Closing Time!!

My brand new, shiny, DVC account showed up 8 days ago. I'm being ever so patient waiting for my points to load....honest. Whilst I was refreshing my account every two seconds patiently waiting, I explained 'addonitus' to my husband. He is not pleased with this concept 😬 Personally I blame you lot 😂

I appreciate live for humor brought about by crossed out words in posts :-). Here's praying hoping today is the magical day your points show up in your account! :-). I find it fun to discuss the ideal contract for Addonitis. AKA if X resort, X points, X use year for X$ popped open... how could we say no?!?
 
POINTS IN ACCOUNT!
My Final Tally!

TOTAL From offer accepted to points in account 123 days! Almost a month longer than I was originally hoping for, but almost all of that extra time was sellers waiting to return closing docs....
 
This is our first DVC contract so I am a little unsure of the terminology, does the below comment from an email I received today mean we are up to the ‘closed’ step and we are now waiting for the deed to be recorded?

Also to log into DVC page do they link it via you email address or is it some sort of ID number?

‘Disney has been notified of the change of ownership. Please allow Disney some time now to complete the transfer. The points can take up to 30 business days to show in your account upon completion of the transfer.

Disney will provide you a welcome letter by regular mail once the Transfer is completed.

The Owner’s Policy, Recorded Deed and Closing Reserve refund will be mailed to you within 1-2 business days.’

My first contract. So excited. I think the next 2 steps will be the longest wait ever.
 
So we have a direct contract account, but are waiting on resale contracts to close in different use years. People keep saying you will have a different log in for each. Can someone explain that? I have 1 email account, how am I going to have multiple “log ins”?

Your login to the member site should be the same. You’ll just have different membership numbers for each different use year. There will then be a drop down in each membership for each contract number within that membership. Clear as mud?
 


One final update...YAY!

Congratulations! Your deed usually shows on the comptrollers website within a couple of days of closing so now you’re waiting for two emails from Disney giving you your info needed to log into the DVC website. It will take a couple of weeks to receive them. Once that is complete then it’s another couple of weeks to receive your points. You’re almost there. Unfortunately you have a little more waiting.

A Tale of 2 Closings ! :earboy2:
79 Days is pretty good.
They both look like the ROFR process was about the same.
Seller was slower on OKW &
Deed Recording & Disney's action on points was significantly faster on the PVB contract.
It's always a crap-shoot.:goodvibes

Seeing as I followed your odyssey because it started about the same time as mine, I am glad you have all the points. I already made a rez for march at BWV! (I'll need an extra night or two on property - but I can either get a couple nights at a moderate or rent points...)

One of my favorite books! :) And, yes, always a crap-shoot!

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out what to do with the points. I have family members who still don't want to go all day in masks...so hoping Covid just disappears!
