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

[DaveNan]

Sorry to hear that Calculator. Doesn't bode well for mine now.

Does the consensus seem to be that if they don't waiver within a week or two then it's pretty much game over as they have a resale buyer?

Third time lucky

That has been the pattern this quarter. For both ssr and akv the passes have all been 13,13,7,5,19,12,11,13,and 9. The taken have been 30,25,22(me),21,20,21,22,22,22,24,21,24,23,24. And the waiting are 33,20,18(me),14,17,13,18,3,3,4,53,49,25,19,15,18,12(me),28,7,6,6,3. I think some folks failed to let us know what happened. But you never know, Disney is always adjusting the formula and we could have a new one this week. There has been lots of speculation on my they are buying ssr and akv. OTU points, wanting cash rentals for TSL and GE. This will tell.

Also, last week was strangely quiet. A broker told me she didn’t get any notices all week. She works for one of the bigger companies too. And what is GE?

Ugh...so frustrating. I feel like our timing is just off trying to become 1st time owners and they are not making it easy. I am almost on a mission at this point. Lol

Thanks! I know the SWL acronym, but GE was new to me. Honestly, I barely remember the name of will be GE. It seems so far away.

Based on my last data crunch for only AKV contracts if you go past day 19 this months it was a 100% Taken. I've seen some people post accepted after day 19 but it's less common. Scroll back until you find this write up.

I'm at day 19 today in AKV so I'm pretty nervous (Worse than the last 18 days).

That's been the trend recently but it's not always how it goes. During other times they've given the ROFR reply quickly and waited to give the pass reply up to 30 days. Part of the fun of waiting on ROFR!

Keep throwing them back at them! Eventually one will slide thru.

In my limited knowledge I don’t believe Disney has one ‘fixed’ strategy but more of a variable one in which the parameters change dependent on what their needs are at that precise moment in time. What I am sure of is that it is the agents who peddle the line that ‘Disney will ROFR at that price per point’. I am not saying that price is irrelevant but that it is not the sole reason for ROFR. You only have to look at contracts that have been taken that we’re way more expensive than some at the same resort. I would be very surprised and disappointed if Disney were limited as to their business strategy.
I am on my first contract at ROFR and I suspect it has been taken but I actually enjoy the chase. Heck next time I may even change my resort and try a curve ball.

I agree with this thought. Right now they appear to be buying SSR and AKV, yet on the last thread there was a ridiculously low priced VGF slipped through. I think there are variables that lend itself to Disney exercising ROFR, but up until now the only people who know what those are work for Disney. Unfortunately, by the time we have sufficient data to make an educated guess, they may have switched strategies completely.

So I had an OKW-E contract in that I rescinded before my 10 day mark, because we ended up wanting a (much) smaller contract. We also really wanted SSR. So my OKW-E can be deleted, and this one can be added. I am nervous due to the # of SSR contracts that have been taken, but I don't know if I've seen any as small as 50 pts. Fingers crossed!

Thanks again for this thread. It really helps expectations!

Day 28 for my AKV contract This is only my first attempt - I can’t imagine going through this process multiple times I want it to pass so badly.

Good luck. We're on our 4th contract. First one went through quickly and thought, hey this is easy fun stuff. The last two I had to wait almost the full 30 days (24 and 30) and Disney took them. We're on day 10 of this latest one. Hope to hear something this week because as others have pointed out, the longer it takes the less the odds seem to be in your favor.

Ugh!, I'm cracking....Just called DVC and put my name on a waitlist for 100pts at HHI since there's a 7 person waitlist!....I wonder if he meant for all use years or just the one I'm requesting. If I do decide to go direct at $121, does anyone know if you still get current year's points without pay annual dues (It was a bonus when I purchased direct the first time in '09). I figure if my resale contract doesn't go thru, my savings isn't as great as if I were adding with say SSR or AKV & I might as well get the same use year.....Now if it does go thru, I'll also have points almost right away and still save some.

What you get is current UY points so it all depends on your UY and when the points are available. That is what DVC has always done - you receive current points. Annual dues are on a calendar year though. You would pay pro-rated 2018 calculation based on the date you signed the contract. The exception they make is that you can bank the points up until the last day of the UY - it's not required to bank 4 months before the end of the UY.

1st attempt - looking on here it looks as though Disney are taking a lot at SSR and AKL so not confident this will pass but we'll soon see!

I want a August use year, so if this were completed prior to Aug, would I get another allotment of points come August but only pay for annual dues for one of them come this Jan.
