The Timeshare Store timeline

[sgrap]

Well, don't let the longer times stress you out too much. Are you planning on the points being available for use soon?

yes I was hoping to make reservations for November on or before April 15th, sigh . . .

You have the timing figured out, all right. I wish you the best of luck with closing and am passing along some pixie dust for good measure

Thanks! Trying to keep it all in perspective.

They definitely do verify before closing docs are prepared (estoppel) but many have reported a similar situation-not sure if they check a 3rd time (1st ROFR, 2nd estoppel) or if it has more to do with paying off loans to Disney or MF for the year?

The closing company told me that was one of the reason for delay...sellers need to pay off the loan and MF. We were expected to hear back from Disney this week, but again no news yet.

My timeline is very similare except for the fact that you were able to close and have the deed recorded. I'm quickly approaching 2 full weeks after closing docs and all I can say is the excitement has faded and the frustration has set in. Even if I closed tomorrow (I won't) I still have an additional two weeks to get my membership.

Anyone close and then book a trip for within a few weeks? We are hoping to go (will stay anywhere) end of July! Thanks!

3/26 offer made and accepted
3/27 sent to Disney for ROFR

Does anyone have a timeline for a VGC purchase? We closed today and our contract was sent to CA for the deed to be recorded. I'm wondering how long it might take as I've been told CA takes longer than Florida. Thx!

I'm in the same boat as you. Sent mine 3/12 to RORF and want to go end of August. I started a last minute trip thread and it seems it is possible.

Woo-hoo, just found that our deed was recorded on 3/31, the same day we closed!!! FYI, California now does its recording electronically, so it no long takes extra time for VGC properties.

So . . . when is the earliest that people have shown up in Disney's system after closing? Trying to make a reservation by the 15th. When should I start calling?

Any movement on your contract?

 

[nikkistevej]

We are the sellers, and have had closing through TSS. Anyone with this experience know how long until we get our check? they said up to 2 weeks, but was wondering if it may be sooner?

My Deed has been recorded, so excited.

2/8 Offer made and accepted
2/10 Sent to Rofr
2/25 Rofr Waived
4/1 Estoppel received by closing company

Hopefully on one more wait.

I went through Timeshare store and had Magic Vacation Title, I also financed part of it through Timesharelending and they were all great. Everything went fast and smooth (except waiting on Disney)

Yay! Congrats!! We closed and our deed was recorded 3/31. Did you try calling before today and it wasn't the system yet, or did you just start today?

Yes, I tried calling last Thursday and Friday, and itt wasn't transfer in the DVC system yet. I figure I give them a few more days and tried again today with Member Accounting, the nice lady gave me the membership ID# right away! =)
