ROFR Thread January to March 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Bina Mischka]

Can I ask what you offered per point?

First contract was 109$ for 160 points and second 107$ for 200 points. I think I have no chance

there's no pattern or science but I feel $110 is the guide they go by

I really really hope so!

Up until recently, I would have disagreed. A lot of us bought in the fall for $100-$110. Disney took NO AKV contracts for like the last half of 2020. They took one in January, but it was priced at $92, so much lower than the going rate. For some reason, they have a need for AKV points all of a sudden. I have seen some other contracts sneak through recently in the $105/pp range too, so it may be certain use years that they want or certain units?

My thought is that Disney doesn't like having to pay MF's on the current years points and stripped contracts have more appeal when they have a large pool of developer points they can replenish that contract with for the new buyer. Also I am not sure but I think they have the ability to change the use year as well.

The direct pricing has discounts currently for a number of sold out resorts but not AKV, OKW, VGF, maybe AKV, OKW, VGF will start getting bought back more frequently if the next promotion includes discounts for those resorts.

With AKL it’s definitely the stripped contracts they seem to like.

With AKL it’s definitely the stripped contracts they seem to like.

It does seem that way, seems illogical but maybe it is because most buyers pay the 2021 dues on full contracts as suggested. My son will be testing this theory as he is waiting to see if his full contract priced at $108/point gets through ROFR.

I think tomorrow is going to be the day to rain ROFR passes everyone! Putting that positive energy out there!!

Why doesn't Disney have to follow the same rules everyone else does when they purchase/sell resale points? They are able to sell them as new points without restrictions while they place restrictions on buyers of resale points from other entities. I already know the answer is "because they make the rules" but seems a tad sketchy to me.

The points they sell aren't actually resale. It's not like they buy a contract via ROFR and resell that exact contract. When they sell points there is no history to that contract even if it is from a contract that they bought via ROFR.

 

[eandt]

Yeah but they are resale points nonetheless however they twist the semantics. I thought I read somewhere on here that if I wanted to purchase a sold out resort, in order to obtain say 2020 points right now they would have to have purchased a rofr contract that had them available? Seems maybe that is not good info? Still seems to me that its rules for thee but not for me kind of thing.

That is correct in the sense that they need to have contracts or points with 2020 UY to sell to someone.

But, once they reaquire, what they buy goes back into the pool of points. So, if what they bought is void of 2020 points, then it doesn’t add any 2020 points back into the bucket,

But, the way it is set up is that points reacquired by DVD become developer owned points. Resale is more defined that someone is buying from a third party...a private owner..vs DVD directly. In that sense, you are eligible for membership perks.

Woohoo! It passed!!! Now more waiting for closing and Disney to set up the account with the new UY so that I can book those points before they expire 7/31.

That’s a awesome deal!! I’m sure you will be able to squeeze in a summer trip. I wish the one bedrooms or studios slept 5 there I would buy CCV too. I love the lodge so much!

I passed on 2/19 at $107 on 180 pt contract, stripped with no points until 2022. Feel like we dodged a bullet and I think it was the last one that passed before AKV became the HOT resort.
