Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for the DVC contract to close?
Approximately 8 weeks. After we receive the Seller's signed contract along with the Buyer's signed contract and deposit, the contract goes to Disney Vacation Club for Right of First Refusal (ROFR). Disney has 30 days to review and decide whether to exercise their right. Once approved, Disney sends the estoppel to the title company, which then prepares final documents. After the final documents are executed and returned (along with the monies due from the Buyer), the contract closes and Disney is notified of the title transfer. Disney then processes the final membership transfer, and you'll receive your membership information via email.
When will I receive my DVC Member number so I can make a reservation?
Your DVC Member number should arrive via email from Disney Vacation Club approximately three weeks after your contract has been closed and recorded in county records. Once you receive your Member number, contact Disney Vacation Club member services to begin making reservations.
Do I have to travel to Florida for the closing?
No. Everything is handled remotely via email and mail. You do not need to be present for any part of the closing process.
Is my purchase protected?
Yes. We only recommend the most knowledgeable and efficient closing companies. For your protection, all closings are handled by licensed, bonded, and insured title companies and/or real estate attorneys well-versed in DVC closings. Closing costs include a title search, title insurance, administrative fees, and recording fees — paid to the title company at closing. A title search is conducted prior to closing to ensure the title is free and clear, and an insurance policy is issued to guarantee the same.
What is ROFR and should I be concerned?
Right of First Refusal (ROFR) gives Disney the option to purchase your contract at the agreed-upon price before the sale completes. Disney exercises ROFR selectively — typically on contracts priced too far below market value. Our agents are experienced in pricing offers to pass ROFR while still saving you money versus buying direct.
What deposit is required to make an offer?
A deposit is typically required when both parties sign the purchase agreement. The exact amount varies by contract, but is commonly around 10% of the purchase price. This deposit is held in escrow by the title company until closing.
Can I make reservations using the points right after closing?
Not immediately. After closing, Disney must process the membership transfer, which takes approximately three weeks. Once you receive your Member number from Disney, you can contact member services to book reservations. Keep in mind that 11-month home resort booking windows may have already passed for near-term dates.
