ROFR Thread April to June 2024 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[ClaraOswald]

Have we seen anything pass this week? I feel like it's been a while.

I think most people overcompensate for the dues, aside for Vero Beach and Hilton Head.

People who are brand new to shopping for contracts tend to under-appreciate the impact of dues, but experienced people tend to overcorrect in my opinion.

Old Key West dues are about $1.50 higher than the average non-OKW WDW resort.

If you can save $10, $20, $30 per point on your initial purchase, it's going to be literally decades before the higher dues offset the lower initial purchase price.

I kind of had this thought recently when I was comparing getting RIV or OKW direct and there’s only about a $1 difference in dues so for 150pts that’s only $150 more a year. That adds up of course, but it’s more palatable in $150 increments. We still decided RIV for different reasons but the difference in dues stopped being a relevant reason to not get OKW for us, to each their own, of course.

I saw this contract and debated it - I think was last priced at $140?

This will be a good test for ROFR

Hope it passes… but if there’s any pattern at all in what gets ROFRd I would think this one fits the mould. Although it’s smaller than others that have been taken… so maybe not! Fingers crossed!

What's the estoppel fee? Is that just the goofy charge-for-nothing that Fidelity adds on because they can?

 

[Massachusetts]

I believe the estoppel certificate is filed after Disney passes on ROFR. The Estoppel Certificate is the document that states the contract has cleared ROFR.

Will they ROFR something with no 23/24/25 points….

Hmmm… I didn’t spot 25 was stripped as well… possibly not but the other contracts they took were stripped I think

With a little luck we will test that monster some ourselves

I check back every day to see if @mblsj's contract has passed, going to add this one to my "obsessively watching for no real reason" list.

Agreed. This is my new form of entertainment now that my contract has completely closed.

If you haven’t already, make sure to ask the seller to bank those 23 points for you…unless you’re hoping to use them late summer.

That was part of the terms of our offer. I like where your head's at.

Is there any other reason?

 

[mblsj]

Is there any other reason?

Well, people watch golf. Can't be for the wrecks. To each his own I guess.
