ROFR Thread July to Sept 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Just found out that Disney waived ROFR on our contract.

Bryan Burmeister---$93-$21030-210-SSR-Oct-0/18, 0/19, 300/20, 210/21- sent 8/24, passed 9/24

I imagine this one just squeaked by, based on what else has been taken. Just goes to show that no one can predict Disney's process.



I'll just leave this here, to indicate how I imagine it goes......

A monkey eating random pieces of paper is actually exactly how I've imagined the process

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the monkey doesn't gobble up my pending SSR contract!

Today’s a good day foe a few things that passed at great prices. Congrats to all!

 

[CherryDB]

I PASSED!!!!!! OMG!! I’m now a DVC owner!! Is it crazy I’m actually crying?!?

Pharmgirl123---$86-$26865-280-SSR-Aug-0/19, 313/20, 280/21, 280/22- sent 8/27, passed 9/24

Congrats! And welcome home!

Actually ‘passing’ ROFR is got to first heading for second (closing), then it’s third (deed recorded), ending with the slide into the ‘welcome home’ part when membership is recognized.

 

[EM Lawrence]

It’s nice to see these large SSR contracts with great prices passing again!!

Guys, guys, guys, I am DYING over here to post an offer I got accepted because I am SO EXCITED at what I just signed, but I'm afraid to post it before I get the "it was sent to ROFR today" email from the Broker because I still cannot believe my luck and I keep waiting for the seller to change their minds, lol. BUT I WANT TO SHARE!! but I don't want to jinx myself, LOL.

I am so excited that my daughter and her family just heard today that they passed ROFR on their very first DVC contract at AKV Pretty fast decision in only 29 days Their broker told them they can expect to receive their closing documents in two weeks Now it is starting to feel real to them

But won't that just jinx me???

I think if the credit has been swiped, you are good to go!

All right, all right, I'll go format my links now. I made the offer on SUNDAY, called on Monday, got accepted on Tuesday, got documents on Wednesday, so I'm kind of dying that it's now Thursday and I don't have the "sent to ROFR" email yet, lol!

 

[ScubaCat]

! Is it crazy I’m actually crying?!?

I'm afraid so. By law, I have to report this.

hah just kidding. Welcome home!

[ABE4DISNEY]

So sorry about that! I hope you find another contract!

 

[DisneyNikki]

Congrats! And welcome home!

Awesome price. So happy for you

I AM SO EXCITED I'M BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!!!

Lorana---$195-$5812-27-VGC-Oct-0/19, 13/20, 27/21, 27/22-seller pays MF '20- sent 9/25*
Lorana---$195-$7,373-35-VGC-Oct-0/19, 0/20, 35/21, 35/22-seller pays MF '20- sent 9/25*
*expecting this to be sent tomorrow

I cannot believe I managed to snag two small Grand Californian contracts at $195/point!!! And the seller paying 2020 MFs!

Yes, it is fairly stripped till 2021, and it's an Oct UY (all my other contracts are Sep UY), but it's the PERFECT amount of points for me, giving me 3 nights Studio in the fall every year, 3 nights 1BR every other year, or 3 nights 2BR every 3rd year. As much as I'd prefer Sep UY, I don't intend to use it for anything other than VGC, so this is fine. And honestly once we are empty-nesters, if we rent one year (I figure I'll never have a problem renting VGC) and go the following, it'll pay for dues both years and half of our passes, so it's also perfect. I had been resigned that I either wouldn't own at VGC because I'd just never be willing to pay where prices are going (and by the time they fell, we wouldn't be looking to do DL so often), or that I'd pay far too much for it or end up with more points than we realistically need.

Aaaaand, now we can get our few nights a year at VGC *and* I complete my Peter Dominick trifecta of WL, AKL, and GC!!

EEEEEEE!!! Please let this pass!!!

I should have tagged you above @ABE4DISNEY but Grand Californian! I found my unicorn contract for VGC and I'm still pinching myself that I got them for $195/point.

Well, this one unicorn contract. ;-) Now that I have this one, the question is WHAT NEXT?? (Though DH as happy as he is says that my bidding on contracts privilege needs to be revoked for a while!) Maybe someday I'll just end up with small contracts at all of them, lol.
