Yes, I spoke with them - I asked for contact info. They were pretty annoyed, too.

The closing docs arrived today!

Uh oh! My hopes are sky high we will get ours today too! Watching email like...

We passed ROFR on 5/7 and we just found out we passed estoppel by contacting our broker www.dvcresalemarket.com. They told us to look for closing docs this week or early next week. We were impatiently waiting along with some of you. I just wanted to share, hope you all have the same good news soon as well!

Estoppel usually takes around 3 weeks. Its requested automatically once you pass ROFR

Waiting for ROFR and Estoppel feels like the days, weeks, and months after a break-up. How many times a day checking my email is not considered crazy?!

 

[Lorilais_mommie]

I’m there with you on that one..
feeling like the days drag on and on

It's N+1, with N = the number of times you visit the disboards.com forum every day...

Buyer pays the MF on remaining ‘21. I’m the seller; just bought this contract back in November and am using the proceeds to buy direct to have the opportunity to stay at Riveria and the new DLR DVC property.

Passed!

Thank you for this post. It prompted me to reach out to my broker at the DVC store and she told me that Disney DID send the estoppel for a contract that passed ROFR on 5/4. I should also receive closing docs this week or early next week.

No surprises here

Confirmed it has been sent for rofr today! Now the wait. Interesting the email from the broker said 45 days for rofr. here’s hoping for less.

Kpeterso---$115-$12305-100-SSR-Dec-0/19, 0/20, 36/21, 100/22- sent 5/10

Taken today. Oh well. I am not desperate for the points right now. I will keep looking and may change possible options too.

It looks like the ROFR monster has shifted from BLT to SSR. Sorry you have to start again.

kilik64---$120-$19785-160-SSR-Feb-0/19, 0/20, 0/21, 160/22 - sent 5/18

First post here after reading a ton. Hoping that $115 or so is the cutoff for what they are taking for SSR right now and that this $120 goes through.

My other BLT contract that passed ROFR on 5/7 also completed estoppel. Should be receiving final docs this week!

Which sounds weird to me considering the difference per point (between direct and resale) for BLT is still much higher than that of SSR. Perhaps the demand for SSR direct is really high and Disney is stocking up on inventory.

I think I'm done now. 5 contracts in 5 months. More points than we really need.

Can you ever have more points than you need, though?

Lots of running aorund to get the cash and notaries and a freak'n FedEx envelope but we made it before last pick-up!

Woohoo! I was all ready to add on direct when I checked a resale site as I was dialing and this popped up!

A little higher than I had hoped but cheaper than what I would have spent for the direct points!

I sold BLT because I couldn’t use the points at RIV and with the extra $2500 I made in profit off the sale, it worked out well!

Of course, I still have 675 points that are good everywhere so being restricted does not matter!

Now I can wait another year to add more points once the new VGF is up and running!

I may wait a bit. Am undecided right now. Lots of thoughts running through my head on it. I would like a few more points to get 1 bedrooms more often on our longer fall trips, so not urgent right now. I don't want to go much higher than I did for SSR. So need to decide if I want to shift to AKV (one of my other homes) to buy more points there instead (am more willing to go a little higher there). Or maybe wait for VGF and buy a fixed week there. So right now, need to think through options.

There’s a fixed week #41 on sale for VGF at
https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/listings/grand-floridian/gf81136/We just bought more AKV and SSR (in ROFR now it makes it this time) because we want two bedrooms now that our kids are older we need the space. We love the treehouses and our 150 points we already own there is just not enough. I too am thinking of getting a FW when grand goes on sale again for 4th of July. We have RIV #52 so they will balance each other out. It’s definitely hard to decide and deals are slim right now but keep watching and bidding and you may find one.
