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

If they had been my use year I'd have been tempted! We actually love OKW (my husband especially), but I'll only consider the extended contracts.

Same. If we get a BLT/BWV style $40+ point promo, it's the one resort I'd consider buying Direct.

 

[Ginamarie]

We now have 2 use years(ps I think it is more of a pain than people had said) but neither is August and after buying our BLT I think we have enough points with our 465 yearly. We are likely having to cancel a 10 night stay in July at OKW to use the vacation time for the Make a Wish trip. Was looking forward to all the space in a 2bdrm OKW lockoff, and especially the moonlight magic.

Yeah the space at OKW really can't be beat. Luckily, DVC points mean you'll have another opportunity to do that trip in the future!

I have two use years but three different membership numbers because I own with different family members, and it's a big pain. I refuse to buy another contract that will generate another membership number at this point.

So funny!
@CaptainAmerica create a DVC resort stereotype thread in the DVC Resort forum so we can continue this discussion. Otherwise I suspect some "Fancy" moderator is going to come in here and yell at us for being off-topic.

And link it bc I’m new to the forums and completely lost as to where I’d find it!!

Just going to add that we forget the "old lady" people who like VGF! But, we should try to keep this one more on topic so its not as much hard work for @pangyal!!

Good price.

Not related other than we have to cancel a trip and hope DVC will return our points to the original use year but I have to tell my DVC ROFR people....my daughter had her make a wish trip(disney cruise) scheduled for December 2020, which of course was cancelled. They told us about 6 months ago Make a Wish Canada would not be allowing cruises for at least 2 years, which is too late for our daughter who turns 18 this year. They also weren't allowing any travel outside of Canada for all of 2021 and 2022 and she would lose her wish if she didn't use it by the time she turned 18.

We have been going back and forth of what she could do as she is special needs, ie very different interests than a regular kid. She pretty much just cares about wanting friends(being special needs all she has one friend in Florida and one friend from her class here in Toronto) and Disney. So no point getting a camping trailer, a room makeover, shopping spree, etc that so many kids did because travel wasn't allowed. We asked if a support animal was allowed, we were told no. So long story made long(sorry had to share details to build it up like it was for us) they just wrote us to tell us they are allowing US travel starting in July. Ie her second choice after the cruise was Disneyland and that will be allowed!!!!!!! No idea how its going to work in the next 5 months till she turns 18, nor how we are going to get the time off when we already booked all of our vacation plus a week unpaid. But who carrrrrres, she (and the family) can go to disneyland!!!!!!!!!!!!! where none of us have ever been.

Don't want to make more work for pangyal, but I just wanted to say, I hope your daughter's trip is as wonderful as my daughter's was in 2013. We went to WDW back when DVC was nowhere on my radar. Excited for your whole family!

Does anyone feel like the market is slowing down across the board? I feel like new listings, signed contracts, and ROFR are all crawling at the moment.

I think people might be starting to wait it out. I know I am. Thinking about buying more but I'll wait and see if the economy tanks and I can get a better deal.

I was saying that the other day.... There are so few ROFR reports. And not nearly as many bids...

Hell yeah. Seeing more and more sellers offering to pay closing costs too. It is a strong buyers market.

I'm not seeing many new listings either, though. Granted, I'm only looking at a specific resort, a specific use year, and a specific range of points sizes, but it's been the same 8 contracts for like a month.

Thanks, its appreciated. I am very excited that it won't be a letdown for her now. It was going to be difficult because between us and the government she had almost anything she actually would want that we feel is safe for her to have(not safe for her to have a phone and such). Due to covid our government allowed her respite care money to be spent on lots of other things she would have wanted, so she has a nintendo switch, trampoline, computer, ipad, etc all from the government. She really just wants to meet with the characters and such.

Got an update email from my concierge this morning! Opened it...and..."Just letting you know we are still waiting for a decision from Disney in the process of ROFR." Hmmmmmph.

I think you are right. My brother asked my advice the other day, and I said be very picky with what you are looking for and try to get a deal. he is looking at Poly, and I think there is some room for prices to go down on Poly. Plus I don't think any have been taken back this year.

I’m waiting it out for BCV to hit under $100pp

VGC for mid to low 260s is my target. I see lots of contracts sitting on the market for many weeks/months and some starting to lower their price. Got one, going to start hunting for another soon

There’s ~2100 contracts for sale across the market which is up from about 300 12 months ago. So yes, it’s slowing, but listings aren’t the issue.
