How long is it taking everyone to get their closing documents after notice of the ROFR waiver? It has been a week and a half, but I get like a million crap emails a day and frequently miss some som I’m paranoid it will be missed or go to junk.

On my first contract to pass ROFR beginning of last month it took 20 days to get my closing docs, my second contract which followed passing ROFR a few weeks later took only 5 days.. same title company as well. I think it depends on when Disney releases the estoppel for the contract allowing the title companies to prep the closing docs. But also probably depends on how busy the title company’s are with preparing the documents as well m. Hope that helps!

I just looked at all of the sites. Without knowing how much negotiating(I am not buying another contract) would lower the price, there is very little I would buy now. I would probably be all in on a copper creek cheaper contract. Everything else has gone so high. Even the cheaper resellers prices have gone way up.

Not sure prices are coming down anytime soon.

I promised I would update you, so here's the scoop. For those of you who don't know, I was going to purchase 25 shares of an extremely high priced BWV at $189. After talking to this group, I decided it would be best to get out of the contract (because it was CRAZY over priced) and buy direct. Oh...I failed to mention that I got in a "bidding war" that I fear was invented by the broker because the property stayed up for over 5 days after I "won".

Regardless, I talked to my husband last night and I'm going to buy direct 25 - 30 shares of the Poly when MS sends me my login. 60 shares of the PVB are offically mine (hopefully deeded today!). I now need to decided if I want 25 or 30 points. My husband says go for 30, but my frugalness thinks 85 total points will likely be enough. 90 does sound better...

I miss all of you, although many of you have moved on! This board got me through 21 days of ROFR misery!

Wow - that is a crazy price. I have gotten one at 116, 125, and 103. All well below the above (they were also all fully loaded!)

I would say really dive into the point chart for Poly and calculate what you need to stay for the length and time of year you want. Use the 2022 charts as they are probably the highest they will be due to the weird Easter inflation. You may need 27 points to get that extra night or 31.

It sure doesn't hurt to have those extra 5 points. Could come in handy, and dues on 5 points are negligible.

When you were on the BWV it was recommended to go direct because your agreed on price ended up more around $200 I thought? Your plan was to use that for a weekend Food and wine. For PVB I wouldn't have the same thought of going direct especially as the point numbers increases. 50 point PVB contracts are not extremely difficult to find and could probably be bought for the same as 30 direct.

I know we probably have another week, but I'm getting antsy to hear back now. Sent on 3/24 and 3/26.

50 points would be too many. I'm trying to keep my yearly dues down which is why I originally purchased only 60 points. Then, addonitis struck!!! $6,250 (25) is more my budget and I can pay cash. It's still crazy high. The last 50 Poly contract I saw was for $8,800 (plus closing). Although 30 points would be $7,500 (plus closing), over time, the dues would be less if I stuck with 25 or 30 points. With that said...if I saw a 50 point contract with a December UY in the next couple weeks, I might change my mind.

My husband isn't a fan of Disney, so all these points are just for me, the kids and my girls trips. That's why I'm trying to keep the price down because it's not really a family investment.

We are all here for you and thank you for the update. Its always good to know how the journey is going. These are not easy decisions and there may always be "I could have payed a couple of dollars less pp when buying" thoughts in our minds.

After everything said and done though, the difference in upfront cost we pine over is negligible and over time, dissipates in value given the joy we experience from the beautiful vacations we get to plan and live. This coming from someone who is yet to do the first welcome home trip, has gone to WDW only 3 times in her entire life. But I cannot wait to get going again

I am saying this because I did a lot of calculations over how many points I need and the whole 11 months over 7 months availability. The points I have added on are only because of the reality of checking availability and need for points

I can tell you for sure, if you can get a few extra points and the budget can be stretched just a little bit, it helps in the long run. Just by saving on multiple closing costs. I promise, when you start planning and actually going, you will feel the need

Just my 2 cents

So sorry to hear! The OKW was a great deal you got through ROFR today
I’m on try number 5 for BLT so i went up to $160 as that’s the only price that seems to get through consistently.
