ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I think it might be too great of a price. I'm worried Disney will exercise ROFR. We shall see.

Fingers crossed.

Agreed its been colder and busier. We were there in July 2021 and it WAS HOT and crowded. January 2022 was cold and crowded. We thought about Oct or early Dec but opted to stick with Jan one last time lol

Those are the two times we were down at WDW- I totally agree. We did our vow renewal at Epcot at 9 am in July and were sweltering. January was still pretty crowded but at least it was bearable to walk around for most of the day. January is still a safe bet I think (college age brother can help watch the kids while my husband and I enjoy WDW), crowds may be busy but not massive wall-to-wall, and the points are low.

To all those who are waiting for that ROFR monster to make his/her decision, take heart Resale and that agonizing wait just got a whole lot easier to swallow Disney has stopped giving those nice DVC backpacks as a welcome gift and instead they will be giving PopSockets We thought those backpacks were expensive but how would you feel about buying a $30,000 PopSocket

Glad I got the backpack... that would make me crazy.

What was the backpack like? Was it a drawstring one?

Nicer than a drawstring one- it has zippers and a couple of pockets. Small to medium sized canvas.
I've never taken it from the house because it was a lot more expensive than my loungeflys!

super jealous!!

The quality of the backpack is shoddy. One of my main zippers falls off and I find myself aggravatingly trying to put it back all the time. It's also too small. It's like a cheap male version of a lounge-fly.

I've got 4 of them. Plenty of spares...if I can remember where I put them.

I am so sorry. You have the patience of a saint to keep at it.

This is actually 2 contracts (250 and 300 points) from same seller combined into one sale reducing closing costs. Probably a good candidate to be taken.

Ouch

Too good of a price.☹

Where to next.......

Was going to hold out for a subsidized contract but they're so hard to find with the same use year.

Interesting e-mail this morning-I'm sure I have seen a couple taken over the years

"ROFR got you down? Why not avoid it altogether with one of these great foreign owned contracts?! (Psst...we've never seen contracts owned by foreign nationals get ROFRd.)

The peace of mind knowing you'll pass ROFR is a pretty magical feeling!"

Interesting. I should be finding out this week if Disney wants the SSR contract I'm waiting on. It's a foreign seller, but I'm still worried since two SSR were bought back yesterday at $128 and $136.

Oh no. This does not give me hope for my $119 SSR that I'm waiting on. Yikes!

Price increases are likely on the horizon with them buying SSR back at these levels.

i keep reading how the buyback rate has been like 10-15% but based on the passes and takens on this board, it feels more like 50%!!
