Fingers crossed!
This is our first time so a little new to the process, based on the recent ROFR report it would seem unlikely but nonetheless we’re still on edge!

This should definitely pass, but it's still a good price compared with the most recent listings I've seen (of which there are very few left). Still well over $10K off the direct price, which is fantastic. Good luck!

I think SSR has been a good place for many people to stay during the pandemic. It has several pools, exterior corridors, near-room parking, and the grounds are sprawling. There's lots of ways to avoid people, and for people doing a non-park stay, you're not so close to a park that it's painful to avoid. There's a ton of food options at Disney Springs, which gives it the edge to AKV, which would otherwise be a fantastic non-park resort, but their food options are SO limited right now.

Non-pandemic related, the room renovations are fantastic, especially that Murphy bed vs fold-out couch, and the ongoing enhancements to Disney Springs have helped its location be more desirable.

Wow, this sounds awesome! Making me want to break out the checkbook again, when I haven't even finalized my Poly one yet!

At these current prices looks like I’m going Direct. Thanks again for all you work continuing this thread.

I made that decision last week when my SSR contract was taken. Today is the last day for some of the current incentives, so give them a call today!

I don’t know the details, but I saw someone posted on Reddit that they had an SSR contract ROFRd at $120pp today.

saw this as well, they are really buying up SSR like crazy right now

Congratulations, an even better price than ours that just passed. It does seem that Disney is much less likely to take AKV contracts where the buyer pays the 2021 dues.

Some info regarding why SSR under threat

"Disney sold 19,055 points for Saratoga Springs in April, the most since October 2012 when 19,278 points were sold for the resort. In 2019, before the pandemic, Saratoga Springs averaged only 8,470 points in monthly sales."

Thanks for this, that explains a lot!

Hopefully things will cool off a little in May and my new contract will get through... We'll see in about 4 weeks!

Congrats and good luck! Could you please reformat that with the link in post#1 so it can go on the list?

Knock me over with a feather!
My closing docs arrived 9 days after ROFR! I was able to turn them around and make the FedEx pickup by 3 minutes.

Just got a call from the agent saying that Disney reversed their decision on the ROFR due to some issue regarding closing with the international seller. This is the first time she's ever remembered this happening. So....

Congratulations!

I think it might have been the 1st time I've seen them ROFR an international seller so not surprising it's the first time the brokers seen a reversal. As I mentioned there's a bit more to closing with an international seller that relates to agreeing to cover income tax on the sale if the seller owes any and does not pay and it surprised me that they wanted to go down that road. And apparently they don't want to.

That's crazy! I'm sure you still want it but part of me would like to say no thanks Disney, you can deal with it. But if you want to sweeten the deal for me, I can be persuaded to take it off your hands. Stick it to the man!

But seriously, what would happen if you didn't want it? I mean it wouldn't be that surprising if someone had buyer's remorse but didn't want to lose their deposit. Can Disney legally reverse course (no backsies!!!)? Maybe it depends on the paperwork. Is there an official document that they provide when they exercise ROFR and as long as that hasn't been signed, you're still on the hook? This is definitely one of the more interesting ROFR situations. I need details!!!

This really shows you- bid what you want to pay! Plus DVC has no interest in paying the dues on banked points.

100% agree the refurb has got to be one of the best they have ever done! We stayed there in April and had a refurb room in the paddocks. We defiantly loved it and started looking around for more points so we could get 1 bedroom there more often.
why sitting at the paddock pool we submitted our offer!

We went for CCV, bc normally you can get SSR at 7mo.

Meaning, they don't actually want to deal with an international seller if they don't have to- someone took it without realizing it was an international seller.

Nice price on BLT, esp for such a small contract. I hate my March UY!

The agent just called me about it saying that I had an opportunity to get the contract under the original terms or else they would put it back on the market. I guess they were giving me the Right of Second Refusal.

I agree but my OKV was identical to that but with 250 points and they took it.That being said I refuse to pay more than the absolute minimum ill just keep trying

Well don’t leave us in suspense. Are you going to waive your right? Or take it?… Or are you going to need 30 days to think about it?
