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

[ValW]

The smallest ROFR'd contract I can find posted here is 75 points. Was that you @lovethesun12?

We are in ROFR for SSR 50 points at $110. So far, we've never had a contract ROFR'd, but I'm feeling like this one might be taken...

Does anyone remember a smaller contract getting taken at ANY resort? Thanks in advance DVC friends!

I had two BLT 50-pt contracts taken in the last couple of months. I don’t know if I’ve seen any thing smaller than that taken.

Thanks for your post! I looked back as far as 4th quarter, but missed that. We had two 25 point $100 OKW pass last quarter which was surprising. I should be hearing in the next two weeks and will update my ROFR listing either way!

I saw the posting 12 MINUTES after it was posted on fidelity & called the broker immediately and said I wanted it. LOL.
Broker probably thought we were crazy....it was exact amount of points I wanted & our same use year...and for the subsidized dues....it was calling my name!
We had been checking all of the resale sites daily for a subsidized contract. We were between adding on at SSR or subsidized Aulani.

Glad I didn't wait for this one then. It's our use year and came with 2020 points but I wouldn't have bid that high early on which means you would have outbid me. Our contracts long-term probably will work out similar with you at $110 subsidized, with 20 points and me without 20 points and $70 a point but I am definitely very happy either way. Good luck. I would think at your price point that Disney won't take it so it's all good when it matches up with your use year. (Sorry if redundent and not coherent, 4 kids not shutting up for even 3 seconds for me to think)

Yes, I'm the one who made Disney ~$118pp and all they had to do was write their name in a blank space.

Now that I think about it, after saying the word blank space I realized Taylor Swift wrote her song from the point of view of Disney ROFR, not a break up.

"So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain...
....
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your our name..."

No Disney, the high was not worth the pain .

Have you heard anything yet? I also have a BCV contract in ROFR sent 1/31 and hoping for positive news soon!

Nothing yet. I hope next week is the week.

 

[vicarrieous]

Nothing yet. I hope next week is the week.

You and me both! I hope its passes for us both!

We saw all the BWV getting taken, so went for BCV - then found a small BWV along the way - not confidant on these two

Mrsp---$120-$6983-50-BWV-Sep-0/19, 50/20, 50/21, 50/22- sent 2/1


Mrsp---$130-$14394-100-BCV-Mar-0/20, 200/21, 100/22, 100/23- sent 2/8

Wow! I see you're not intimidated by the different UY as your SSR is also Aug. Are you thinking about using them all separately for different trips? I've been trying to convince myself that different UY doesn't have to be complicated since not seeing many listings for my current UY but I still like the idea it's all 1 membership to combine at 7 months.

For what it's worth, the only resort I would even consider getting outside my current use year would be Grand Californian, because those are too expensive to use anywhere but VGC.

I was looking at this contract as a back up if our BLT got ROFR again too, figuring they maybe wouldn’t want such a stripped contract. Best of luck this time

I couldn’t figure out how there were no points for 22’ due to the borrowing restrictions, but they must have transferred them somewhere instead.

They could have borrowed them before the restriction was put in place. That happened in late April and Feb UY would have been able to book trips Using those before it happened.

I hear you. That is in fact what I ended up doing, as I found my unicorn VGC... except in Oct UY instead of Sep UY.

We would have preferred all aug use year - we went for the recent 175 SSR aug to match our existing 250 AKV aug for our main stays - our plan is to only use the BCV/BWV points at the home results on alternate years for short stays. We need 2 bedrooms villas, so one year at BCV, then bank for the next year at BWV.
The 50pt at BWV was a bit of an impulse buy!

Seller paying 2021 and 2022 dues.

I think this is number 4 or 5 over the last 1.5 months....i've lost count!

You wearing that fake mustache and glasses like I suggested? Good luck

It’s pretty rare for Disney to take sub-100 contracts, I think both of these will be fine

I think you have the right mindset, My BWV villas contract got taken at $118 a point for 100 points as did someone else’s at the same time last week! I would assume there’s a decent chance of the BWV ones being taken given that I’ve seen them buying back so many BWV contracts as of lately! But maybe Bc it’s so small you’ll be fine I just would assume there’s a decent chance they’re going to take it.

 

[Mrs p]

I think we prepared for them to get taken, thought I was cool about the whole thing but now stressing it would be a pain to start again - although looking is fun!

Right! I mean if you get it it’s a great deal tho! I think you’re totally safe w your beach club one tho!!! I wouldn’t worry that much about that one! There’s a lot of BC contracts sitting on the websites at the moment. So I would think that would be fine!

 

[Mrs p]

Seems like a lot of beach clubs at about 150; our princess ( 19 years old) wants stormalong bay so

 

[EM Lawrence]

I think BCV prices are going down. I’ve seen several in the 130’s or low 140’s lately. I can’t tell you where exactly, because I look around so much just for fun that I can’t keep things straight! Disney seems to be more interested in BWV than BCV for ROFR lately, too. If you are interested in BCV, don’t be afraid to negotiate.

I have a BCV contract in ROFR right now for $127/pp. I am hoping to hear in the next week or so if it passes. It was sent on 2/3.

 

[Rustygirl84]

Just received email stating my contract that I am selling passed ROFR. It was sent on 1/26. AKV sold for $118/pp.
