ROFR Thread July to Sept 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

30 days today. I keep checking the sites, but I swear I’m going to wait until after my first trip to buy more.

Im still hoping I will be able to sleep somewhere in Feb 2021.

People will be cancelling trips through the winter. So rooms will keep coming up likely more so than normal. So I think you will be fine. You might not get your top choices though.

We are too. We passed last week and are hoping for a stay early Feb. Might do last week of Jan cause there seems to be more available currently. Gonna be at least another 30 days til we can book though (maybe more).

Based on previous comments, I was expecting to wait another week or so for news. I was delighted to see it come through on my last day of a WDW vacation!

This makes me excited! We sent ours on 6/26. Hoping we find out this week!

Once upon a time, ROFR was the longest part of the wait...

I passed ROFR in mid to late June after almost 50 days. I sent my docs and bank check back THREE weeks ago (after waiting about 3 weeks for Estoppel), only to hear that the buyer’s on vacation and hasn’t signed. Once they sign / close it’s another ~8 weeks....

Worst process ever... glad I bought a contract with no 2020 points.

oh wow!

At what point does the seller get their money?

Great question. When they sign and filed by OC comptroller, but my question is why the drama in all this??, it’s been 3+ weeks for a signature (and typically I have more free time on vacation).

It could be a cold feet situation I think..

I passed ROFR in FEB and sellers could not get a notary....still have not been able to. still waiting.

GET OUT, they still can't get a notary?? From FEBRUARY? Are they international sellers?

I’m coming up on a week after I signed the docs and wired my funds, and I’m still waiting for the seller to finish her end. I sure hope she isn’t having second thoughts!

NYC or Cali maybe? I had a terrible time in April getting a notary but we were on lock down.

At this points it's somewhat easy again.

Sounds like they are not asking around enough. I would hit up the various banks and has to be one that will let you do it.

We're not overly confident Disney will waive ROFR on this. It was advertised as $89 and we offered $84 and they accepted. We thought they would come back with a counter offer.
Does anyone know of anyone passing ROFR with this amount?
many thanks

We passed on $87 a couple of weeks ago. I think you'll be fine.

Disney hasn’t taken a contract back since March. The speculation is that they wouldn’t take one back at any price right now because of their cash flow crunch, but we won’t know for sure until they take one!

Hope I've done that right! First time poster, first time buyer, very nervously waiting, based in the UK. Hello!

 

[lea2124]

Fingers crossed but we won't be too sad if ours is the first they take back. We'll just try another contract.

 

[lea2124]

Hello fellow newbie. We are new to DVC and Disboards too. Fingers crossed for the both of us. too.

You have a 99.999999999% chance of passing ROFR. Only way you don't pass is if during the next 15 days a vaccine is approved, distributed, and travel to WDW increases 400%-500% or more.

Otherwise Disney is just weathering the storm right now planning on a great big beautiful tomorrow.

I’m in NY, there were still notaries at banks, there still are now. Crazy. But I’m mostly staying at home, not judging someone’s pandemic fear.
