Yay for passing ROFR on my dream contract but yikes… does the sting of paying this much per point ever go away?

Congrats

ROFR Day 58 (or 25): More nothing. They still have my money though. Maybe that’s the game? How long can we keep her money without any form of reward? How long can we keep the carrot dangling? Maybe it’s just going to be another very long weekend? The 9th weekend with no answer. This is the longest game of chicken I have ever played.

We had the same thing (not 2 weeks though!), I messaged the broker. The seller is out of town, and claim they will send the out as soon as they return. It's only been a week from when my docs were delivered but I have 150 expiring points to use by Jan 31. The waiting is killing me!

I emailed the broker at this beginning of this week and all he said was that they hadn’t received them. im like terrified to email again and to even see if they’ve been in touch. My husband keeps asking me if they are allowed to back out and I truly have no idea.

I'm sure they are just dragging their feet. I would reach out to the broker again, you have every right to know what is happening. The more you pester them, they can pester the seller.
Keep us posted hopefully you hear soon!

Thanks! We used DVC Sales (Lori and Mark Webb)

I’ve bought through them as well and they’re great.

Wait until you make your first booking and then you may feel better about it!

The sting significantly faded for us the first time we used the direct entrance to come home to our villa after a long stint in DCA with our 3 young kids. Magic!

Having a cocktail poolside on those ridiculously cozy loungers, listening to the instrumental Disney and oldies music they play, while the kiddos go down the slide on repeat doesn't hurt either

Not to mention when you see prices in 6 months or a year at $350/point instead of $295!

Welcome home!

Thank you! I am very much looking forward to that entrance! I'm sure you're right, the sting will fade after all that (especially that entrance with our little kids) and I'll be glad I bought at $285 when I see prices in the future.

Looks like we will have the same home resorts.. we own at Aulani, just closed on SSR and soon to be closing on this VGC. West coaster? Are you planning to buy at DL tower? I promised my husband I wouldn't mention DL tower if we bought VGC but even he knows that's a lie.

Bahaha, I hear that! On the fence about the new DL tower. It's studio heavy, and we will be a 1-bedroom and up family soon as our youngest turns 3 in Feb. In the short run I'm not sure there is much at the DL tower to convince us to buy those points direct. But on the other hand....shiny new things! Depends on member pricing incentives when it's first released.

We‘re in Los Angeles, and own at Aulani, CCV, and VGF. We also love VGC, but just pick up the occasional night or two when availability pops up. We’re going next Saturday night, and hoped to pick up Sunday night off the wait list, but it looks like that’s not happening. So that’s my long winded way of saying you guys made a great purchase! It’s a stunning resort and with the 11 month window you’ll never have availability issues. And that $285 price is a little bit on the lower end of VGC resale prices, right? So congrats!

Thank you! I know I'll be over the moon once I'm there and enjoying everything the resort has to offer ☺ $285 with 2020 points (banked into 21) and 2021 points (banked into 22) with seller paying dues on both 20&21 years so overall I'm happy enough with the deal

We’re in the same position you’re in. SoCal residents, and we own at CCV and PVB (and soon to be BCV if it passes), and we pick up the occasional night at VGC when it opens up. We were there a few weeks ago.

@Cleeevus - you’ll forget how much you paid as time goes on (the price was good, by the way, given the current trends). But, every time you check in, you’ll appreciate that you bought at one of the most beautiful Disney resorts!

Welcome home!

You ain’t lying. Bought ours in March for $220. At this pace, $350 is very possible. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when my points loaded and booked our stay for the first time. While expensive, I think $300 pp is still worth it.

Disney has not exercised ROFR for BCV in over a year so you should be good!

dang it.. should have known there are other locals picking up random GCV nights here and there. Now that I have the Key with included parking I’m hoping I won’t feel the need to stay overnight anymore. But it’s so nice to stay on property. It makes it feel like a mini vacation. Otherwise WDW always feels like a true vacation than going to dland.
