Ugh. I’m new to all of this, but that’s the pits. In your opinion, was it more desirable because it was loaded?

"That's the pits"...

LOL!

I Haven't heard or seen that phrase in over 20 years! Brought me a big smile!

Crash always gets those Boardwalk deals! I got mine thru text alerts. It is higher pp but maybe I will be spared this way. That’s what I tell my bank account.

There still is benefit to Disney for resale. If a new member purchases they are A.) More likely to go to WDW and spend money on food and tickets than a stale member that has the intention to sell. B.) Disney isn't "losing" money on the perks to resale that they do to direct. Yes, I am using "losing" very loosely.

Not sure I buy the reasoning. The amount of extra money Disney makes off of new resale DVC members probably isn’t as much as what they can make if they drive new customers to buy direct by a) making the resale process drawn out and somewhat unpleasant and b) a healthy ROFR program which over time limits availability on the best deals and makes resale a less attractive option.
The cost of member perks is too low to make a difference, especially now.

Congrats, especially in this environment! You definitely avoided yesterday’s unpleasant CCV ROFR surprise. Where did you find the contract? It’s rare to see a small size contract priced so low. Someone is trying to sell a 50 point CCV out there for $177! For that amount I’d consider buying direct.

Hi everybody! This is my 3rd contract this year. The other two passed so I am keeping my fingers crossed for this one!

Congrats! What a great price! There really is no rhyme or reason behind Disney’s buy back strategy

Don’t feel bad about posting this awesome deal.
These boards are meant to be a way to support each other and be happy for one another when one gets a contract through! These boards should be nothing but support and happiness for something like this! Anyone who would respond with something negative out of jealousy should check themselves. Everyone knows the ROFR process is definitely random in part and there’s no rhyme or reason for it. It’s not personal! Anyways congrats!!

How many times would you all contact your broker for updates on ROFR? I'm on week 5 and 3 days . I've messaged them 2 times for an update but really haven't gotten anything back in concrete other than "I'll reach out to them"

This is the first for me oh the pain the AKLs are possibly going to have the same fate

This is going to be a long road

At least once a week once you’re past 22 or so days since that’s roughly average. I usually try and be extra kind and proactively thankful for their time.

Could be luck or it could be an obsessive compulsive behavior to check all of the resale websites every 10 minutes.

This is the first for me, but I expect more to be taken that I have in ROFR

Hopefully not the OKW E as we both have the same price per point. LOL

My Agent for BLT called me personally, he is great and I have a good relationship with him. As soon as I saw him calling me, I knew why he was calling.
There hasn't been any communication for the OKW broker yet (different from BLT), I have sent a text message to see if they heard anything. I take it that you haven't heard anything about your OKW either? Good luck to both of us

First attempt buying DVC, been watching boards for a couple years getting lots of great info, and been trying to convince myself (and wife) to pull the trigger. Crossing fingers it goes through rofr. In-laws bought CCV a couple years ago while on cruise. Love it there, especially Geyser Point. Hoping to have another great place to stay at AKL.

Resale Experts. My exact thoughts “if this doesn’t pass I will just buy 50 direct!”

 

[Amyeliza]

I don‘t think Disney cares if people get tired of ROFR and don’t buy at all. They don’t make any money on resale anyway. But I bought some CCV direct just recently because I could not find any contracts with my UY on any of the resale sites, felt like I needed more points, and did not want to wait months and months for the right contracts to show up. The dwindling supply out there is an issue.

Agreed. An they have no motiviation to have new memberships created or have points loaded in a timely manner. They make buying direct so much easier. Unfortunately, direct is not in my budget.
