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

[JereMary]

Thank you for the congrats I really hope yours gets waived too JereMary… It's hard to see contracts which were submitted after yours get through isn't it. I think you're at 24 days now, I was convinced that ours would get taken when it got to 30 days but please hang in there and stay positive. Sending massive good luck wishes your way

Thanks so much for the good vibes!!

Yaaay! Just got the news that we passed
ThinkBelieveDream&Dare---$106-$23372-200-AKV-Dec-69/18, 200/19, 200/20- sent 1/31, passed 3/3

Wow, it's such a relief to get a positive decision.
Thank you to everyone for the guidance, and for the useful hints and tips I've found throughout the boards.
Can't wait to plan our first trip as members

We will be AKV December UY neighbors, since we passed this week too! Congrats!

I know there is lots of talk about the drunken monkey! but it seems obvious to me Disney was taking contracts sent to ROFR before the new restrictions took place. We
sent a contract for BLT 160 @ $133 had points for 19 & 20 it was taken after about 35 days. I saw contracts even higher taken during this period. Then we sent a contract for BLT 175@$125 a point with points 19 & 29 it passes in about 8 days. I realize it was close to or in forclosure but with the amount passing ROFR now it seems they really controlled passing contracts before the deadline.

We bought at BLT to use it there we own direct over 500 points so it does not really matter to us in the long run. But how difficult will it make it to use our points at the orgininal
13 resorts if so many owners are limited to them?

This gives me great hope mine will pass as it was a 200 SSR same use year, loaded to the tits as well and we got it at 106

Wow. Congratulations!

I'm going to turn over a new leaf and remain patient on this one. I'll wait until Monday to call and see if it passed ROFR or not!

Looks like a great deal!

Learned I’d passed this morning when I saw Mason Title’s email w/ my closing documents.

So nice to see so many passing after the long drought!

No different than it is now. As of this particular instant, we are all limited to them so by definition this is as limited as it gets.

I think This is probably pretty accurate. Part of me now wishes we had waited since we already have 250 points that WERE purchased before 1/19 but I guess ultimately we will gift one of our contracts to our son so it’s nice to know that all of them will be eligible for future resorts.

Were you the one that had Disney calling you up to offer you more BLT points direct right after yours was taken, despite not even being on a waitlist?

That to me says that their waitlists must not be very long. The buying binge they went on at the beginning of this year probably sated the direct demand they had. It appears right now might be a sweet spot for buying bargains on resale. That's what I'm hoping anyway. We'll see!

I feel like this might be true also. But none of the sellers I'm offering to are willing to take my low offers!

@LadyLvsTramp I sent you a private message...

Glad it only took two tries - now I hope I actually get the closing docs in a reasonable amount of time, I'm a little worried after seeing some of the prior posts about First American Title. Need them to hurry so I can start plotting how to blow those banked points from 2017 and then bank the remaining 2018! Good luck everyone!

I hope you have better luck with First American Title than I have had, brouse99 because tomorrow will be 6 weeks since I passed ROFR and still no closing documents I sent an e-mail to the contract person at Fidelity last Thursday and no response so I sent an e-mail to the broker today My contract says: "This contract shall be closed within 60 days of the effective date, unless extended by other provisions on the contract." My effective date is 12/31/18 and that makes the 60 days March 1st!! There are no other provisions in the contract that address any extensions. I don't have any 2018 points like you do so I really, really hope you close in time so you can use them

You can call First American directly and ask for your closing agent. If you want the phone number, PM me, and I can give it to you.

Took some social media detox time and had 20 pages to catch up on this morning !

bama314---$140-$23030-160-BLT-Feb-0/18, 0/19, 160/20- sent 1/16, taken 2/21

We were really surprise Disney took this one with no 2019 points, but I guess they are taking a lot of BLT lately.

Finally got news...

Carli_h---$137-$29436-200-BLT-Dec-200/18, 200/19, 200/20- sent 1/16, taken 2/21

Not surprised but at least we know. It obviously wasn’t meant to be.

Sorry!

Ohboyitseddie---$150-$16175-100-BLT-Oct-0/17, 0/18, 100/19, 100/20- sent 1/24, PASSED 2/22

Yeah !

Hopefully the addonitis will fade after this one!

Fingers crossed! Just when you think this might be taken after reading the thread ... a couple pop up that passed at a lower price so don’t give up hope.

I just got an e-mail from my broker. The dream is officially over. Not at all a surprise - actually glad to just have resolution. Will probably take some time to figure out our next move. Thanks so much for this board/thread - it was very helpful to me, especially given the prolonged nature of this particular process.

Best of luck to all still waiting - especially those that are way past the 30 day mark!

Try again !

After almost 2 years of following these boards I have finally submitted my first contract! I don’t have high hopes of this passing with all of the recent BLT contracts being taken but I need to start somewhere! Wish me luck!

Good luck !

Long time board lurker here, so finally decided to join the party. My wife and I have been looking at DVC for a few years and finally decided to bite the bullet through resale. Going for a smaller contract to begin with since it is just the two us. Trying to go in with low expectations, but hoping for some pixie dust. This wait is going to be the worst part!

Best of luck !

Completely shocked....and excited. International Sellers by the way.

Great news for you especially with what has been taken lately !

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT I AM STILL IN SHOCK !!!

Wow...good for you !

Just got the email from our broker and......we passed!!!!

Now the race is on to use those holding points by 5/31.

Great price and shouldn’t be a problem getting the points into holding by end of May.

TexasChick123---$165-$22222-125-VGC-Dec-32/18, 125/19, 125/20- sent 2/12, passed 3/1

Yep, we finally found one at VGC that we liked. I've been looking for over a year! The price was right as well as the amount of points. That's a lot of great news today for all the passes!

Great news for you !
