROFR today. Still waiting to hear from the 130pt VGF add-on we submitted 4/3. We stayed in a 2bd at VGC in February and loved it, so this 200pt gem was a surprise find but we are thrilled. I’m really hoping all 3 will make it through ROFR and I can take a DVC resale hunting break for the rest of 2018!

I’m worried about our 130pt VGF being taken because it was loaded. I feel like this $155pp 100pt VGF is safe (it’s pricy and relatively stripped). I think the VGC could go either way. FX for good news on all of them!

I just had one submitted last week for the Grand Californian as well. I paid way more! I hope your goes through!

Annoying when they take so long when you could be looking at other contracts

This is really my issue with the whole process. Whenever they plan on taking one, it would be nice if they would hurry up and do it so that we could move on to a different contract. However, it is a business, so they want to hang onto their money until the last possible second which really screws the buyers as we are on the hook until they let us know what's happening. Hopefully, I hear something today so that I can move on. Whenever others that submitted on/around the same date heard back they passed, and others are still waiting a week or more later, it almost always means the exercising of ROFR is coming. I'm sure there have been a few that passed that much later than others with similar submission dates, but I would think that's the exception and not the rule.

I am wondering if they are more likely to take contracts going to people who are already DVC members, adding on points?

I haven’t noticed that. They seem to take whatever they want regardless of your status as a current or potential new member.

Just a thought because it seems like they might be more willing to pass for new DVC members, since they would be adding a *new* long-term Disney customer. It might be more attractive for them? But just a random thought.

Though I guess points are points when you get right down to it...

We thought of that as well. Many different conspiracy theories. At one point when they were taking our contracts we thought it was because we took the DVC tour last time we were down there and didn't buy through them directly so they were punishing us

I have read suggestions in the pass that if it is after your UY they are less likely to exercise

 

[Lola_Stark42]

As a want to be first time DVC owner, I would really like the theory to be true that they will pass my contract. But seeing how quickly the other contracts passed that were submitted around the time mine was, and I’m still waiting to hear, does not make me very optimistic that is the case.
I understand they do get 30 days to decide, but I fully agree that the longer it takes the worse it is, particularly because there are other contracts I would put an offer on should I lose mine, and I can’t do so until Disney decides if they want mine or not. (Hey Disney, please please please please let me keep mine?)

 

[igrsod]

Definitely a trend with Dec. AKV contracts and March SSR contracts. I’d stay away from those UY’s at those resorts for a while everyone...

I feel very lucky that our $107 100 point AKL Dec contract went through last month.

That makes sense!

 

[ScubaCat]

That makes sense!

The biggest factors are the phase of the moon and the current operating condition of the dole whip soft serve machines in Adventureland. If they turn out decent dole whips, they'll usually let contracts pass. But if they under-chill the stuff or it's a super hot day and the upside down cake gets soggy, well... Somebody's contract is being bought back.

This is all scientifically factual, FYI.
