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

I wired the $$ for my contract today and am just waiting for the sellers to sign the closing docs! How long until I get my membership #, points, and access to the website???

I closed on 8/18 and am still waiting. Based on info provided in the closing threads I think it’s taking 3-4 weeks on average, after closing, to get membership email and then points come after that.

You have to close first. That can’t happen until the sellers return their documents which can take anywhere from the next day until however long it takes them to get them done.

I waited a month. Most try to get it done as soon as possible. But, I would assume at this point 6 to 8 weeks.

Thank you! I guess I still have to be patient

4 contracts and 720 points in less than one year. I think I’m done… maybe?

Great deal! Now if only I can find an international seller…

ROFR Day 65 (or 32): Is that right? I am unsure anymore. I had to go back and check. Still nothing, no updates, no checking to see how I am doing. Not a peep. We now enter into the small group of people who face weekend number 10 with no idea how much longer they have to wait. It’s a 3 day weekend, I am pretty sure we’re going to see a day 70 post.

I had a resale contract several months ago that had a long (5 month) delayed closing due to a pending reservation. Signed the contract May 13, but couldn’t close until after October 11th. Once submitted, it cleared ROFR in 22 days (submitted 5/17, cleared 6/8) and estoppel was issued 6 days after that (6/14). Then, it just sat at the title company waiting for October.

I got tired of waiting and backed out, but everything at Disney’s end went pretty normally.

I’m still waiting on a delayed contract where the offer was accepted mid Feb! For whatever reason, ROFR took until the end of March, when it then went into deep freeze while I wait for the owner to complete a trip in October! It truly feels like it’s taken forever, but at least the wait is almost over.

May I ask what it was about that contract that made you ok with waiting 8 months for it?

Good question! It had no 2021 points so there wasn’t a mad rush. Also, and this was the main reason, the price was just too good to pass up. And it looks even better now considering what’s happened to the resale market since then.

That was part of my reasoning also. I wasn’t planning to use points until 2022 anyway so I wasn’t in a hurry to get them all loaded. That also gave me a great price per point.

Sounds like it was a smart move!

Same here… but I caved.

Awesome contract! Hopefully Disney lets you keep it since it's an international seller =)

Great contract.... I hope it goes through for you.

Judging by the other SSR I’ve seen on here, I have a feeling it’ll be taken rather quickly.

Thanks! I have a feeling it’ll be taken away, but fingers crossed!

It'll be interesting to see if an international seller gets it through. Hope so for you.

But it's loaded, so that works back in Disney's favor. I'm surprised the seller didn't use those 2021 points that are just a month old (or rent them as they are international owners). I'm really curious why they are fire saling a contract at what is just under 20% below the trending price per point. They could have rented the 2021 points and still turned around and listed the contract at the $139-$140 price point SSR seems to be trending towards.

I ended up cancelling through the 10 day recision clause. The seller had not mailed the contract back as of this morning. Thanks for the warning. Helped me make the decision .

Good decision. I doubt that broker informed you that your accepted offer of 117pp probably wouldn't pass ROFR since Saratoga Springs resale prices have increased significantly this year. Fidelity doesn't seem to care about wasting people's time.

My deed was recorded on 8/11, still waiting for the contract to show. I called MS and was told 4-6 weeks. She said that department was furloughed and I just have to be patient.
