Well that’s that. Not even remotely surprised, but it would have been a great deal. Time to go find another...

Well that doesn't bode well for my OKW contract priced at $73. Only a little over 2 weeks into ROFR, though.

So sorry guys - I will be joining you soon - annoying they wait until almost last day!

They are just driving those resale prices up so it is not as tempting to go resale over direct!! They probably feel they had to after the direct price increase!

I feel like the dragging it out almost encourages people to give up and go direct. lol

I’m seriously considering direct, just to skip the hassle!! We shall see.

Disney is acting like the school ground bully. If they pass your contract they inform you quite quickly so that you can book your trip and then plough more dollars into their bottomless pit. If they take it they make you wait till the last minute so as to pxxx you off for having the cheek to try and get the best deal for yourself.
Now can you imagine if no one bought resale? I wonder how many people would buy into a scheme where there is no method of exit? That would hit their direct sales and ultimately hit the obscene squillion dollar plus bonuses of the senior execs. Those who currently own wouldn’t be able to sell! All those businesses that operate within the resale market would have no business and those businesses would go down the pan affecting employment and therefore subsequent loss of spending in the local economy.
Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was possible to stick two fingers up to the man and to arrange for everyone to boycott the resale market. The bully gets a kick in the teeth and eventually has to grovel to people to ‘please buy our timeshare’.
Just a thought

Really? I mean why not just offer/pay more than market rate still a big discount IMO

Oh no....I really hope they don’t take that long for mine. Just take the darn thing and let me move on.

I still have no news so I am sure I will be joining the “taken” crew.

Man the mouse is rampaging at AKV. That's not even a crazy low price.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[motherof5]

It feels like they are trying to drive up all the prices to make direct look more appealing?

Always a possibility.

So sorry to hear 2 months ago this was a pretty normal price and not looked at by Disney

Most timeshares lose most or all of their sales value the second they are bought from the developer yet people continue to buy.

I am at WDW for my birthday. I received my email yesterday at 5:41pm when I was in that lull before I could exit the boat on it’s a small world. We were waiting and I knew so many people had passed yesterday so I decided to check my email one last time and there it was!

I am using The Timeshare Store. They set me up with the Mason Title and Escrow Company. I received an email today saying that I would get my documents via email between 5/10 and 5/20 and that we are on pace to close on or before 6/8. Does that seem about right? I’ve never done this before.

So excited to be joining everyone in DVC and to be able to call AKV home!

That's great! Congratulations. We just closed on a BWV contract. WE also went through the Timeshare store and we used Mason Title as well. From putting in a bid to points in our account was 27 days total. We even already booked a trip for June at our home resort. Hope all goes as fast for you as well! Congrats
