Hello all!

This may have already been answered but I was wondering after closing, do you have to wait until you get a letter in the mail?

I'm just wondering when should I expect to get the new account with the points. Is there a number you can call at Disney to find out the status?

Thanks!
 
Wait to see when the contract is recorded at the orange county recorders office

Just search on your last name.
You used to have to wait 5-7 days for Disney to then record the transaction.
You could find this out by calling the 800 number above and choosing option 2 (Member Admin) and asking every day or two.
From another thread, I recently read you could call right away and email them a copy of the docs from the recorder site and they will create an account away. (not sure if this is true)
(they give you a member number and login in temp key for you to create your account)
Then it is usually another day or two for a different person to actually load the points onto the account. But at that point you can look at room availability and explore the site.



If you wait on the mail it is usually 3-5 weeks.
 
Once the Title is recorded, yo need your membership number and membership ID to set up your account.
The letter is supposed to come within about 2 weeks of the title being recorded. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
if you need the numbers right away to book a reservation, some people have had luck calling the DVC number with option 2 to get their membership number. It took me 3 calls before I got a person that would help (they are not supposed to give out that information from what i have read).
Then i called Member Services to get the Member ID. They were very helpful in setting up my online account.
Good Luck!
 


As a new member, you will receive a letter from Disney with your membership number and info needed to make a reservation. Disney is currently a little behind on transferring the membership and points so plan on as much as 2-3 weeks after your closing to receive the letter with your membership number.

Hope this helps...Congrats and Welcome Home!
