[JC1984]

We will be there January 26, likely not before. We will be there for our 25th anniversary.

Planning 11th to the 18th. We'll leave you note in a bottle at the pool

It took me 5 contracts to get one through and while it wasn't the original resort I was targeting I am actually happier with the one we got through. If you want it, don't get invested emotionally if you can. Its why I had to cut my wife out of the process, she got too excited and then hugely let down after the evil ROFR monster kept eating all our hard work. So I just told her we weren't buying anymore and then I did everything on my own till I got the right one for us.

I’ve seen your contracts and you eventually did get a great deal! I guess the lesson is to just keep trying!
I’m just like your wife! Unfortunately, my husband isn’t really a Disney fan though so not sure he would want to hassle with it.

Sorry to hear. Keep trying. For me I love trying to get the contracts. I had some disappointment but mostly I was excited that I could keep negotiating for more contracts. I need a job where I just negotiate contracts because I find it fun. I love numbers and deals.

Got closing documents today. ROFR passed 2/11. 13 days

Thanks for posting this! We passed ROFR on 2/9 and still waiting on closing docs. Haven't seen many people on the Closing Time thread posting that their closing docs have been received and it's making me nervous!

@Rustygirl84 Have you heard anything about your BCV contract you sent in January? I feel like BCV rofr's have been dragging!

My last BCV contract took a little over 30 days to pass. That was end of Sept and passed early November. We will get there, fingers crossed we both find out this week

With all the 2/2's passing today, I checked my in box multiple times, as well as the junk/spam box, but still waiting for our 2/2 submitted BLT.

I’m so excited!! My offer was just accepted tonight on 100 points at CCV! First resale contract. (We own 150 direct). Thanks to following this group I stood firm on my offer of $140. They tried to counter offer twice but I held my ground and they accepted. If it wasn’t for this group I would have probably paid close to asking. Thank you so much. I will come back and post my numbers soon!!

Good luck! You are so close. I’m jealous!!! I’m just at the starting gate. Sigh. But very hopeful.

Trying not to feel defeated today. This is my second contract taken in the last month and would’ve been my first DVC contract. Mine have been the first bought back at PVB (others were taken after) and VGF in a while according to all of the information I could find so it’s been pretty unexpected both times. I even talked to my agent before submitting the VGF asking if he thought I should offer more since my last one was taken and he said he felt it was a strong offer and he wasn’t too concerned about it being taken. It took 8 days for PVB, so I was really expecting a pass with the VGF since it took 20 days to get the news. And, while the points on the contract were significantly higher than mine, a VGF passed last week at the same price per point.
Now, trying to decide if I want to start this process over, wait for a while, or just forget it all together. With so much up in the air at Disney World right now, maybe it’s a sign?! I don’t know!

Thoughts?

Very surprising to see a buy back for VGF at 160. I’m pretty sure the previous highest price was $156. But I agree with everyone who’s already weighed in that you cannot give up! Sooner or later you’re almost assured that the right contract for you will pop up again.

I just saw a 220 point VGF Oct. UY asking $170 on one of the usual sites. So there are some opportunities out there.

offer $159 and when it passes it was worth a buck

Unfortunately, there aren’t any points until ‘22. I’m not planning to go this year, but concerned I will want to travel before Oct ‘22 and would need more than the current borrowing allowance of 110. But, you’re right, they are out there. I just need to keep looking and trying. Thanks for the encouragement and the tip on the VGF contract!

I feel your pain! VGF seem so rare , we are trying to match our UY and those seem even more rare. I'm trying not to overpay but feel the pressure of jumping when they do become available. One popped up today for a stripped 100pt contract but they are asking $183. Did the direct price increase cause the resale prices to increase.
