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

Can you explain subsidized please?

Hawaii has two contracts - subsidized maintenance fees and regular maintenance fees. There was some issue when they opened the resort that when they decided the MFs it wasn't enough money. So they had to go back and change it - but they only made the change going forward (7/27/11)

Thus there is a $2 difference - 2018 dues were 5.66 vs 7.54

So everyone before the 2011 date always pays $2 less in dues?

Nice find on the subsidized dues! They're not as common these days. Can you reformat that with the link on post #1 so it can go on the list?

To my understanding yes - but I think Disney targets these back more often if price is reasonable to them. But maybe not as much as they are still selling the resort...who knows but have heard its similar to the non-extended OKW contracts as well

From my understanding, Disney does not care so much about extended old key west contract because any OKW contract they buy back and sell then becomes an extended one regardless

 

[DizneyLizzy]

They were buying it back like crazy last year too. It just ebbs and flows as a PP said. Who knows why they’re going nuts with buying it back, but they are.

Maybe now that Disney Springs has become more of a destination, they feel like SSR will become more of a desirable location? So they can charge more for direct pricing?

Okay, so I never thought my contract would pass and I have made no provisions for my soon to expire 2017 points.

I had a trip planned to San Antonio in July that I could cancel. If we went to Disney, I wouldn't have any good day passes because booking too late so we would have to just hang out at pool and maybe see some shows. We could do that or I could rent them out. We will for sure go to our home resort for spring break in April. So that's three times in a row for us. Or I could try to rent out the 150. It might be hard because a lot of points are in holding and might not work out.

What do u guys think?

You could probably piece something together resort hopping which could be nice if you haven't tried all the resorts etc. You could also explore VB or HHI.

Renting and using will be tight as I don't know how many days you have to use them (is it 60 days from 4/11)

I'd rent. Orlando is such an expensive place to visit. And San Antonio is fun. There are 50 years of Disney vacations in your future (give or take a decade...)

I don't really understand the holding all too well. I would probably do boardwalk or animal kingdom. I took the babies to animal kingdom in January and it was too cold to go outside. It was like 35. They were so sad whenever we walked by the pool.

 

[NewYorkMom]

Awesome contract! Congratulations!!

Who did you go through?

 

[Beesknees6]

I went through fidelity

Yeah holding points need to be used within 60 days of the original trip. So I imagine the persons trip could have latest been 5/10 so that would give you until 7/10 to use them

Got an email at 5pm - we passed ROFR on VGC! So thrilled about this one!!!

Disneylovinfamilyof6---$150-$30195-200-VGC-Feb-0/17, 12/18, 200/19, 200/20-Seller pays CC&‘18MF- sent 4/11, passed 5/1

Very interested to see how your closing timeline goes since this is handled differently than the other DVC's properties!

 

[Unicorn Dreams]

My contract says the holding points expire on 11-30-18.

I think my seller started to have since difficulty getting to Disney because there are 300 extra points in my contact. A broker told me that there was no way Disney would pass, but they did!!!!

If you put them up for $12-$10 on the rental board I'm sure you would easily be able to rent them out, even if they are holding points. There are always people looking for cheap points.

11/30 should give you plenty of time to plan a trip!

 

[Beesknees6]

Passed.... Don't think I can use the 150 holding points. Will have to figure out how to sell them....I was ready to leave Disney and explore Marriott if this one didn't pass

Unicorn Dreams---$135-$21945-150-PVB-Dec-0/16, 150/17, 300/18, 150/19-2017 are holding- sent 4/11, passed 5/1

This is such a great contract! Congrats! I’m jealous!

Would they have to be that cheap with a 11/30 expiration?

But would this be a transfer in this case? would a reservation still have to be made?
