ROFR Thread January to March 2019 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[JereMary]

Disney exercised there ROFR on our SSR contract today, already submitted and got accepted another contract.

Kind of sad that we didn’t get in before the new guidelines

I'm sitting in that exact same boat. They announced the changes 2 days after we submitted our offer.

Sorry about that Mind Sharing the details?

It was a SSR 180 contract for 88 dollars a point. We figured Disney would take it, since the price was so low

Congrats! That's a great price! Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the ROFR room. Based on the latest ROFR reports I would have bet against anything @ BLT under $140 passing. Maybe the increase in the direct price drove down the demand? Could be that's what they intended with CCV getting near 100% sell-out and RIV coming into play? Just worthless speculation on my part...

My contract was accepted a couple days after I heard about the changes, and there were still some lower priced contracts out there. As I saw the prices go up, i kept getting more and more nervous! I think I was just one of the very lucky ones. Who knows what the reasoning is, it seems like it's highly variable!! When the new prices came out, I knew I would never be able to buy BLT direct.

On a different note, best of luck to those waiting, after my 27 days, I can't imagine still having to wait! I was SO on pins and needles as the ones around my date came in! Hang in there!

For those who lost their contracts, my heart breaks for you!! Looks like a lot of people are getting right back in there and finding another contract, hopefully this is an option for you!

a part of me was a bit umm salty the other day lol like why mine ? type of thing but then when we sat down to go over options and pros and cons my DH noticed BLT fit more with what i wanted plus my favorite park is MK so walking to it instead of trying to get on a monorail or boat is a big plus (plus we used to stay at the contemporary when i was a kid so memories there) . i think i wanted VGF bcs its an unfulfilled dream to stay there but then i realized wait i can always use my points there for a few nights if i want ( we travel in mid-late january) so now im just keeping every finger crossed that this one goes trough

I think you have a solid offer on your new BLT contract. The wildcard is always the UY, at least that seems to be what it is has been lately.

Also, GFV is at the bottom of my list because I'm afraid my son or husband would get something dirty LOL

Oh I would have been SO VERY depressed if mine got bought back! I was SO happy to see that you dove right back in...and I have to say, we just totally fell in love with Bay Lake Tower. We rented points for our wedding and honeymoon, staying at GFV and BLT. We liked GFV, but somehow BLT felt more like home. It's such a short walk over to the main building where there is so much, a much shorter walk than at GF to facilities. Then the walk to MK....or the buses at MK. The buses at the contemporary were pretty quick, and of course the monorail. I just hope that it works as well for you!

Ugh I really want to stay at GFV! The one thing I didn't like was that the monorail from GFV to MK was super busy at the time we went.. I was there on the first week of September when Disney is surprisingly emptier than normal, but we missed at least 6 monorails trying to get to MK because they were all jammed packed. Not sure if this was just a one time hiccup though. My friend is a direct DVC owner and we used her card to get into the top of the world lounge, and the views of the fireworks were spectacular! Congrats on the contract

thank you ! i drowned my sadness in some godiva ice cream then came home had the talk and made an offer after DH was like no no you want DVC so make an offer today i kind of wanted to just rent and forget it about it . i got lucky with him that he supports my love of Disney

 

[JBrad77301]

Grats to all that passed! Better luck next time for the ones taken.

I can totally understand- I am in same boat, on my second VGF offer and the last chance I have with the new restrictions. I check email like a crazy person- submitted on 1/16. I’m really nervous that it’s too low a price per point at $155- wondered even about calling with an addendum to raise it some but at this point it’s done I’m sure. I have been considering what I’ll do next too, I just feel like it will be taken. ALl the price points I can find accepted are $160 and above. Have my list though of what contracts will be next and def considered BLT! You cannot beat walking to MK! Best of luck on this next one!

We own at both and love both. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either. We’ll be staying at VGF this spring and BLT next year. I think BLT is underrated which is why we own so many points there too. Good luck with ROFR. I hope this one makes it through for you.

 

[JamesA1]

I think BLT is underrated

I have to agree especially after a five day no park trip. One of the few resorts with easy access to other resorts. So many places to just sit back and relax. The food options. TOTWL not only a nice place to watch the fireworks but a nice spot to watch the sunset.

Hold out hope! My $155 VGF contract passed this week. I truly believed it would have been taken at that price.
