Great to see a AKV that passed!!!!!

April UY.
I’m still hoping to see a AKV December UY make it through!
I lost an AKL last month.
I’m day 19 on another AKL December UY contract now. Not optimistic

 

[TexasChick123]

Bummer...onto the next offer!

That stinks. I know how annoying it is that they wait so long too. You'll find a better deal...possibly look for something other than Dec for AKV.

Well that’s that. Not even remotely surprised, but it would have been a great deal. Time to go find another...

I’m sorry... but that would’ve been a smokin deal for sure.. I know your disappointment though!

Waiting really stinks This will be my first DVC contract

On April 24th, day 11, Disney sent the contract back because they found some missing points ~ 3 from 2017 and 15 from 2018 My broker added an addendum to the contract moving the closing date one month further out and adding the points to the contract I am sure I will lose those 3 points because they have not been banked and the first thing I will do is bank those 15 points so I don't lose them too I do not have to pay for these missing points I am trying to tell myself that Disney would have taken the contract right then if they were going to exercise ROFR rather than sending it back, right
Pixie dust to all of us who are still waiting that we will pass ROFR SOON

Yes!! I agree!

 

[jenr812]

I feel like the dragging it out almost encourages people to give up and go direct. lol

I’m seriously considering direct, just to skip the hassle!! We shall see.

Same!!

I am at WDW for my birthday. I received my email yesterday at 5:41pm when I was in that lull before I could exit the boat on it’s a small world. We were waiting and I knew so many people had passed yesterday so I decided to check my email one last time and there it was!

I am using The Timeshare Store. They set me up with the Mason Title and Escrow Company. I received an email today saying that I would get my documents via email between 5/10 and 5/20 and that we are on pace to close on or before 6/8. Does that seem about right? I’ve never done this before.

So excited to be joining everyone in DVC and to be able to call AKV home!

I am so happy for you! I am waiting to hear as well, my contract was sent out on the same day as yours from the Timeshare Store too!

I wonder if DVC is buying up resale contracts in anticipation of people buying direct 75 points or more contracts for the perks? I know their were a lot of people trying to buy in before the change in the perks policy, but how many people are willing to pay the $50 plus premium on direct points to get the perks? On a 75 point contract that's almost $4k more. The discounted AP is the only real perk with any value that I can really see, but I'm sure the Moonlight Magic events are appealing to others. Or does DVC think that there is going to be a huge demand when SW opens up?

We bought 50 direct last year because of a need for a specific trip with family, but also wanted to get some extra points, but I don't think we would have bought them at the current direct price. The ability to buy the Gold AP is nice, but I'm not sure how many we will need since we can only really go once a year.

I agree. Late last year Disney made two big changes. They greatly increased the direct cost for points. This means if there is a buyer, Disney could actually pay more for the points and still have a very good margin. The second change, as you stated, is increasing the minimum for "membership benefits" from 25 to 75. This potentially drives up the need for those more expensive points. An additional factor could be the forecast of points available to offer. If CCV sales are going well or if Riviera development is behind pace they might see a hole in new points available for sale. SSR and AKV are two large resorts with lots of points available, they both have at least 36 years left, and a good gap between the resale price and direct price. If Disney sees a 3-6 month window with few to none new points available, that would explain amassing points. They don't want to downsize the DVC sales and transnational teams, only to have to restaff only Riviera is available.

Good luck! I'm waiting on a 50 point contract (my first one) too.

And in other news, DVD was so busy sending out notices on Monday for the passes and Tuesday for the taken ones that they decided that was way too much work for them and to take the rest of the week off! Way too much work for that department.

I was just thinking that today has been very quiet. Maybe getting ready for a busy day tomorrow?

I hope that's the case cause I'm at 14 days so a few more days and I'll start to get nervous.

Maybe. Who ever knows? Last week we thought every day that a busy day was coming, and it never did until the following Monday. Maybe tomorrow will be a lot of news, or maybe they will shelve it until next week. Thanks goodness I don't work there. All my employees would hate me because I would be like, "Let's get this moving people!" I worked for the government at one point, and I was told by two bosses that I was too efficient for government work. I think I would be told the same thing at Disney. :/

Looks like there was some passings today on one of the FB pages. Not many but a few...

I saw that one had deed recordings listed from today but no ROFR notices. However, that is just one of the groups. I turned off all the notifications I was getting for all the groups, so it must be a different one than the one I’m referring to.
