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

buy extended.

I assume @sgricewich has done their due diligence and knows they don't want OKW2057.

Sometimes it's a good thing that a contract ends sooner. After 2042 you wipe your hands clean of timeshares.

So how many contracts do you lose to ROFR before you stop trying and think maybe it wasn’t meant to be? Lol. Just had our third OKW taken yesterday.

I had 4 taken before I switched tactics and bought AUL because Disney doesn't buy them back

**Update***

brazzledazzler---$190-$10418-50-PVB-Dec-0/19, 0/20, 11/21, 50/22- sent 7/6, passed 8/9

Apologies for the delay, it’s my parents’ contract and they were busy traveling during this summer before I heard about their ROFR. They don’t close until January, so they weren’t in a rush to update me.

Updated!

I will try to update next weekend, but we are heading down for the 50th so it might be a little while after the weekend. New quarter = new thread coming soon too!

@rubybutt was your seller drunk? Wow!

They took back 2 extended ones recently

We thought about trying a different resort. But we’ve stayed at OKW several times and love it and want it to be “home,” you know?

Two quick questions that I don't think need their own thread.

1. I'm buying a contract with zero 2021 points available. My understanding is that I won't owe any dues at the time of closing, either to the seller or to Disney, and that I'll pay Disney my 2022 dues in January, correct?

2. This is my second resale contract. New resort and new use year. Will the points show up in my online account any faster than they did with my first contract, or does it still have to go through the same processing time?

1. While everything is TECHNICALLY up for negotiation, your assumption is correct. The standard is you pay for the current year points that you receive. If you receive no 21 points, you typically don't pay 21 dues. I would confirm though when you make an offer.

2. Can't speak to this from experience BUT a new UY is technically a NEW membership so I would imagine this would lead to some delay vs. the same UY

1. You shouldn't, but double check your purchase contract and the listing.

2. Same processing time... if not a tad bit longer as PP said.

I'm clear on the contract terms and I definitely don't owe anything to the seller. I was more confirming that Disney isn't going to be looking for me to prepay 2022 or anything like that.

My understanding was that a lot of the delay was setting up the email address and password under dvcmember.com. I understand that they're legally different memberships, but all under one login, correct?

There is a point in December that 2022 dues have to be paid at closing. I am not sure what that date is but I think Dec 15th?

So as long as you close prior to that, you will be billed as normal.

And none of my resale have ever taken less time as an owner. Same as the rest of them.

Correct. I have 3 UY - 3 different membership #'s - 1 login/password

Getting the new membership # didn't take any longer than adding another contract under an existing membership.

3 UY! Wow brave! Way to much headache for me, I don't think I could do 3.

I was originally going to add on my same UY but made a decision to buy an alternate UY. Already have a December and I am about to go under contract for a June. I figure 2 allows me to coordinate UY to travel. I have also heard about an extended banking window loophole for transferred points (to the end of the actual UY vs 8 months). Has anyone done this and can confirm if it is true?

It’s soooo quiet in here. And of course I’m at the point where I’m checking the thread multiple times a day because I’m on day 28 mark now. It really doesn’t get easier even though it’s my 3rd resale and I should know what to expect

I was thinking the same! I’m on day 25, so I have no business being on here as much as I am

Day 28 for me as well. I got an email from our broker this morning, and I got excited. But, it was just a “hang in there” email. Oh well…

Got the same “hang in there” message too but via text. I opted for text because I get daily emails about listings so I didn’t want to miss any updates. I have a feeling this is our week though!

 

[jbreen2010]

Got some exciting news today - we passed!
I'm very impressed with this turn around time from DVC...but I guess they were likely not buying back VGF with a soon launch of additional direct sales.

Here's the updated string for the pass:


jbreen2010---$185-$29538-150-VGF-Feb-0/20, 144/21, 300/22, 150/23- sent 8/23, passed 9/20

 

[Sunnyore]

AAAND just like magic, I got my email that they waived my contract. Woohoo! Posting about it here really does speed things up

Sunnyore---$180-$9820-50-BLT-Aug-0/20, 50/21, 50/22- sent 8/23, passed 9/20

And now I’m off to Disneyland for the day!

*Edited to correct total cost since I received my documents from Cammy already. $20 cheaper woohoo
