ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

That’s interesting

that makes sense! When I asked the concierge team what’s the longest Disney has to make a decision (60 days?), I was told “they have until the closing date”.

Exactly. Disney choosing to affirmatively send an email saying "we decided to pass on this one, you guys are good to go" is just a courtesy to buyers and sellers. They don't have to tell us at all. They could just remain silent and we'd all be left guessing right up until our closing dates.

Does anyone have a tip on when I should push my seller to bank some points that I badly need banked? Our closing date is mid-July, but it's a December Use Year so there are a full slate of 300 points that I need banked by the end of July, and I won't have the contract in time to do it myself.

Currently under contract and waiting on ROFR.

My broker said it is easier to amend after it has gone through ROFR (once the process has already started that is). So, I would say have them bank the points as soon as it passes ROFR.

Now I’m questioning who decides on the arbitrary closing date? Ours is May 30!

Question, my bank (BoA) does not allow wire transfers over $1,000 (which I think is totally bazaar ). Before deciding to mail a cashiers check instead, what other options do I have for wire transfers? Any feedback on Western Union?

I was able to successfully submit the wire request online. I don’t know what the $1,000 limit I keep seeing is referring to, because they told me over the phone I should be good up to $2M!

Oh, I get reimbursed for any ATM fees too.

If you set closing 30 days out, Disney has 30 days. If you set closing 90 days out, Disney has 90 days.

This scares me since I chose a long closing.... they have 190 days!

i just had this happen to me today...apparently, my 150 june 2021 points were NOT banked like stated on our contract and they would have expired the end of may!!!!!!

with rofr taking a while to pass lately, i'd tell your broker to remind them to bank them now!

Question for all you helpful vets:

my use year is june. we were told that our 150 june 2021 points were banked and we were getting another 150 points in june 2022.

we got our points loaded today (yay!!!) and when i went to go book a trip for october 2022, it said i had no points available. i chatted with MS and she told me that our 2021 points hadn't been banked and we would have lost them at the end of may. fortunately, she banked them for us and now i see them under our june 2022 allotmtent.

here's my question - i SEE the 300 points under june 2022. but when i try to book a reservation on the website, it tells me i have no points available!

Not Enough Points​

You do not have enough points to book this reservation, even with banking or borrowing.

Return to Results to modify the date, Resort or room selection Or Proceed to view your contract(s).​

When I click "proceed" to view my contract, it then allows me to take the points from my contract.

does anyone know what that means??

Oh my. What a great day! First time and I passed! I’m honestly in disbelief, but am beyond excited.

Nope. Not an international seller! They must’ve missed the board when throwing the darts at my contract in the mysterious ROFR room.

1. That’s awesome! Congratulations!

2. This gives me hope. We sent a contract to ROFR on the same day so now I’m going to check my email about a million times an hour.

YEAH! Wow!!! Seems Disney may have slowed their roll on the buy-backs? Several of us are getting lucky to have squeaked through....

well after the recent blood bath, they should have enough inventory. and maybe less demand now that they raised the direct prices!!!

Well I don't want to be greedy so just wire me $1M that way there's no question if you can do it or not.

do you know where to go next now?? the closing thread!!

https://www.disboards.com/threads/closing-time-2021-and-2022-edition.3836891/page-74#post-63966094

this will give you an idea of what to expect next (hint, it's more waiting!!)

I just looked over my closing docs and it appears the sellers are from Japan! I didn’t even know I had one from an international seller. Makes more sense now.
