I'm fully committed to Yoose Year tho.

I was talking to a resale sales broker yesterday and I mentioned I had a contract in ROFR (I pronounced it "AR-OH-EF-AR"). Later in the conversation he said something like "good luck with the contract in ROFR" (He pronounced it "ROW-FER").

So all this time have I been saying mispronouncing it? Are people pointing at me and snickering behind my back?

**Editing just because I realized I spoke in error. I didnt pronounce each letter before. I used to read each word in my head. I know it's trivial keep up this discussion, but just didn't want to say I said something one way when I didn't.**

I was pronouncing it the same as you (each letter) until I saw a DVC Fan episode where Derek D. pronounced it rowfer. I changed the way I said it after that.

Of course, all this is in my head when I read it. I'm the sole owner of my contracts and don't really discuss the process with anyone in person. Just here on the boards or the FB group. #mytribe

I say yoose year.

I wonder why I still haven't heard back on my AKV international seller sent 5/27...

Because there is zero rhyme or reason to the way these are handled.

Can anyone tell me what my availability for AKL will likely be for February? I am waiting on Rofr so I am guessing I am a couple months out from booking. Any thoughts on availability come that time? Thanks.

Must be a slow morning if we're debating ROFR and UY pronunciations lol

Good luck to all those waiting, hopefully you hear something soon!

I wonder if anyone will show up to complain about the digressions from hard ROFR (or is it now ROWFER?) data?!

Well, you know...it's vitally important that the correct terminology is used here.

 

[Mnymkr11]

International seller?

Nope, someone local

My general rule of thumb for availability at the 7 month mark is studios are generally available at SSR, OKW, Poly, and AKL, 1BR pretty much everywhere. Except for fall and early Dec, all bets are off then.

But Rowfer does make it easier to remember what the letters stand for. We've all seen FROR and you know that's not right. I probably still "read" ROFR as "right of first refusal." I don't think I'd ever say Rowfer.

I'm fully committed to Yoose Year tho.

I read it that way too, but will often say it as roffer (offer with an r in front, rather than rowfer).

If you are looking for value studio, value 2 bedroom or any club level rooms, near 0. Value one bedroom and others are pretty good chance.

It’s pretty open at the 11 - 7 month mark because they have so many rooms (as long as you’re not booking value or club level).

That's how Scooby Doo would say it. As in "Ruh-roh...Risney rook my roffer!"

How about standard 1 bedroom if I can book for a couple more months?

But what about the 5 or 6 month mark?

ndv1985 - $135-$15,072-100-AKV-Feb-0/21-44/22-100/23-sent 5/18 - taken 6/22

This was our first attempt at buying DVC. Off to find another listing now

Dang. My first DVC offer is waiting ROFR as well, at the same AKV price per point as yours. I'm gonna start looking.

 

[HIRyeDVC]

Could it be because you are in the state of Hawaii? The way First AM explained it to me was because I was out of state/country. Not sure if that's true... but why wouldn't First Am use docusign for AUL when they use it for all other closings?

Not sure. Both the seller and I were Hawaii residents. The title company was in Pennsylvania. Everything was done with docusign. It was the fastest process I ever had buying resale.

Were you here for the Use/Use Year debate?

Is it "Yooze Year," as in "the year in which you use your points" or "yoose year," as in "the year in which you have use of your points"?

I've always said yoose, but Sean Falk says yooze, as does one line in the Member Services hold spiel.

Don't get me started on the "yooze" people. They should be immediately banned. And jailed. We can't have people like that walking among us.

All depends when in February. President weeks is pretty busy. We don't allow people to share what it looks like now as it changes way too often and until one can book, it really doesn't matter. Figure you will be eligible to book in August, which puts you 5 months out. AKV is big so its possible you will be able to get something, but it will depend on how many nights, room size, etc. The good news is that AKV, SSR, and OKW tend to be the ones that are easier to get less than 7 months out than the near park resorts!

 

[christophles]

But what about the 5 or 6 month mark?

Availability is fluid at any resort so we cannot advise what the situation might look like at that time as it will certainly be different from what it looks like today. As soon as your points are loaded, I would begin searching and booking at a resort you are eligible to stay in with the best availability and then waitlist for the days that you need.
