We also have an akl contract pending, but its an international seller, so far they have had my closing docs for 3 weeks nothing back from the sellers yet, but it is supposed to be in the mail now. Fingers crossed for a closing this week.

Still waiting for points to actually be loaded in though... I was going to wait to update, but I thought my contract appearance date might help others estimate their wait. I was/am already a DVC owner.

Points showed up late in the day in my account. Looks like today was a "load points into accounts" kind of day for DVC. YAY!!! Finally this is over.

Days from offer made to points in account: 84
Days from sent to ROFR to points in account: 76

Sure - go here: http://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/docSearch.jsp and search your name (last name, first name) in the 'either party' field is how I did it.

Just checked and it's there! Thanks again!

I have a feeling your deed is on the OC site now. That part of the process moved really quickly for us. Here's the link someone shared with me. http://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/docSearch.jsp

Closing: Mar 26/19
Deed recorded: Mar 27/19
Contract visible: April 3/19 *
Points in my account: TBD

* I received an email today with my activation code, so I called Member Administration since this is my first contract (no membership number/no way to login and check online). Not sure if the contract may have shown up earlier than April 3.

For anyone thats curious on how to call for your membership number/Club ID/activation code:
Call 1 800 800 9800
Ask to speak to Member Administration when you get a live agent (you'll likely be put through to MS even if you select MA)
They'll need the contract # for the seller, along with the seller's name, your name, and your address (for verification).

There's a membership number as well as a Club ID to request. And I would recommend confirming your activation code on the phone while you're talking to them - turns out my activation code emailed to me wasn't the right one, so I had to make a second call.

No points in the account yet, but hopefully soon!

Edited for the correct Disney number... my bad.

It's been over 2 weeks since my contract passed ROFR. Should I contact the title company (Magic Vacation Title) or just wait for them to send me closing docs?

It won't hurt to contact them and your broker. I did, and found out that the seller had returned there docs the day before. *** for me needed to be poked at every step, if I wasn't asking they didn't seem to be doing anything. I know that most people are happy with *** so maybe it's just me.

I recently did my first resale contract and my title company was ***. To be blunt, they were awful. If I buy resale again, I will never work with *** again. The messed up paperwork over and over. They were slow on every single process.

You may want to edit this post - the phone number is 9800 not 8900. I am lmao cause I tried calling that number thinking it was Disney as its been over a week since I closed (but only a week since deed recorded) and that number is definitely NOT Disney and is for people 18 and older lol. Overall a super helpful post though, thanks! but correct the phone number

 

[disneygirl281]

I would contact ***. I emailed 2 weeks post passing rofr to check status and then had my closing docs later that day.

Seller's Closing Documents Returned: ? (They had their's in before ours! These sellers were on the ball...can't complain)
Closed: 3/27
Deed Recorded: 3/28
Contract Visible: 4/2 (I’m already a member)
Points Loaded: 4/4

**I actually received a check from title company in closing documents! I’m assuming we overpaid somewhere. Nice surprise!!**

Not too bad considering all the other horror stories about Fidelity and First American Title.
Now time to rent those points that expire 8/1!!

Thanks for the update. We're on the same time frame since deed recorded, but my points haven't loaded yet (also already a member). Maybe today is the day.

 

[Bobb_o]

Jeez I didn't want to be a bother now I feel like I've wasted my time not emailing them sooner. I sent one this morning and hopefully they get back before the weekend.
