ROFR Thread Jan to March 2023 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[BattyKoda]

It's important to keep in mind why you purchased in the first place: to enjoy your vacation in your happy place. So many families/individuals covet ever going to Disney and here we are being so incredibly fortunate on the Disboards.

The ROFR thread is minimally educational (but self-selecting and the data is skewed) with a giant helping of bravado and social reinforcement. Like any social media, it can result in upward social comparisons. Seeing the ROFR thread through this framework helps.

...and the ROFR thread doesn't mean a damn when you're having a blast on Space Mountain.

You lost me at Space Mountain...

Haha! I was thinking the same thing. Unless they are talking about the one at Disneyland, which is far superior and way less painful.

Disneyland all the way. Although sometimes the MK Space Mountain is a good replacement for my coffee to shake me up in the morning.

For those purchasing first contracts is there a UY that is more advantageous or is it simply lining up when points are added vs when you prefer to travel?

I'm still new to DVC but I've been told to get a UY a few months before you typically plan on traveling. So if you like to go in October, get a April, June, August UY.

It's also not necessary to get the absolute very best deal, just a good one. The ROFR thread leads to a bit of a one-upsmanship vibe, and it's easy to get caught up in that.

Some of us just like the thrill of the hunt! Honestly I would gladly shop and negotiate for others if I had more time.

Is Mason a good title company (easy to work with, fast response, etc.)?

I just had an AKV contract close with them. They were very quick in reaching out to me and getting everything completed. No complaints.

I just offered $66pp less than listing at BCV and got countered at $38pp less, going to sit and think on next move

It's impressive they responded at all! I haven't been gutsy enough to go that far below asking, but I did just offer $40 below on a contract and waiting to see if the seller responds. Good for you for being bold! Worst they can say is no...or not respond at all.

Congrats!! Who is the title company? I am waiting on Mason. Was hoping to get the package today even though it just passed yesterday lol but my girl Cammy is out. So hoping she is back Monday.

I admit I didn’t even look at use year when we bought our first contract in January. I just saw a good price on a resort we liked for the number of points we were looking for and we jumped.

Can you explain the reasoning to this? I keep going back and forth on various UY but it's hard because there are 3 different months we like to travel.

if you put "use year "in the search on these forums for thread titles only you will find many threads with much information to help you understand this and why use year is important to your travel times.
