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

Isn't there a one month limit to a DVC stay? I assume per resort.

I think that’s per reservation.

I have 9 all in my name purchased before the hubby.

I own all 8 under my name. My DH can careless.

My goal is staying for a month when I retired. Studio and one bedroom every other week.

I feel like this will be me soon. Just purchased my first in February. I have been stalking all the resale sites and have become addicted to this board. Told my hubby I want to put an offer on another and he said no, especially not knowing how the economy will be soon. I keep considering just putting my name on it and not both and he will never know. Lol

Ditto!!! We are in early stages of the ROFR waiting game for our first contract. It was a bit of battle to convince DH, so while I think he will be agreeable to adding on in a few years once we have actually had a chance to experience our membership lol, he’s definitely a no-go right now and I’m getting fomo of epic proportions.

We are in the process of booking our first "get the H E double hockey sticks out of PA" post retirement trip for next Jan / Feb. We're dipping our toes in the water a bit and booking 3 1/2 weeks split between HHI, CCV and VB. If that all goes well, we'll expand - hopefully being able to be gone 5-6 weeks each winter.

Let the snow fall! We won't be there .

It took me a little over 2 years to reach 1750 points.
I . Must . Stop.
Retirement is a priority.

But when you do retire, you’ll still be able to afford Disney. That’s my entire goal. Plan for retirement.

Key point: I already am retired!

Same. Well, I’m half way there anyway. Hubby has motorcycles and an airplane. I have DVC contracts and Disney trips.

 

[ambrosatb]

My guess this is not real

Someone’s idea of a joke.

I guarantee you its not a joke, when we came to terms on the contract I was almost certain DIS was going to exercise ROFR, when we got the email stating it had been waived my wife and I were in shock.......

 

[ambrosatb]

Was this an international seller?

I do not believe so.

 

[ambrosatb]

that's amazing, congrats! is it a US seller?

Thank you! We are super excited to finally be DVC owners...... Yes I believe so.

 

[DKZB]

I always wonder if it's somewhat unsavory or sordid “sleeping around” at resorts that we don't even own at all. I have fears that the front desk is going to look at our reservation, coldly tell us our room number, and then whisper behind our back when we slink to the elevator.

Wow… little did I know the freaky club I was joining when I bought into DVC. I guess when in Rome…

Just a joke if my wife is reading this

Rented DVC for the 1st time this year for a May trip. 11 days, 3 resorts. 4 nights at AK Kidani SV, 3 nights RIV pref, 4 nights POLY standard.... The family was loving this BIG time... spoiled immediately by the theming and/or convenience, and felt we maybe... probably.... definitely need to become a part of this action on the inside!
=D
((I owe some special thank you emails to the renters who made an overdue vacation dream come true, while also getting us hooked on the idea of DVC))
This is attempt #1... working on a #2 for POLY ASAP with a different use year.
Big thanks to EVERYONE out there who has answered questions directly, or just for the amazing pile of info and entries on this gold mine of a board!!!

We rented points for the first time last April and the rest was history. I rented from an incredible nice owner who waitlisted and pieces together our trip. Answered a million questions from this new renter.
We stayed at BWV, BLT and Poly. BLT and BWV were game changer big time, their prime location totally spoiled us. We now have 4 contracts there and 4 other ones.
Two different UY 6 months apart allow us to go all year long without jeopardizing any points.

Same story, rented points in Feb of this year for a couple of different rooms at OKW. Extremely patient member worked to get me exactly what I wanted and was super helpful. Vacation was absolutely amazing and then made the mistake to listen to the DVC fan podcast, then the boards here and I was done for. Put in an offer for my first contract, lost patience and bought direct and then added 3 more contracts. looking forward to some amazing memories.

Except DVC took my first SSR deal and I got annoyed so I picked up the phone and bought BLT for $245 direct.
It was definitely an impulse buy but that allowed us to buy the sorcerer’s passes when they were available for 5 minutes. I’m grateful for that and the many trips we already been on since.

 

[GVLSoccerGuy]

Ha. We took our 3yo in March to WDW before we knew anything about DVC. When we got back, my wife and I changed our 10yr anniversary plans for next year from returning to Sandals to spending 6 nights at the Poly. We decided to rent DVC points to test it out. A few weeks later, 10 months before our “trying it out” trip, we put in an offer. We keep telling people “we’re those weird Disney people now!”

Yup- we are leaving NY Day from PA, stopping in HHI, then Kidani/BLT/BCV- one more night at HHI on the way home (just me and my husband).
Then like a week later I’m leaving husband at home and taking the kids on Disney Fantasy with another night at Kidani beforehand.

January in PA is not my style.
