All I want for Christmas . . .

[Brandie]

I made an offer on 100 pts at VGC through the Timeshare store. It's the right use year, but just a few less points than I was hoping for. I'll mail off my deposit tomorrow and then the waiting begins.

I may know by Christmas if those points are mine! And, that'll give me enough time to plan a Thanksgiving trip to DLR. :whoo:

[jilly7896]

That is so exciting!!! Fingers crossed!!

[Brandie]

Thanks, Jill!

There's probably a few of you who have gone through the process. I'll sign and fax paperwork today. I'm sending a check for 10% with the original paperwork in the mail. Now what?

[blyday]

So exciting!! Hoping you get it.

[mdsd8700]

Brandie that is so exciting! :RpS_thumbsup: What a awesome Christmas present that would be. I will keep my fingers crossed for some Pixie Dust. I would love to own 100-125 points at VGC someday. I just think it is the best DVC there is. Keep us informed of the progess!

[Brandie]

Sent in paperwork yesterday. At The Timeshare Store the contract shows as "Pending". I'll report if anything else comes up!

Does anyone have any idea how Disney makes decisions for ROFR?

I have no advice to offer on that one, maybe someone else knows more.

There is a great thread on the Dis where this is tracked on a regularly basis, of course it doesn't include every contract but does provide some solid information. For 2011these are the GCV contracts that have been ROFRd per Donald #1:


ROFR'D - VGC:
Breyean------- 250 VGC (Jun) $74, 62 '11 pts, all '12 pts, buyer pays closing, seller pays mf (sub 6/23, ROFR 7/14)
Homemom------- 160 VGC (Aug) $85, 78 banked '10 pts, 82 '12 pts, all '13 pts, buyer pays closing (sub 7/6, ROFR 8/1)
Raftislander----- 160 VGC (Jun) $85, 5 banked '10 pts, all '11 & '12 pts, buyer pays closing, seller pays mf (sub 10/3, ROFR 11/2) non-member
Breyean-------160 VGC (Jun) $80, all '11, '12 & '13 pts, buyer pays closing, seller pays mf (sub 10/27) Fidelity

Good Luck and keep us update as you go through the process!

[Brandie]

My contract was just sent to Disney for ROFR process. I've got up to 30 days to wait until I find out if it is mine!

[Canwegosoon]

Good luck!

I hope it is sooner than later!! Let us know when Disney passes on this contract :RpS_biggrin:

[Brandie]

Escrow company sent me paperwork. Now I have to decide if our tenancy is . . .

"Husband and Wife" or "Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship"

Huh???

I've got to look for my other two contracts and see which Disney chose when they filled out our paperwork for us.

LOL, I have no idea what any of our contracts say either. I think it says Husband and Wife, although I really consider the points mine and just bring along my husband and kids out of the goodness of my heart. :RpS_laugh:

[blyday]

I would look to see which one will make things the easiest should something happen (Heaven forbid) and one of you dies. I know....it sounds morbid but good planning can make things easier should it happen. For example, I know that have the word "or" on a car title verses "and" means that if your spouse dies, you don't have to provide a death certificate and have the name removed, etc because you can transfer the title without having the other spouse involved. I never used to think about these things until I worked at an auto auction and we got totaled cars. Situations where it said "and" where the driver was killed and the spouse is trying to get the insurance taken care of, etc turned into a HUGE mess and a long drawn out ordeal.

Now you've mentioned this.....I really should find out what ours says and make sure that we have it in a way that will make it easiest.

[Brandie]

The lady that helped me at the escrow company suggested that both of my VGC contracts should have the same wording, so I pulled out my current contract and it's officially "Husband and wife, as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and not as tenants in common". We're writing that in the "other" fill in the blank option. I think that "right of survivorship" part allows either one of us to have ownership in the event of a death.

I'll fax this on Monday and wait some more!

[wendycooper]

Brandie,
I just made it through ROFR and it took only a little over 2 weeks. I offered $70 for 180 BCV points. I think they are accepting most reasonable offers. Good luck. It is so exciting!!!

Yep....that right of survivorship sounds right!! And it does make sense to have the same wording on both contracts.

Congratulations, Wendy!

[Brandie]

Still waiting . . .

[annethomas]

I am thinking sister1 had joint tenant with survivorship with husband #1 on a condo and I am thinking before the divorce he sold his half.....I could be wrong but she was really MAD that I remember. I think the husband wife thing should be on there, husband #1 was a gold digging d____ bag.

[jilly7896]

the Time Share store just congratulated the 23 people that made it throgh ROFR on FB... I hope you were one of them! any word??

[atlgator]

How exciting...good luck!!

Wasn't me.
No word, yet.

[Brandie]

Still no word! I'm dyin' here!

[jilly7896]

Omg that would drive me nuts!!! Fingers crossed you hear something soon,

[Brandie]

[jilly7896]

Congrats!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

[mdsd8700]

Even though I am a little late, don't have much time to log on lately but Congratulations!! I was so happy to hear you got your VGC points. Enjoy!!

[Brandie]

Thanks, Sue!! They are mine, but I don't have access to them, yet. This just came in the mail today . . .

"To keep you apprised of your transaction referenced above, we are forwarding this correspondence to inform you that your closing has taken place. The executed Warranty Deed has been forwarded to the county in which the resort resides for recording. Typically the recording process is approxiamately 1-3 weeks for properties located in the state of Florida and 3-6 weeks for properties outside the state of Florida.

Once we have received the recorded deed from the county, we will forward the required documents to the resort so that they may complete the transfer on their records. This process may take up to 2 weeks. Once the resort has completed the transfer, you will be able to contact them and begin using your property as per the contracted usage."

I've still got a while before I can use those points! Two whole months, maybe. :RpS_unsure:

It will be a long two months I am sure! Still when you have them in your account, they are yours till 2060! I am green with envy :RpS_wink: I don't think any DVC will ever replace VGC in my heart. It truly is my favorite even though I have only stayed at 4 of the DVCs. Depending on which college my son choses we might be able to visit again next year....LOL! Let us know when it is offical!!

[blyday]

Well....at least you past ROFR so now it is just the red tape!! Congrats on getting the points and hope that things go through much more quickly then 2 months!!!

[Brandie]

I got notification in the mail today from DVC that my points are available to use! I logged on to verify. Woo hoo!

Now . . . what am I going to do with them?

SWEET! You are offical :RpS_thumbsup:

I think Josh would love to stay at VGC and then he can add some DLR info :RpS_wink:

[blyday]

Now . . . what am I going to do with them?

Nice!!! I'm really thinking that you, Karen and I need to have another trip there together (you know....job research!!) and Jill needs to come this time too!!!

I have to admit...I'm a bit jealous....one of these days we will own there!!

[jilly7896]

Nice!!! I'm really thinking that you, Karen and I need to have another trip there together (you know....job research!!) and Jill needs to come this time too!!!!

I'm so in. I'm not missing the next one!!! :)

[George]

I got notification in the mail today from DVC that my points are available to use! I logged on to verify. Woo hoo!

Now . . . what am I going to do with them?

So according to the dates of your posts, it only took from 1/27 to 2/3 to record the deed and get you on DVC's list? That wasn't too bad.

Could you reproduce the timeline from offer acceptance to being able to access DVC member services?

[nolarookie]

I got notification in the mail today from DVC that my points are available to use! I logged on to verify. Woo hoo!

Now . . . what am I going to do with them?

Time to add another vacation ticker to you signature!

Here you go George . . .

So, it took almost a month between notification of passing ROFR and notification that the points are available to use.

[Brandie]

I'm up for a trip! Who's coming with me? :woot:

[George]

Thanks, Brandie. I'm 10 days into ROFR. It's informative to see a recent timeline.

[mdsd8700]

I'm up for a trip! Who's coming with me? :woot:

Generous offer, you might not have enough points :RpS_wink:

[Canwegosoon]

Brandie-Congrats! I am sure you will put them to good use

[Brandie]

Thanks for the congrats!

Sue, I didn't get a single person to respond with an "I'm in" so it doesn't look like my points limit is a problem. :RpS_wink:

George, I believe that my ROFR took so much time because it was near the holidays. At the Timeshare Store, they were pretty sure that was the case. I suspect that if Disney waives that option that you will hear sooner than the 30 days they are allowed.

[blyday]

Thanks for the congrats!

Sue, I didn't get a single person to respond with an "I'm in" so it doesn't look like my points limit is a problem. :RpS_wink:


Oh....I missed that......I'm in!!!! (Although....I did mention above that we needed to plan that trip!!!)

[kbmoore]

ummm. I was out of town... I'm in too

[mdsd8700]

Thanks for the congrats!

Sue, I didn't get a single person to respond with an "I'm in" so it doesn't look like my points limit is a problem. :RpS_wink:



I thought people would be all over that! I would be happy just to be a fly on the wall :RpS_biggrin:

If by chance you are left with points to burn, I will assist in any way I can. :RpS_laugh:
