I signed a contract the final week of the promotion (after valiantly fighting addonitis all summer, well, a couple weeks after adding points in early summer…anyway…) and while I put down a 10% deposit in September, I *just* made the first of 3 equal remaining payments and won’t make the last one until early December. I think we’ll probably see strong sales for VGF in Oct and Nov, and maybe even December, that were all inked in Aug/Sept…and I think I read that you might even be able to sign contracts prepared a month earlier under the old deal? Maybe they weren’t keeping track of us delayed pay/closers carefully enough and suddenly realized they were approaching oversold—perhaps that’s why they are ROFRing?
Or perhaps more people in October decided that the $161 for VGF that they were on the fence about looked pretty good after all, especially with Disney ROFRing contracts in the $140 range?
FWIW, we loved the location and design of our BPK studio and I don’t see us staying in 1bed or 2bed at VGF ever. We’re not the type to spend much time in the room when we travel to Disney World.
