Congrats!!!
I’m so envious, though, because my deed was recorded on 4/21 but my contract isn’t even showing on my account yet. :-(
My birthday was yesterday, too, so I was hoping for a gift this weekend, lol!

Points in my account:

90 Days as of 5/9/20 - and now I continue to check-in at the DVC site Morning/Noon/Night - waiting for the points to appear. I have until 6/1 for the 7 Month Mark for our Jan 2021 trip, so I should be fine getting what I want with these new points.

You and I have been in the same boat this entire process. Both bought SSR around the same time, closed and recorded a day after you and still nothing for us either. Worth noting we are new members however.

Oh, and ironically ALSO planning a January trip lol.

Keep checking the site, Nappy1380.
I was surprised to see the last step post on Sunday afternoon of Mother's Day. I was checking 3 times per day, every day
Let me know when they post, and when you get your ressie in for January.
We now have 2 weeks at SSR-STU-Std, and 2 weeks (15N) at SSR-STU-P so, assuming the restrictions have been lifted by then, we will be in WDW all of January. We'll look for you there !

I just got an email from DVC informing me that they had completed transferring a resale contract into my existing membership and that it would now be appearing in my account. It also said to expect points to appear in 7-10 days.

This is the first time I've received an email (this is my 4th resale contract). Has anyone else gotten one before? I logged into my account and confirmed the contract is appearing! Almost there!

I closed on 4/24 but I went on the comptroller website and counted.....there are 106 deeds to go through between 4/21-mine on 4/24. I wonder how long each one takes to enter?! There were over 40 on 4/21........it was a busy day for closing on DVC resales!!!

 

[Lorana]

Yeah, I have a problem...

Ooof. 81 days. My deed was recorded 4/21, so hopefully we’ll both be through this soon. At least I know when you get your points, mine should be soon following!

At least I’m trying to book AKL Grand Villas, so hopefully they won’t all go right at the 11 month mark?

Availability for AKL Grand Villas depends on the time of year with the cheaper point costs times being harder and depending on the booking window 7/11 months.

I'm confused by this. What does this mean? If your deed shows up recorded, it recorded right?

It was recorded by Orange County......still hasn't been processed by Disney and added to my account.

 

[Deswank]

Did you get the closing docs from *** yet? I have also been waiting since 4/21. They are working very slowly...

Heard back from you know who today, said I would having closing documents this week!

Points in account:

77 days so far. I had finally received email on 4/21 saying seller had returned closing documents after my contacting them several times. Was told would be notified of closing. Have not received any further information but went on Orange County site and found had been recorded.
As one can see, multiple times of delays in this process for me. 10 days to send to ROFR, 31 days to receive closing documents and 15 days for seller to return closing documents.

Be sure to tell us when your contract shows up in membership, I'm a day behind you!!!!

Hey I just got mine today! Yours should be coming soon

 

[FireworksEverAfter]

@badeacon We'll probably be at the same time. It's crazy how close everything is with ours.

 

[justadreamaway77]

@Nappy1380 did yours get transferred by Disney yet?

 

[Amanda Sam]

It’s funny you say that. We were watching that and noticed the deed was officially in our name three days before First American actually notified us that it officially closed.

This was exactly our experience with first American, too! Our deed recorded 5/5 but they didn’t tell us we closed until last Thursday (so 2 instead of 3, but still...)

Yuup - I got that email from DVC on my recent resale purchase.
It took DVC 17 calendar days to have the account show up, after the Deed was recorded, but only another 3 calendar days for the points to be available. My offer was made on 2/9, so I had an even longer experience than you.

@Nappy1380 did yours get transferred by Disney yet?

They did not. We received out membership info and were able to log in, however it advised 7-10 business days before the points would be transferred over. We called to confirm the timeline with staffing being low and were advised the time frame was accurate. I'll post as soon as they show up!

 

[FireworksEverAfter]

Day 19 since recording and still no member number. This process (our first contract) has been excruciatingly long. My offer was submitted and accepted on 2/7. 95 Days total so far, just to get access to the portal!
