Day 27. I'm assuming my contract will be taken. Hoping to hear soon because there's another contract out there that I'm interested in. I'd like to be able to get the ball rolling again ASAP.

Same here, I check to see if it’s there every day! lol It’s horrible how they drag it out like this.

I think that's the worst part. I have no idea why it takes so long when they decide to buy it back. We went through that twice before finally passing on our third try. Good luck to you!

There's actually 2 that I'm interested in. Same amount of points but one is $9 more per point. I'm almost tempted to go for that one since it might have a better chance of passing. The other one is only $5 more per point that the contract I'm waiting on. Decisions, decisions...

It's probably to torture us and drive us towards buying direct. I won't do it, nope. I do plan on adding on direct (75 points) but I want to start off with more points so I can book a trip for next Feb.

It's day 33...I emailed our broker on Saturday morning, so I am hoping to hear something today. It seems like a lot of people are waiting to hear about their SSR contract. What is this flexible use year thing that some people are mentioning?

Disney changed the game again - essentially they can buy back one use year and resell it as a different use year. So if someone is waiting on a direct wait list for a June, they can buy an April and change it to June.

I HATE disney. They took our contract. And they took so damn long I've missed out on better contracts.

Oh no. I’m sorry to hear this. I’ll assume I’m doomed. Hopefully the rest of us waiting on SSR will be put out of our misery today.

Yep. They're going to take ours too. I'm not putting in another offer. Makes me sad.

We are there with you...hoping for good news for you and for us! The wait is excruciating, isn't it?! Sending Pixie Dust and positive energy your way!!

Our ROFR started on 2/25 for BCV. It was a great contract so I am worried they are taking it, especially with the long wait. This is our 2nd try....We lost a basically stripped BCV contract (pre-restrictions) last month after a long wait (i think it was 32 days). We made our offer on this one on 2/15 at full asking price but asked for the 2018 points to be banked. That took a little while so we received the contract via docusign on 2/20 and returned the signed contract and deposit immediately.

Not sure if my DH wants to try for a 3rd time. We recently purchased some direct PVB points so he suggested that maybe we will just stick with that if this one doesn't go through. Hoping to hear soon. Fingers crossed for good news!!

This is so stressful! To the point that we are almost considering buying direct. But I know that is what they want and that we should stay strong and try again. I just wish there was some way to track where the contract is in the process with Disney so it doesn't feel so nebulous.

For those that used DVC Resale, were you notified (either way) by email or phone call? Thanks!

Oh no....I'm still putting out positive vibes for all of us at SSR!

Email from DVCRM on my two that passed. When my contracts were taken, it depended on the broker whether I got an email or phone call.

Sorry!!! I always try to stay positive, but after waiting 34 days last month for SSR, It’s hard to have high hopes. I feel like if it’s going to pass, it will be quick. I hope I am wrong, believe me, the waiting is terrible. I really don’t feel like going through another month of this, but I will most likely keep trying.

We're waiting to hear on SSR too. That stinks! Though I'm sure the right contract will come along. We're looking to book a Feb vacation, though not at our home resort. 2BDR so I have a little time until the July 7 month window. I know it gets tight but hoping we can get in before then.

I’m so sorry. I’ve been there. One will get through. Just keep offering what you think is fair. Once they finish clearing their backlogged wait lists, I bet a lot more will make it through.

I think the fact that NO ONE has heard on SSR for over a week means they aren't taking them ALL.

One has to pass eventually! They can't take them all. I'm hoping tomorrow is another round of good news!
