Thanks. It appears we've made a great choice. We will know hopefully this summer for our first DVC trip.

Is that alright to post here? I didn't think it was "allowed"?

I got my closing docs last week and overnighted them with our payment...the closing company got them a week ago today and we still have not had word that we've closed. I am wondering how long it should take to close (can't remember how long the last 2 closings took, but I think it was about a month from passing ROFR until we could use our points). And once we close, it will take Disney another 10-14 days to transfer the points over to us...right? I really hope to be able to book our Xmas trip around March 20, but that would mean we'd need to close today (or yesterday ;-)

You have some very good questions. I'm hoping someone who recently went through this can shed some light on the timeframe.

You need to check with your broker on the closing date. When we added on last summer, the closing packet we received had the closing date in them. The problem was we were signing July 2 and the closing date assigned was July 27, totally unacceptable. You're not sitting on my money for almost a month .
A quick call to our broker got the closing date moved up to July 10 and the points were loaded into our account two weeks later.

Thanks for the input.
I just found out this morning that we closed and we should see our packet from Disney in around 14 days. Does that sound right?

Congratulations, you're almost there! We didn't get a packet because we were already members and it was the same use year. At 14 days, regardless of if you have received your packet, you can call DVC MS and they should be able to give you your information so you can begin booking. Sooner than 14 days, they normally will not give you the info even if they have it.

Do you just call and give them your name? Is that how that works?

Use the member accounting option and they will need your name, resort, address and phone to pull it up.

We closed on 3/11. We are already members so we should see our points online within 10-14 days of closing...so you should also be getting your paperwork in around 14 days from closing. I check online every day (few times a day) to see if there's some miracle that the points are already transferred and available (even though it's only been a few days). Hope you get your packet quickly.

I know what you mean; similar to checking everyday to see if your tax return was deposited even though you know they're sitting on it

Yup...exactly!! I have a feeling Disney will take every second of that 2 weeks to load my points. They'd be smart to get them in there ASAP...cause as soon as they do, I am booking a 2BR and a studio at AKV and adding on the dining plan for the 5 of us (in the 2BR). First time getting the dining plan since 2008.

Yeah, same here. As soon as my points are loaded, I'm booking a stay and flight as well.
We were able to get our 12 night stay on the Dining Plan last trip in 2011 free and I have to admit, it will be really difficult not to have that plan on our upcoming trip. It was so much fun eating at all the different locations and trying different foods that I normally would not have done on my own dime.

Look into the TIW card. That's what we used for our last several trips and it was great. It gives you a 20% discount at most TS places (for up to 10 people in your party). It costs $100 to get and it's good for 13 months. Can't use it on major holidays including Xmas Eve and Xmas so we won't be getting it for this 5 night Xmas trip and will just get the DP instead.

I will look into it. Thanks.
Does it include QS?

Very few QS (some at AK and the regular value resorts food courts and ESPN Wide World of Sports). Not many QS places at all.
