Closing Time!!

When you got your ROFR Waiver, did you receive any actual paperwork from the Broker? I didn't get anything other than an email. There are reports that the ROFR Waiver wording changed on August 11th, 2020 and I want to know what it says... I emailed my broker but they haven't responded yet. My ROFR was on 8/24/2020, so I would fall under the new ROFR wording I assume.
 
Did you get a notification of some kind that closing was processed?

You will typically hear from the title company agent handling your account. You may still be waiting for sellers to return their closing docs which can take weeks. Feel free to reach out to the title company to see what’s going on, and then if you have a Florida resort, you can check for deed closing at:

Yeah I posted that on DVCFan on FB :) That is why I want to see my ROFR Waiver paperwork, I passed on 8/24/20, so I would be included in the "new wording". I posted it here on disboards too in the rumor forum with all of the details I have currently.

I’m a 24th August ROFR ‘passer’ too. It’s all very interesting!!

Is this the wording that has changed?

My waiver paperwork states:
“Resale contracts purchased for the existing 16 Disney Vacation Club Resorts will only be able to exchange Points into those 16 Disney Vacation Club Resorts.”

The documents I signed on offer state:
“Resale contracts purchased for the existing 14 Disney Vacation Club Resorts will only be able to exchange Points into those 14 Resorts.”

I just got my waiver paperwork, and the wording you posted is the change. 16 resorts instead of 14. What are the extra 2 resorts? I am assuming Riviera is one ... it specifically says not reflections. Could the DVC Tower in California be the other? I don't actually know.

It’s AKVK and AKVJ split as two resorts

@Lorana, how many do you have left?
I know, I know, I have a problem! We just picked up some good small contracts when we were able to get some good deals. Honestly, if the VGCs had come along sooner, I would not have picked up that 50-point SSR and 50-point HHI!

I have (embarrassed to say) 5 currently in the works right now. 2 small CCV contracts that have closed; one just showed up in my account today and the other still not in my account. And then the SSR, HHI, and VGC (the VGC is 2 contracts, but they were submitted together under one contract in order to bundle closing costs so I didn't need to pay closing twice). I did debate whether it was worth losing my deposits to back out of the SSR and HHI and we decided no for now, that we'd rather take them and the decide if we want to flip all our SSR and HHI in a couple of years.

I’m just waiting on the points to load so I can start booking our first DVC stay. I was expecting at least another week for the transfer to finish but I just got both emails from Disney this afternoon within minutes of each other with my ID and my activation code.

Could someone give me a general timeline of what all my next steps will be? I returned my closing documents and wired my money last Wednesday and they confirmed that they received. What are all my next steps that I will be waiting for and will they update me with each one? What has been the general timeframe currently. Thanks!
Next steps - look at the post immediately above yours - and see all the key steps formatted. I've seen resale go through all of those steps in less than 60 days, and I've seen it take longer than 90 days, but I would use 90 as a heuristic.
Here - I cut/pasted from another post. You can copy & fill in the blanks.......

Ooh you're a brand new DVC member? I am too so it's exciting to see a deed date of September 10th - mine was recorded September 11th. I won't be refreshing my emails all day though.... honest.... 😉
