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

[TTA Rider Matt]

I told myself no more points, but I had a moment of weakness. Here's the result:

Kenito---$127-$22940-175-BCV-Feb-0/19, 0/20, 199/21, 175/22 - sent 9/8

We bought 100 PVB points in January, I told my wife "This is good for now, 3-4 years from now, we'll buy another 25-30"...Fast forward 8 months, we're in ROFR for a 50 point BWV contract lol. I have now promised her this is it until 2042...but is it?

First time buying a resale, but not my first contract (bought direct last year). I found it difficult to figure out what to offer and accept for the OKW 2057- ... I saved close to 6K- not the enormous amounts that other resales save, but still. Last Friday we sent this into Disney :$110-$12590-109-OKW(E)-Dec-0/18, 0/19, 54/20, 109/21- sent 9/4....I don't think I will have problems with it being taken, but I also found the negotiations process clumsy on my end.

I think you'll be OK with this one. My friend just bought an OKW(E) a few months ago at $104 a point for 75 points. Granted, that passed while they weren't buying back, but I still think you'll be in pretty good shape with that contract.

I hate when you accidentally sneeze and buy a contract.

I agree. I'm going to hold in my sneezes now, even if that means blowing out my ear drums.

Haven't seen any ROFR messages lately Maybe they are holding up and will get everything back into the 30 day window this week!! *crosses fingers*

I said that a few years after we bought when we got to 300. Now I am at 775!

I never had a contract before. Bid on 3 AND will make a direct purchase.

Getting a bit restless in the waiting room here! Just curious, our group had several ROFR approvals on 9/3. Do you think we can expect to see another wave come through on 9/10? Curious if these are being batched or if it was just coincidence and our small sample size. TIA for thoughts!

I hope so. Tomorrow makes 6 weeks of waiting for me.

Now you're just bragging!!! Haha, I highly doubt my wife will allow any more purchases until our BWV expires in 2042. Then we will likely buy direct for whatever is new, with the plan of willing our contracts to our kids (we will be 58 in 2042) when we are done using them. We have a few years to figure that out though

Gack! That’s a long time! Fingers crossed!

Gack! That’s a long time! Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow will be 7 weeks for me.......... getting so impatient. I reached out to my broker last week to make sure nothing was wrong he said I will know as soon as he does. Any thoughts on if this is normal?

We put an offer in on another contract and I never got the first FROR done yet this addictive

Congrats! Im 7/24 that gives me hope I might hear this week or next.

My hubby and I will be 73 in 2042. We are MS Disney lovers and diving in. No worries about old age. I have been promised an electric wheelchair, a flashing red light, and a horn for my late Disney years. Gotta still do something!

WOW. When is your closing date? I have heard that a late closing may allow Disney to hold on for a while. But I honestly know nothing. Just repeating what I read. I have a Nov. 28 closing on my AKV. Sucks.... but the price was good for me.

Would you mind telling what resort you’re waiting on? I’m waiting on 100pts at SSR

Yikes!! That seems crazy long in light of some of the other approvals. Fingers crossed for you as well!

So what happens if the closing is AFTER the last day to bank points? Given the other responses I’m getting nervous! Assuming my passes

You might want to find out if the sellers will bank the points for you. Not sure if that will add time to the process, but it might be worth it if you're not going to be able to use the points otherwise.

Hopefully an expert will chime in.

In other news, still no news here. Ugg. I'm at 8 weeks out. I'm planning to send another message to the broker later today.

My closing date was two days ago... the broker said that they will just extend it until they hear back from Disney.

Sorry am having an issue finding my closing date swear it was on my contract but now I cant seem to find it anywhere it should be on there right?

I am waiting on 160 points at GFV
