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

[Paul Stupin]

I priced it out and aulani was still better value for us between the years, initial price and investment value not spent on initial purchase. I would imagine most of the time we won't want to book at Disney world more than 7 months out. A lot of the time we will get 2bdrms which are easier to get. Plus the bonus of using it once or twice at Aulani when we actually will book more than 7 months out. As well after having 4 contracts taken already I targetted Aulani because they rarely to never take those contracts.

Don’t blame you for targeting Aulani after having so many contracts taken, but you know going in if the price is unreasonably low your contract can be targeted. Also, DVC two bedrooms are harder than one bedrooms and potentially studios to get, and the 11 month advantage means more at WDW than Aulani. I tend to discount the contract price once paid (assuming sooner or later I’ll get the money back should I want to sell), but the dues will exist for the life of the contract, and Aulani’s are big. Noticeably big. Very few people buy Aulani for SAP points. But if the numbers work, great! Seems like you should hear any day now.

Do you all think $102 for SSR is a decent offer to not get snatched back? I’m so antsy and excited! We’re hoping to be able to take my parents to Disney for their first time with the kids in December

The only AKV I've seen taken was a sub 100 offer. It feels like they're not concerned with AKV. They are buying back quite a bit of SSR though, at least, that's what the ROFR data suggests.

Maybe if this SSR contract gets taken, we go for AKL instead. I'd rather own there anyway to be honest.

My $100 was taken, I was hoping that was their breaking point so now we did $103. Fingers crossed.

Thanks! We were actually looking for stripped since we live in Canada and aren't planning on travelling until 2022 at the earliest.

That is what I did for the first contract . No points until 2022, but great price.

Based on what has been happening, over $100 has a better chance it seems than under $100. However, there is not a set point that we can ever count on because every once and awhile they do something that simply doesn't make sense.

Good luck!

I think your theory that I have seen you post elsewhere that for the odd outlier ROFR purchases are because its for a specific declared unit and they are combining the points for a potential larger direct sale purchase.

That can be one reason but I have been told over the years that they decisions, needs, and reasons are always in flux and that they do not want to have a system in place that can be "figured out" because it is consistent all the time.

In addition to that, they may be taking them because they have a waitlist for people wanting to buy points. They could have decided that they want points right now to help replace the points they gave to people in 2020 to use for the banked 2018 points that expired during closure or shortly after opening.

Basically, we here can try to determine trends, but even recently they took back one from an international seller which we all had pretty much figured was a sure thing!

They probably took an international seller just because we were on to them.

If there was a real rhyme or reason to ROFR, somebody would have already snitched.

That's my plan of attack if my SSR gets snatched up, going with AKL. Shhhh don't tell anyone

Not unreasonably low. You only get a deal if you try for a deal. As for it being difficult to get a 7 month 2 BDRM, I just got a 2 BDRM boardwalk view reservation today after 7 months which just demonstrates exactly what I have been saying. I have a bit of expertise in the finance arena and I feel good about the numbers.

The broker I bought my VGF contract from previously had the listing as pending sale while I wait for ROFR and today they took down the listing so I was hoping to hear something but nothing yet

Plus, CMs that work for Disney are a loyal bunch. My DD was a CM who worked as a marketing intern for the famous pin codes and to this day, as I have mentioned, will not discuss how that happened and it’s been over 6 years!!!!!!!

We did it! We finally passed. The wait is over! Now we only have to wait some more.

Now I have to cancel the direct purchase we were going to do if we didn't pass...

We had that plan as well, but decided that in a few years we would appreciate the extra points, so we are keeping both.
