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

Day 25 here and crickets.... I submitted mine 4/16- I just checked with my broker and she said Disney has been very slow and she still hasn't heard back from about 10 contracts submitted on 4/16-4/17. I sure hope Disney doesn't take all of those

It’s just so hard to keep positive!

 

[krw1243]

Me too! I’m at work with my DVC co worker and she is explains some of the crazy contracts I recently have seen. I said to my husband last night “what the heck am I going to do once I finally get one?” Then I said I know trip planning!

This is what I do while I wait...

I just got an email from my broker!!!!!

It was new listings before they hit the website .

Oh well, I'll just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, waiting, waiting, waiting and hoping, hoping, hoping.

Who are your brokers? Submitted on 4/17 too... was so hoping to hear today

 

[Beesknees6]

Well, I just had $139/pp 150 points sent to ROFR a week ago, so I'll let you know!

You would think Disney would buy back something they could flip for $81/pp in a heartbeat, but it was almost completely stripped of 2018 points. It's weird to me they're not buying it back, as my guide said recently there's a mile-long waitlist for Poly.

That’s my thought too!! If the waitlist is a mile long... where’s all the buybacks??

 

[Beesknees6]

They say that, but then they tried to sell us some Poly, which they "just discovered they had in inventory" when it was approaching the end of our trip with our DVC meeting and hadn't purchased yet. We couldnt swallow the direct price for the poly, but seems it can magically become available if needed.

That’s interesting... so initially they told you it was unavailable?

It’s just so hard to keep positive!

I know... especially since I have had two taken before and they waited until almost the last minute

I am going through DVCresale market for this one. My previous two were through the timeshare store and taken by Disney.

 

[OneLittleSpark2014]

From your mouth to God's ears. Today is 2 weeks for me.

Two weeks exactly for us, too! At least there's a decent likelihood that we will hear something next week. I'll be watching closely for a decision on yours since we're on the same schedule. The contract that I lost to Disney in April took 22 days, I think.

No, we had asked about AKV which they said they didn't have in stock, but we could waitlist for it, then offered up that they had discovered this Poly inventory. I'm guessing an attempt to up sell a bit more to one that costs more per point, or fear that if we didn't sign before leaving that we never would. He also knew we were well aware of the resale market. But we went for the AKV and only had to wait a couple weeks. We wanted our cheaper points to be the direct ones, then the nicer resort to be the resale one - save more that way.

Hoping that DVCRM couldn’t really get 10 ROFR’d all at once right?!? So maybe they have a valid point??? I hope!!

That was a good move... out of curiousity, with your direct AKV, did you get to pick your UY? Or did they just tell you?

 

[tinks624]

Just heard my 70 pt OKW (e) was taken by the mouse! I’m so sad but I’m glad they didn’t tell me that yesterday on my birthday! Well I’ll be back in the saddle again! Tmo!

Oh no! I’m so sorry!! After hours?!

It was preset for a given contract, but they had two contracts to choose between. They did let us pick the exact amount of points though, and the one we got had 2017 points on it.

So, they let you pick between 2 UY?

 

[krw1243]

Right. I picked between one contract that was not loaded with 2017 points with an april use year or a loaded one with an August use year

Well, that really stinks! I’m sorry. Happy hunting!

Out of curiosity is it still $151 for AKV?

 

[TexasChick123]

$171. It was $165 before that. Hard to keep up since they keep increasing the prices so much.

Wow! If they take 10 contracts from them all at once, that may be a new record!
