[RhodyKP]

Wait? As in The Jedi Counsle? Sorry sorry jk Jk. Hopefully that’s a good sign.

These are not the points you're looking for ...

Passed today. On to closing!!!

 

[Cruz85]

Here’s mine again. It looks like it got missed being added to the waiting list.

Cruz85---$129-$33238-240-BLT-Mar-0/19, 240/20, 240/21- sent 4/17

We still haven’t heard back. The waiting is agonizing. Maybe that’s a little bit overdramatic but we’d just love to get our answer, which hopefully will be that ROFR was passed and we can move towards closing. Oh well. Not much we can do but (try to) be patient!

Becky19---$105-$7180-60-SSR-Jun-0/19, 60/20, 60/21- sent 4/24, passed 5/19

Passed finally! This is our first contract & our 7 month window opens in 48 days... Am I likely to have points loaded by then?

CONGRATS! We were sent the same day. I should hear back soon. May I ask who your broker was? We are Fidelity.

 

[mrrnyc2002]

Wow. That's amazing. Hopefully you pass ROFR!

You think that's a good price? I'm new to this site but I'm seeing lower prices that got by FROR.

One thing about Disboards is that people are supportive. And it’s a relatively small, fully loaded contract so it’s hard to compare to almost any other VGF contract.

 

[Heathernoel]

Yeah, those points are banked too, so I will have 392 in my account in June! This will give me some freedom to book Jan 2021 and beyond.

Let me know if you want to rent out or lease some of those points My June DLR trip got cancelled and I plan on an epic one next year!

YAY PASSED TODAY!! Thank goodness that wait is over, now to the next waiting part. Hoping for a quick closer.

Yayayayay! I'm so happy for you!

in a week or so I can call you neighbor!

Fingers crossed you hear soon! Broker was DVC Resale Market.

 

[My3kids1989]

You're right. There's very little selling. Inventory on the resale sites is going down.

I emailed a broker and I said you only have 3 AKL listings? And they responded no we have a lot more than that, well they are all already pending or sold other than 3. It seems like they want it to look like they have a lot of options when there really aren’t a lot.

The time it takes for ROFR appears to be lengthening. I bought several contracts in early April, before everyone was furloughed, and for each one the process took about 10-12 days.

This is not what I wanted to hear.

Hopefully mine will be passed on or before day 14 ; this is the way.

Absolutely. Contracts sent 5 or 6 weeks ago had a 2 week turn around. Contracts sent to ROFR a week or two later than those have had a 3 week, 4 week, or even longer turn around. Hopefully this pattern doesn't continue for those who submitted less than 3 weeks ago up to present day

I keep telling myself that getting a lower per point price through ROFR outweighs the longer turn around but.. who am I kidding?!

Are you being credited MF's for 2021 for the points already used by seller?

 

[John Purcell]

Booking those rooms requires you to book no later than 8am at 11 months out and there is a high probability that you won’t them anyway. Depending on the time of year you will have more or less of a chance.

better to calculate with a standard room as there are more of those.

Agree!! But walkable with more points in my new contract, so at least I have that going for me I hope(?)!

More points doesn't help for walking. As long as you have enough points to book your desired room for 2 nights you can walk a reservation. Points for 7 nights just minimizes the frequency of modifications needed.

 

[John Purcell]

I think there are so many factors on what people pay. Certainly people paid a lot less than me per point for their AKL contracts (mine is $117). But it is fully loaded and I got this year's MF paid for which makes my cost the equivalent of $109. But most importantly, I wanted a 120 - 130 point contract. Less, I would always be stretched for points, more and the contract was too expensive for what we are willing to spend. So I paid a small premium that is maybe the equivalent of $600. Others will pay a small premium for the right use year.

My point is, I look at this list and think "eek I over paid". Then I look again and think, "I am glad I snapped up the 120 point contract!"

Now Disney just needs to pass those contracts from the last week of April!

I just think you did great as long as you love the resort. A year ago Disney’s price floor would have prevented us both from being neighbors!!!!

If you’re long term owners and Disney loving, like us, never look back! I am sure it’ll be one of your life’s best decisions, even if you don’t realize it yet(!).

I am happy for you and your family, and hope we will have a cocktail together at Sanaa!! Or the Kilamanjaro Club, clink clink!!!!! (Sorry I just get so excited for new AKV members!).

PS. You ABSOLUTELY can hear a lion roar at 5-6AM from your room. I get so wound up on my trips that I know this!
