I’m checking my email multiple times a day for the email with the activation code. Thinking about booking a trip with my own points is a nice escape from reality.

UPDATED: Woo! We've finally closed!
Our seller didn't return the initial contract for 8 days, so I guess I should have expected them to take the same time to return closing docs... But now we're in the home stretch. Just need the deed to be recorded, the contract to show, and points to appear. I'm hopeful that I might get my points before my 11-month window opens on 5/13...

*Magic Vacation Title charged a $45 fee for a credit card payment for the down payment. They ALSO charged me a $20 fee for a wire transfer. This in addition to closing costs.

I had always used Mason Title in the past, and they never charged me an additional fee for either. DVC Resale Market said that I’d still be charged a fee if I had used Mason Title with them, so I don’t know if this means that DVC Store, Fidelity, and DVC Magic Resales (where I bought my prior resales) always ate the fee or if Mason did, but just FYI.

Congrats. Sounds like your journey was pretty similar to ours. We had our offer accepted on January 23 and just got points in our account on the 8th. It seemed like things slowed down at every step of the process right when we started buying. Slow ROFR, slow estoppel, slow membership activation. At least points in the account have sped up some. They told me 3-4 weeks last week when I activated my account.

Yes! It was torture! Lol so glad it’s done now

WOW - 80 Days in total! That's the path I'm on with Fidelity (me & badeacon)
Today is day 67, and still waiting for seller to return closing docs.
CONGRATS - I hope you got a good deal, and can use your points as planned!

Bit of a longer haul for sure. My delay had nothing to do with Mason though. It was all about the sellers returning the closing docs. Booked early December and March yesterday! Good luck to you!

badeacon - this morning I was told that my seller's documents were received, and everything was being submitted to the County Recording Office.
Have you gotten that same news?

This is our first contract and from everything that we have researched before this was that it was kind of a long drawn out process and we have had an amazing experience with things done quickly! Our sellers were super fast in responding and our brokers have been amazing (ours was out of office when we first started all of this but we had so much amazing help from others in that office!) and our title person has been great to getting everything quickly and responding to us quick also! Now just the waiting game with Disney (and this virus too!)! Our schools were just announced that we are not going back at all this year and the school districts have to figure out a game plan, so our school start year may end up changing for next year, so not sure when we are going to book our first trip yet.

badeacon -- any updates ??
I just received good news from Fidelity today - Closing Completed/Deed Recorded
AND the email stated there was a Closing Reserve Refund on its way, so I guess their estimates were a little high!

Fidelity estimated the last 2 steps could take from 14-24 business days (That's < 5 weeks)!
Has that been everyone's experience ?? I'm hoping for the short side of that estimate.
