ROFR Thread July to Sept 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

They do not really care about customer satisfaction on resale..... there is no additional money to be made for them..... The customer satisfaction comes with direct. LOL

I don't know if this has been addressed, forgive me if it has, but I thought Disney only had 30 days to match. Why, at day 31, does the sale not go straight through

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

No. They have until the closing date. 30 days is the minimum time period you have to provide Disney.

I'm not sure who I can and can't name as far as brokers go, but I will say the broker you use makes all the difference in the world. I would pay more for a contract through my most recent company rather than go through a couple others I tried with in the past year.

I've gone through resale 3 different times, with a different broker each time. Haven't had any problems with any of the brokers (can't say the same about the closing/title companies however). I'll still hunt for the ideal contract/price, regardless of who has the listing.

To add to what has been posted…that you must give Disney at least 30 days to decide on RoFR, and then must issue estoppel, no title company will proceed without both of those documents.

They have currently been sending both ROFR and estoppel at the same time, but at one time, they were don’t as two transactions.

My 50 pt OKW contract was sent to ROFR 7/14/22 and received response from Disney today 8/29/22. Perhaps others have seen this type of delay but i have not and it is eye opening.

My 100 pt AKV contract was sent to ROFR 7/14/22 and received response from Disney today 8/29/22. Perhaps others have seen this type of delay but i have not and it is eye opening.

Did they take it back?

 

[Jaydee51]

Edit: ROFR (passed) & Estoppel issued same day (8/29) for my small OKW contract

 

[Paul Stupin]

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

No, they don't. But we all know the pros and cons of buying resale.

 

[Jaydee51]

Did they take it back?

no, this one passed. it is a 50pt OKW contract, not AKV. Sorry for confusion.
AKV contract was taken last week. AKV was sent to ROFR 7/15 & Taken 8/25/22

Someone else posted this morning that had a similar timeline on their OKW contract.

wings91---$160-$34000-200-BLT-Feb-0/21, 200/22, 200/23- sent 7/26 TAKEN 8/29

 

[OlieRow]

And yet there were contracts last week passing in 16-20 days…

Day 20 today and still feeling pretty patient despite the excitement!

 

[Sunnyore]

I’m still waiting on a 7/12 submission for 25 measly points. ROFR lady is cruel. Just take it already so I can move on. UGH.

 

[keirabella2012]

Let's hope!! Good luck!

Have you heard back about your contract yet?

 

[HappyThoughtsTees]

Yep agree. I'd only buy direct if you were in a weird spot and an extra 25/50 points would help a lot. Those smaller contracts seem to go for a premium of 290+ a point and are rare on the market.

We bought three VGC 50 point contracts direct a few months ago. We had originally purchased our direct points at Saratoga, but since we are a West Coast family that home court advantage is a bit useless. We'll eventually sell our Saratoga points, and retain our direct benefits. DVC has never been a "save money" plan for us... it's the memories, the location, and making VGC "affordable".

Nothing wrong with that. I've done some analysis and I have no issues saying VGC is worth it in the long run. I have even read some say that it could go for 400 a point and still be worth it.

I've been wondering about him too.

Third time is the charm!

Looks like they borrowed some 2023 points into 2022 and never used them. That's sort of a bummer, but congrats!
