ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Sandisw]

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that title companies give themselves up to 21 days to issue closing documents. I don’t follow the Title business, but from what I gather Mason is just as busy as Magic and First Am, and they can get documents out the SAME DAY of hearing the ROFR decision.

Sorry for the rant… it just frustrates me how there is such a disparity out there.

I have used Mason a few times over the last few years and I did not get documents right away. And it didn’t matter the agent.

So they too have taken longer at times.

Currently working with Timeshare Title Co based out of PA. Never heard or worked with them before but so far very good experience. Got my closing docs the day after ROFR and got it back from sellers 3 days later. They even have an online real time tracker that shows where in the process it’s at. Only bad thing so far is they only accepted a money order, cashiers check, or a check directly from the bank which took 10 days to process. My contract passed ROFR on 3/7, and the deed closed, sent to Disney on 3/23. Standard timeline I think.

Alright DVC peeps, about to pull the trigger on VGF2. I need to choose an UY and I can’t decide. Currently I have:
215 April all BWV
150 September Aulani
310 October at BLT(125 direct) and CCV (60)
I’m adding 200 points, which UY would you choose to cover the entire year?

If you pick a Dec UY... are the dues prorated so you only have to pay dues on 1 month? That might be a good option to save a little.

Dues are based on calendar year, not UY. Thus making a purchase now would prorate only up to today's date, regardless of what UY (and thus what UY points) you are getting.

Save money yes but 4 UY

Normally, yes. But, with VGF points, they are starting with 2022, so for a Dec UY, you only pay one month this year.

VGF2 will open in June so even with June UY or before dues only start on June 1.

When are you likely to want to use them at VGF? It’d buy them in the UY that works out best for that.

If it doesn’t matter, I would go with September so you have WDW points in each.

I’m learning towards April because BWV points are premium points and not wise to use them elsewhere.

For the love of everything please pick one of your existing 3 UY's

Definitely but which one?

Im not sure I understand what you mean by this.

Haha I'm glad you don't want to add a 4th! I manage 2 and that will be it for me. You have a lot of October points so I'd go with April as well. That way you are more balanced with points 6 months apart. Also you have a monorail resort already in October and your Epcot resort in April. Not entirely sure that's relevant but if you are booking 2 different trips a year you probably would like a monorail option in both of them? Your Aulani September UY can either be used every other year at home resort or used to fill in where points are needed in your other 2 UY. Good luck!

If I would like to stay somewhere else besides BWV I don’t want use BWV points.

The reason for selecting April shouldn’t be based on whether or not if you consider the points to be premium or not.

When are you most likely to travel? If you travel in the beginning of your UY(this case April) then April is a good choice. If you travel mostly during March then April is a bad choice.

 

[Hoppy-tn]

personally I would go for one other than april if you plan on having these beyond 2042 So that way you are down to 2 use years when boardwalk expires.

Great point! Or I would still want an April UY because it covers the year along with October. My head is exploding

We travel in April and November( for now) while my kids are still in school for the next 8+ years.

Sure and that's understandable...I can live with four or five days...but 21 is unacceptable.
