If you are waiting to Pass ROFR (Disney's Right of First Refusal), please take a moment to enter your data (contract UY, points, price per point, etc.) in this thread. We use this information to maintain a ROFR database.

If you are looking for support as you wait for ROFR, consider visiting our "Waiting for ROFR Support Group," (http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15381) located in Community Hall.

As always, thanks for your contributions.

There are folks who will be monitoring this thread and trying to answer any questions you may have. Several of us have recently migrated to the MO from another board, where we met through a thread designed to be a support group for people in just your situation. If you need specific info about the purchasing process, or opinions about varous resellers, this is a good place to ask. We have established some lists of some of us who are in the process, or have recently completed a purchase, and I think we will keep those current - maybe on both boards. We'll see.

Meanwhile, we are re-establishing our "support group" on the community board, as we have found that we like each other too much to stay on topic. We've tended to get a little involved in one another's lives - which probably crowds out some of the information. If you'd like to find one more nice group of DVC'rs to interact with, look us up over there.

I hope that I will be going to ROFR this week, August use year 50 points. I am holding back the price per point, due to superstition. I do not think I have a chance of passing, but if I do I will share.:Pssst:

[Laxmom]

I have already passed and are waiting to close but I know that information on HHI contracts isn't as readily available so here is our info;

50 HHI points Aug UY 50 '07 points and 50 '08 points $68 per point

[tammymacb]

I just passed ( and closed a week ago ) on a small add on BWV, June UY, 50 points with all 07 foreward ( 07 banked ) at 87 pp.

[cheapmom]

recently passed rofr
100 HHI- Jun. 100 08 points coming 6/1/08- $67 per point, seller pays all closing costs

[minniekissedme]

I'll take it a tad further to help newbies understand a bit more. First let me say my name is bob and I'm an addict! We are a family of five, me, DW, DS11, DD9, DS7.

We purchased SSR - 350 points in two contracts, 200/150, from Shontell at DVCbyResale. June UY, 342 banked '07 points (a story all by itself) and all of 2008 points. We paid closing costs and '08 MF's

Timeline is as follows:
Feb 25 offered $78 on $81 contract
Feb 26 offer accepted
Feb 27 off to Disney for ROFR
March 17 :ale: because we passed ROFR!!!
April 3 papers finally received after estoppel process...:jawdroppi
April 7 papers and check received at settlement firm
April 11 closed
April 20ish points in the system

First trip home to SSR - 87 days, 12 hours, 31 minutes! :jumpingbe

Hope that helps...those of us that have spent time together on the "support group" thread have gone through similar yet very different experiences and have a lot to offer. Happy to help answer any questions I can!

thanks for listening...

I too just passed ROFR and the other fun waiting games with buying resale I am now the proud owner of 150 points at BWV. Just got my Membership cards over the weekend and made my first Ressie.

For all of you just starting the process, good luck, congratulatuions and we're around if you need moral support! :howudoin:

[Grandbuddy]

Took the sons, daughters-in-law and 4 grandchildren to WDW in December. Three rooms at AllStar Music. Had a wonderful, fabulous time together as a family, and the boys and their families were as hooked as we were. Knew we wanted to do this at least every other year, but that we could use more room!

Started haunting a couple of Disney boards as soon as we got home, looking through almost every DVC-related thread, to learn all I could. Starting out, I was actually looking for dissatisfied customers, to dissuade me from spending all this money. Couldn't find very many malcontents, and became more and more convinced that DVC would be perfect for my family.

For estate purposes, the wife and I decided we wanted 2 contracts, rather than 1 large one, so that we can leave (a long time from now, we hope) separate contracts to our sons. For many sound reasons, I really think that is a good idea for (especially older) folks with children, due to the length of the contracts.

We have already closed on our first purchase: a 160 point contract at SSR, December use year, with 110 banked '06 points and 131 '07 points, full 160 coming 12/1/08. Paid $79 per point through DVCbyResale, plus closing costs and current year monthly fees.

We waited only 13 calendar days for Disney to waive ROFR; then another 20 for estoppel. When we received closing docs, I immediately sent them back with a certified check - only to learn that our sellers were out of town for 2 weeks, after their closing documents were e-mailed to them. So, delays are possible at any point in the process. We closed one week ago tomorrow, and were told to wait at least a week before checking to see if we are in the system. I've been good. It has helped that I have been with my grandchildren in Nashville for most of that time! Update 5/29 - got an e-mail from DVC today with instructions to register on the member website. Called for my membership number and club ID. Registered and found my points are already credited and ready to go.

I have made an offer on a 2nd contract (actually, this represents my 5th attempt to purchase a 2nd contract!). This offer has been accepted by the sellers, and will likely be submitted for ROFR late next week, as the sellers are using snail mail:
$78 a point for a 170-point contract at SSR, December UY. 42 banked '06 points; all 170 '07 points are banked into '08; all '08 points are intact. Buyer to pay closing and GMAC fee.

[Mickeyfan0805]

We passed through ROFR two weeks ago, and are currently residing in estoppleville. Estoppel, we have seen lately, is often taking as long if not longer than ROFR. We are purchasing a 120 point contract at $82 per point with all 07 and 08 points. We really can't wait to get closed. And, if we're lucky, we'll be able to use our points this fall.

[administrator]

Hi, all --

I've noticed that some of y'all are forgetting to mentioned which resort you purchased. If you wouldn't mind editing and adding that info, that would be great! Thx.

[Princess Amy]

Hi All

We are in the process of buying BCV 270 points March UY $84 a point, with all the points (we actually offered more than what it was listed for). Compared to most who passed ROFR we got a good deal. We saved around $5400 going resale vs buying through Disney.

We made an offer end of March, we passed ROFR 9 days later. We were in Estoppeland for 31 days (very very long). We are now waiting to close.

We bought through GMAC and dealt with Rachel and she was great!! Emailed me back quickly.

Since we are going to bank 08' points we have not been in a hurry. If you are not a patient person it might be a little hard for you......however if you have a great group of friends who are going through it too...it is much easier!!!!! So come visit with us if you have questions or imput:blueflowe..........

[cheyenne]

Hi all,

Also just passed ROFR last week. We're buying 100 pts., AKV, $95/pt, all '08 & '09 pts. We're using TTS. I know some will think I could have done better buying directly through Disney with the incentive, but we didn't want to be forced to buy 160 pts. Too much cash to have to come up with right now. :yes:

My ROFR process took exactly 2 weeks. Now I'm in the dreaded estoppelland. :blech: Hope that process goes as quickly & smoothly as the 1st. I do think it helps to have motivated sellers.

Good luck to all that are at various stages. :dust

[TikiTwinsDad]

I know this says "waiting for ROFR," but as I am catching up on the past, here's 2 that we are purchasing that recently passed

VWL - 220 points - all 220 points coming October 2008 - $81/point (submitted 5/5/08, passed 5/19/08)

BCV - 125 points - 133 points (includes 8 banked) coming December 2008 - $96/point (submitted 5/9/08, passed 5/22/08)

Now we're waiting to get through estoppel & close. Hope to make first trip home May 2009 (don't worry, we're still going in October "just" staying at the Grand Floridian).

[Mickeyfan0805]

Got an e-mail at 11am saying that we were through estoppel and would be getting our docs from the closing company within a few days! :clappingh

Then, 2 hours later, I GOT THE DOCS!!!! :dancingba:dancingba:dancingba

We're almost there! Timeline to date has not been as miraculously rapid as a few we've seen, but it has been pretty good and I have no room to complain so far. Here's where we've been.

Offer tendered and accepted on 4/21, sent to ROFR that day.

Passed ROFR May 11.

Received closing docs May 29.

So far so good.:wearenumb

[dvcnewgirl]

[tink'smom2B]

Here's my info: 150 BCV December use year. 34 '07 pts., 150 coming in Dec. for $86 pp. Purchased 2/26, passed ROFR on 3/26. Closing documents sent 4/18. Still waiting for Seller :sosad: to return his documents!! My DH is the most patient person in the world!!! I guess we will wait it out and see what happens next. Talking to my DH about this is like :headbange By next week I will look like :blech:

[tammymacb]

I seriously cannot believe you're still waiting...You are way more patient than me..

[Grandbuddy]

$78 a point for a 170-point contract at SSR, December UY. 42 banked '06 points; all 170 '07 points are banked into '08; all '08 points are intact. Buyer to pay closing and GMAC fee.

Also got a call today from my guide, who asked whether I'd gotten my materials and such - so apparently she was kind enough to see to it that my points got into the system quickly, and my planner got here. She also asked about my add-on plans...and I told her about my pending contract. (OK - am I stupid or what?!?!?!) So, if she wants to torpedo this one, she has the ammo. (But she seems like a really nice lady.)

[Holiday Road]

Congratulations GB!!!

Great news, GB and good luck with the new contract.

We got our closing docs late last week and got everything back - we are now waiting to hear we closed.

Our timeline for those with inquiring minds;

Rofr 4/1/08
passed 4/14/08
Attorney in SC had paperwork on 4/19/08
Recieved closing docs 5/29/08

Roughly 2 months start to finish for our HHI contract. See post #4 for details.

[Snoopey]

Hi,

My resaler has just informed me that she sent the contract to Disney for the ROFR, I'm a little nervous hopefully we can pass.
I purchased a 31 point contract at Disney Villas at Wilderness lodge. Price per point is 81 USD. UY is October.

Fingers crossed.

[Grandbuddy]

Keep us posted.

[BJFOSS]

I just got off the phone with Scott from the DVCstore. We have a property on hold for us. Just waiting the paper work and then the real waiting will begin. I am so happy. I;ve wanted to own DVC for 5 years. We went with a different timeshare then and were told we could get Disney property stay all the time. They lied to us. We did get to stay 3 times and now that we have finally gotten out of that timeshare we are going to be DVC owners. CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COMET ON!!!!:jumpingbe Thanks to all of you out there with your answers to my questions and all the other advise i have been reading about for a long time. WHOO HOO!!!!

I purchased a 31 point contract at Disney Villas at Wilderness lodge. Price per point is 81 USD. UY is October.

Fingers crossed.

Here are the ROFR-passing statistics I've collected for VWL resales with an October UY. The individual contracts had these points and dollar amounts:

200 Points at $82.00 each
220 Points at $82.00 each
175 Points at $83.00 each
100 Points at $85.00 each
28 Points at $86.00 each
60 Points at $87.00 each

I'm finding passing rates falling across the board, presumably due to this economy.

Good luck with your contract and please keep us informed.

[Laxmom]

You've got to share the details once you get that paperwork! (I say that in case you are hesitant to share that info yet.) We love to drool over other peoples contracts!!:drool:

We did the same thing as you. We toured 7 years ago and bought Marriott....twice. We still have them and love them but ......it was time to add DVC to our portfolio of ownership. We toured again last fall on a cruise and didn't buy then either. Third time is a charm!!!

Good luck on your contract!! You will have to join us over at the ROFR support thread while you wait.

[mountainjourno]

Okay - I'm now officially waiting on ROFL for some BCV points.

They were sent on Friday (June 6th 2008) and the deal is:

200 December points for $87 pp. Includes 16 banked points, 183 current (Dec 2007) points, and will have the full quota of Dec 2008 points. I've asked them to bank the 2007 points.

Fingers crossed this goes through! :bouncingg

[BJFOSS]

Here's the scoop. Boardwalk dec uy...150...126 from 2008 and all of 2009. $83 a point. I know i could have tried for less but i am so chicken and not very good at negottiating.... faxed paper work back this morning and will send the check tomorrow with the down payment. yeah!!!i will be joining the other thread....just waiting ....

[DVC-Owner]

Recently passed ROFR... here's the details.

Saratoga Springs Resort

350 points with 184 points in bank.

350 points on Sept. 08 and Sept. 09

September Use Year

$78 per point

I paid the closing costs


Note: I bought from Robert at The Timeshare Store and he was excellent to deal with. I should also note we felt it would be 50/50 whether Disney exercised its ROFR. Needless to day, I am glad Disney declined!

Cheers,

DVC-Owner

[Laxmom]

Congrats and good luck to all you guys who just submitted your contracts!! The not knowing is the worst part. Be sure to join us on the support thread to pass the time! There are a lot of people there who have just gone thru or are going thru this too!

See, now, that just gets my hopes up. I have one pending for $78 a point, too, on a pretty much loaded 170-point SSR contract. You're welcome to join our "support group" on the Community Board, even though you've already passed.

Congratulations Snoopy. Why are you a little nervous about ROFR? For me it was a piece of cake but then again I'm one of those people that just goes with the flow. I'm sure everything will work out but the waiting can be a little :hammer:.

Congratulations. I read your follow up post. If your paying closing costs and MF then I think you shouldn't have an issue, you'll make it through.

Okay - I'm now officially waiting on ROFL for some BCV points.


Congratulations and I have to say your taking this whole thing much better than
I did when I went through ROFR I was a nervous wreck. I wanted to get it closed in time to make a reservation and it was close, etc. But you your "ROFL" while waiting, that is pretty cool.

Sorry couldn't help it.

[TikiTwinsDad]

We were told by the Timeshare Store that our purchase of 2 contracts - VWL 220 pts Oct UY (submitted 5/5) and BCV 125 pts Dec UY (submitted 5/9) closed on 6/10/08. So, that has to be some kind of a record. We're owners and should be in the system in a week or 2!

Rachel from GMAC called me today to report that Disney has waived ROFR on our contract:

$78 a point for a 170-point contract at SSR, December UY. 42 banked '06 points; all 170 '07 points are banked into '08; all '08 points are intact. Buyer to pay closing and GMAC fee.

On to estoppification (yes I know that is not a real word, but I like it).

[TikiTwinsMom]

Congrats, GB! Sounds like a great deal. Love the new avatar. Too cute!

[dvcnewgirl]

I passed!:jumpingbe 50 points VB I paid 57.40 p/p sellers pay closing and GMAC fee. So before closing costs it was 45 p/p. No points until 2009. August UY.

[DVC4fun!]

We closed on June 11th and got an email from the closing agency that we should wait 10-14 business days to call DVC. That's great, we're very happy and can hardly wait to make a reservation.
Will we receive any other information as to what our DVC membership number is and so forth before we call in? Or do you just call in with your name and DVC gives you the membership number at that time?
This is getting really exciting, and I don't want to do anything wrong.:headscrat

[Grandbuddy]

Will we receive any other information as to what our DVC membership number is and so forth before we call in? Or do you just call in with your name and DVC gives you the membership number at that time?


About 8 days after closing, we got an e-mail with a one-time code we needed to register online, and instructions to call member services for further instructions. If you already have a password for any official Disney site, you'll use the same one for the member services website. But first, they'll walk you through the set-up, over the phone.

So a refresher: 200 December points for $87 pp. Includes 16 banked points, 183 current (Dec 2007) points, and will have the full quota of Dec 2008 points. I've asked them to bank the 2007 points.

That's terrific. It seemed for a little while there, they were taking a lot longer to get thru ROFR.:welcome:

[car_line4]

Hello to Everyone...my first ever post. My family of 4 has been to WDW 7 times over the past 20 yrs. Most recently this past Feb. Did the DVC tour and fell in love!!! had to join in.... I have been watching the listing with DVC Resale and finally saw one that was a good start for us. 50 SSR Dec UY with 50 '06 banked all 50 '07 and all '08 coming!!! Faxed the papers on Friday morning along with mailing in the deposit. Got an email Friday afternoon saying it was sent to Disney for ROFR. got another email on Monday saying deposit was received. Now the waiting game!!!

I have a question. Will I be able to bank the '07 points? Or will my time limit have passed?? If so how hard is it to make get last minute reservations to use the points before they expire??? Thank you all for the valuable info you give!!! I love this site!

[Laxmom]

Welcome and welcome!!! Congrats on your contract!! Lots of great info on this site! You'll love it!

I have heard that MS will work on you to bank those points with a one time exception. It wasn't that you missed the deadline; you didn't have the opportunity to bank them. You should be okie dokie.

Join us at the ROFR support thread. It is a great place to kill time waiting for your news!!

[Grandbuddy]

I have a question. Will I be able to bank the '07 points? Or will my time limit have passed?? If so how hard is it to make get last minute reservations to use the points before they expire??? Thank you all for the valuable info you give!!! I love this site!

Congratulations on your purchase. You have the same SSR UY that I have.

You have until July 31 to bank your '07 points. You could possibly squeeze under the wire for the banking deadline. But, as Susan noted, we understand DVC has worked with new owners in the past, allowing them to bank their newly acquired points.

Welcome.

[car_line4]

Thank you for your quick responses!!! I hope to make it in by July 31, but if not then...oh shucks....I have to plan a trip to Disney before December!!! I will keep you all posted on my progress.

Since we are going to bank 08' points we have not been in a hurry. If you are not a patient person it might be a little hard for you......however if you have a great group of friends who are going through it too...it is much easier!!!!! So come visit with us if you have questions or imput:blueflowe..........

Update...all of our stuff was sent to Disney on the 16th of June and we just found out today that we are in the system now!!! Our points are not in the system yet, they said next week sometime...so yes this takes a little bit of time...but it is well worth it!!!!

[Grandbuddy]

But you are oh so close, now.

:welcome: home!

[palmdelicious@aol.com]

Just bought 250pts (250 were banked already:) @ SS for $78 a pt.
We just closed Friday !!!!!!

[Grandbuddy]

I'm waiting for estoppel on a 170-point SSR contract, also at $78 @. Closed on a 160-point SSR contract several weeks ago. Should have everything in order by mid- to late-July, Lord willing.

I don't know when I've ever been much more excited over being able to do something for my family. I really believe this is going to be special to my kids and grandkids for the next four decades, plus.

[car_line4]

Went to ROFR on 6/13


UPDATE---still waiting on ROFR... !!!!!!! 8 business days and counting..:bitemylip

[Grandbuddy]

You should be hearing soon. Hoping we can say "Welcome Home to SSR!"

[car_line4]

Thanks Grandbuddy!!! will keep reading the boards for tips while waiting!:)

http://baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/vascubaguy/main&localparams=1

the above is a link to a database that nobody has used for a while- but if people enter their rofr data here it could once again become a great resource. I don't know why it was abandoned. You can click on "search' to filter by resort...
Click "New" to enter your rofr data.
I love this database because you can sort by clicking on the top of the columns- unfortunately the date sort doesn't really work because the dates are allowed to be entered in various formats- but it is still pretty good.

[car_line4]

Got the email today saying Disney waived and the contract is mine!!!!!!:clappingh Now I will be patiently waiting for my final papers!
Just to review...50pts SSR ....Dec UY....$87pp.... 50pts banked '06... 50pts for '07 available and all 50pts coming for '08..... Can't wait to hear "Welcome Home"

Just to review...50pts SSR ....Dec UY....$87pp.... 50pts banked '06... 50pts for '07 available and all 50pts coming for '08..... Can't wait to hear "Welcome Home"

Lynne:hahahaha:

:welcome: Home!!

Maybe not as much fun as the one you'll hear when you actually arrive at your resort, but I'm doing the best I can, here.

We are waiting for estoppel on our second contract, and I will be so glad when we get closed. (If we can get there before 7/31, I have about 40 more points I can bank!) Then, we start our first WDW stay as DVC members on 11/7. Very exciting.

[Grandbuddy]

Received closing docs by e-mail today, and mailed the certified check and docs back, priority mail. (I think it would have easily gotten there Monday, by regular 1st class, but this way I can track it.)

Howdy folks!

If you're interested in seeing how your contract price compares to those of others, the latest ROFR Database list in now available.

The list can be found at http://www.mouseowners.com/info/showentry.php?e=131

Sorry, for taking so long to get this out but other things keep getting in the way of me getting statistics pulled together more frequently. (For some reason, my wife actually expects me to produce income each month...<grin>.)

Best I can tell, I did pretty well, especially on the second purchase. Wasn't thrilled with the GMAC fee, but getting all the 07 points, and 42 banked 06 points, without reimbursing for mfs, was a real bonus - and actually unexpected. I didn't realize I wasn't reimbursing mfs until the contract came to me, to be signed.

You did extremely well on your per-point price on both contracts, but I do especially envy your second!

When we purchased resale from International Properties GMAC Real Estate, they didn't charge the Administrative Fee. However, there have been many buyers who negotiate to have the seller pay that fee.

:bouncingp Got the email with all my closing papers to sign this afternoon!!!! One more step closer. Will mail everything back with final payment tomorrow and wait for the Closing!!!

Grandbuddy congrats on your second contract!!! I'm super excited to take our first DVC trip, hopefully in OCT if I can get a ressie!!! Then maybe again for Mardi Gras next year. Thats our usual travel time. We love wearing our mardi gras beads and purple and gold LSU shirts!!! Geaux Tigers!!!!

Oh...your'e one of them! Just kidding! Congrats on the closing paperwork!! You are almost there!!!

Opinions everyone on buying "VWL 150 points August Use Year", $78 per point, 150 points coming on August 2008 with Buyer paying MF, nothing banked nothing borrowed, Buyer paying closing costs.

[Laxmom]

Never done crawfish but willing to give it a try!

I am prejudiced. I love VWL and would love to buy a contract there so I am not sure I am the one to ask. Definately biased. The price per point sounds good if it passes ROFR. I'd probably give it a shot. If you like VWL, what do you have to lose? You just can't go wrong with VWL, imo.

If the price per point is not in line with the prices that are passing ROFR, you can even offer more than the asking. That's what I did with my 2nd contract, as I was pretty sure the asking price would never pass.

[ciannamea]

I was surprised today when I logged into my dvc acct. We just passed ROFR on a 200pt BCV (87/pt) contract 2 weeks ago and it was listed in my account today. That just made my day!

[Laxmom]

Congrats and welcome home!!!

[Grandbuddy]

Got word this morning from Rachel at GMAC that my contract (SSR 2.5) has closed. Interestingly enough, the contract is already showing up on my account (as *****.1), but the points haven't been credited, yet.

It generally takes a day or two for points to show up in your account.

Oh, and thank you for your kinds words about the ROFR Database! I'm glad it helps!

Hello,

Disney just exercised their ROFR on our contract, $67 at OKW, 230 points. http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/images/smilies/new/crackedup.gif

We have bid on another contract, 230 at 72. We expect this one to pass based on recent history.

Wow! That's a real bummer. Here's to a better outcome the 2nd time around. :tinker:

[Laxmom]

Wow, Rob, I am sorry to hear that. Fingers are crossed for you on this one!
We lost one to Marriott before we bought our DVC earlier this year. It is extremely agravating!

[Grandbuddy]

Better luck this go-round, Rob.

[hilaw]

OKW first contract looked too good, thus, didn't pass.
Second contract looks good. Good Luck!

[hilaw]

Someone should start a failure to pass ROFR thread.
This would also be very good information to have.
Anything in the past, existing thread, or Any takers?

[Laxmom]

Thought I would post this here for anyone interested in HHI points.

We purchased 50 points resale and closed in June. We got 50 07 points as well as all 08 points. We paid closing and GMAC fee. Aug UY. Closing costs for HHI were $800 - must use an attorney according to SC law. Price per points was $68, I believe.

We just bought 50 more points this week. We got 50 07 points and 50 08 points with an Aug. UY so those will be deposited on August 1 and we were permitted to bank the 07 points. $5 off per point for exsisting member. We paid the exact same amount going direct that we did going resale. One big difference, the resale took 8 weeks. Our points from our direct sale took 24 hours to show in our account. Price per point was $87.

If you are looking for HHI points, make sure you include your closing costs in your price per point. This is one instance where it may not make sense to go resale if you are going to buy more than 160 pts.

Just thought I would share our experience. I would still do it this way since we were able to buy in at less than the required 160 pts. thru Disney.

[disneydadrrm]

We just spent the fastest 25 days between offer and closing, Amazingly, we offered and closed within 25 days. This was much faster than our past experiences w/resale. The last two experiences (1 purchase, 1 sale) each took about two months to complete.I don't know what the difference was this time (used the same resale service) but was very happy now as we will be able to call about a one week stay at a one bedroom @ OKW (our new home resort) for Sept./Oct.

[mgilmer]

Resort: BCV
Points: 30

Congratulations disneydayrrm. That is a fast turnaround.

Hey, check out the MOD Squad (MouseOwner Dads) thread, over on Community Hall.

Good luck, mgilmer. Our last purchase was through GMAC, and Rachel did a great job for us. First purchase was through Shontel, at DVCbyResale. She was real good to work with, too.

Hello all, we heard from Disney yesterday, the are passing on their ROFR!

Here are the stats:

OKW - 230 @72
Submitted: 7/18/2008
Passed: 7/24/2008

They processed very fast! Our broker company (The TimeShare Store) said we will have final papers in 3 weeks.

BTW, can't say enough good things about Scot and the whole team at the Timeshare Store. They answered all our questions (which were considerable) and helped us fee comfortable with the whole process. 2 thumbs up!

Also also for all the kind works on this forum!

Whew, what a relief to be in the final stages. Oh wait, bet they are going to want some money soon! :)

[my3weasels]

We found out yesterday we passed ROFR! :kickingco

SSR 100 pts. Feb UY $76./pt.
100 banked 2007 pts. available
100 2008 pts. banked into 2009 (perfect for our trip home next year!)

[GrumpysTink]

We were told today that our offer of $83 on 50 points at VWL (Oct) was accepted. Now it's off to ROFR...

Gina

[Laxmom]

Did you buy one of those OCT UY that I saw? Both had borrowed points, I believe. Congrats! Now for ROFR!!! The fun begins!!!

[GrumpysTink]

Yep, I bought one of them. I'm not too crazy that the 2008 points are borrowed from 2009 but, we want VWL and I didn't want to finance so the price is right. And we'd already made our plans for the rest of this year. Basically it all boiled down to doable. LOL

Gina

[Laxmom]

That's what I thought too. We did that with our HHI pts. We just added on last week after closing on the first 50 in June. We booked our first stay with our points at VWL over Labor Day before we cruise. I have this feeling that DH will want points there once he sees the place!!:drool:

I wondered about those contracts just like you did.

[hilaw]

I am so betting that he is gonna want to add on there! He says no. I thought that was where he would want to buy our points to begin with but he decided that we would go to HHI more often. I told him, 50 pts would do it so we could go every three. He says no. I am still soooo sure! And of course I would not protest one bit!!:kickingco

It should be submitted to Disney for ROFR 8/18.

[Grandbuddy]

It doesn't have to be the "best" contract to be the best one for you. Sometimes we act like it's a contest to see who can get the lowest price. (Now, those of us who have already bought are going to be happy if the price actually goes up, aren't we?) The main thing is that you are buying something you want, and you are happy about it.

Hope you can hear :welcome: home, very soon.

We passed through ROFR two weeks ago, and are currently residing in estoppleville. Estoppel, we have seen lately, is often taking as long if not longer than ROFR. We are purchasing a 120 point contract at $82 per point with all 07 and 08 points. We really can't wait to get closed. And, if we're lucky, we'll be able to use our points this fall.


Passed ROFR today. It was submitted Monday, so 4 business days after submission.

Where is a good place to find resales? I'm excited about my direct purchase and wondering I probably could have done better, but could perhaps jump twice and add-on for even more points.

[Grandbuddy]

Where is a good place to find resales? I'm excited about my direct purchase and wondering I probably could have done better, but could perhaps jump twice and add-on for even more points.

Well, probably not. However, some of us would believe strongly in finding that inexpensive resale, first - and then adding on with Disney, since there are no closing costs on an add-on purchased through Disney, once you are a DVC member.

Understand the banking, borrowing, and transfer rules before deciding on a resale contract. You probably want to purchase a contract with the same use year of your original contract - and make certain the selling agent and the closing agent are aware that you are doing an add-on. If the use years match, they should be able to close the purchase under your original master contract. (You'll have to provide your member number to them.) This is important to avoid the later necessity of transferring points.

Before adding on at a different resort, make certain you understand the 11-month vs. 7-month booking rules. At 11 months, points are resort-specific.

And, here are some "good places to find resales:"

http://www.dvcbyresale.com/ (Shontell Crawford - a nice lady. I bought my first contract through her.)

http://www.resalesdvc.com/FAQ_Buy_a_DVC/page_1927001.html (Jaki and Kinn - people seem to like them.)

http://www.internationalgmac.com/hotdeals.jsp (Probably more listings than anybody. You have to call to get full info. If you find a contract that interests you, ask for Rachel. I bought my second contact through her and saved a pile of money. Their agents are busy, so they can be a little slow getting back to you. Be persistent. $195 administrative fee, but they are not as insistent on including reimbursement of MFs to the sellers.)

http://www.dvc-resales.com/ (Sponsors of the Dis-boards. Mixed reviews, lately, as to performance, but probably the majority of their customers are satisfied.)

Good luck.

[Sapper]

Thanks Grandbuddy -- indeed much to learn and thanks to this sight the learning curve doesn't seem too steep.

So, adding-on via DVC is better, make a note.

[mhycki]

I am in the process of closing on a resale from Jaki and Kinn at www.resalesdvc.com ...In fact I just sent in the signed documents with a check .. so I should be done in the next few weeks .:cheers2: they have been extremely helpful and more than willing to answer the 5 million emails I have sent them during this process.

We purchased 200 points in 2003 at SSR
Addonitis, (which I am glad to hear is a medically recognizeable condition!!) afflicted me and the DW to the tune of 150 points at SSR in 2004 which puts us at 350 with a UY of February. Is there a cure for addonitis as my wife actually inquired about more points since we have 3 kids and 350 does not divide by 3?!?
I recently saw a thread that listed the different dues per point by resort and I will chalk it up to blind luck that SSR is the most economical of the resorts.

curious what the contract has for points...current, borrowed, banked??? Inquiring minds want to know because that is an unheard of price. Congratulations!!!

Many thanks! We were pretty astounded, but for our purposes, the cost...er cost savings were too good to pass up, even if we didn't get the approval by Disney - we had to try.

We have all of 2008 points and all of 2009 going fwd, from what I understand. The sellers didn't use any or borrow either. We were not told anything substantial as to why the sellers were selling so low, but I think it was due to a conflict of interest as both the seller and buyer were to use Jaki & Kinn of http://www.resalesdvc.com/

I think we were just spazz-tastically lucky or wildly obsessed to find a good deal. Probably a little of both, LOL!

So, adding-on via DVC is better, make a note.

It depends on where you want to buy. If you want AKV, buying through Disney is PROBABLY better, due to lack of closing costs and current incentives.

If you want a different resort, you will probably save more money going resale, and paying closing costs, because Disney charges much more than resale prices for "sold out" resorts.

And a lot depends upon the size of the add-on. You need to see if Disney has inventory on a sold-out resort, and check their price per point. Then look at the price of a resale. Figure $400-450 for closing costs, and add that to the price, and see which is a better deal. If it is almost a toss-up, go Disney because it will be a lot faster and easier. If the resale is significantly cheaper and you are not in a big hurry....

It doesn't really matter that 350 does not divide by three. Your contracts cannot be divided, in any case, unless you actually bought your 200 and 150 in smaller increments that add up to 200 and 150. Once in the system, the number of points in a contract cannot be split up or altered. You sell or transfer (or inherit) the full number of points. So, at present, you have one 200-point contract that could be transferred to one child and one 150-point contract that could be transferred to another child. Or, the full membership of 350 points could be left to all three children, jointly - in which case any financial difficulty on the part of any one child could adversely affect the DVC membership for everybody (liens, bankruptcy, etc.).

Hi all!
As I understood it in the initial DVC presentation for AKV - increments of 160 could be broken out. Example: 320 points are two - 160's so on and so forth. I presume that was only if you bought the 320 points in one shot at one resort. They tagged it as the "Estate" plan.

Yes, they could be "broken out," at the time of purchase. Not later.

Actually, once you bought the initial 160, had you asked they would have sold you additional points in increments (add-ons) as low as 25 points, each. (It might have worked to your benefit to add these on, later, however - depending upon how Disney figures closing costs for the initial purchase(s)).

I got my last contract for $78 a point without reimbursing any current year mfs (and all were pre-banked for me, into next year).

Best of luck.

Given what I've seen in recent weeks, this seems like a very passable contract - unless they have something looking for exactly that on one of their lists. Good luck!:thumbsup:

BWV submitted to Disney 8-28. 150 points $76.76 a pt. 150 pts. from 2007 banked and all 2008 available. Buyer pays closing. I think I may have offer too low and will get ROFR'ed. Any opinions out there?
Thanks,

This has a chance to go through pricewise.
Other posts I've read have said Disney does't look at banked or available points.
You'll have a good deal with the banked points.

SSR - 130 Aug - 50 banked 07 points- all 130 08 points. $71.25 - seller pays all fees and closing costs.

[LaPeter]

I just found out that Disney RORF'ed us at BWV, 150 pts at $76.67 Dec. UY all '08 points. I just got another offer accepted for $79.41 a point at BWV. Let's see what happens I will post details of the new offer when everybody has signed the contract.

[mountainjourno]

The seller signed their side of the contract today, and the realtor has sent them off to Disney for the ROFR process! So here goes (oh please please please!)

Saratoga Springs
300 September points
All 2008 points in tact, ditto for 2009
Seller pays 2008 dues
Price: $63.34 per point.

Bittersweet because I bought SSR direct in 2006.

I got smarter and bought VWL resale a few months ago.

First post! Hope I do it right!:scary:

We just sent in a contract to Disney on Sept 3rd for ROFR
This will be our first DVC purchase.
BCV 270 pts, Sept use year - 179 banked, all pts for 2008 & 2009, I pay closing costs and 1/2 of the MF's for 2008.

I cant believe the number of listings for SSR, the TTS store has a zillion of them it looks like! Good luck on all those great offers people have going on!

Can you tell us how much per point?

Some of these prices makes you want to purchase.

[mountainjourno]

But remember - I don't have the points yet! And I doubt my contract is going to pass ROFR. I just can't see it happening at that low a price. Happily - I'm not in a hurry to buy (I already have plenty of points) so I had nothing to lose by trying :)

Do you know when they sent it to Disney? I can't wait to see what happens with your contract. If I am not mistaken, there have been NO reports of SSR getting ROFRd (here or on the DIS) in like 6 months.

I believe they sent it Friday morning. (So we have a long wait!!!) But yeah - I was thinking this will prove or disprove the theory that Disney isn't ROFRing SSR anymore!!

We closed in June.We own 250 points at SSR :)
Our first trip home will be Jan.16 actually home 1br SSR.

While I don't pull data from that site (I have other sources which provide better information), I did see the contract to which you refer pass.

The previous HHI contract I have in my data, with a December UY, passed last November at $72.00. That one also had 150 points.

Seen any SSR contracts go as low as $63 yet? (oh please please!!)

[Mickeyfan0805]

Seen any SSR contracts go as low as $63 yet? (oh please please!!)

I certainly hope not! While I understand the desire to buy in cheap, SSR was going for $80+ as recently as May/June. If we see a 25% drop in value that fast, it would be a really bad sing for the future of DVC. It is bad enough that prices have been dropping. I'd hate to see the DVC become one of these timeshares so worthless you can't even give them away.

Don't worry - you'll always be able to give them to me :)

But seriously - one person trying to sell their points quickly and therefore lowering the price doesn't mean SSR has devalued. Despite that contract being advertised for two weeks - no-one else lowered their price to match it (in fact, it's still being advertised as they haven't put the "pending" on it yet!)

So although I have another 300 SSR points that I paid $83+ for, I'm not worried that this contract will cause a drop in value.

[Delaware Mike]

Seen any SSR contracts go as low as $63 yet? (oh please please!!)

Ahem.... now how do I say this tactfully...??? ...no ...and I hope I don't... (I bought at $81 two years ago).

:)

The lowest I've seen is a 320 point, June UY, contract at $69.00. This one passed ROFR just last month.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I think $63.00 is a tad low to pass ROFR. But, good luck with your offer.

[barbbq]

I am adding 50 points resale to my SSR Oct uy. It was sent to Disney on Saturday Sept. 6 for ROFR. I am hopeful. The price was $81.00 point/ I will get 50 banked and 50 reg points on 10/01/08. I don't have to pay DVC dues until 2009. I thought this was a great deal!! :sunny:

I think it speaks more about the present state of DVC and the economy- not really about the future of DVC. I wouldn't worry too much. DVC wants to unload points right now. Contrary to some reports sales must be down. Why else would they lower the min. buy-in to 100 points. In 16 years of selling DVC they never had to make the min. buy-in so low. Right now it appears that buying back contracts via ROFR is not high on their priority list. I think they are trying to make some specific numbers before the fiscal year closes. (Sept. 30th?)

[LaPeter]

Second contract sent to Disney today. Details are 200 pts. BWV, March UY, $79.41 per pt., 200 pts. good until 3-09, 400 pts. available 3-09 (200 banked from 2008) and 200 pts avail. 3-2010. Buyer pays closing costs and maint. fees due in 2009. Wish me luck!

I hope to grab something, anything, during the kids upcoming winter break. Will let you know when word comes back from Disney.

Hey where are you mountainjourno? We are the 2 waiting for word on seriously low SSR ROFRs- isn't the treehouse news exciting??? I feel like if we get through ROFR - either of us- we have picked up the deal of the century. I expect to see an increase in SSR prices soon.

:headbrick I am still waiting to hear about my contract too. :bagovermy

I am worried that the wait for rofr is going to be long with all this DVC BLT blow out going on, and then,,, assuming I pass rofr -- i figure its going to be a looooooonnnnnnngggg wait to close and get in the computer system.

sigh. :headbrick

ps, this site has great smilies :drool:

Hi Riley- are you RileyGirl on the DIS?

Scatulo: Jaki said she got a bunch at once, so heres hoping you get good news soon! I think she said she got contracts she was waiting for that were submitted Sep 8th and earlier.... but I could be totatllly wrong -- I may have been too busy dancing around to comprehend accurately!

Alas, I received message this morning that I am too cheap - something that will not be tolerated at Disney. :snooty:

(of course, paired with their Treehouse announcement this morning, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they decided to snatch up my Saratoga contract! But to be fair, I had no idea that was on the horizon right now!)

Hmmm. Maybe I jinxed myself by posting the details. I will be skulking in the shadows, searching for another ridiculous bargain!! :cool2: But thank you for crossing your fingers on my behalf! Very much appreciated :sunny:

Oh goodness no! Their words were, "You are a stingy cheap cow, the likes of whom will not be tolerated at an establishment where such elegant, articulate folk like Ms Deevy See frequent"

Well, I'm paraphrasing of course...let's see. Where's that email? Oh yes, "I'm sorry to inform you that DVC has decided to exercise their Right of First Refusal." Okay, well, I was close!

Got the good news yesterday our 160 SSR points @$76per passed ROFR. Not surprised but glad to have that hurdle passed. It was submitted to Disney on 9/10 and okayed on 9/16. Getting closer to having to send a BIG check! :blech:

passed ROFR 9/8/08..I think both contracts, but waiting for confirmation

passed rofr on the OKW AUG UY contract 9/8 and on the Dec UY on 9/16...they were submitted together I assume, who knows what took a week

We passed in June.Thanks:)

If you mean the one in your signature....post more. It has nothing to do with your DVC purchase and everything to do with your post count.

After 76 posts, MO site automatically "upgrades" member to studio.

I wondered silently to myself and it happened exactly when my 76th post was made. I don't know what the number is for one bedroom and up.

Howdy everybody!


One of our MO Administrators posted a nice explanation of our "tags" here (http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2240). Take a peek to see when you can expect to hit that "next level".

If you find yourself having any question at any time, please feel free to send any of your friendly Board Guides a message. If we don't know the answer to your question, we'll be happy to make something up.... er, find out for you. :)

Have a magical day!

Hi all! We are new to this site, and this is my first post.

Little background: my husband has been a Disney fan for ages, and when we met, I made fun of him for it! Then we went on a trip together, and I caught the bug...and we honeymooned there before moving out of the country (to New Zealand), because we didn't know when we'd be back.

Well - we went back just a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Now we realize what we thought would be true: we love where we live, and we love WDW, and those are pretty much the two places we want to be.

More than that, we are attached to the Wilderness Lodge (where we honeymooned), so we have finally decided to buy into DVC. Since some of the $$ we left in the US isn't attracting such a good interest % right now, and t
