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

Seems like all no passes happen on Friday's.

Congrats to everyone!

I actually got my pass on a Friday, or at least it was a Friday my broker notified me. Then got estoppel that following Monday so looking back didn't realize how good I had it with that turnaround. This was a few months back though and I did have to wait 38 days I think it was for ROFR which was pretty brutal.

Wow , this is good news ! Under 100$ !

I called my broker yesterday and she said she got like 40 dropped on her from the DVC ROFR office Friday. She said they waived my SSR $100/pp but give her a couple of days to process the closing paperwork, just waiting on that before I celebrate it's official. My luck isn't good enough to celebrate before I sign documents haha.

I was waiting to pass to add it, I didn't jump onto the board until I was already a few weeks into waiting it and didn't want to screw it up.

Congrats to quite a few of you on passing ROFR. Good to hear that the ROFR department is alive and weren't put in some kind of Disney prison.

Sorry. We are in Texas without power and I’m having issues with my service. Looks like I posted the same comment more than once but it won’t let me delete (only edit to type this message instead). Sorry if more show up! My phone is apparently sending the same text message over and over to people as well.

Congrats! I had one taken last month at $137 without any banked points! I think you definitely got a great deal!

Hi! I'm one of the suckers you speak of. Also bought BLT direct too. I shall contemplate the amount of money I wasted as I sip on a soda in the Epcot owner's lounge in 2 week.

In seriousness though, I'm a new owner and my first contract was a resale. It didn't sit well with me that I couldn't book at Riviera or possibly any future DVCs being built. I regret not buying 10 years ago, or even 2-3 years ago as the price just keeping hiking up. I'm buying for long term with no plans to sell (of course things change) and so I decided I wanted some non restricted points. Bit the bullet and so far no regrets. It was helpful that I got to buy a DVC gold pass so I'm getting some of the benefits of the blue card. Now I'm back to looking to add on resale for the money saving aspect. I will add getting outbid by others for the rare use year contract isn't very fun for me. But now I have enough points to use so there's no urgency which helps.

Man you people are throwing me for a loop today! At one point late 2019/early 2020 I was set on direct then the flu hit so didn't buy. A month or so ago we decided to pursue ownership again but then found out the minimum buy in increased to 125 (not to mention the $ increase in prices) so started making offers on resale but as you stated getting outbid or the availabll contracts aren't exactly what we want kind of sucks. After reading some of these posts We may be back on direct route again!

I will say that while we are hopeful our OKW resale contract will still pass, we are extremely happy we decided to buy direct at SSR as well. The entire process took 2+ days. We asked our DVC contact to call us on Monday morning. An hour or later we had the documents to sign and as soon as we were done signing we were able to book our first stay. I called them yesterday and arranged full payment. Today we received the final document all signed.

We opted for a direct purchase because we wanted to be able to book Riviera in the future and the Boardwalk area (if they choose to reclassify it).

We are are also looking forward to visiting the Epcot lounge in a couple of weeks

If our resale gets grabbed at ROFR we will likely go back to direct and buy some more points for SSR and call it a day. It won't be as many as we could get from the resale, but it will be enough to cover our trips each year.

Anyone in Texas right now definitely deserves a pass! We are in TN but have 2 kids and their families in TX and they are having a very difficult time. Praying things get better real quick for all you Texans (as well as everyone else who is affected by these storms).
