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

That works for me. You keep me in check from buying more Aulani points. When they run the next promotion… I’ll be counting on you.

The heart wants what the heart wants. We love staying in Aulani. But I hate the expensive dues, the degraded amenities, and that annoying room tax. Disney is gonna haveto sell it for $100pp to sell all their points. But yes, I will try my best to convince you otherwise.

Example: Of contracts that were taken in January 2022 I can tell you the average ROFR timeline was around 19 days. Again, this is just looking at contracts that were bought back.

yes, I am here for that, Paul!
and here's some longitudinal to whet your whistle....
In winter 2020, I was in ROFR purgatory for 16 days. (AUL)
In Spring 2021, RoFR was 28 days (BW) and now
in Feb 2022 (GCV), I am expecting and hoping for14 days. hehe!

I am thinking resales are slower in Jan/Feb due to bigger dues payments. (I am available for an accompanying interview on how I survive the ROFR struggle!!)

Dues are not bad. Especially if subsidized. The dramatic increases are speculation. Beach and main draw is not degraded, everything else is just sprinkles. Room tax is a few extra dollars. If you are coming back, this is the way to curb inflation. I'm in for the win with AUL. lol. I am actually trying to convince myself why i don't have to sell my AUL contract as i buy a new home resort this year.

I agree. It’s all speculation and getting points definitely curbs rack rate inflation. Perhaps it’s my way of psyching myself from buying more points. My annual dues is already over $5k . My Aulani concerns are legit IMO. At current prices, an exit strategy seems more difficult. And the room tax on a GV is NOT a few dollars.

I actually agree with you exactly half the time. I waffle.

Thought I'd thrown our info in here. We've been looking for a BCV contract and have already lost one to Disney and now just had our offer accepted on a second one. Nothing to do but agonize and wait now!

buzzrelly---$158-$31600-200-BCV-Apr-0/21, 347/22, 200/23- sent 1/13/22, taken 1/27/22

buzzrelly---$167-$36740-220-BCV-Apr-0/21, 236/22, 220/23- sent 2/8/22,

I decided not to low-ball since I'm hoping to be at a price that Disney doesn't find too appealing, though it's really at the top of what I'd be willing to pay for BCV, and only because we really want to own there and it's still just about $100 less/point than direct.

Wish us luck!

Edited to add that ours went to ROFR yesterday

I just got back from an 8 night GV stay at Aulani...daily transient tax came out to around $70 per day. I wish my AD's were $5k annually btw

believe me. I waffle everyday. That’s why we love these boards to keep us sane, or insane.

For those taxes, we could buy a whole ohana + Paul some serious Mickey waffles with .

I don’t know. Those Mickey waffles at the Makahiki are steep…..

If we were able to look at the average time all sold contracts are taking for ROFR, is that something you all would be excited to see? Obviously, there would be outliers, but I feel like that would be a fun number for people in ROFR limbo.

It might be interesting to see the data on how the time for ROFR fluctuates during different times of the year and speculate on why the times vary. *My two resales seemed to be at particularly extended times at 39 days and 28 days respectively.* I think only a month or two of comparisons wouldn't present a large enough picture. Quarters or seasons, maybe. During their times of closing for trainings compared to nothing going on. As someone else said, around the time of dues payment deadline compared to summer.

I’d be interested. Though, it seems like a lot of work to come to the conclusion that we all already suspect. There is no rhyme or reason…

Comparing last fall to now, BWV ROFR increased by $27. The only one that comes near that is BCV at a $16 increase. (eating waffles, justifying last year's BWV purchase)
