ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Me!

David K.---$104-$24537-220-AKV-Mar-0/17, 152/18, 220/19-International seller- sent 5/14, passed 5/31

Always nice to pass quickly. I passed a while back with an international seller as well. I have been patiently waiting for them to return all the paperwork. They need to submit a form to withhold potential taxes and this can delay the process. The anxious wait is over, now the second wait begins. Good luck and I hope it moves quickly.

First of two - actually this was the second contract so I was a tad aggressive yet seller agreed.

Still waiting for seller to sign first contract:

Dan1---$105-$22412-200-AKV-Oct-0/16, 9/17, 200/18, 200/19-Seller pays closing- sent 5/31

Hopefully one of these passes the Mouse

Anyone noticing “estoppel” taking a long time? Passed ROFR on 5/23, talked to title company yesterday and she said it’s still in estoppel. Pass one step wait.......pass step two wait......pass step three wait...... I know patience is the key here but, dang.

The whole process takes forever... My deed was recorded 5/17 and still no email 16 days later. It's a game of patience. At least we all saved big money over direct.

disfoodie---$100-$21138-200-AKV-Feb-0/17, 72/18, 200/19, 200/20- sent 5/14, passed 5/31

So I tend to be a lurker on this board, but the few times I have asked questions everyone has been so helpful. Thank you for that! This was our first time making it to ROFR (first time seller pulled out) and with all the offers being taken at AKV I was for sure Disney would take it. Still shocked it went through. Now in the home stretch of being a first time DVC owner!!!

Congratulations!

Have you called MS?

I called last week on Friday. They didn't have my deed in their system yet but told me to call this last week. Work, kids and the end of school killed my free time. Maybe I should call today...

I passed that day too, and I’ve heard crickets...

Likely vacations going on. Seems to be happening most places I'm dealing with!

Well I called member services twice and talked to 2 nice DVC ppl. They had me in the system but couldnt verify 1 last piece of information since the other department is closed on the weekend. They said to call back Monday and they can get everything setup. Ughhh so close but yet so far.

It’s really been amateur hour at DVD lately. Things are taking almost 3 weeks to pass, points going into your account are taking a while, estoppel is taking forever, etc. It isn’t being run like a business at all. Resale is still a large part of the DVC business, but it is treated as an afterthought unfortunately. I understand that they aren’t the ones selling, but it is still a part of the business and should be treated as such IMO.

Sounds like a good way to run a business to try and force people to buy direct

Is there a thread for resale prices at PVB. Thinking of purchasing at the Poly. Thanks

That could be part of it, but my hunch is that DVD considers it overhead, not a profit center, so they minimally staff that part of the business. There could literally be one or two people handling the contract transfers, estoppel, etc. And they know you'll wait because what's the alternative?

I know, but it puts them in a bad light for a company that’s supposed to be all about magic and smiles. Yes, I know it’s still a big evil corporation that hides behind a smiling mouse, but it is in such poor form to do this stuff.

Have you been to Tony's Town Square or ridden on an unairconditioned monorail lately? Trust me, resale delays are the least of their issues.
