Closing Time!!

I never expected to pass ROFR and receive the estoppel all in just a little over 3 weeks of making my offer. Now to transfer funds from one account to another.

We bought resale, got the activation code email. After waiting another 3 or 4 business days without receiving the welcome membership letter, I called member services. They would NOT help me on the phone. They told me to keep waiting for the letter. It was disappointing because we were going to WDW a couple days later and I wanted the electronic membership ID for access to top of the world lounge.
When we returned from our WDW trip, the membership letter had arrived. It was dated the same day as the activation email. But I could not set up the online DVC account that same day since Member services was closed. You need a “club ID” number in addition to the membership number and the activation code. So you still have to call member service.

We just got our welcome letter and I wasn't able to set up the account either. I unfortunately don't have time to call at the moment but it is a little irksome that the letter specifically says that you need your membership number to set up and mentions nothing about a club ID.

We had an excellent experience with Fidelity (Shawn Ray) and First American (Alice Bann). They were both very professional, responsive to questions, and proactively kept us notified of status and progress throughout the process. We were pleasantly surpised by how smoothly and quickly everything went, especially after waiting 32 days for each of our two previous attempts to be taken in ROFR. We are already planning our Disney vacations with our points. Best wishes and Pixie Dust to each of you, too!

Took forever for the USPS to deliver to the closing attorney. I reached out to the closing Attny to find out an update on the sellers paperwork. I was told they have an appointment with the notary -- so hopefully that means by early next week everything will be sent off to the county clerks office. We shall see.

Woot! Woot! My contract closed today! Just one month from offer to closing. And now the interminable wait for the contract to be added to my account and for the points to load.

So on the OC website I see the deed from the previous owner to me, is that what I'm looking for? Also I got the email with the code but called member services and told me they can do anything without my member/club ID.

Yep!
Also I got the email with the code but called member services and told me they can do anything without my member/club ID.
The member # will come in a letter in the mail, but you’ll still have to call for your club ID. I called about 2 weeks after closing/deed recorded and they gave me everything over the phone (chose Option 2, Member Administration). So maybe you can try calling again in a couple days.

Thanks, if I don't see the mail in my USPS email for the day I'll try calling the.
 
Adding on...we already own AKV with this UY, also via resales.
