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

[HIRyeDVC]

Heard Marissa and Derek from the board sponsors on a podcast mention two things about ROFR that I’ve never heard before.

1) Disney will typically ROFR more at the beginning of their fiscal year (October) than the end, so they’ll let more contacts pass in August/Sept.

2) Disney will also ROFR some of the sold out resorts leading up to a member cruise in order to have inventory to sell during the member cruise itself.

Hadn’t heard either of these before so just thought I’d share!

that was a great episode. I also loved all the discussion about VDH and VGC in Anaheim

I feel like you’re telling me I should stop what I’m doing and go make some offers right now… alas, if only I could get my husband on board :/.

How to tell people you have a bad case of add-on-itis without telling them. These beauties arrived within 4 days of each other!

Same!!
There’s a HHI contract in my use year that’s slightly more points than I would need but I keep trying to convince my husband it could still be a good deal.
If we didn’t have a new car coming in a couple of weeks…

I hope that's the case. We just had everything sent to Disney on Friday, so our 30 days will be smack dab in the middle of September.

That is indeed interesting. They were both guides so they would know I guess. That’s really the first credible first hand info I’ve ever heard on what goes into those decisions. Many more factors in play obviously but still a tiny peek behind the curtain.

They need to do an entire episode and spill everything they know about how the ROFR sausage is made. Would be fascinating to me. Apparently I have a low threshold for what’s interesting

Ehhhhhhhh....

I like them both, but a DVC guide's insight into the ROFR process is a bit like a bus driver's insight into construction at Hollywood Studios.

Nice get! I saw that yesterday

I was sorely tempted by the twin listings that momentarily popped up last night! Had to tell myself that I'm already in contract and need to reaccumulate funds before looking at more VGC.

It’s a great price though. I side eyed those contracts yesterday but VGC doesn’t make financial sense for my travel needs. I just get excited by a good price!!

So two timeshare salespeople said right now is a good time to buy timeshares. I'm shocked! Could be true, but one would be wise to consider the source.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I know it can't pass... I know it in my brainparts... but I think I need to offer on this $90 OKW.

Could it pass if international seller?
