Oh no! So sorry! That is actually surprising to me, since I have been looking for BLT in Feb UY and hoping for a price around then. Time to look for stripped contracts (for us)...

And as @ScubaCat has said, our first time staying at BCV, DH wanted to sell the BLT points we'd just bought in order to buy BCV. I had to talk him off the ledge... I mean pirate ship water slide.

This is really crazy thinking back to the BLT contract I purchased just last year. Our BWV contract currently in ROFR is stripped until 2020 and I still worry the mouse may take it. We'll see....
 
Yay, passed ROFR, finally, so next question - chances of estoppel and closing before 31 Jan??? we will receive points that will expire 31 Jan - time to even rent those out? SSR? thoughts/input appreciated...

Ugh. We just sent an AKV Contract... was hoping to not have to wait that long. That’s a good deal if it passes!

Hopefully you don't have to wait as long as I have. Communication from the selling agent has been rather poor. I had to ask if I wanted to know anything like if my deposit check had been received and if the contract had been submitted for ROFR. Waiting for the full 30 days is bad enough and going beyond that is just cruel! I've seen people whose contracts were submitted after mine receiving news, so it has me wondering if Disney is not the one slowing this down. Since communication has been almost nonexistent, I've been checking the agency's Facebook page to see if they post that I've passed before I'm actually notified. Since the agent is posting pictures from Aulani, I guess I may be waiting until the end of her trip for any news.

I think it is possible. I would be contacting the broker and title co and asking if there's any way you can help move the process along as you'd like to try your best to see if you can get points in your account before 1/31. Even if you rent them as a reservation or just rent at a steep discount, at least you'd be getting some value for them. Priced right, you should get some takers...

After passing estoppel, or while you are waiting, ask the broker/title co what you can do to make closing happen as soon as possible. If you think there's a possibility the seller may be slow, ask if there's any way the title co would be willing to hold their signed documents in escrow so they'd only be waiting on you to close.* Just being a very polite and earnest pest may help move your contract along.

Then, as soon as you've closed, start calling DVC - same deal ... my first contract, I was already at around 9 months before I wanted to make a booking, and BLT standard rooms were already gone, or going. So I called around once a day, always very nicely and very politely, explaining the reason why I was sorry to be a pest ... I didn't get the letter telling me how to activate my account, etc. until after I'd already booked my trip online with the points that were already in my account. So it definitely helps to be the squeaky wheel when you have a real reason to be. and possibly losing out on 150 points is a HUGE reason to be a pest!


*One of my contracts, the seller was international, which meant they had to get documents notarized and complete extra forms, but I found out later that the real delay was because the seller had to come up with money to close, and not surprisingly, that took a while. :(

Check out the closing time thread. We passed 12/5. Closed 12/17 and the deed was recorded 12/18. So things are moving pretty quickly. Thankfully our sellers were quick to return the paperwork.
 
Yes...same with us! Passed ROFR on 12/5 and estoppel on the 11th and closed on the 17th and deed recorded on the 18th. I'm hoping the trend continues so we can have our points in time to book our next year's Thanksgiving trip at the start of the 11 month booking window ! Fingers crossed!!
Good luck thepak92!!

Good thing we'll have the extra points for the new 2020 point charts haha. Actually, we had decided we needed more points for getting 2BR on a regular basis :-)

So just update on this. I just got an email from dvc resale that this passed today. Now estoppel, which I gotta admit I have no idea what that is lol. But I’m assuming this is all good news, and I don’t run the risk of losing it? Anywhoo pretty stoked!

Your risk of losing it is drastically reduced once Disney passes over it. Now it really just becomes a waiting game for your relatively inevitable ownership (aside from the crazy and unforeseen things that can happen) . Estoppel and closing are more just making sure the property share is in good order (no reason it shouldn't be) and then getting the deed registered.

Awesome thanks so much for this info! Hoping to be able to use points for this in a trip in September (first couple weeks) with my family. Either two poly Studios, or a 2 bedroom elsewhere. The waiting game is tough lol. But my ROFR was like 3 weeks only. So I can’t complain.
