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

[disneyeveryyear]

IT'S NOT US! I can't believe this! My husband spoke to someone with DVC Resale Market this weekend and they told him "Congratulations! It looks like you passed!". I spoke to someone else who said "I can't 100% confirm it but it looks like you've passed." but I just got an email back saying it's a different family. We spent the weekend pretty sure we'd passed but NO! Ugh!

How disappointing.

Ugh that stinks! I really had my heart on buying DVC, but this waiting is really killing me. If ROFR isn't waived on my contract I'm pretty sure that I'll be turned off to DVC all together. I don't know how you all go through this more than once!

First time I was mad (or disappointed) when our contract was taken and said I was done. Then, about a month later, I looked at what was available and decided to take another shot. When I hit the 3 week mark with the 2nd one I started looking for what was out there (actually before that)because I knew Disney was taking it at that point. I knew I would not be happy unless I tried again. I am on day three of my 3rd ROFR wait and I am more relaxed than the first two times. Although, when I hit day 14 of this wait I will probably be refreshing my email like a mad women and back to just wanting a response-positive or negative.

We're also waiting for the third time in a row. We're on day 14 now and I'll be doing the same and looking for another contract in a week.

Each offer is getting poorer value for us although still a significant saving on direct. We simply couldn't afford what we want direct and we're edging closer to not being able to afford the points we want at resale too.

Definitely picked the wrong time to buy resale!

Feel you there. We were looking within a month of buying our direct contract, but put it off for far too long. Now we're on day 28 of our second attempt at ROFR this year and looking for a third contract. Pretty sure this one is gone, but DVD is sitting on it for a while.

 

[Whositsgalore]

Is it normal for Disney to send an email 12 days after the contract is submitted to them to let the broker know they are now starting the ROFR process? I guess I assumed that's the process we've been in for the past 12 days

Edited to add: I think i'm shocked by this because it seems like everyone says contract is submitted to Disney then on X date is passed or was taken. I haven't seen anyone put what day their contract was accepted by Disney to start the ROFR process.

Look at the bright side - you got to relax all weekend instead of worrying about it!

You've got to remember -- you're waiting a few weeks or months to save often tens of thousands of dollars on decades of Disney vacations. It seems like an interminable process, but it's all relative. Once it's done with and you get the contract(s) you want, you'll never look back.

UGHHHHH.... I knew it... So hard to stay positive when this is the 3rd time..... (one last year and then we gave up and twice this year) Both this year waited until the very end... It's just so time consuming... if they know they are going to take it- take it right away..... Sorry I am ranting.

OK- stay positive... back to the drawing board one last time and then I think I am done......

I’m sorry. I’m also waiting on a SSR contract $95/pp. Day 21. I’m pretty positive mine will be taken as well.

Terrible luck...I think Disney are pushing all resales north of $100 per point.

I'll probably receive the same news on day 30

Boo! The next one will be the charm!

On day 27 myself... just waiting for the confirmation email that it was taken. I’d love to know the “real” reason Disney waits so long when they know they’re going to take it. We all guess but there’s a definite reason they do this bc it’s a pattern.

Hi everyone!


This thread can be an invaluable tool for buyers looking for some help when researching the most up-to-date prices for DVC contracts on the resale market, so I encourage everyone to post their contracts when they are sent to Disney, no matter if they are big, small, or in-between !

If you would like me to post your details, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING LINK TO GENERATE YOUR DATA STRING OR I CANNOT ADD YOU (yes, I am being totally mean this round!):

https://rofr.scubacat.net

Just plug in all of the relevant data and post the resulting string in its entirety.

If you would like to double-check your entries after using the tool, just know that I need your username at the front and all data in the following order:

DISname---Price per point-Total cost (Price per point x # of points + Maintenance Fees to be paid at closing + Closing fees)-# of points-Home resort-Use Year-# of points available first year (banked or not),# of points current year, # of points following year, and year after that, followed by Date Sent for ROFR.


Please include any other details such as whether the seller is splitting closing or paying current year's MFs. We assume that the buyer pays current year MF and closing, so no need to add those details in writing, only to the total amount.

Then come back and post whether you passed or not using the tool again so that your completed string looks like the sample below. Or I will chase you down! Just kidding. But, in the spirit of helping everyone who uses this thread as a resource, please do let us know whether or not Disney waived your contract so that the data is complete. Please do not simply post that you passed, as I cannot comb through the thread to find your contract.


Sample:https://www.disboards.com/threads/r...ost-for-instructions-formatting-tool.3615204/

pangyal---$144-$33296-219-VGF-Aug-113/14, 219/15, 219/16, 219/17- sent 8/24, passed 9/16

Please note that I cannot add you if you are missing any of the above details or if your contract has not yet been sent.

Money. The longer they wait, the more time they have to come up with the money. That gives them that much more time to sell more points direct which gives them more working capital. They could also be earning interest on that money, so every day they wait makes them more money in interest. Just as we like to hang onto our money until the last possible second, so do they.

So from reading the above posts, I figure I've got 2 chances of passing--slim and none.

Very similar to mine last month. Waited a month. I hope you have better luck than me you never know, fingers crossed.

3rd time? So sorry to hear! Hopefully next one will be it.

Yes- 3. The first two I submitted what they listed for asking price and the 3rd I submitted an offer 3.00 less per point.....Seems like anything under 95-96 a point for SSR is being taken.

I was told by a broker that has been the case lately. He advised no lower than $97 pp. We will see what happens. Still waiting, I thought we were going through the ROFR process for the past 12 days but Disney sent my broker an email today saying they were starting the 30 ROFR process. I couldn't believe it...12 days of wondering and worrying for pretty much no reason.

It was sent 3 hours ago...so I guess it's about time to start shopping again
