My husband surprised me with our AKV contract (that we are still waiting to close on) for our 25th anniversary. He created an interactive storyboard in a box kind of thing. It had a Beauty and the Beast theme, so as I was working my way through, my first thought was that he was going to hire a contractor to build out our bonus room into a dream library (I'm like Belle in that respect). I was already super happy with that idea. It wasn't until I got to the end of the process and found a "key to the kingdom" with a DVC member tag attached that I figured out what was actually happening. I started sobbing (happy tears because I've wanted to buy into DVC for the past several years, not sad ones at the prospect of no library). He did a brilliant job with the whole presentation. Now if only we could hurry up and receive those closing docs . . .

I'm sure your wife will be surprised and delighted with your gift, in whatever way you present it. Happy Valentine's to both of you. Please let us know how it goes once you surprise her.
A storyboard sounds like something artistic. If I tried to do that my wife would never be able to figure it out because it would look like I had done a shoe box filled with garbage and gave it to her(I am picturing a storyboard like a doll house with a scene that shows Hawaii)

CmdrThor---$100-$22670-211-SSR-Feb-0/20, 370/21, 211/22-buyer pays 1/2 MF'21- sent 1/20, passed 2/12

Hurray! Can’t wait to get our points so I can shuffle some 2021 points around and book our Christmas trip with our niece and nephew.
Wow shocked that one passed. Awesome for you.
 
Busymommaof3---$118-$13276-100-BWV-Oct-0/19, 100/20, 100/21, 100/22- sent 1/26 2/2 Edited since Fidelity just now sent the contract to ROFR after phone call and email follow-up :sad2:

My first resale for the Polynesian went way smoother and with excellent communication; this one, not so much. Contracts were signed 18 Jan and when I reached out on 25 Jan to broker on status (after noticing my CC had not processed the escrow), they had not sent and said they still needed something from the seller and buyer. I am still not sure all was sent as of today, but the CC was charged on 26 Jan, so I went with that date.
Taken today, 12 Feb 😿
 

Taken today, 12 Feb 😿
So sorry to hear mine was taken too with the same $118 at 100 points with February use year if it makes you feel better!
I think Disney is really trying to buy back boardwalk contracts for the time being!
I actually already resubmitted another contract today to Disney for ROFR at Saratoga springs this time hoping for better luck!
 
Congrats!

Dang, I just don't get it. Our $103/250 was just taken.

I’m picturing the ROFR office and all the contracts spread all over the floor in different piles by resort and the employees using those giant stretchy sticky hands that my kids play with and they fling them at the papers and what ever one it sticks to gets bought back 😂

Question about using multiple brokers/title companies with all of these contracts being taken.

When our offer was accepted and sent to title, I believe our credit report was pulled. I'm hesitant to make an offer with a different broker/title company because I don't want my credit to be pulled a bunch of times.

Is this avoidable?

Paying cash if that matters

They're in the office flipping coins

Haha! Yes, seriously! It honestly seems to be luck of the draw. I guess if I keep trying, one is bound to pass.

Why/how are they pulling credit if you are not financing? Did you provide that information? SSN bdays etc? We have not provided any of that.
 
Thanks. Yes I am very happy. Now just trying to figure out how I am going to tell her; in a card, with a YouTube video, some other way??? $11,500 purchase price and closing costs all in for 41 years of 150 points..... Very happy.

I suggest you tell her along with plans for a trip to Aulani as soon as all of this craziness is over. I know you bought them for sleep around points, but it would be a lovely way to christen the new points. We LOVE going to Aulani (granted, we are in Vancouver, so a bit easier). The whole Ko Olina area is simply lovely. We can easily spend a week there 3 or 4 times a year without leaving the resort area...morning walk, pool, beach, Monkeypod happy hour, walking the beach path for sunset, repeat (but sub in Mina’s, Longhi’s or Roy’s so things don’t get TOO repetitive). It’s so lovely and relaxing.
 
I don't see many BRV contracts being bid on. That seems odd, I love that resort.

Not sure I'm allowed to ask an opinion here, but does anyone think $103/270 might pass?

Based on how much people have listed them for in that point range that seems like a strong offer......that 2042 expiration scares me though. It's my preference obviously but I'd rather see a 5 or a 6 as that third digit.

Wife wants wdw more until 25 anniversary. Will get Hawaii then. She has fallen in love with AKL so I will say I will get that for her in September(not knowing if we can actually get across the border then). Have you gone all inclusive in Mexico?? I honestly don't understand why anyone would want Hawaii over an a nice all inclusive in Mexico or the rest of the Caribbean??

That's the only thing stopping me. I actually really do love that resort but in 2042, I'll only be 62. Definitely NOT done traveling at that time.

Edit: I read you said box so I am guessing that it is like I described
:rotfl2:Yes, my husband and daughter are both very artistic. Me, not so much, so I fully understand what you mean! : )

I suppose it wasn’t meant to be and there is a better fit to come along 🌟 I plan to search AKV
Good luck with Saratoga!

I saw yours and the sellers were paying all closing costs. That’s worth about $2.60ish per point for a 250 point contract. Then assuming the seller was paying 2021 maintenance fees as well that’s another $7.11. So about $93.30 or so counting that. We paid our closing costs and 1/2 ‘21 maintenance fees so $3.55 a point. So our offer was basically like $96.45. We did get some banked points as well but from what I’ve seen the sellers typically aren’t compensated much for banked points on a contract.
 
Posting as the seller, waited a bit to give the Buyer a chance to post should they happen to be active DIS board members

AaronEuth---$157-$19505-120-BLT-Aug-0/19, 46/20, 1/21, 120/22-Seller Pays MF 2021- sent 2/4

The free 2020 points are banked into 2021; due to some point mismanagement caused by impatience on my part. Wife and I loved our last OKW stay so much, we decided to part with this contract to addon to our other OKW contract.
