ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[TexasChick123]

It isn’t uncommon for Disney to begin the ROFR review well after your broker sends it to them. I had one that where my broker didn’t get that email for 14 days without any resubmissions, issues, etc. Who knows what’s going on over there. The submission date is not the date Disney uses to start the 30 day clock which has been verified by multiple brokers. The date they use is when they “accept it”/“put it under ROFR review” which is several days after submission. I have no idea why they’re so backed up, but they are. Maybe the drunken monkey went on vacation and no one filled in while he was gone. It’s honestly no way to run a business, but we are at their mercy nonetheless.

Let me translate that for you: "We dropped the ball and forgot to send it over due to one of many potential factors, which may include it being lost on my messy desk or yahoo mail inbox, laziness, disorganization, recovering from the after-effects of dinner at Tony's town Square, or just outright incompetence. Having suddenly realized the oversight, I just now sent it over and will invoke my usual process of blaming the ROFR department. Thank you for your patience."

I actually emailed my broker yesterday and inquired if she had received an email from DVC as to when my contract actually started the ROFR process after reading about one of these contracts that took 10-12 days before it ever started ROFR. Her response to me was: "DVC is supposed to start on the day received, 4/27..."

So here I sit on day 19 with a bunch of my fellow 4/27 waitees.

Well, hope was waning because ROFR was taking so long and rightfully so it seems as Disney just took our contract. That's two 270 point contracts at OKW in a row. Time to change it up.

JV63---$82-$22765-270-OKW-Oct-0/16, 0/17, 0/18, 270/19- sent 4/19, taken 5/16

On to the next with a different resort. Going with our other favorite, BCV. Just have to find one we like.

I guess I will use the second date, which means I am only on day 6 instead of 16. Boo!

Thanks!

Bummer. Better luck with BCV

I was just reviewing my e-mails from my broker, etc. On 4/30, our offer was accepted, and the contract was sent to Disney that same day. So mentally, I started the 30 day clock that day, which would put me on day 16 today. However on 5/11, we got a message from our broker saying that "they received a message from Disney that Disney had just begun the ROFR process," which would only put me on day 6. UGH!

That a REALLY long time to sit on it

This is true.. I always heard it took them 3-4 days. I think something happened back in the end of April when there was crickets for a week when no one heard anything. I think it’s a trickle effect from then.. vacation, backup, whatever.

Looks like things would start picking up. I hope we start hearing from people on this thread that have heard one way or another on ROFR so at least we have some news (obviously a bunch of passes would be ideal). It feels like we've gone forever with very little being passed or taken the past two weeks.

 

[TexasChick123]

I've found that the more time that goes by between my contract being submitted and finding out about ROFR, the less I care. If it does pass, I am less than excited as it sucks all the excitement out of it with such a long, drawn out process. I'll just hear one way or another, but I'm not stressing about it. The more time DVD takes to let me know, the more time I have to hang onto my money.

Awesome find. Good luck in ROFR and I hope you pass quickly!!!

 

[Whositsgalore]

Since I know I have a while to wait (submitted on 5/3, accepted by Disney 5/14) I'm anxious for all you 4/27 folks. I can hardly wait for all of yours to start rolling in, with GOOD news of course.

I think that was mine I thought we were in ROFR for 12 days....I was sadly mistaken. Now here I sit on day 3 Who is your broker? Maybe she is counting the day received the day Disney "accepted it" which would be correct. I still think Disney sends some kind of notification to the brokers letting them know they are starting the 30 day ROFR process. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[TexasChick123]

Great contract what broker did you go through?

I can answer this as I saw this contract when it came up. I was bored that day. :/ It was listed with Vacatia.

Never mind. Similar contract with Vacatia. Ignore me on this one. @NewbieMom, whoops.

 

[NewYorkMom]

Anyone else waiting on ROFR and already wanting to buy more points?

Yup! We now have 2 going (AKV and BLT)

 

[NewbieMom]

This is with Magic. It's not even listed. As luck would have it, I was following up on my AKV contract and mentioned I'd be interested in adding a BLT contract. She had this one just come in, and the sellers haven't even completed the paperwork. But to "claim" it, she had me sign the purchase agreement last week and I just got confirmation yesterday that sellers signed the sales agreement. Today, they said it was sent to Disney for ROFR.

 

[NewbieMom]

Me too! AKV (5/7) and BLT (5/16).
