6/28 Offer sent and accepted
6/29 Sent to Disney for ROFR
7/18 passed ROFR
7/19 Closing Docs received (The DAY AFTER ROFR!!!)
7/20 Closing Docs/Funds Returned
7/25 Email from ***, and call from DVC Resale Market to confirm that it has closed. (27 days from offer to close, including the July 4th holiday!!)
?/?? on Comptroller website
?/?? New account number obtained (this is a new use year for us)
That is awesome!!!
 
I caved and called today (closed 7/14, deed recording 7/17- first resale contract) CM said I wasn't showing in the system yet and won't be until the letter is mailed out :(
I would wait a few more days and call back. You will have a number before you receive your welcome letter.

Awesome! Congrats! We used the same companies and we were 29 days from offer to close. The deed was on the comptroller website the day after close. We are just waiting for our member number. I am so impatient now though. ;-)

Nice. The deed just showed up on the comptroller website, about 2 hours after I was notified of the close. I think the waiting from now until the member number arrives is the hardest part!

I broke down and called! I got my member number and activation code. 11 days after the deed was recorded. Good luck!
 


For those of you new to the closing game wait - remember the normal member services option on the phone tree won't work - those are the wonderful CMs that are oh so helpful when you are using your points to reserve villas and the like, but they aren't very up on the nuts and bolts of adding membership timelines. You need to choose option 3 (I think) for member administration and even then if those lines are busy you'll get routed to a member services CM. The usual advice is that unless you have a 7 or 11 month deadline you need your new points for ASAP, waiting a couple of days extra is no big deal, easy to say when you aren't the one anxiously waiting :)

Opt 2 opt 2 worked for me

Maybe it was option 2 (I was buying contract #2 back in April & the options had changed from a couple of years ago when I was buying our first contract)- & there's a second option to be made too, I just know it's not option 1 :smooth:

I was looking at the DVC site yesterday from a "new user" standpoint. It looks like anyone could set up a sign on. So as a new owner, do you set up the sign on and then use the member number and activation code somewhere on the dashboard to link your newly purchased membership to your account? I'm about a week behind you.

Just noticed I can sign in with my existing Disney (MDE) credentials and then get to the "are you a member?" Page. Cool. So will my wife and I each be able to sign on with our own credentials and use the same member number and activation code?

I believe that my husband and I each had our own codes.
 
Yeah I will try again on Thursday! So antsy!
I closed on the 17th as well and called today to check in since I am already a member and figured they have to at least talk to me. I was told they are working on the 13th as of today and probably won't get to the 17th until next week. You may want to wait until Monday or Tuesday to talk to MA
