The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[tammymacb]

Well, so we don't hog up all the space on the official "Anyone Made it Through ROFR Lately ? " thread, I thought I'd make a place for folks who were obsessing about their ROFR coming through after their offers were made..

C'mon and obsess with us..Pull up a chair. :thumbsup2

[disneymotherof3]

If it's OK with you, I'm going to pull up my recliner. This stress is terrible. MY DH keeps telling me to try not to think about it. Yeah right!!!! But he's the first one to ask if we've heard anything! Hopefully our suffering will end soon.

[tammymacb]

Another day, another wait with no email...:rolleyes1

[tammymacb]

Hey, lets do a little introductions.

I'm Tammy, 38. My DH is Angus and our children are Caroline 11 and Tim 16. We live in Mount Pleasant, which is the coast side of Charleston. I'm a nurse and I work a weekend contract. Hence, most of my stays at Disney are during the week. I'm also a scuba diver, hence the 2 weeks in Bonaire starting July 26th. :woohoo:

I've got an offer on 100 BWV points, but will immediately add another 50 ( If I DIDN'T make ROFR, I'd go for a bigger BWV contract ) We go to Disney sporadically. It's only a 6 hour drive. We've got a trip booked in May ( Just DH and I @BWV- I'm borrowing points from my sister ) we're also going in June ( actually just me and the kids ) a dive trip in July and the Magic cruise in September.

My main reason wanting to buy is early December at BWV/Disney. Went this year and just fell in love. Though I've had plenty of opportunities to buy, this was the kicker for me.

OK, I told mine, now you all tell yours...:)

[disneymotherof3]

Same here. :sad2:

[HolidayRoad]

I too am struggling with the stress of ROFR. I live north of Boston with my DW, DD and DS. I have an offer in the ROFR stage for 150 points at BWV. I try not to think about it, ROFR, but it's hard when most of your house is decorated with Disney items. We are leaving for WDW in 44 days 12 hours 30 minutes and 27 seconds. We are staying at the Swan and the plan is to bank this years points and go nuts next year as the week at the swan this year will hold me over for a while. I plan to visit BWV while at WDW in 44 days 12 hours 28 minutes and 35 seconds (sorry I type slow). I also plan on buying everything with the words DVC or BWV on them while in WDW which I will be leaving for in 44 days 12 hours 26 minutes and 15 seconds.

On a side note I love the special Disney acronym thing. It's like our own secret language.

[tammymacb]

:lmao: :lmao: How long till your Swan trip now??

[tammymacb]

Ed, you didn't happen to nab that sweeet BWV at TTS with all the banked points did you? I saw that well after I was in ROFR and coveted it ...Now it's pending.

[Vickibean]

:grouphug:

I passed ROFR 8 days ago. It took an agonizing 19 calendar days, or 12 business days.

And remember, even though you pass it is still a daily struggle. There is still waiting for closing, then waiting for your points to become available.

But remember, you are strong DISers and with each others support you can make it through!!!!:cheer2:

[Tracy0729]

I did resale it took a total of 2 months and 2 weeks from start to finish and then about ten days before points were in my account. Good luck to you all

[monami7]

We are currently waiting too.
205 SSR pts, we started waiting 11 days ago. I hope to hear this week.
We are on LI.
I want it to go thru so we can get moving on the rest f the wait. i am hoping to book at 2 Br for the last week of January at SSR.

[HolidayRoad]

Ed, you didn't happen to nab that sweeet BWV at TTS with all the banked points did you? I saw that well after I was in ROFR and coveted it ...Now it's pending.
No, the one we are in RORF with has no banked points, however, where it's UY is in February there are 150 points available now and since I'm going to WDW in 44 days 9 hours 59 minutes and 29 seconds and staying at the Swan I will be banking all 150 Points, if I get it, so I have 300 for next years trip which as you know is a short 409 days 9 hours 56 minutes and 47 seconds away!

[HolidayRoad]

:lmao: :lmao: How long till your Swan trip now??
44 days 9 hours 53 minutes and 27 second. YEA!!!!!

[disneymotherof3]

My name is Cheryl and my DH is Chris. We have 3 kids....Desiree, 14...Emma, 3 (4 in June) and Dylan, almost 22 months. We live in Virginia Beach, VA. I'm a SAHM and my DH is a Chief in the Navy. I've been to WDW quite a few times, but last April was DH's first time! He was hooked after that!!! We went back in November, just the 2 of us for the F&WF, and went to one of the DVC tours. We really wanted to sign on right then and there, but the realistic side of us said that we really couldn't do it then.

Well we started looking at the DVC section here on the Disboards and learned more and more about it. That's where we found the TTS. We looked for awhile and found a contract that we thought looked great for us. My DH called and the next thing I knew we were signing papers for a contract! Our contract is for 110 points with another 110 banked points at OKW, June UY, $80p/p. We submitted on 2/14, so tomorrow will be 3 long, agonizing weeks!

We REALLY want this for our family! Family vacations are very important to us. We want to make sure that it's a "tradition" that we pass down to our kids and (I can't believe that I'm going to say this) our grandkids.

Hopefully we'll all get some good news and pixiedust: soon!!! Good luck to us all!!!!

[tammymacb]

I've noticed that ROFR's seem to come all at once...Maybe we'll all get our TTS emails at the same time..

Still worrying about my June UY and hoping Disney doesn't have anyone on their waitlist who needs those points...

[sandals1959]

I recently passed ROFR and it went pretty quickly. I got a pretty good deal @78 per point for SSR. :cloud9: I wasn't expecting it to go through so quickly, but I should be receiving my packet within several weeks. From what I hear, Disney is passing on quite a few, as of late. Good luck to all!!!!

:grouphug:

[tammymacb]

Thanks!

For those who have made it through and used TTS, did they call you or email you or both?

Obviously I haven't made it through yet, but this is what our guy told us:

Generally one of our administrators will notify you via e-mail on ROFR as soon as we hear from Disney.

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

No email at 6:31 am.

Ed, how long till your trip now? :lmao:

43 days 20 hours 54 minutes and 15 seconds until the family truckster departs!

[tammymacb]

We're heading to BWV May 5th through the 8th for an adults only getaway.

Ed, you're a smart man, buying the 150 points off the bat. I put in an offer on 100, did the math, and have to add on immediately. ( Of course, I added trips that I all the sudden "needed" to do )

Adults only getaway, sounds like fun, I don't think my kids would go for my wife and I heading for Disney while they hang out with Grandma... someday.

Tammy, it may sound like it's a better idea but I haven't even got the 150 yet and I'm checking out adding on. Like you, all of a sudden I need more if I'm going to somehow survive in WDW! Two months ago CBR was just fine, now I couldn't possibly get buy unless I have a full kitchen. I don't understand, 150 was fine when I started this process but now I figure 225 I will be fine, ya right.

[tammymacb]

Well, when I first told DH I was buying DVC, I only planned on buying 50 points. Wanted them for the first part of December at BWV. Well, DH said, that we really should consider 100 points as we take other trips down here and there.

OK, so I bought 100. NOW I'm planning my Dec trip, a girls only trip, a kids early June trip. I'd like to occasionally use HH as it's only an 1.5 hour drive. AND if we don't do a lot of Disney in a particular year we can use our points to go to say...Grand Cayman and stay at the Reef and dive for a week.

Who knows what the "right" number will end up being.

[disneymotherof3]

We made it through!!!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!!!

:dance3: :woohoo: :banana: :yay: :cool1: :cheer2: :dancer: party:


But get this!!! I didn't find out from TTS. I found out from Nancy who is handling our closing. She called this morning to let me know that she received all the documents that we sent her yesterday. She was going through things and mentioned that Disney waived on the FIRST! I immediately stopped her and asked her to repeat that. She said, "You didn't know?". I told her NO!!!!! I told her that we've been driving ourselves crazy waiting to find out! She said that she received the info that it passed on Friday and that she was just waiting on one more thing from Disney. I told her that she made my day!!!!!!

I'm still in shock!!! I can't believe that we are actually going to be DVC owners!! Somebody pinch me!!!!!!

Here's hoping that this is the beginning of GREAT things to come!!!!!!! Hang in there everyone!! My day FINALLY came and so will yours! :thumbsup2

[tammymacb]

I'm calling Nancy. Just in case...;)

I'm so happy for you. We need to keep this thread going, we can still "support" each other through ROFR AND closing.

[disneymotherof3]

That's awesome. I'm happy for you. Now, poor Nancy who is also the person who will also be handling my closing, if and or when, it happens will be inundated with phone calls. I don't have Nancy's phone number with me and my wife isn't home, sooooo. I sit and wait. In the mean time:

CONGRATS DISNEYMOTHEROF3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tammymacb]

I left Nancy a message. Called TTS also. They told me to "be patient". :rolleyes1

[disneymotherof3]

Thanks everyone! Now I'm wondering how long it will take for TTS to call and tell us that we passed. :confused:

[tammymacb]

OK...left Nancy a message AND an email. Can't believe there are TWO disboard members who found out from Nancy instead of TTS..

[disneymotherof3]

I wonder what they would say if I called and asked??? Hmmmmm........

[HolidayRoad]

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:scared1: :eek: :scared1: :eek:



Alright I feel a little better

[icouldlivethere]

Thanks everyone! Now I'm wondering how long it will take for TTS to call and tell us that we passed. :confused:

OK...left Nancy a message AND an email. Can't believe there are TWO disboard members who found out from Nancy instead of TTS..

We passed ROFR on Feb. 14th on a contract that was submitted on Feb. 4th.

Our only way of finding out was an email I got from Yamilin Alfonso who is an Administrative Assistant at TTS. She emailed us with a congratulations and told us it typically takes 28 days to get final closing documents from Timeshare Closing Services.

At the bottom of the email she wrote "You may have already received a call from Timeshare Closing Services, Inc. or your associate letting you know that Disney has waived. I apologize in advance if you have already received notice." I emailed her back thanking her for contacting me with the good news because I had not received any other notice.

It seems to me that they should have a system in place where it should be somebody's responsibility to contact you when you pass ROFR but unfortunately I don't think that's the case. I think they all think that somebody else is going to do it.

I agree. There should be some kind of procedure in place so that people are notified when the information comes in. To me, that's not acceptable. The only reason that I found out from Nancy was because my DH had faxed some stuff to her yesterday and they were having some issues with their fax machine. So she called to let us know that she did receive the documents and happened to mention that Disney passed on our contract on March 1st. That means that they could have ended our suffering on Friday. I still haven't heard from them.

[HolidayRoad]

OK...left Nancy a message AND an email. Can't believe there are TWO disboard members who found out from Nancy instead of TTS..
I just Emailed Nancy myself, she is probably wondering why all these people are calling her and Emailing on ROFR all of a sudden. Don't worry, I didn't give up disneymotherof3 as the source of the knowledge. I'll let you know if I hear from her.

Thank you!! I appreciate that!

[HolidayRoad]

She Emailed me back saying there is no word from Disney yet on my contract. At least I know that there is nothing to know:confused: . So the wait continues.:rolleyes1

[disneymotherof3]

Guess what! I just got an e-mail from TTS that we passed ROFR.

[HolidayRoad]

OK this just isn't fair - why does disneymotherof3 get to pass "ROFR" TWICE before the rest of us get to pass once! :mad:

[Beavertails Queen]

Hi All,
I wanted to join in on your board. I am "patiently" awaiting ROFR on my DVC purchase of 50 points for AKL. I wish I could buy more but I am hoping to add on another 25 once I pass to have 75. I don't have a family yet so I figure this will be perfect for trips once a year. I can't wait to hear and am jealous of those who already have!

[HolidayRoad]

So now here is the list on this thread, as I see it (still in ROFR):

Tammymacb - Our leader

Monami7 - Doesn't post much

Holidayroad - Posts way too much

Beavertail Queen - Newbie (at least to this thread)

If I forgot anybody, sorry.

[disneymotherof3]

BTW, hi Tammy's sister! I've heard that you live in Williamsburg. I live in Va. Beach! I told Tammy that if she ever came to visit, that we all need to get together.

[HolidayRoad]

[HolidayRoad]

HEY!!!! :wave: I'm still here! Don't forget me. I might have passed, but I still have to close.
I wouldn't forget about you! I was only posting those of us still suffering in ROFR. We still need your support!

[HolidayRoad]

So now here is the list on this thread, as I see it (still in ROFR):

Tammymacb - Our leader

Monami7 - Doesn't post much

I’m also waiting….faxed contract on 2-14-08 for 100 BWV points. Found out it wasn’t sent to Disney until 2-21-08! :sad2:

[tammymacb]

I'm home! Got my letter! I passed...:cool1:

We're still here for you, Ed ( and everyone else who continues to wait ). We still have a looong time till closing and I plan on keeping this thread open.

BTW, when I talked to Nancy today ( before I even heard about my ROFR- I was given a closing date of April 9th IF I passed ). We still have months of this...:rotfl:

[disneymotherof3]

CONGRATS!!!!! I just think it's funny that we found out before you did!:lmao: We were given a closing date of April 7th so you won't be far behind. ;) Now you can put a BWV picture in your signature! :thumbsup2

[HolidayRoad]

That's great Tammy, I know you still have a month or so before you close but it at least the hard part is behind you. Congrats!

[dizney4us]

Okay, add us to the list. DH and I are waiting on a 150 point BWV contract. We made the offer on friday and it went to Disney for ROFR Monday 3/3/08, so I know we are in the early stages.:goodvibes
We already own at SSR which we bought through Disney last year. We knew we wanted more points and contemplated an add-on at SSR or AKV, but I just loved our recent stay at BWV and the ability to walk to Epcot and MGM, so we decided to go that route instead. So, hopefully we will be proud owners at BWV in addition to our beloved Saratoga Springs. Wish me luck!:thumbsup2

[tammymacb]

Hmmm..maybe you're the soon to be owner of that sweeet BWV contract I was coveting on TTS. ;)

This seems to be a lucky thread so far...I can't wait till everyone hears that they also have their points.

Now that I have a closing date of 4-9 I have to figure out if I want to call Disney to add 50 more points or if I should go on the lookout for a 50 point contract at TTS..:confused3

Now I have to figure out how to add that little BWV tag to my siggy...

Oh, Ed, how long NOW??:lmao:

[dizney4us]

Not sure if it's me? This one had an October UY, with 139 07 points and the 150 coming for 08. We came home from BWV on Friday, and after totally loving our stay there, pulled up the TSS listings, saw it and struck a deal that night. We were told it has just been listed the day before:woohoo: Hopefully it's meant to be!!:love:

[tammymacb]

That's a good contract, but the one I was drooling over was a 150 point contract with allllll kinds of banked points.

I felt the same way about BWV as you did. When I vacationed there this December I knew that's where I wanted. It was just excellent..

I love OKW too...The theming is beautiful and the rooms are HUGE.

Saratoga Springs..used to live there. Worked at Saratoga Hospital delivering babies..

WLV..would probably be DH's favorite, but we spend the least time at MK so it's not a good location for us...

I think they're pretty much all awesome..

[HolidayRoad]

Tammy - 43 days 9 hours 28 minutes and 2 seconds!

[dizney4us]

Agreed, they are all great places to call home!

Your now on the list, you are officially suffering in the dreaded ROFR waiting game. Make sure you thank Tammy as she invented this thread and since misery loves company this seems to work out well!!

[disneymotherof3]

Tammy - 43 days 9 hours 28 minutes and 2 seconds!

Ed you are too funny!!!! :lmao: :lmao:

[sajetto]

Although, I'm not wating on ROFR, I dread the days of waiting that we will face when we add on in the future. Congrats to Tammy and disneymotherof3 for passing! :cheer2:

[tammymacb]

I think we're gonna have fun with this thread...( especially when Ed passes ROFR and starts posting his days, hours, minutes, seconds until closing );)

[tammymacb]

Sajetto-
How did you move your siggy pics up so that they all fit? My BWV pic is cut off..

[sajetto]

Sajetto-
How did you move your siggy pics up so that they all fit? My BWV pic is cut off..

The only way I could get them to fit was to get rid of my trip tickers :sad2: and then it was trial and error. I had to tinker with it a few times and preview it before I finally got it right.

[disneymotherof3]

I think we're gonna have fun with this thread...( especially when Ed passes ROFR and starts posting his days, hours, minutes, seconds until closing );)

I thought we were already having fun! I agree....Ed is going to be hilarious when he passes ROFR! I can't wait!

Oh sure, you guys are having a great time, you passed ROFR. The rest of us sit here worried. Thinking about a room somewhere where Disney Execs are taking their time making these decisions about my BWV points! I can hear them laughing, "should we give him the points? No, let's make him sweat it out, he already drank the cool aid, he's going nowhere."

And yes. 43 days 7 hours 59 minutes and 8 seconds until the family truckster departs.

BTW, hi Tammy's sister! I've heard that you live in Williamsburg. I live in Va. Beach! I told Tammy that if she ever came to visit, that we all need to get together.

Yes we will have to have a DVC luncheon in Virginia!:goodvibes

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

Another day of :surfweb: to look foreward to!

Trying to think of a good topic for the day. Chime in if you have one!

[dvcnewgirl]

I think I have one..

If you could be anywhere right now at a DVC resort where would you be?

I would be in the Zero entry side of the pool at SSR, playing with my son and watching my daughter go up and down the slide for the hundreth time.:goodvibes then heading to the Turf Club for dinner.. yes I am not waiting for ROFR but I can't wait to go back to DVC.. only 58 days 15 hrs 46 mins and 2 secs for me!:rotfl:

[tammymacb]

Kristen and I are going on the same couples trip! :thumbsup2 I'm dring in after her.

My choice would be hanging out on the Boardwalk, I'd walk over to WS for lunch at the fish 'n chips cart.

Ed, when exactly did you stuff get sent to ROFR? I couldn't find a date on the other thread..

You know, I'm not exactly sure when it went in. I want to say February 22 but I could be wrong. I didn't know that this would be such an important date to remember. When I Emailed Nancy she said that there were a few in front of mine so I do know there is some sort of order they are following. I just don't know how fast they do this, one a day, one a hour, etc. It really hasn't been an outrageous amount of time but it still doesn't make the waiting any easier.

I would be at MY DVC resort that I was through ROFR and closed on, with my new members packet in hand ,as my wife watches me frolicking in the splendor that is DVC life, quite embarrassed as her and the two kids hide behind the giant clown at the pool and hope that nobody recognizes us. How are they going to live up to my expectations!?!?!

[disneymotherof3]

Good morning my fellow future DVCer's!!! Here's hoping that we have some more good news today!! :thumbsup2

As for where would I be, I'd have to echo Ed's answer. I'd me at MY DVC relaxing and enjoying watching my family bask in the glory of being DVC owners. This is going to sound goofy and sappy, but I am so thrilled that we were able to do this for our family, especially our kids. Family time means so much to us with my DH being in the Navy. We never know when he may be called away. We feel like when we're at Disney, we're a million miles away from everything else going on in the world.

I can't wait to go home!! :banana:

[tammymacb]

I would be at MY DVC resort that I was through ROFR and closed on, with my new members packet in hand ,as my wife watches me frolicking in the splendor that is DVC life, quite embarrassed as her and the two kids hide behind the giant clown at the pool and hope that nobody recognizes us. How are they going to live up to my expectations!?!?!


Sounds awesome! I hadn't considered frolicking with my new members packet. Maybe I should bring it in May..:lmao:

I only know that date I submitted because I posted on the Waiting for ROFR thread. I thought it would be there Monday ( to TTS ) but it was a Fed holiday so they got it on the 19th. I knew ( had been told by my salesman) that all the sellers paperwork was already signed and waiting on my check. They got everything and submitted on the 19th. I got word yesterday. 16 days. I can't imagine you aren't right behind me..:thumbsup2

[HolidayRoad]

Good morning my fellow future DVCer's!!! Here's hoping that we have some more good news today!! :thumbsup2

As for where would I be, I'd have to echo Ed's answer. I'd me at MY DVC relaxing and enjoying watching my family bask in the glory of being DVC owners. This is going to sound goofy and sappy, but I am so thrilled that we were able to do this for our family, especially our kids. Family time means so much to us with my DH being in the Navy. We never know when he may be called away. We feel like when we're at Disney, we're a million miles away from everything else going on in the world.

I can't wait to go home!! :banana:
I am happy for you, and in all seriousness, if you wouldn't mind, thank your husband for his service to our country, from me. It's because of people like him that we are afforded the opportunities and in reality, luxuries in life like DVC. Just so you and he know, there are people out there, me included, that are very appreciative of the sacrifices made by families like yours so rest of us can live this way, So Thank You.

I apologize in advance for this question. I'm not sure i understand exactly how ROFR works. I take it that you are buying some elses DVC contract. Who has the Right of First Refusal? Disney? DVC? I'm asking because I want to add on points in the future, I'm just trying to figure out how this works..

If you buy resale, when you sign a contract that contract goes to disney. If they want to buy it they can, and then you have to start over finding a new contract. I hope that makes sense.:upsidedow

Hey All,
I got home from work yesterday and had my e-mail. I passed ROFR! I am just so excited. Now I have to wait for all my paperwork and then I will add on points. Thanks to all the people who were supporting me. And to those still waiting- fear not I am sure that your ROFR will go well and will be on its way!

[tammymacb]

Excellent. Don't forget us. We hope to post the closing process also, and be here for new folks making offers every day!

Congrats on your passing!:cool1:

[Beavertails Queen]

Posting again to answer questions. If I could be anywhere at the moment I think I would be sitting on my AKL balcony enjoying a nice glass of wine and watching the animals. Otherwise on the bike trail between WL and FW where you can see deer and feel like you are out in the wilderness.
Don't have a countdown on yet for my next trip but will be planning it as soon as I am official and have all my paperwork.

My question to all:
What are the reasons for choosing the DVC resort that you did? I know everyone loves their DVC home for a particular reason but I would love to hear them. Not to start arguments but to hear what is great about all the DVC resorts.

Honestly, we chose our contract at OKW because it was a good contract (all '07 & '08points) and it was what we could afford. We've never been to OKW, but have heard some great things about it (low points, big rooms). We've been talking about doing this for awhile now, but couldn't afford to buy in through Disney. With a resale, it was MUCH cheaper. Even though we didn't get all the points we wanted (who does???), we thought that we would at least get our foot in the door.

[tammymacb]

I think Fridays are big ROFR days...( Cheryl was pased the first, I think I was passed the first ( c'mon, no word from Disney but I already had a closing date ? ;) )

Maybe tomorrow will be yet another lucky day!

I chose BWV for the convenience of walking to MGM and Epcot. Love the convenience. I spent 5 days there this December, our studio did need a little updating, but with the location and the great time we had, it was still my first choice.

[Escape Artist]

I think Fridays are big ROFR days...

Interesting factoid! After I read that, I checked my notes, and my DVC also passed ROFR...on a Friday (February 1st.)

I'm still waiting to close...waiting...waiting...waiting... Timeshare Closing Services should be receiving my check today and hopefully they've already got the sellers paperwork, so we can get finalized! Just like everybody else here, I can't wait to make my 1st reservation.

I chose OKW because: could park near our room, has big rooms and big balconies (we're a family of 5), has a relaxed environment, the price was right and we love the nature/island vibe. Of course, all of this is just hearsay, since *I've never even seen the DVC we bought at*! Or for that matter, any DVC at all! :lmao:

But I feel good about our purchase and know we'll get a lot of use out of it. I only bought 100 points, so I expect we'll be adding on at some point. Maybe by then, we'll know where we want to stay!?! ;)

[HolidayRoad]

I guess I'm gonna give up on today being the day. Maybe tomorrow :rolleyes: . Tammy will probably get through her 50 point add on before the mouse gives me an answer. Oh well, they have to tell me someday. Until then:

42 days 12 hours 13 minutes 11 seconds until we pull outta here sideways!!!

[tammymacb]

:lmao: :lmao:

Well look on the bright side! You don't have to know your closing date so you can have your add on ready to go!

Bernard gave me some good news on that front today. I asked him if I added on directly with Disney ( I have a June UY ) what would happen with my 2007 points. ( If I'm not waitlisted forever, that is ;) ) I told him even though I had trips this summer, my May trip is paid for ( borrowed points from my sister ) and my June trip would be too late. So, theoretically I would lose those 2007 points since it's too late to bank them. BUT, Bernard said if I buy them as an add on Disney will waive the banking rule...Soooo...I'll bank the 2007 for 2008 :woohoo:

While I was on the phone DH asked to speak to Bernard. I had no idea why. Well he asked him if he handled both myself and my sister. Bernard said yes. DH informed him that he may just want to ask for a raise..:lmao:

Tomorrow's gonna be a lucky day! I can feeeel it ( though no one may call you until next week...:rotfl: )

[Beavertails Queen]

[icouldlivethere]

I'm looking forward to hearing how everybody's closing experience goes and how soon afterwards you get in the system and get your points.

Even though we passed ROFR on Feb. 14th it looks like most of you will be closing before us. The seller of our contract is taking a trip in April and so we can't close until after his trip is completed on April 20th.

I'm hoping to get in the system in time to get a reservation at my home resort for early December before the 7 month window opens. I have always wanted to see the Christmas decorations at Disney and thought that would be a good first trip home for us.

The email I received telling me that we had passed ROFR said we should get our final closing documents in the mail in about 28 days. That means we should have them in about a week. There should be no hurry for us to get everything back to them considering we can't close before April 20th.

Aw, thanks for saying so! That picture is there because it makes me smile every time I see it. We had such a wonderful time in FW, and I haven't even ridden the bike trail yet! We stayed for 10 days, and there still wasn't enough time to fully enjoy the place. Been there, done that, goin' back!

I hope my kids always remember the Fort the way you do. :goodvibes My "theory" of DVC is I'll go camp in my popup for 10-ish days, then stay at a DVC for 3-ish days before I have to head home. Two weeks is a great escape to me, and staying at DVC will be like the whipped cream on the sundae of a Disney vacation! :love: I love camping at FW, plus, it's a *lot* cheaper! So I can stay longer!!!!

Hope you get back to the Fort again soon! I can't wait to see the holiday decorations for the first time this Christmas. ;)

I liked yesterdays idea of a topic of the day while we wait for our ROFR. So today I will throw one out that is a question I always ask Disney people when I found out they are Disney people. I'll try to keep it DVC related as much as possible (it's not really possible). At the end of the day before you head back to your DVC resort, what is your favorite end of the day Disney show:

A- Wishes

B- Illuminations

C- Fantasmic

D- Other, __________


Thought this would be fun to check out while I wait and wait and wait...popcorn::

I would have to say that Wishes is my favorite. Just something about the fireworks, the music and being at the castle and seeing it all lit up is magical!

BTW, when did you submit again?

I believe they submitted my contract for ROFR on or about the 22nd if that's accurate then today would exactly two weeks. So they have time I guess.

For me it is easy...Illuminations. I worked in Canada at Epcot for 12 months and got to see Illuminations every night for a year. I think I can recite the "We have gathered" intro in my sleep. But I loved it every time I saw it!

You worked in Canada! I love Le Cellier! The Mushroom Filet is awesome! Not the most Kid oriented place but who cares. For the money I love it, people sing praises about Shula's and the Yachtsman Steakhouse but if you don't want to take out a second mortgage and want a great Filet for me Le Cellier!!

Count me in on the waiting game. Our contract # was wrong and we had to sign again last night. I think our contract was submitted on 2/26. Now I wonder if we will start counting days all over again. Anyway, we bought 150 BCV points with December use year. The waiting is terrible! :sick:

Holiday Road - I have to laugh at your user name. We have been to WDW from Chicago/Milwaukee 13 times on that holiday road! We used to set up a TV in our van and let the kids watch the Griswold's. It was great. Now, most of them are grown up (we have 8), but I still have to watch that movie every spring break. It's a classic. Sorry this is off the topic :happytv:

8 kids in a van from Milwaukee to WDW. You have to be the most easy going person in the world or a Saint. I would last about 10 minutes. I drive from Massachusetts every year with two and can barely keep my sanity. As for "Vacation" It is part of our yearly trip to "Wally World". It's gotten to the point where I hear that song and I start to think about our own vacations! "Why 'cause were the Griswolds"

Helllooooo! I'm home! I missed "our" thread today! :goodvibes

My answer to today's question is "Illuminations" I remember when it first opened at Epcot, I think then it was called the laser phonic fantasy?

My main man, Bernard, called me today to let me know that starting the first of April, BWV resale from Disney will increase by $6.00 per point. :confused:

If I can close by the end of March, I can still get the current point prices, but if not...they're going up.

Unfortunately, my closing date is set for April 9th..:rolleyes:

[llmurphy17]

Hello all,

Count me in. I just started the process for the first time today. I am trying to get points at HH. My plan is to bank this year's points and go away next July. So I am ok about when the points go in (if it's this year :rotfl: ) but I am worried that the price per point was too low. I was told that I have a 75% chance. I really hope it goes through since it was my use year and the perfect amount of points. :surfweb:

So now the waiting begins................popcorn::

[Buckeye Fan]

May I join, please? :flower3:

Just made offer today, should get contract Monday. Hope to go off to ROFR sometime next week. I'm 50/50 on whether this one will pass or not (VB - $60 per point). It's a gamble, but thank heavens it's not my first contract! LOL!

I'm glad I can help out the seller. They really wanted to get rid of it and had it listed at $58 per pt. I upped it to $60 in hopes it had a chance of passing.

Anyway...good luck to everyone waiting to hear. I know how hard that is and it seems like the two week stretch (+/-) never ends! Here's some extra pixie dust going out to all of you who are officially waiting and to those of us who will be!!! pixiedust: pixiedust:

Tammy! That's just mean! Most of us don't own anywhere yet! We're still in ROFR. Now, if we are going to assume that we eventually get through ROFR and get to close then my answer would Beach Club, or the imaginary "Kingdom Towers".

[disneymotherof3]

I'm just trying to get through this one first! :scared: Even though we already passed, it's still nerve racking! I'll be happy when this is done and over with. If I had to choose.....hmmmmm........I guess I'd probably say either BWV or AKV.

[Chickkypoo]

You can add me to the list. My contract was submitted for ROFR on March 5. I'm purchasing 210 points at Wilderness Lodge.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[Beavertails Queen]

One other thing. Wrong thread and all but I have to ask as a seasoned EPCOT vet. Where is your favorite spot to watch Illuminations!

Ohh that is a hard one to answer. I kinda liked being on the bridge area between the UK, the international gateway and France. Or else in Canada right beside the beer and popcorn cart. There are no trees so there is nothing to block your view. Also I too love the mushroom fillet. And I think I ate the cheese soup every day!

Today's question: if I hadn't bought AKL I think I would have gone for Beach Club. I like the proximity to Epcot and especially the restaurants (Cape May Cafe, Yahtsmen steakhouse, Beaches and Cream).

OK, that's easy for me. We already own VWL since 2004. We took a trip last year and stayed at all the villas to see which one we wanted to buy more points in. Beach Club won the prize. Although I didn't care for the room we got, it was so close to Epcot and the pool was awesome! We will also have accommodations on each end of the world! So we are in ROFR for BCV points.

Ed, I wasn't being mean...I didn't mean "own" I meant "the resort you already picked" ;) Anyways, I bet next week you're gonna own.

To answer my own question, I'd pick BCV, the biggest reason I love BWV is the location. So..BCV it would be. :)

I know you weren't being mean, I like to jump on stuff like that, I'm weird that way. As for BCV I agree, the wife and I went back and forth on BWV and BVC I think we ended up on BWV because of price of the resales mostly and really, I was thrilled either way. The location is awesome.

I would have to say BCV also for its location.

I purchased BWV for the location and the availability of SV for fewer points. I would also be interested in KTR when it opens and would love to do a small add on there.

[HolidayRoad]

Good Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

Third day of work AND lost an hour of sleep...C'mon Monday!
I completely forgot about DST! Oh well, the kids can go to Sunday school next week.

[tammymacb]

Posting from work...not birthing any babies this morning and I really wouldn't mind not doing that today! :thumbsup2

popcorn:: Can't wait to see who's contracts made it through ROFR next week!

[Laxmom]

I just have to say "good luck, everyone!" I have been reading and learning - don't have a contract with DVC in ROFR.....yet. We are waiting on another TS company - we aren't optimistic. (2 weeks and counting!) If that comes back as expected, we will be waiting on DVC news ourselves soon. So, in the meantime, Good luck all! We hope to join you with our own wait soon!!

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, good luck!

I see you will be on the Magic 5 nite cruise in September. I'll be there, too. It's funny seeing the doorsign I designed around this site.

[Laxmom]

Love that sign! And can't wait for that cruise!

I see you are in coastal SC. HHI is where we are trying to buy vacation time.
We went in Feb for our first offseason visit and loved it. We want to get back every year at that time and that is what we are trying to buy. We go every other year in the summer with kids now. This purchase is just a getaway for DH and me. The kids are older and we feel that we can escape once a year. One way or another.... we will get it done. Hopefully DVC will happen for us because the other option is just not looking promising.

[tammymacb]

My sister owns HH points ( I live in Charleston ) and she says it's beautiful! I don't think I'll buy there, but I would love to visit a bit off season ( Oct-early November )

[llmurphy17]

Well I would pick BWV if I didn't have AKV and if the points expired in 2057. I love the theme, the view, the walk to epcot, everthing about BWV ;) . I'll probably try to vacation there every few years. :cloud9:

As far as this waiting game - it is a nightmare. :scared: And I have at least 2 more weeks of this :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

[dizney4us]

So much for good luck Fridays :confused: . Oh well, we will start fresh next week.
Monami7, Dizney4us any word? I see Tink6137130 will also be waiting until next week.
O.K. we meet back here first thing Monday morning and start all over.


Until then: 41 days 11 hours 22 minutes and 3 seconds until the truckster heads to the Swan, and hopefully stroll over and visit my new home!?!?

Nothing yet HolidayRoad:confused3 The waiting can really drive you crazy!! Is thsi your first DVC purchase, or are you trying to add another contract?

[disneyfatherof3]

I think Fridays are big ROFR days...( Cheryl was pased the first, I think I was passed the first ( c'mon, no word from Disney but I already had a closing date ? ;) )

Maybe tomorrow will be yet another lucky day!

I chose BWV for the convenience of walking to MGM and Epcot. Love the convenience. I spent 5 days there this December, our studio did need a little updating, but with the location and the great time we had, it was still my first choice.

Tammy this is Cheryl's husband when is your closing date? Ours is 7 Apr can you beat that since we both passed ROFR the same day;) .

[HolidayRoad]

Nothing yet HolidayRoad:confused3 The waiting can really drive you crazy!! Is thsi your first DVC purchase, or are you trying to add another contract?
This is our first, hopefully first, purchase. We go to WDW pretty much every year since new years 1999/2000 (now that was a crowd). We have stayed at all the moderates at least once along with Wilderness Lodge. We have been toying with the idea of buying for a long time, took the tours talked to people who own and even people who didn't like the experience and sold their DVC points. We finally find ourselves in the position to take the plunge. How about you? You own already or a first timer?

[tammymacb]

Our closing is set for April 9th. I'm going to call Nancy tomorrow to see if it can be moved up ( betting it's a big no ) so that I can get on a wait list for the rest of my points from Disney.

If I can't, I'll be right back on this thread waiting for ROFR again...this time for 50 points :lmao:

Tammy,
Just like you, if we pass ROFR we think we may want to add on right away after we close. Since you are already looking into this how does the add-on process work when going through Disney? I noticed you said waiting list, do you tell them what you want and they put you on a list? Just curious, thanks.

[disneymotherof3]

:welcome: to all of our new partners in torture! LOL! I have a warm and fuzzy feeling that it's gonna be a great week! :thumbsup2 How is everyone holding up?

[tink6137130]

I’m also interested in adding on, my contract is only 100 points and already I think I may need more… I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to MONDAY!!!

[tammymacb]

I already called my guide. He checked BWV to see how many points are available for my UY ( June ) at the time I spoke to him, there were 3..:rolleyes:

So, I'd go on a list for June UY BWV points ( told him I'd take 2 - 25s or a 50 ) Anyhoo, the biggest problem is- point prices go up April 1st. The same BWV points that are currently 98PP will be $104PP after. If I closed before April 1st, I could get in on the wait list and freeze the cost of points at $98. Unfortunately, my closing date is April 9th...so it's either pay the 104 or look for another resale...

[tammymacb]

Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

WhooooHoooo a day of this! :surfweb:

I have a feeling that this will be a good week for some of our peeps! :wizard:

Ed, when I spoke to my guide, there were some BWV UY's that had enough availability that I could have bought a 160 point Disney contract. I'd already told him that if I didn't make ROFR that's what I was going to do

I can't remember what your UY is, but I remember September and maybe December (?) as having at least 160 points. I'd guess this changes daily. Right now, I'm trying to decide on ease of add on VS money..at $104, I'm thinking that I'll wait on a resale..:confused:

Good Morning Tammy,
The UY of the contract I have in ROFR is February. I'll find out, I guess if I pass ROFR if they have any February available. Now when did the guide get assigned to you? Was it right after you passed ROFR?

[tammymacb]

No, it was quite the coincidence. My DS had told me how much she liked her guide and called him to ask if he could be mine also. ( I wanted to ask questions about an add on ) Anyhoo, she called her guide Bernard, he punched in my name and guess what? Apparently I talked to him in 2003- so he was ALREADY my guide, assigned from that contact 5 years ago.

If you've ever talked to a Disney person about DVC, you already have a guide assigned. If not, you get the guide assigned to the particular contact you buy.

Oh, O.K. now I get it. I must already have a guide then. I think her name is Linda we did a tour a few years ago and then the last time I called with a question, a while back. she called me back. I figured since I am not buying directly through Disney I wouldn't get the same person or get a guide at all, until I read your posts. Thanks for the info and I will probably attempt to contact her at some point. Hope she's not mad that I'm buying resale and not directly through her!

[tammymacb]

Well, Bernard was really nice... I told him that when I originally bought, I didn't think I'd need the 160 points, but after doing some math, it would have worked

So, I had it worked out that if A- I was ROFR'd I was going to contact him and buy 160 BWV points directly and Disney finance a part

OR

B- I was going to make an immediate add on of 50 points from Disney- as long as I got my points by June 1st, I would have gotten 50 2007 AND 50- 2008 AND Disney would have let me bank those 2007 points as it was so close to the end of the UY. ;)

Anyway, he knew I was going to buy something. Now with the new price change though...:confused: I'm back to undecided about a second June UY resale...

[HolidayRoad]

Tammy, Just thought I'd keep you updated:

38 days 19 hours 14 minutes and 33 seconds until WDW!

I'll be sure to wander over from the Swan and check out your new home, you know make sure everything is in order, take in your mail, water the plants.

[tammymacb]

Sweet! I can't wait until our May trip! By then I'll be watering your plants and checking your mail also, while you're "out of town".

How many points are you adding??

[HolidayRoad]

Sweet! I can't wait until our May trip! By then I'll be watering your plants and checking your mail also, while you're "out of town".

We aren't really sure right now, my wife wants at least 200 points total so we can have 100 points per kid if we wanted to pass them down to them. I'm keeping them so I don't know what she's thinking but I'll go along with any idea to get more points. Right now I figure a good goal over the next few years is to get to 250 and then we will go from there.

[icouldlivethere]

Just to update everybody I got my final closing papers via email today.

My time line was as follows:

Feb. 4th contract went to Disney for ROFR

Feb. 14th received email saying we had passed ROFR -(my best Valentine's Day present)

March 10th received email with final closing documents

My closing documents state they need everything in their office by April 17th. The current owner is taking a trip in April so we can't close until their trip is over.

I hope all you who are awaiting ROFR good some good news soon!!

I'm looking forward to hearing from those of you whose closing will take place before ours how long it takes for you to get in the Disney system.

[tammymacb]

On the closing front-

So far no paperwork has arrived. Closing date given to me by Nancy is April 9th.

Ed, I was a tad worried about ROFR since when I talked to Bernard, Disney only had 3 points available with my UY and I was worried they may ROFR my contract for someone elses waitlist. However, I did make it through and they still have no points..:lmao:

I called last week after you and Tammy got through and they had nothing. My wife says I'm not allowed to call until Friday because she doesn't want to upset anybody! By the way, I see that your husband and myself have recently joined the same "Dis Dads Club" over on another thread. How cool it is that your married to the real Christopher Robin!!!!

I know! It's only been since we went to WDW last April (his 1st trip!) that he's started telling people that's his name. He's so proud of it now! When I first met him, he told me that his name was Butch! :lmao: I knew that wasn't his real name. He finally told me that his "given" name was Christopher. I asked him what was wrong with that? He said nothing....that it wasn't his first name that he didn't like. It was his first and middle name TOGETHER that he didn't like! :rotfl2:

I think that's cool. I can understand however, growing up with that could be an issue around the school yard. It's only during our second childhood do we grow to appreciate stuff like that.

[tink6137130]

Good news for me today! I received an email bright & early today at work…my BWV passed ROFR! :yay:

They said to be patient because this is a very busy time for Disney & they may be behind getting the information to the title company. :rolleyes1

[tammymacb]

Excellent news! Join us in sharing closing stories.

Have you gotten a closing date yet?

I'm thinking there will be a wave of folks off the "waiting" list this week!

BWV- here we come! :cool1:

[tink6137130]

I haven’t been given a closing date yet….this is a quote from the email “At this point in time we are waiting to receive estoppels from Disney, which take about 2-3 weeks to arrive. Once the estoppels are received, the title company will send out the closing documents. At that point all funds will be due. I will keep you posted as we continue through with this process.”

Not sure what estoppels are??? :confused:

[tammymacb]

That makes two of us..:confused3

I had the opportunity to ask Nancy today, and forgot to.

BTW, I did call today to see if I could move up my closing date. Just like I expected, the date can't be guarenteed. Well, at least I tried.

Well the DVCJuneUYBWV50ptContractThatIsn'tStripped is my oyster...now I just need to find the pearl...:rolleyes1

Congratulation! That's great news. I saw where you wrote your stuff went in on the 21st of February, so if things go in any kind of an order I have to be getting close here! I am happy for you and I will now remove you from the list. Once again the rest of us would like you to check in on us every now and then as we need your support.

Thank you! I'm not sure if all the contracts work this way but I actually signed the contract & faxed back early 2-14-08 am...for some reason I decided to call & ask when it was sent to Disney. That's when I found out it went a week later.

[dizney4us]

This is our first, hopefully first, purchase. We go to WDW pretty much every year since new years 1999/2000 (now that was a crowd). We have stayed at all the moderates at least once along with Wilderness Lodge. We have been toying with the idea of buying for a long time, took the tours talked to people who own and even people who didn't like the experience and sold their DVC points. We finally find ourselves in the position to take the plunge. How about you? You own already or a first timer?

We bought at SSR last year, and we love it there. We originally thought about adding on more points there, but we love BWV's too, and I loved the idea of owning a both locations...hopefully, we will!!:)

[llmurphy17]

Well after reading the thread "rofr section II" I decided to call TTS to change my price per point from $65 to $67 for HHI. Hopefully this will work better. The seller was thrilled and signed the new contract immediately. TTS sent the contract to disney today to begin the rofr process. They told me it could be 30 days. :scared: So I guess my official waiting starts today. :sad2: popcorn::

[tammymacb]

Good luck to everyone ....My guess is Wednesday will be a good day..

BTW, I for one, love this thread:goodvibes

[disneymotherof3]

Good morning all my fellow DVCer's in waiting! How's everyone holding up? Let's get a question going to help pass the time!

Since our "homes" or "soon to be homes" have a full kitchen in them, are you more likely to eat in the room or still eat out?

For us, we're still planning on eating out quite a bit when we make our next trip. Even though they've changed it, we're still planning on doing the DDP. We are going to eat in a couple night though. Probably something easy like spaghetti.

How about you?

Let's hope we have some more good news today!:thumbsup2

Well, for us it's mostly breakfast in room, unless we have a character meal planned, then lunch in the parks and diner in the parks or resort restaurant. We are on vacation, why cook? I think it will come in handy for late light snacks and stuff like that but it really wont be used as much as we could. Now once the kids are a little older and off doing their own thing a little more maybe we will utilize the kitchen a little more.

PS. Where is Tammy this morning I don't feel right without a "morning sunshines" from her.

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

My answer to todays question is: I don't cook at home and I'm sure not cooking on vacation. :lmao:

I will often take advantage of the low point #s and stay in studios, I run to Super Walmart for cereal, milk, soda, beer, chips etc to have in the room. Meals ( except breakfast ) are elsewhere. ( Especially since I'm walking distance to the Rose and Crown Fishwagon :thumbsup2 ) I do wish that the studios had toasters...I actually looked at the price of those ( storage boxes :confused3 ) you can rent and keep stuff at WDW, but they were expensive! Even if my sister and I split the cost, I thought the price was crazy. So, I guess when I stay in a studio, my pop tarts will be microwaved..:rolleyes:

[tammymacb]

:lmao: Ed, we were posting at the same time...

[icouldlivethere]

I plan to stay mainly in studios and use the little kitchenette just for breakfast and snacks and possibly a quick lunch. Definitely not doing any real cooking on vacation. No way!!

OK my friends, I have an add on question I'd love your opinions on...

Currently if I add on at BWV ( I'm going to have to pay the $104 as my closing can't be guarenteed by April 9th ) I'd be on a waiting list. My plan is to get on a list as soon as I have a contract #. My guess would be mid-April. If BWV is unavailable until after June 1st, I'll lose the 2007 points that come with the contract.

I'm considering waitlisting for two properties. BWV AND BCV. From Disney, they'll be the same price, the location is my #1 concern and I'd still have a great location and I'd just do F&W at BCV and BWV alternating.

If I can't get either by June 1st. I'll probably go back to the resale market as those 2007 points will only be available there(banked).

Questions? Comments?

...After I read that, I checked my notes, and my DVC also passed ROFR...on a Friday (February 1st.)

I'm still waiting to close...waiting...waiting...waiting...

OK, we closed!!!! I got an mail from Jason at The Timeshare Store today!!!!

I'm so happy that the waiting game is over for us, but I'll continue to send :goodvibes to all of you!!!

Ironically, I can't find the original message I posted in this thread, that gave the dates things happened in our deal. (Am I just confused or did it get deleted? Did I do something wrong? I'm feeling a little offended here and am curious what happened? No one told me anything! :confused3 )

Anyways, I though some of you might be interested. We went from passing ROFR to closing in 5 1/2 (long, long) weeks.

Best wishes to everyone here!

First congratulations. That's great. Second don't be offended, I don't think you posted first on this thread. There are a couple of ROFR threads and this is, I believe, the newest. The first post on here was only March 4 just 7 days ago. The other one which is much larger is the thread is titled "Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section II" and is in the "Operations" section of DVC boards. Good luck and once again Congratulations!

I did find that you posted #90 and #100 on this thread and that's all I could find.

Escape Artist- First of all Congrats! :thumbsup2 You know we're all jealous, right.

Second of all, we would never delete your thread ( and since none of us are mods, I don't think we'd be capable of doing it. )

We'd all actually be very interested in your dates as we'd have a reference for our own wait.. Don't be offended...we wouldn't do that.

To my peeps who are waiting, it's coming...I can feel it..! ;)

That's awesome!!! Congrats!!:cheer2: 5 1/2 weeks?!?! Now that's good!

[disneymotherof3]

Hey guys! There HAS to be some good news coming soon. I was looking at some posts on the other ROFR thread and there's been quite a few contracts that have passed over the last few days. MAYBE ;) those of you that are still waiting to hear could make a friendly phone call or send a nice e-mail to either TTS or Nancy to see if they might have any news.:angel: Hope you all wake up to some good news! :goodvibes

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines! :goodvibes

I was thinking the same thing as Cheryl. Ed, maybe you need to call Nancy and see if you have a closing date set yet..;)

I'll be back with a question of the day, as soon as I wake up and think of one. Unless someone else comes up with one first.

[HolidayRoad]

O.K. I Emailed Nancy and she has heard nothing as of yesterday on the ROFR front but I do have a closing day set, I guess this is assuming I get through ROFR. Now here's the weird part; the date is set for April 18th and that is the exact day we are leaving for Disney! A coincidence? I think not! I mean what are the odds we have this trip set for almost a year, decide in February that we will make a move on DVC and they happen on the same day?! So I Email her back and tell her of the situation. I guess she was less blown away by the incredible coincidence than my wife and I were but she did say that the paperwork would be sent out before then I didn't really need to be home on that date. So now I really want this to happen, I will be driving by TTS the day after the closing is supposed to happen so maybe I can pick up my gift basket then. Also, instead of sitting around for a week to ten days to be put into the system after we close, I'll be in WDW playing and buying up all the Boardwalk and DVC merchandise I can find!
So now, if Disney decides to exercise their ROFR. It will hurt on many levels! I'm freakin out!!!!

Your 100% right, I just went on the other thread and people are passing ROFR and their contracts were submitted at the same time mine was, so now I am freaked. Up until now I could justify not hearing something because people had their contracts submitted before mine so that only made sense. Now my mind is playing tricks on me, maybe they haven't told me because it takes longer if you get ROFR. Maybe they don't want to hurt my feelings so they are trying to find a nice way to tell me. I don't know.

I really think that if they set a closing date then you passed ( just my opinion). I am sure with the calls and e-mails Nancy will not be sharing anymore ROFR information. Good Luck I hope you hear soon.:goodvibes

[tammymacb]

It's funny, I keep watching for Ed to post that he passed ROFR, probably about as much as he checks his email.

Ed, I checked back to the big ROFR thread to compare your contract with others. I'd say that unless you offered around 80per point, I wouldn't worry at all. I paid 82PP for a 100 point contract and the smaller the contract, the more expensive the PP cost. So unless you really shot low...

How awesome is it that you can stop by TTS and get your paperwork! And what prey tell is the gift basket??? Inquiring minds want to know what we're getting!? :confused3

Tammy, thanks for the small heart attack. I did offer $80 a point. I didn't want to post it because for some weird reason I thought I would jinx myself. I know 80 is on the low side but I didn't know that when I offered and I saw other contracts that people were asking for 80 a point at the Boardwalk. Jerry at TTS told me at the time that he felt good it would pass ROFR because it was a clean contract with no banked points and I am paying all closing costs and maintenance fees. Now I wish I had went higher but by the time I realized that a couple of bucks higher and I would be all set it was too late and already in ROFR. I did see a couple that have passed basically exactly the same contract as mine so I don't know. Now you know why I have been so nerved up on if I will pass or not.

[tammymacb]

Opening mouth and inserting foot..:rolleyes:

I still think you passed, though, and haven't found out. I think it would be extremely ineffective to set closing dates for every contract that was sent in if 10% weren't going to happen. That's lost earnings for the closing folks who make money per closing.

I hope your right. I see two "Magicdad" and "epcotwanderer" that have passed on almost identical contracts within the past few weeks.
Then I see two "grumpynomore" and "mla973" that were ROFRed but there contracts were a little different "mla973" was only buying 50 points and from what I can tell Disney will go higher in price on ROFR on smaller point amounts, and "grumpynomore" was a couple of dollars higher but splitting the closing costs and it doesn't say anything about banked points or not. So I think your right it is on the edge it would have been worth it for stress relief if I had just gone $82 it's really not that much more money, I just didn't know this was going to be this way, live and learn.

[disneymotherof3]

Good morning everyone!

Ed - You should be fine!:thumbsup2 Don't worry. (I know that's easier said than done.) There are other contracts that passed that have more stuff than yours or are the same. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!! I have faith!:thumbsup2

150 BWV (Dec) $80, 75 '06 pts, all '07 pts, buyer pays closing, buyer pays '08 mf (passed 2/25)
150 BWV (Apr) $80, all '08 pts, buyer pays closing and '08 mf (sub 1/24, passed 2/26)

Try not to stress yourself out and let your mind play tricks on you. As for your closing date, look at it this way, you might be able to just walk right over there and make your first reservation while your there on your trip!! :lmao:

You can't really compare those to your contract. The only one that you could really compare is the one from Mommacat. The other ones are from almost a year ago. When we were looking into buying, someone told me to ONLY look at the ones that were from the past 2-3 months. So the older ones really don't give you an idea of how things are going. Like I said before, I think you'll be fine. And I'm right there with Tammy! I keep checking to see if you've passed too! :rotfl2:

Honestly, it may sound silly but besides my wife, who has also drank the cool-aid, there is nowhere or nobody else to sound off against. People on this thread especially Tammy and yourself have been great. Since you just passed you know what it is like to be constantly checking and hoping, I'm sure that the others waiting, even if they don't post a lot like the idea there are people out there that can empathize with them. I know that in the grand scheme of things this is really not all that important, but it is stressful none the less. So Thanks!

Yeah baby! I've got to start counting and figure out when I can make my ressies!

I have a confession to make. Don't flame me, guys. But I am waiting on ROFR but not thru DVC. :sad2: We desperately want to get HHI every year, just the two of us. The cheaper option was another hotel ts company. (By half the cost) We made an offer and are waiting, waiting, waiting. It now appears that they will use their 30 days and not respond thus waiving ROFR. We only have until the 21st to get to that point. Our offer was for asking price which was rediculously low. I don't think it will pass. If it doesn't, DVC is our next option.

So, even though I am not waiting DVC ROFR, you have made my wait more enjoyable by seeing you guys get your contracts approved. I honestly don't know if I hope this one goes thru or not. I guess I don't really care since DVC is my next option.;) Hope you don't mind me lurking here and sharing in your excitement.

GET OUT!:mad: Just kidding.. I am not even waiting but this thread brings me back to the days when I was. You guys think you are waiting long... I put my offer in on Halloween and did not pass ROFR until January!!:headache: There were closing problems too! I was not in the system until Jan 27th. So that should make you guys feel a little better:rolleyes: . Anyway I own at HHI and I LOVE it.. but my disney addiction takes most of my points so I have only stayed in HH 1 night..:rolleyes1 . I can't wait to get back there someday though..

[Laxmom]

OMG! Do I feel better! That must have been an excruciating wait! Does DVC not include a clause in their contracts that limits their response time? I guess I just thought they all did that. I guess I hadn't really realized if they didn't because DVC seems to respond relatively quickly.

[HolidayRoad]

Ok, I have a question for you Disney Wizards while waiting for ROFR. I am browsing for a contract and I have come across contracts for, in particular, HHI that are listed for as little as $63 a point. Do they actually think they are going to pass ROFR at that price? I would think not. I have never seen any numbers to support anything that low. Is there more to this than I realize? Are they trying to get ROFR'd just to get out of a contract quickly? Just curious what you guys think. I don't think I could go thru this more than once!

Which leads to a question. How many tries have you made on other contracts to get thru ROFR before this one?

It all depends on the # of points if it is a full 150 point contract at 63 p/p I think it would pass( in my humble opinion:rolleyes: ), but I do not think it would pass if it was a small contract. I got my contract on the first
try. :goodvibes I wish tomorrow was Friday too!:rolleyes1

BTW- Do you think I should be offended that my wonderful sister ( Tammy) said I should change my name from dvcnewgirl to dvc old hag?:confused3

My contract went through ROFR on the first attempt. We'll see about the second..;)

This is our update. I posted on the got through ROFR thread. We had to cancel our offer. The contract was mis represented by the seller. The points were not right. they had a vacation planned and did not inform the agent. Disney caught it at the last minute!
Now we are back to step 1 with a great contract!
We are submitting to Disney hopefully tomorrow.
WE NEED SOME PIXIE DUST!!!
It is frustrating. But the contract we are hoping for now is really good. Also we had our doubts about the Dec. use year on the previous contract so I guess we will look at this as a sign.

[HolidayRoad]

I talked my wife into letting me call a day early :wizard: . I was told that they receive a "batch" in yesterday, however mine was not among them. He told me that the past couple of months were very busy and Disney is trying to get caught up. He also told me that I should hear by the 21st. The 21st is eight hundred thousand years away but I guess I have no choice but to come on here and constantly post stuff for at least another week. For those remaining in the support group, if you read this post I did say they received a BATCH yesterday if I were you I would be calling before I finished this post, good luck:thumbsup2 .

I'm there with ya, Ed. Our 30 days is up on the 21st. At this point, we believe the ts company is going to let that expire rather than come out and waive ROFR. There are times when the wait is managable and other times I want to bite my nails to the quick. Another week of this is really depressing.

Monami, I am truly sorry about your first contract but really pumped about the new one. That is a great find!!

Good luck everyone! Here's hoping tomorrow is your lucky day!!
