ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[The Jackal]

Ok so the DVC current promotions end tonight. What are the chances we see AKV and SSR direct discounts tomorrow? After raising the price to $200, I could definitely see incentive pricing now to make it look cheaper again.

I think it is highly unlikely. They raise the prices to make RIV look a much better deal. Right now they have 3 resorts they are selling. So it might be a while before they have great deals on the sold out resorts. But who knows what DVC does.

They discounted Bay Lake Tower and Boardwalk within the last six months for seemingly no reason.

But that was before VGF went on sale right? Not to say they wouldn’t do it again, but I suspect it’s to get inventory for either future direct sales or to offer more room rentals.

I wouldn't be shocked to see a $30 discount at SSR/OKW/AKV or a $50 discount at Aulani 300+. I think they want a drop product to put in front of people who balk at VGF/RIV prices. RIV and VGF are being sold almost as dual-flagships so neither one can really back up the other.

I could also envision an Aulani fire sale when DLT goes on sale.

I guess we’ll see as early as tomorrow if they’re offering any new sales for other DVC resorts.

Ugh. Please keep us posted on this. My close date is in 7 days and was hoping to hear from Disney any day. I guess they are behind schedule.

Just got our closing docs. Unfortunately for us our bank is already closed and we leave for vero beach tomorrow morning. I will have to see if I can get an extension. We will not be back before the settlement due date oh well.

Do the new promotions typically start immediately after the current ones expire?

Yes

Going on day 42, ugh! I'm pretty positive Disney will take this one too so I'm not sure what's taking so long!

Today is day 72 waiting on ROFR. Absolutely ridiculous.

This makes me so angry!! I'm only on day 44 and was starting to get anxious seeing all these other contracts getting some sort of notification. Do we have any recourse as buyers once it goes a certain point beyond the closing day. My contract with dvc resale indicates "on or before" with a closing date but does note that if the estoppel is received with less than 30 days before the closing date the closing date will be extended 30 days.

This can't go on forever, right? AT some point past the closing day can we back out and get the deposit back and try again on a new contract? 72 days is ridiculous-- it seems to me that the broker should have been giving Disney a hard time well before this point.

I've been thinking that something for AKV might be coming with the amount of ROFRs recently. Even with the resorts in active sales, I agree with @CaptainAmerica that BLT and BWV had promotions when there were active sales. BLT (in Feb) was only a month or so before VGF2 started selling, I believe.

But those were before they had VGF sales. It gave them two WDW to sell at once. Now they don’t need another resort, especially when March and April sales were strong.

So, it would just surprise me to see it now.. when things level off? Maybe.

 

[AKVDisneyFan]

The people that contribute to this thread is such a small subset of the overall ROFR submissions that it wouldn’t be useful to track that data, or at the very least be very difficult to extrapolate any kind of potential ROFR decision since we also don’t know what units Disney has/needs. Plus there’s the extra work required to get that info that you mention (although I personally immediately look for the seller’s contract on the comptrollers website once I get the initial paperwork). I once walked away from an agreed offer after I found the sellers contract upon receiving the initial paperwork. The seller was essentially flipping a contract (they bought it a couple months prior and didn’t use any of the points and were selling it for a $40/pt profit!). I couldn’t stomach buying the contract anymore knowing that they were making that much of a profit, it no longer felt like a deal to me.

***nevermind, not the right contract

This prompted me to look at the contract that we just passed ROFR on… it shows the deed was recorded on 3/29 of this year. They own several contracts at different resorts but I’m assuming this is the correct contract because it’s the only Poly one that shows up for the right name.

 

[Jenglish13]

Has anyone closed with TRCS? They're friendly enough, but lord are they sloooooow.

They're the title company on my contract. We got the ROFR waiver on 5/24 and was told by the broker that the closing docs would be received within 2 to 3 weeks. This talk of Disney taking back their waivers is troubling. Has that ever happened before?

This is the first report I have ever read about in my 13 years as an owner. So, I think there is more to why it happened.

IMO, it would make sense to me the wrong info was sent and that it was caught and fixed vs them simply changing their mind.

I know I overpaid but boy was I tired of the ROFR game...it's not for the faint of heart. And at least I bought at the resort I truly wanted and want 11 month booking priority...good luck to everyone waiting!!!
