ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

If your attorney is Jeffrey C. Sweet, his office handles a lot of DVC closings. My experience with his office was great; offer to close in just over three weeks on an international transaction.

Yes that's him! I wasn't sure if I'm allowed to post it. Good to know that he is experienced in DVC closings!

 

[NewbieMom]

Taken 4/28 and totally expected. Already got the ball rolling on the next one and will post when we start ROFR.

Sorry to hear, but glad you've already moved on!

 

[Reneedisnerd]

Wait... yours was Taken 4/28?

Lol wow that was off, I edited. Taken 5/9. I must have been so excited that my new offer was accepted so fast I guess my fingers weren’t working.

Passed at day 20!! Now I have 2 in closing and will be taking some time off of buying. Unless of course that ideal contract shows up as I tell my DW.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the BLT family and we have the same use year!

Thanks! I love your greyhound! We have 2 dachshunds by my DH would like to adopt a greyhound some day!

We are so anxious to go and stay at BLT again soon, but we will be banking and borrowing points for a 2BR in June of 2020. This will be for my DS's high school graduation. He actually graduates in 2019, but we're waiting for Star Wars land to open!

More than I wanted to spend per point, but it has all the points coming on. We blew through our 200 BLT points in no time at all, so we knew an add-on was coming. I wish I could’ve gotten it for less than $130pp, but no sellers would budge on even the stripped ones for anything under 200 points. I tried for 3 months!

I think I need to adjust my expectations if/when I decide to add on (again). BLT seems more cost-effective (even at these prices), but at VGF you just need to many points to get into a 1BR or larger, that if we want to not stay in studios there all the time, we will have to think about adding on some points there.

And there is the prospect in the near(ish) future that we'd need to stay in 2BR to bring MIL or my dad along occasionally. Which was not really anticipated when we bought in just last year.

This is what we want if and when we decide to spring for DVC.

I fought against the current BLT price for months, but I did finally give in. Considering we are saving $8400 over direct prices, I think it’ll all be ok. It still makes sense on my all important spreadsheets even at $135pp!

Good for you @TexasChick123! I'm still closing on my lowball offer Aulani contract gone wrong (right?).

Thank you! Contract gone wrong?!?

 

[Bruin_mouse]

Thank you! Contract gone wrong?!?

A lowball offer I made on an Aulani contract (just to see what the counter would be) was accepted around the same time as your lowball SSR offer. (At least I hope it was you.) I'm still waiting to close on that contract.

 

[Mumof4mice]

Thinking of submitting a lowball offer myself… This waiting is killing me.

What's the worst thing that could happen - we'll have to go to Disney world more often…? lol what a first world problem.

That was me. I thought something happened with your Aulani contract which is what went wrong. I’m ok with my SSR being taken as my heart belongs to MK and my husband’s to Epcot. We’re working on the latter too.

You'll inevitably get someone tell you that they bought BLT at $5/point at the bottom of the recession and would never pay as much as you did, but you got a good price (especially if it's in your UY).

Hahaha! This is so true! We could've gotten a better deal, I think, on a Feb UY, but we already own June. While I'm ok with owning multiple UY's, it would have to be for different resorts. Owning different UY's for the same resort is too much trouble for me.

 

[NewYorkMom]

Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with ROFR, but I am really struggling on deciding whether or not it really matters if the UY is the same IF we are planning on 2 different resorts. We have a contract right now that has not been through ROFR 'yet', which is our FIRST contract YAY (I hope ) and we are looking at doing another contract at a different resort but wasn't sure if we should stick with same UY or if it's really no big deal to be a different UY (as long as I put reminders on my phone and keep my spreadsheet up-to-date). The one we have under contract is the beginning of the year and I was thinking either matching that (not a lot of options right now) OR just going with another UY in the Fall. Another thing was, should we look into a 75 contract direct to get the benefits OR just get more points. We live in FL and would be AP so I think the only thing we wouldn't be able to take part of that is "free" would be moonlight event and EP lounge right?
