We have SSRs passing at $115 and SSRs being taken at $140. What a time to be alive.

I KNOW! I thought we'd be OK, yet here we are. It would have been cool if they could have decided sooner! I have vacations to plan!!

That's the worst part, like if you're taking it then take it and let me move on with my life, lol

Exactly. It would be awesome if DVC had a web app that allowed brokers to enter contract details and receive an immediate ROFR response.

That, unfortunately, would require an algorithm to make the immediate decision in an app which goes against them using the animals at Animal Kingdom Lodge to make the random decision based on many random inputs.

Yep, been there and done that! Buying direct is definitely easy.

There's some speculation that Disney makes ROFR arbitrary and frustrating on purpose as a way to incentivize Direct.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ROFR, I fear no buybacks, for DVC Resale Market is at my side. Marissa and Derek comfort me. They preparest a table before me in the presence of Goofy and Pluto; they anoint my head with savings, my checking account runneth over.

If anyone wants to spend more money while they are waiting for their contracts to go through... the DVC Dooney & Bourke is 20% off, and then an additional 30% with the savings code on shop disney...plus you can use rakuten and some of the chase cards are givine 10% back up to $5...

HUGE missed opportunity with that design. The patches should have been all of the different resorts, not just different versions of "DVC - 1991."

Did you buy the last Indigo Tommy Bahama in XL?

QQ - in everyone's experience, does it take longer for international contracts to close? I'm going back in with another attempt...

I think they did one like that in the past

Longer to close or longer to ROFR?

ROFR you have an extremely high chance of success. Disney taking a contract from an international seller is almost unheard of.

Close was taking longer during COVID because a lot of countries had limited hours at various government agencies where they needed to get paperwork notarized (or that country's equivalent of notarized). Peoples experiences varied greatly though. I bought from an international seller who was extremely on top of their paperwork and we closed quickly, despite a couple of days delay while they waited for a government appointment, then I had a domestic seller who was completely negligent, didn't check his email, didn't read his paperwork, took forever to sign things, etc.

I am going through one right now, and I am hoping not as the contract has expiring points that I want to rent! We’ll see though, it is definitely tight..

That being said, I think it depends a little bit on the specific country the individual is in. I believe in some countries it is a little bit harder/takes more effort to get the required actions completed than it would for a seller in the US.

If you are looking at a resort that is being taken often through ROFR though, I think it is worth it regardless. At least in my mind, a longer closing more than makes up for not having to go through the whole offer and ROFR process again.

Good luck!

Great information, thank you! The contract I'm offering on has been reduced a few times, and I'm still offering more than I think I should, but, I really don't want to hear no again from Disney (and you better believe I was THRILLED to see it was an international contract! . Hopefully I'm back in the wait sooner rather than later!

Yes it does. But according to my title company Disney won't buy it back. I know it's happened on a few occasions, but I believe it's RARE. I just bought a international contract. It took the seller two weeks to get her documents notarized. We are still closing within the 60 day time frame though. It passed ROFR on 2/27 and closing next week.

VB subsidized on Fidelity, no one is taking about it today?

We never had Jersey week off on Long Island!

That’s why it’s Jersey week! If all of downstate NY got the same extremely random week off of school they’d definitely have a nickname for that too!
