Our timeline (for various reasons) is crap. But whatever. We're here. We're almost at the finish line.

100 pt AKL DEC contract.

Offer Accepted: 4/13
ROFR: 4/20
Passed ROFR: 5/9
Closing docs: 6/9 (don't even get me started on that wait)
Return docs: 6/23 (surprise! You need a notary, who took that long to make sure the contract was correct. Ugh!)
Received close docs: 6/27
Closed and deed recorded: 6/28

Now we're waiting on Disney... but I can wait that out because we won't be booking a trip until 2019. This process was really drawn out and I did not enjoy it. But I got a killer deal, so I'd still go resale again.

So I called Member Admin/Accounting today 7/17. Disney doesn't even have our contract yet. Seriously??? She looked up the contract number and the sellers name and couldn't find it. I don't believe this CM was an ill informed one either. She told me to call my title company (First American) to find out why they haven't even sent it yet. So now I've left a voicemail for Cammy.

I'm so not impressed with First American at all. I've had to chase them for every little step. It took multiple phone calls to even get them to send my closing paperwork (hence why it took 30 days). We know we're buying more resale. But I am NOT using First American again. I heard good reviews about them. But it seems in the last few months they've dropped the ball for many of us on this forum.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I am having issues on mine as well. Mine has been a slow process on each step but I have been patient. My closing paperwork was reviewed and approved by the broker the week of 7/3 and they indicated that I should have it last week. I did not receive it and I let them know that late last week. I received word today that I would have it by 5PM Eastern today and did not receive it. I have let the broker know that. I am not impressed with First American either.

We are also still waiting...sent closing paperwork and cashiers check on 6/29 and First American hasn't replied to any of my emails in the last two weeks.

That is awful!
We are dealing with an associate of Cammy instead of Cammy.
I am not sure why... But when we emailed to check in with them today, her associate was quick to email back.

I am worried about the long wait...

If you all have First American and are still waiting, that's definitely no fun. :/ Remember there was a holiday and perhaps they are not staffed well for if someone takes a few days off.

Almost there! Our BW membership has loaded. It doesn't have points yet. I think someone said it usually takes 24 hours for the points to load. Can't wait to book our next trip.

I don't know how much longer I can wait! We have been waiting now 4 weeks and 1 day for the sellers to submit their closing documents!!! Up until this point, it has been smooth sailing.

I'm not in that boat.

But I am curious. How long would you wait for the seller to return docs, before asking out of contract (if closing date has passed).

Per the closing document instructions, all parties have until 7/31 to submit the closing documents. I have also already made the title company contact the sellers and they said they were on vacation (for 3 weeks...) and said they would have it submitted well before the end of the month. So I guess, 7/31 is my cut off. I am not sure if some of the delay is because the sellers are international?!?!

Congrats! Is this contract your first or an add-on? (Just wondering so I can estimate my own timeline for points!)

That's really quick! Congrats! Our offer was accepted 5/13. Our contract is listed online today! I'm hoping points will be there tomorrow, but our timeline would then be 68 days.

I just got an email from the title company. After three weeks the seller finally sent back the documents. However she said the warranty deed was executed incorrectly so they had to resend them the documents and wait for them to return them again. Does anyone have any idea what that means??? This has already been an almost three month process. I know I keep asking a lot of questions but this all just so stressful. I know a lot of you say that on the contract it says when both parties need to finish the documents but I can't find it on mine do you know where I can look?

First contract

So I called Member Admin/Accounting today 7/17. Disney doesn't even have our contract yet. Seriously??? She looked up the contract number and the sellers name and couldn't find it. I don't believe this CM was an ill informed one either. She told me to call my title company (First American) to find out why they haven't even sent it yet. So now I've left a voicemail for Cammy.

We know we're buying more resale. But I am NOT using First American again. I heard good reviews about them. But it seems in the last few months they've dropped the ball for many of us on this forum.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Update. I called First American yesterday and left a voicemail but heard nothing back. I emailed today based on people here saying email was a faster response. They emailed me back saying they got the confirmation from Disney yesterday. So clearly they forgot to send it and sent it yesterday. On her email it has a rate your experience link. They aren't going to like that. Literally every step I've had to email them and ask why it's taking so long and then magically somehow it gets done instantly.

This is our first of many resale purchases. Along with a small direct contract (for discounts). Next time I do this I'm dictating the title company because this one failed. So now I will wait another 10-14 days and call Disney and try again for our members number.

For those using First American, have you given the feedback to your broker? I'm waiting on ROFR right now, but I'm surprised my broker recommended them just a couple of weeks ago. It seems like they're overwhelmed, so I hope she's being made aware of the issues and not continuing to recommend them. :-(
