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

[ahen]

For those of you with experience in this, did you receive notification when the deed was officially recorded and the points were transferred into your account? Did you have to call DVC to find out? I'm looking at booking at the 11 month mark for May 2019 so I'm curious what all I need to do next. Thanks!

Truthfully I stalked the OC site and knew way before anyone notified me of anything. My points were in my account about a week after deed was recorded, think that I heard from the broker when they had been there about 3 weeks. I wasn't getting any points till 2019 and really didn't have a plan for them so I wasn't sweating that conrract too much.

I have been looking at the prices all month. Any thoughts on why Saratoga is selling for more than it ever has? Doesn't seem like it is such a great deal anymore. Before agents used to say to buy Saratoga for the value if you didn't care what home resort you had.

If you do the math for how much you are paying for the points and yearly maintenance fees, SSR will most likely still be the best value. All the resort prices for some reason keep going up.

I wish I had a September UY at BLT. New listing for $130pp with 160 banked points into 2017, 320 points for 2018, and 160pts for 2019. Such a good deal!

Sorry for the error. Hopefully this is now the correct format.

It is! I would’ve totally jump on that if I wasn’t patiently waiting for ROFR.

I have a June UY. It wouldn't work for me. I am already waiting on ROFR for an add-on to June. If it goes through, then I will have 350 BLT points. That's plenty!

We want BLT but the current price per point is a little out of our budget right now. We plan to purchase another contract sometime between December - February maybe we can catch a BLT contract that fits our budget a bit more.

So tempting... Sep Use Years works for us if DVC takes my Poly contract

Still waiting waiting waiting. Has anyone from Team 4/27 gotten any news?

Can I ask what site that is posted on? Don't see it on any of the ones I stalk...Thanks!

I don't know about the remaining members of Team 4/27, but I submitted on 4/30, and I haven't heard a thing. I haven't seen anyone with a submission date past 4/27 hear anything. It's funny because we are so busy with the end-of-the-school-year stuff that I am pretty distracted. Where I used to think every day at 2 weeks and onward would be "the day" I would hear back, now my expectations are lowered to "it'll happen when they get around to it". Disney has made an already long resale process even longer in a very thinly veiled attempt to push people towards direct. It won't work on me as I would just as soon keep the points I already own and be happy with those.

Me too. Contract sent on 4/30. ROFR process started on 5/11. Ugh!

My agent just let me told me that Disney started ROFR on 5/10. I was talking to him about something unrelated, and he looked it up on his own. Not a total shock with what I've been seeing.

Fidelity Resales. I'm sure it is already gone.

4/27 here and no news yet.

It seems that nobody is hearing this week either. It is getting quite frustrating.

Not a shock there. I wonder if this one will tempt Disney to buy it back. It isn't a great deal if you look at price per point in a vacuum. However, taking into account all the extra points, it's a great deal. I have often wondered if Disney prices out those extra points in a less than favorable way because they seem to let the higher ppp ones with more points on them go. Maybe it just has to do with their business model on exercising ROFR. I don't know. Random ponderings for a Wednesday morning.

Yeah the 2016 banked points will expire shortly after closing (45days to use). I think it has a better shot then the $120 loaded contract saw l recently on here

Emailed broker who indicated he would contact Disney on Friday if nothing. With a $101 / point AKL contract I think Disney wants it.

Our contract just passed today! We're super excited since this is our first DVC purchase.

Congratulations!

With a $9 / point difference in our contracts for the same DVC location (and with mine submitted a week earlier) it even further reinforces (at least in my own mind) that the Mouse wants mine!

Just got the email that we passed ROFR and are in the Estoppel process. I should say although the contract was submitted to Disney on 5/3 it was "accepted" by them on 5/14 and they indicated that was when they were starting their 30 day ROFR. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!
