We’re nearing the end of another year. Throughout 2024, we’ve actually had a lot of activity to write about in this series. Each month we follow up and share when Disney has bought back contracts in the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) part of the resale process. We have helpful information for you in our Disney ROFR DVC October 2024 report. DVC Resale Experts had the most buybacks we’ve seen in years. The last time we had close to this number was 5 in August of 2024 and at a few of the same resorts. Before that, the next high is October of 2022 with 9 ROFR buybacks overall. So how many buybacks were there in October? Where and for how much?
The statistics discussed below are based on DVC Resale Experts’ own sales and data.

Thoughts on ROFR DVC October 2024 Stats: The Most This Year
It’s now clear potential resale DVC buyers need to take note of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and Disney’s Old Key West Resort buybacks in 2024. We’ve had single ROFR buybacks at the Grand Floridian throughout the year. However, Old Key West has had buy backs six months in a row, almost always with multiple buybacks too. Animal Kingdom has become one to watch the last few months.
Following buyback trends and high prices paid by Disney Vacation Club continually gives us insight into what is necessary to submit a strong offer and have a contract close for resale buyers.
When we’re talking about per point prices, remember the amount of points on the contract has an effect on that number.
Contracts with higher point values typically sell for a little less per point.
Contracts with less points sell for a bit more per point.
This can definitely have an influence on how buyback high prices appear to be going. Talk with your expert regarding your specific interests and pricing.
