Feels pretty good knowing I'm a DVC member now... I've been thinking about buying in for over a decade, but just wasn't in the cards back then.

Congratulations!

So sorry this was taken! I wish there was a good formula to understand what Disney is buying back...your offer was not super low and I’ve seen a few $95’s pass in the last few weeks! Good luck on any more offers!!

Does anyone know if Disney ROFR department works on the weekends? Just curious. And getting antsy I submitted on 8/11!

So good to see so many passed ROFR!!

I asked this questions last week and no one replied, so I figure I'll ask one more time. Anyone know whether it matters if your contract has points available for current/next year when Disney considers taking them? My contract has zero points until 2022, but it just under the $100pp that Disney has been taking lately for SSR. Thoughts? Think mine will sneak through since there will be zero points to use until Feb 2022?

Hi JillianLeigh, that’s a great question and the only answer is that nobody has any idea. One would speculate that if there were no points available until 2022 that the contract would not be of interest to Disney, but nobody knows that for sure. There have been a lot of SSR contracts bought back by Disney, but plenty for under $90 a point and some in the $92-$95 range that I’ve been seeing. I would hope for you at $99 and no points until 2022 that you have some good chances of passing but no idea. I am waiting on an 8/11 submission at $98 per point so fingers crossed. I do think Disney probably has some sort of total weighting system that they consider - how many points they need right now for resale, how many they speculate they will need and then the total price they would have to pay to buy the points ( closing cost, price per point, etc.) I am also thinking it would depend on other contracts available...if yours is the highest price they get through their desk that week they might buy back the handful of others at a lower price. Good luck!!

I wish but my guess is not. I am waiting on an 8/11 submission as well and was seeing some 8/7 and 8/8’s get answers. I hope next week will be our week. Back in August I had a contract taken by ROFR and it took 36 days to hear back that it was taken. I think we’re on day 31 or 32 now, so fingers crossed some news this week!

It is a mystery to be honest as to how they evaluate. There is nothing set that happens other than if you are higher than ones that pass you have a better chance than if you are lower,

So, for SSR, over $100 has a much better chance then under. If seller is paying closing or MFs, then that adds to the appeal for Disney. It does not seem lately that stripped vs loaded is a sure thing.

ETA. The ROFR department does not work weekends.

Could you please reformat that with the link in post#1 so it can go on the list?

Ooops, even though I promised not to look at the listings anymore since I just had one accepted on Thursday, I put in an offer and it was accepted. I didn't think it would be because I put seller pays both 2020 MF and closing, and it's a loaded contract. So I'm accidentally buying another contract if they both pass ROFR lol. I think I had the hiccups or got trigger happy or something...

I have hope that even though seller paying MF and closing adds to the appeal for Disney to take it, the price pp is still higher than 100 so maybe this one will work!

Hey, it happens! That is a great buy if it doesn't get taken. Fingers crossed for you!

I discussed this on another thread, I believe the more points matter others think a simple $12,470 divided by 120 is over $100 and true PPP that matters, The thought was under $95 gets taken

Updated!

It feels like one of the busiest quarters in recent memory in terms of buying activity on this thread, even though the prices didn't bottom out like some predicted (and hoped). Also, I HATE having to post stuff in the Taken section again- I was so enjoying not having to put anything in that terrible place

I'm really bummed every time I see a taken post here. I was fortunate enough to pass, but the thought of not passing after waiting 6 weeks was frustrating enough. I feel for you... but hang in there and look for another deal!....

However... that said, if I was looking for SSR, OKW, or AKl... I (IMHO) would wait another couple weeks before submitting another contract to ROFR... I think Disney just needs the points right now for the Incentives/promotions, and you'd just be making their job easier. I would guess that after the incentives expire they're not going to need to take that many contracts.

Why wait the extra weeks though, when you can just submit another one in that time span you would have been waiting anyways? I say just keep rolling the dice and see if you can get a decent deal to slip past the chimp.

This is my guess also, the incentives expire soon and maybe they won't be taking so many contracts. Also, I've found it difficult to find SSR Oct UY so I've put offers on the two I could find that fit the other criteria

Yeah sometimes I wonder if we overthink how Disney exercises ROFR.

Could be as simple as just shopping for what they want/need. If I want steak, I'll buy it at the lowest price I can find. If there's a great sale, I'll buy some extra for the freezer. If they go on sale again next week, I've already stocked up.

Maybe Disney just purchases points when they want/need them in their inventory. If a great deal comes along, maybe they'll take that regardless.

If 20 amazing deals come along after they just purchased 20, maybe they decide they have "stocked up" enough.
