ROFR Thread January to March 2019 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[ClarksDad]

I found that the first 10 days of waiting were actually the worst. The first couple of days I was still riding high from the excitement of getting it submitted, so it was on my mind all the time. Then for the next 2 weeks I was seeing all of these other people's contracts pass after only 9 days, 10 days, etc, so I kept thinking "today could be the day!"

I think at about day 18 I managed to actually put it out of my mind for almost a week. Now that it's day 30, I'm back on high alert.


And mine is only a 50 pointer!

Wow- good luck! I saw your contract. That’s a great deal if you can get through. Here’s hoping- you might still get magical news!

CONGRATULATIONS! You’re one of those encouraging stories about passing on your third try. I’m thankful you didn’t have to wait long to hear back on this one!!

Thank you so much!

Sorry to hear that. Looking forward to updates on your next one!

Well, the seller accepted this one too.

I should have known they were just wanting to get rid of it when they had a bunch of points set to expire at the end of this month (banked from 2017) and they had banked all of their 2018 points into 2019. Now I guess all of a sudden I have 2 DVC contracts about to be in the pipeline. Lord beer me strength.

Did you go for a 2nd at the same resort?

Uh oh, I'm waiting on a 2/27-submitted OKW. Sorry yours was taken. Glad you found a backup already!

Sorry to hear it got taken.
With the new rules about Flexible use year this size contract is making it much more valuable for Disney to ROFR.

I did see you were 1 of 3 of us who was waiting on OKW and you had sent yours in the day after me. I'm actually happy this one was taken because the next one has 75 points that's not stripped. Good luck to you and the waiting should be over soon.
PS You should be fine (fingers crossed) we tried to steal ours.....nothing ventured nothing gained.

!

I did! It’s another 50 point VGF contract. Not as low priced as the first, but it’s also super loaded with points. The contract will be going through soon and I can add it to the list!

And if by some miracle both contracts pass.... the next step is convincing my wife that we should keep both of them. That might be the hardest sell of all.

Thebigman65---$110-$19502-160-AKV-Aug-0/18, 138/19, 160/20- sent 3/18, passed 3/29

Looks like its AKV Day today!....Third times a charm!.....so pumped.....we already own there, but this will let us go more, or have larger family vacay's!

Happy for those who passed and bummed for those who didn't

Congratulations neighbor! It took us 3 tries to get there too. Very happy for you!

RamblinWreck can I ask where you found this? I sent a pm. Thanks and I hope both contracts pass for you!!

No problem!

My first one was found on Fidelity (it was listed at $148/pt. I offered $136 and they shockingly accepted)

This new one was on *************.

I keep my eye on all of them though!

Awesome! Glad I could help!

I assume it was the 100 point June one?

 

[Linda Goudailler]

The mouse ate another one. Waited 37 days on ROFR and heard the sad news today. Oh, well, time to up the ante a little higher.
Grandma Minnie --- $106-$10,600-100-AKV-June-0/18, 0/19, 100/20 - sent 2/21, taken 3/30

 

[Iestyn5150]

Sorry if this is a silly question but is there a website that shows all the passes and takes as they happen?

Not a consolidated comprehensive list as far as I know. I check the various brokers for blogs. Some do monthly ROFR and sales reports so you can get a feel for the trends.

Thanks. So can I assume that when you get an answer on the ROFR you also get sent a confirmation of the original listing showing the pass or take, for example ‘Grandma Minnie --- $106-$10,600-100-AKV-June-0/18, 0/19, 100/20 - sent 2/21, taken 3/30’
