ROFR Thread April to June 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Yep. There you go. Then again, we go in the fall so these are the only 2 UY that works. A small 100pt contract has been sent to Disney with the sept use year but now I'm concerned it is going to be much harder to add on in the future with a small point contract should I need. Oh well, think about that if/when I need it.

What is the disadvantage to Sept UY? If you add on at same resort points would be combined right? So why wouldn't you want August or October for add on which would theoretically give you 12 month booking power? I'm obviously asking because I am waiting on my first contract to clear and its a Sept UY.

the issue is that if you have to cancel you still want to be able to banks your points. If you usually travel in April then September UY works but August does not (no banking the last 4 months of a UY)

There is no disadvantage to any use year, it just depends when you go. I visit only in Oct and Nov so the Sept and Oct UY are the best for me. I can reschedule my trip or have the luxury of time before banking my points. Since I travel internationally, this is important to me. This year really showed me the value of my UY as we won't be able to leave the country in 2020 and I have banked my points into next year.

If you have a trip in August you have enough crazy nonsense on your plate especially in the next 48 hours between park reservations and possibly having to switch resorts.

Thankfully we are staying at AKL Kidani Village which is open. If I can’t get my park reservations this time around I am going to cancel and rebook when I get my points in.

Hi Everyone!

3ZrWe---$145-$15731-100-VGF-Aug-0/19, 151/20, 100/21- sent 6/22

First DVC contract (after debating Riveria direct several times) and SO happy to see some previous $145pp for VGF get through. Fingers crossed that continues and big congrats to all of you who passed ROFR after such a long wait!!

Has anyone ever taken the ROFR data over a few years and plotted it on a chart by resort? I don't have the Excel skills to do this, but it would sure be interesting to see this visually over a few years.

For those of you who have called to check on the status of your ROFR, who did you actually contact, your sales agent or your closing company? I’m at 31 days, and I know it is taking longer than that right now, but I’m going to call if I have not heard by the end of the week just to check.

I contacted both, and the closing company informed me it was the Sales agent’s job to inquire about ROFR.

Wonder if buybacks are going to start back up with the new special offers for direct purchases for older resorts? Hopefully they wait until we pass ROFR..

Same here; 40 days in the 🕳... hopefully they’ll throw in 10% off.

Buybacks will be a rare event til Spring 2021...

Is Disney sitting on that much inventory that they have to have the give the offers to try to entice more purchases?

It’s always possible, but if I had to guess I’d say they are selling off inventory they already own. Otherwise, I would think they would offer discounts across the board and not just on certain resorts.

Day 33 for me!

Hi lcurr77, do you happen to know what the special offers for direct purchases are at AKL? We are looking for Sept UY and an add-on contract around 75-100 points.

August still works just fine. If you don't know by the end of March that you can't make your April trip then you're going to be in holding anyway.
