ROFR Thread July to Sept 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I caved and asked my broker. She said Disney stopped resale 7/7 thru 7/21. Additionally she mentioned it has been taking 6-8 weeks prior to the shut down. So we could be looking at 8-10 weeks.
we have been waiting since 6/30

Can you explain further on this? I mean like what does it mean that they stopped resale?

MA was shut down to move offices and other things so many of there normal operations were on hold. Brokers could not send any documents for closed contracts either.

My broker had to hold of my closings due to it.

ugh! Now I'm nervous about my $135 AKV.

I have a 135 AKV too. It’s loaded as well with double points. So now I’m all sorts of nervous. I need some good vibes our way….or dare I say, magic vibes

they just do this to make resale less attractive. not rocket science.

Passed today! 8/9/21 also made a correction above- 2021 has banked points from 20 which is slightly different than my OG post.

Congrats!!

ROFR Day 40: The silence is deafening. Have I gone to far? Checking in once a week and waiting impatiently. Should I be expecting a no contact order rather than an answer? Is there a chance that they forgot or lost my ROFR? Or is this something else? Something much more sinister? A plot to drive away the weak of mind and heart? A test of will and determination? Or the longest game of chicken I have ever played?

I know the wait is so very hard. I'm not even going to pretend with an uplifting supportive statement. However, the last few posts like this are hilarious. Without your wait, we would have never been treated to them. So at least you have that going for you.

My goal is to entertain all of you with my misery

They weren’t doing transfer of ownership during 7/8-7/21 but they were still doing ROFR according to my broker. Someone here had one taken that was sent 7/15.

They don’t promote resale and don’t care if you wait forever!

We’re buying almost the same product they’re selling for less money. But there is a hidden cost in our time and patience. That’s an extra charge from Disney.

Boomatt---$140-$16177-105-AKV-Mar-0/20, 210/21, 105/22, 105/23- sent 8/9 First contract was resale at SSR, second was 25 points at poly direct. Got the poly the day before the blue card eligibility point increase and a huge price increase. The ease of getting points direct through Disney was super attractive and I almost caved but I found a nearly perfect contract for my family’s needs. Let me tell you, having a March use year is a struggle when you are searching for add-one!!! So few of them so I REALLLLLYYYY hope this goes through. Wish me luck!!!

We were told they were still processing stuff through the shutdown but not accepting anything new from brokers so they could catch up on the backlog. What I don't get is that this would just create a new backlog since they would have a new pile waiting for them on 7/22. I was hoping maybe they would also use the down time to train another person so they could get through things quicker.

I have been stalking this thread for a while, and currently have 2 contracts in rofr.....Is it just me, or does it seem strange the lack of decisions being reported (regardless of passed/taken) since the shutdown? It's almost like Disney is holding everything, and then updating just a few at a time. Maybe people just are not reporting their results...

Nah, this was pretty typical even pre-shutdown. They're just taking longer to decide than they had been. I was lucky last fall, they were lightening fast in making decisions last November. They ROFRed my SSR contract in about a week and then took like 8-9 days to pass my AKV contract that we bid on immediately afterwards.

Before COVID, it wasn't unusual for DIsney to take 30 days to make a decision.. so this is all par for the course. Oh, and they don't go "in order." We can't determine a rhyme or reason, but some are decided faster than others. (it does seem like the ones that are taken are decided on more quickly, but that's not a hard and fast rule either).

Then we're all in the same boat with those 135 AKV loaded contracts! I've only been waiting a week, so I have a long way to go. Hoping I see some of you pass while I'm waiting.

I think you're pretty safe at $140! Of course I have to say that because I'm waiting on AKV points at $135/point.
