We had a plan so we were able to get this one in right away. We offered OVER asking which seemed ridiculous but our agent advised us that Disney was taking almost every Saratoga that was under $102

We are the sellers and still haven't heard. Day 31. Wanted to share since it seems ROFR is taking really long right now.

Since Disney has 30 days, if they exceed that time frame, does that mean they waive their ROFR?

Disney isn't capped at 30 days....you have to give them a minimum of 30 days but they have until closing if they want.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

Good Luck! What made you change your mind from AKV to SSR?

We were looking for a mostly stripped contract with a Feb UY. Started with AKV since that is where we already own. There are only 3 AKV contracts available with a Feb UY with our broker and all are more than we need/want. My husband and I have been watching the AKV contracts go over the last few days and formulated a back up plan SSR has nearly the same amount of time left on the contract and dues are lower than AKV. These points were bought strictly so we can occasionally book larger units and take extended family or to use for places like Hawai’i or Vero (we are off peak travelers so I’m not real worried about home resort priority).

we currently own poly and AKV so we’ve covered the buy where you want to stay thing LOL

I wish! I will feel bad for our buyer if Disney buys this back because this would be the 3rd contract they'll lose and the 19th is only 4 days away. I'm really starting to wonder if Disney is buying it back and this is why it's taking so long.

My guess is that there are three levels of price per point that Disney either
a. Takes almost immediately,
b. Passes almost immediately, or
c. Sits as long as possible to see if they have a direct buyer.

I would guess those numbers are a moving target that change daily. I’ve *heard* That the wait list to buy BCV is so long they are going to close it so I would Guess Disney is taking the contract you are selling

As an unrelated aside, our agent told us yesterday that asking the seller to pay closing costs increases your chances of having Disney take it back...

Of course your agent said this.

You're probably right about the levels. It's a big contract that could be divided up and we are paying 2019 dues in full. Buyer pays closing.

I would have to go back to look up the details to post officially, but my VGF August 150 point contract was taken last week. Fingers crossed on the new one that got sent yesterday for ROFR.

*Edited to reflect that I am paying closing*

On 1/13 I got a call from my guide offering me OCT UY points @ SSR. Coincidence? Most likely. But I didn't take the points, so if your contract passes, we can pretend you have me to thank.

I think people will start hearing on Thursday. When DVC has filled all the waitlists it can. They know 80% of the people waiting will not buy after today.

I think you are on to something. They notified our broker that they took our contract about 2 hours after the price increase announcement broke

I thought something similar had happened when I was offered directly what appeared to be the same points I’d submitted for ROFR, but I was advised that it was impossible as Disney cannot offer any points to sellers until they are in their name.

what was the price per point on the taken?

Hi everyone. I suppose you have all heard by now that Disney announced today that people who buy a resale contract after January 19th, 2019 will ONLY be able to use their contract points to EXCHANGE into a DVC resort. Apparently, this is being interpreted to mean that people who purchase a resale contract after that date will NOT have access to the 7 - 11 month Home Resort Priority Booking window, and will only be able to book in the 0 to 7 month window.

I know someone in the process of buying a contract. They have done ALL of their part, but are waiting for it to be finalized by the seller and broker. I told them to call their broker. Their broker said that the Cut-Off date of Jan 19th is the date that applies to ROFR date, so I expect that a lot of people who are just thinking about it are going to jump in and make offers and get the ball rolling right now.

I just joined DVC less than a year ago. Trying to figure out if I should add on as I don't have much time left before the new rules.

 

[DVCdisneyfam]

Woohoo!

Congratulations. You made it before the new rules!
