Couldn't pass up the price and it's an October UY. Now we can add five nights at VBR or use as SAP to our retirement stay!

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

This is great advice! In retrospect, I wish wish wish I would have don't more research and bought the full amount of points that I would need. I feel like I'm throwing money away with closing costs. My only consolation is that the Poly still has 40+ years on the deed and will hold it's value for resale (I hope!).

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

I don't know - we sent ours on 03/22 - so the fact that some folks who were later than us have heard & we haven't is making me nervous.

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.

Agreed - that or stripped 2021 is getting through in the mid 150's. I bought one just over a year ago at 110 per point (400 points) crazy to see how much the market has changed!

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.

I received ROFR notification on 4/1 and haven't heard anything yet, I think things are just delayed.
I debated sending an email to ask but I think I'll just wait it out.

Fingers crossed for you. I keep trying to try to push a VB or HH contract through at my house . I would love to have some beach points. What an awesome price point for you!

actually, let me just edit it to say, congratulations! They never buy them back

Thanks! We bought a two VBR 50 points bundled about five years ago in the $50's and sold them separately for about $90. That was a sweet little flip. I never expected to find another one that cheap, especially now.

We do love VBR and HHI as they both have the Disney vibe at the beach. Seasonally, points are dirt cheap so even with higher MF's, it's still a great deal and UY matches so even better deal.

From what I'm seeing some VBR's are nearing $100 for 50 points which is crazy, like all the other crazy prices. This was listed at www.fidelityrealestate.com for about 15 minutes when I put an offer in. I've found three bargains in the past couple months there, all cheap enough to flip for a profit, however we'll use up the points in the next couple years and see about the market...

I go to the website and hit update to get the latest listings. The great thing is they take them offline if you pay asking so you don't have the "bidding war" issue. HHI 30 for $74, SSR 50 for $110 and VBR 50 for $65 and I've seen many other bargains but wrong UY. Good luck to all!

Same here -- I was told ROFR passed & estoppel cleared on 4/1, but I'm still waiting for closing docs.!

I don't think it ever hurts to send an email.

Still waiting for ours. It'll be a week tomorrow. I too keep looking and looking. My husband saw that we passed ROFR before I saw it, I can't let that happen again!!! lol

What do you mean your husband saw you passed ROFR? Is there a place to check before you get an email?

And does the email from the broker or the title agency?

 

[ddubaynavarro]

I hope they don't change the minimum fo


So if you find out you can add 75 direct, will you keep or rescind your resale contract?

I wonder if adding on in small amounts is now a Blue Card Perk. In other words, you can't do a small add-on to a resale contract, but you can do small add-ons if you already have a blue card. Alternatively, it is a miscommunication as the others have said.

It was a miscommunication. I paid him for the 25 pts direct and kept the blt resale. Just waiting for Disney to snatch my BLT contract

Hpw do you see it????

 

[808blessing]

Just stupid luck, I just happened to check Fidelity about 1 minute after it posted and immediately called the broker.

I think I was 5th in line on that contract. Lol

Welcome home! We just bought at SSR too!

My first “welcome home” thank you!!

I feel like there’s a bit of panic in this community-I dunno. Maybe we all need to just consider taking a few breaths and wait a bit. Disney isn’t going anywhere. DVC isn’t going anywhere. Don’t get pushed beyond what you can afford or settle for something you don’t really want because it feels like this is your only chance. There will always be another deal. Waiting to go or renting points in the interim or having fewer points for a bit won’t kill any of.

In. Out. Breathe......

I think that's where we are at. We don't need point right now since we probably won't go in 2021. I'm just sitting and watching.
