I would ... I'm in the middle of my own little horror story... I checked in at 30 days and it turned out something got screwed up and my offer never got sent. Reset to zero... I'm pushing 20(50) days now... I know this has to be super uncommon, but worth a check in.
Oh nooooooo. I’m so sorry!
Scratch this (sorry @pangyal). Apparently my buyers haven't signed yet.
I'm betting it passes... BWV has not been taken since early April. My 240 passed at $125.I’m torn between coming up with a list of backup contracts and making a spreadsheet of how I’ll plan to use my points for the next 2-3 years.
Realistically, I know my offer (200pt loaded BWV for $135/pt) was low and is at risk of being taken but I felt like if I sent something to ROFR without being nervous I’d feel like I overpaid. I’m not in any kind of hurry to own in the sense of having a specific trip in mind to plan/book. So I’ll just sit here, waiting patiently with my fingers crossed sacrificing chickens for the next month…
Dang. That sucks!
I was definitely not shy about checking in. We submitted on 7/14 and I emailed my broker on 8/9. They said that they hadn't heard but have daily calls with Disney and would ask on the next call. Low and behold, I received confirmation today that we passed ROFR.
I didn't know they could call Disney to ask? I'm scared to ask in case they think I'm desperate and take it haha. Still, I have a backup
Years ago, Disney sent ROFR and the at a later time..maybe a week or so later..would send the estoppel certificate.
Not entirely sure how it works. They just mentioned via email that they talk to Disney almost daily so would ask about it during their next call. I doubt Disney really cares about our desperation.
Thanks for the response! So, I take it to mean that this is standard practice these days and we are not special!
Congratulations! That's a great price!
Just an opinion but I'd blame VGF on bad market timing at launch and the type of (hotel) rooms being offered at BPK. Additionally all the added points to that deed will make the better legacy rooms harder to get at the 11 month mark. Poly isn't here yet but again the drop in prices for existing inventory seems top be market conditions. DVCResale use to average 250-400 listings and currently they are at 650 and growing. In theory the new Poly Tower (like a possible BLT2) when it does go on sale should make the price of existing contracts go up, given they are on same deed. The direct price, likely will be more than they currently are so buying resale and having access to a brand new resort at a steep discount makes sense. Disney sells BLT now for $265 they are ROFRing as high as $173 lately. I guess it could just be a quick flip too. A new BLT2 in 2 years would probably be $300 or more and would almost have to have more infrastructure included like new restaurants, shops...etc. I don't think the Contemporary could support another stand alone tower.
So true, thank you! It was all based on "given they are on same deed" like BPK was
