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

[TexasChick123]

Thanks TexasChick123 for the clarification! I've been following this thread closely, as today is day 24 for me...and boy am I antsy! I was relieved to see the data...but as so many posters have said, I'd like to see the ratio of what was sold in a timefame and then what Disney decided to do with THOSE contracts. To me that would be more representative of what is happening than comparing this month's sales to the decisions that Disney made on last month's sales. If THAT makes sense! Ah the joy of making meaning from numbers!

Anyhow, here's mine, I finally got the formatting all right...I think:

BlondeBelle---$133-$25255-185-BLT-Jun-0/18, 7/19, 185/20- sent 1/10

I've had no word yet. Hoping this week, but sounds like it will probably be the week after. At least the wait is coming to an end!

Best of luck! We LOVE BLT!!! I hope you get good news soon.

Thank you!! We stayed at GFV and BLT for our wedding trip, and both fell in LOVE with BLT! It just felt like home, which frankly shocked us both.

I got a call letting us know that we need to sign an addendum to correct a contract # mistake so at least we know someone is looking at it.

Me too! Yesterday (2/3). My rep said this would go back in the line where it left off and to the committee next. Anyone have any insight into whether or not this has any good or bad impact on approval?

I don’t think it has any impact. One time they had my sellers and myself sign an addendum to the contract because of a minor mistake, and they took it. I would guess it’s just someone whose job is to verify all the info is correct before submitting it for a decision to the committee. I don’t think correcting a mistake makes it more or less likely they’ll take it as I’ve seen it go both ways on these boards.

Our rep basically said what you said- that they have a person who checks to make sure everything is correct before it goes to the committee for decision.

The error was that our contract listed 65 2019 points. It turns out that 23 of them are banked 2018 points so actually only 42 2019 points. I wanted to update my contract link for this discussion, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Can someone help me? Does it stay 65 in 2019 or do I change it to 23 in 2018 and 42 in 2019? I was going to note banked points but it wouldn't allow me to enter words, only a number. Thanks!

Does anyone know if DVC cares about how many people are on the contract? I only have myself listed, but I'm just curious to know if Disney takes this into consideration during ROFR

We're pretty sure that the 300 point contract that we put in for a few weeks ago will be taken. DH has already been contacted twice about it, had to make an addendum or something.

We've been contacted twice about one of the contracts we put in for. Pretty sure it's not a good sign, at least for us.

Probably a stupid question, but I received a “Buyers Open Escrow” form from our title company this morning. Is this just because they have our escrow money? Seems really late since they’ve had it for over 2 weeks. It lists a closing agent, so that’s why I’m a little confused.

I got one of those too with one of my contracts I bought in the past. I don’t know why they always send it so much after the contract has been submitted for ROFR. I can’t remember which title company it is, but it is common practice for them.

Just curious, what are your plans if your points get taken? I wasn’t planning on trying again, but now I just don’t know...

Just submit another offer. You'll eventually get one. It's all part of the process of saving a ton of cash on buying the exact same thing with less hassle. Remember, once you get the contract, you're set. It's not like you have to go through this every time.

We bought our DVC plans forward in an attempt to get the grandfathered in points. I’m not sure how I feel about buying resale with the restrictions.

I wish I knew what the DVC2 point allocation/program looked like. I suspect we will hold off until we have full visibility.

Good luck, @BlondeBelle! We also love BLT. Had planned to use BLT points as our "sleep around" points but there has been no sleeping around, yet. Maybe we have to wait 7 years?

Nobody heard today?

Nobody heard today?

I was told today by our broker that even though they submitted on Jan 10th disney didn't start the ROFR clock until jan 16th. Im not sure how that works but ok.

 

[jamie3631]

I don’t understand. I thought it goes based on when the contract was submitted. We are 18 days in on outlet third try, we got one, lost one, and now hoping we get this one. I have never heard anything like that. That’s odd.

 

[ScubaCat]

They have until the closing date, so there is no other "clock" that starts.

I don't plan on submitting again. I already have some points and just wanted to be able to do a larger room when we travel. This was my only one, so I'm really hoping it passes. Had they not changed the rules about resale points, I'm probably would have submitted for a new contract but I'd like them to be exactly the same in usability.
