This is my second resale purchase in a little over a year. We bought VGC direct in 2008/9 and then a VGC add-on last January that spoiled me with how fast the process was. We decided to do the add-on at BLT mostly for RunDisney events which I discovered last year :) I'm hoping the points get in their quickly as 88 expire at the end of May. The long wait for the closing docs was painful, and of course we were out of the country when they came, which is why it took us almost a week to get them back. The seller took even longer due to the notary requirement (they both worked). Overall very smooth process so far, but of course took longer than I hoped. I'm sure most people say that :)

Updating and editing above--contract appeared in my account this morning and points were available to book this afternoon. I just made three reservations in about 5 seconds flat, LOL! I still have about 50 points that need to be used by May, but I'm going to waitlist a better view for my April stay and see if it opens up.

My deed recorded 3/7, and while I'm not in any hurry to book a trip, I did want to get onto the waitlist to buy add on points at BLT. Since this is my first DVC contract, aside from waiting for my welcome letter, I figured I have no way of knowing whether my account had been established yet since I didnt want to play Member Administration phone roulette. I was resigned to waiting for the letter when I thought to myself today: why not try calling the sales line and see what happens? Not that the CMs were rude before but their tone was definitely different this time. I was greeted with a "welcome home Sir," and the lady confirmed an email address that I had only given my resale broker, not Disney. I thought that was pretty neat. Also I was able to get on the waitlist. I didn't try to push for my membership number or anything, so not sure the guides will give you that, but it's nice to know I'm in the system.

Finally complete! Communication with our broker/title company was lacking. Couldn't tell who was giving us the correct information throughout the process. Title company told us everything was sent off to Disney on March 7th. I finally called MA on the 14th and was told they had just received docs the day before. I saw account created on the 21st, but with no points. Was about to call MA again today, but thankfully I finally see our points loaded in the account.

This is my first DVC contract, so the last date is the date on my welcome letter. I didn't receive my welcome letter until yesterday (3/26). I called this morning and setup my account in about 10 minutes. For everyone that's waiting hang in there, I couldn't even imagine writing this post a month ago!

Do you get an email so they let you know they got the sellers' paperwork or you have to wait in the dark?

I did not get an email regarding the sellers documents with either of my transactions with FA. Most recently I emailed asking for an update as I saw folks posting here with similar purchase and ROFR dates having closed almost two weeks prior. Their response was that we would close within a few days and that our seller had needed to redo the warranty deed. FA is not known for unsolicited updates.
