I know some don't like First American. They have been pretty good except taking almost 3 weeks to get us the closing paper work. However that time frame was told to us at the beginning so we planned for that. I guess if you don't want to wait the 3 weeks for closing docs request another title company.

Finally the deed is on the OCC!! We closed 6/6 and it finally appeared today 6/12. It seems as things go -- each step seems to take longer than most, or it at least feels that way. I'd imagine we'd see something online next week.

FINAL UPDATE!
Not too bad, under 2 months from offer to points in our account. Other than the ROFR wait, the hardest part was waiting for the points to post to our account. We are trying to book a trip, so I was checking every day.

We are existing members - same use year, new home resort.

I’m not sure if this is new, or it’s common, but we apparently received the estoppel the same time they passed on ROFR. Closing docs received the same day as well. Depending on when the seller signs, we have a decent shot at the contract showing up in our account within 30 days of making the offer.

I received my Activation Code this afternoon via email - I called member administration and they gave me my member number. I was then able to log on for the first time...this is exciting! Now we wait for the points to be loaded...we want to book a March 2020 trip and rent out the extra points that expire Feb 2020 ASAP.

I got my activation code and I called member services to get my member number, but they said they could not give it to me because the last four digits of my social security number were missing so they had no way to verify me. I'm a new member via resale. Has anyone had this happen or heard of it happening before?

First I called Member Administration (option 2) to get my member number. I needed my contract number (found on the signed agreement). They verified my name and address and wanted the sellers name. They did not ask for a social security number. But I am Canadian so maybe that is why.

They then transferred me to Member Services who used my member number to give me my club ID. They also gave me my activation code though I had already received it that afternoon.

THANK YOU! This was so helpful! I was able to get a member number following your directions, which allowed me to get more information without having to give my social security number. My points aren't loaded yet, but I'm having fun looking around on the website. We are also planning a March 2020 trip but to Saratoga Springs, and I'm just eager to get it booked! Thanks again!

That’s great! I’m having a lot of fun exploring the website too. Hopefully it’s not too long and both of our points is loaded soon.

I'm doing the same, looking about and playing with quotes etc. I thought the wait for the other things was bad but it seems even worse now haha. Especially as I'm within the time frame for my booking.
 
Yes, DVC Administration burning the Sunday oil.

Two and a half months for seller documents....I am so peeved 😠😡🤬


There are 33 points that expire 7/31/19....hoping I'll be able to book a late July weekend still if I EVER see these points. Hopefully when Disney loads them, they will bank them for me but as of now, can still book a July weekend at SSR or AKV

Does this mean once my deed shows up on the website I can call Disney with my contract number and get a member account set up?
