ROFR Thread Oct to Dec 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Our 50pt CCV add-on from earlier this year wasn't enough points I was thinking of adding ~25 more points direct, but I just missed the window to get 2017 pts so went with a larger resale add-on instead.

We've been a long-time DVC user thanks to family, but this will be our first one ourselves. Today is day 33, so hoping to hear something very soon!!

Well, we're at 5.5 weeks (39 days) with no response from Disney according to our broker...

I feel like I'm going for a record for waiting for ROFR.

Has your broker said at what point they will look into what’s taking so long? I’d be getting worried that it wasn’t actually submitted or it was sent back due to an error and nobody realized it.

Good luck.

Are the 18 points already banked 2017 points? (Given the number 2019 points they almost have to be), so that means they must be used by 1/31/19. So I would view them as almost impossible to use by the time you pass rofr and close. I am not trying to question your deal or the contract. But given my guess at the state of the points; the 100 2018 points are banked from 2017, the 205 2019 points are 100 banked from 2018, 100 from 2019 and 5 borrowed from 2020, and the 95 2020 points remain in 2010. It is a very odd point position. I think many people who ultimately sell get frustrated with all the "rules" and never grasp how to best use points and always find themselves "wasting points".

I agree with Sleepy425. I'd give the broker a call and poke around. Most people seem to be getting a response within the 3-4 weeks.

I spotted the same thing re: the points. My guess would be that the sellers had a trip booked in their 2019 use year which required 305 points so they banked their 2018 points into ‘19, used their ‘19 points and borrowed 5 ‘20 points.
Not sure what they were going to do w/ the 100 points now in ‘18 as there’s little time to use them - perhaps their trip spanned use years or they were going to rent the points?

Oh, I've been poking around repeatedly. I've been mainly getting a "just be patient" response.

That being said, yesterday (day 39) I sent one that just basically said "Do you at least agree that this is abnormal that it is taking so long?" They wrote back and said that it was indeed not the norm (which I already knew, of course) and that they only received one waiver for all of last week -- and that they expected more soon.

Today (day 40), I got the email that Disney had finally waived ROFR! So, happy dance engaged! It just took longer than I expected.

Day 40 -- finally passed ROFR!

This is our first DVC purchase. (We've had family with DVC for years, so we've been able to partake quite a bit, but now we'll have our own!)

I feel like we did pretty well! Price per point is low. It is pre-loaded with 104 leftover 2018 points. And we didn't have to pay any 2018 maint! All good!

Thank you. Yes, you are correct in where the points lie. Assuming the contract goes through we likely won't get the 2018 points in time to use them. It is such a shame those points will be wasted, but the contract worked for us as we needed February use year as our other 2 contracts are February. And while I am not getting a steal I feel it is fair contract. Plus I look forward to using the points in 2019!

That is what I thought as well. But no idea why someone would leave 100 points hanging out there.
