On our first contract I found out at 3:30pm on a Wednesday that Disney had taken it. This was in April. 20 days was the turn around. This time we submitted July 26 and I'm already antsy that they will take this one too. This contract is alittle larger but the same price. Same resort (SSR). Over the years we've had 3 direct contracts but sold several years ago. Now we have our first grandchild and our daughter is already planning his first trip there so I guess we better get on it to have somewhere for him to stay. Her growing up going to the resorts is exactly what she wants for him. No offsite for this boy.
 
They take over as the buyer and assumes all terms in the contract agreed on between the seller and the original buyer.

wow -sounds like a win win for the seller not so much for the potential buyer
thanks for the reply

Yep. Disney gets the points back at a reduced price, the seller gets the money from the sale, the broker gets the commission, and what do we get...HEARTACHE! (Sorry, when I get worked up, the Barney Fife in me comes out). Basically we're doing Disney's legwork, prowling around for good contracts for them to take. Seems like there ought to be something in it for us.

reminds me of the old saying "the second mouse gets the cheese"

Yes, headaches, working for Disney for free (if I wanted to do volunteer work it wouldn't be for one of the richest corporations in the world) and international wire fees both ways when my deposit is returned!

Contract submitted 7/13 :sad2:

I know it sucks that they take contracts from time to time, but it's the main reason our contracts retain value(actually increase). Dvc is the only time share I know of that does this.

Marriott doesn't...I bought a week in aruba back in 2006. Its worth maybe 40% the original value now, whereas all of my dvc contracts have increased in value by 10% - 30%. So it's a necessary evil.
 
I personally don't care about the contract retaining value. It has an expiration date on it and I will keep it until it expires so the resale value doesn't matter to me. I'd rather just buy it at the best price possible and disney prevents that. Oh well, its their right...

First post and first resale! Nervous even though it’s fairly stripped, delayed closing until Jan. 4, and international seller.

Seller will pay dues on the 95 points used from 2019. I included my estimated dues in the total since I’ll have to pay 2019 at closing.

FIRST resale! researched rofr and as SSR is the biggest rofr that Disney takes, I am hoping that they wont touch this one. Have been reading all the posts and find everyone here super helpful!!!

Good luck to all!

we decided to try and take the plunge, we aren't dvc owners yet and this is our first try, wish us luck, I don't have super high hopes it will make it through

PASSED 8/13

Yay!!!! Almost DVC’ers now!
