Wanted to post a funny story of something that just happened to me. As many of you know, and for those who don't, i am currently in ROFR with an OKW contract. It has now been 15 days, and at about 4:15 my cell phone rings and it is a 407 area code, so i figure here we go. I answer with the following statement, "UH-OH, this can't be good news", then i hear, "UH, UM, Can i speak to Michael please", i reply "this is michael", "oh hi michael this is so and so from member services and i have a question about your membership". My mind races , what could be the problem and why would MS call me about ROFR. CM then says "I was calling about your waitlist, it says that you waanted to cancel AKV but you already cancelled and are now at BWV. Well your BLT waitlist for NOV 16-19th has come through and i wanted to know if i should cancel BWV".......well of course i canceled and added my waitlist. So i dreaded answering my phone for fear of ROFR and it was actually great news as my Sister is staying at contemporary and that is why i planned the trip at all. Whew, day 15 ends with a bit of excitement but with no word from the bourbon swilling monkey

Now you got me worried, I've got a SSR contract that I was told went in June 1st and I haven't heard anything on it yet.

Doug, I think your contracts have to go through an extra step of ROFR. Good luck with this one!

C'mon Mike. Do you really think that Member Services would call you personally to tell you that they are stealing your contract? Maybe you shouldn't have been so brazen in your teasing of the monkey.

BTW, I am going silent until a decision has been made on my contract, i will still read but i am taking a vow of silence until i have news to share

Mike, this is the ultimate wimp out. You were all "Take that, monkey, I fear you not!" Now you're going silent. For shame.

Maybe they might give me a call if they steal my SSR contract, I feel like they probably know my name by now.

Hilarious. I fought tooth and nail for $58PP on my VWL contract down from $72PP anyway, was told my odds were not good to pass rofr. I laugh now hearing $53 and $55PP passed? congratsts you two.

I demand a re-offer lol.

I know this was an earlier post, but just got a decent Internet signal. I hear you, Nigel.

Happy for those who got great deals at VWL.

We sent a contract into Disney today. 300 HHI pts (Dec UY), 119 banked 2010, 4 banked for 2011, 300 2012pts. $45/pt buyer pays closing. We are crossing our fingers that it passes ROFR and that we can use the 2010 pts before they expire!

 

[mrsjef]

congrats! we also went on 6/6 but did not hear back yet! darn, another week to wait, hope ours comes back next tuesday

We're in the wait period for ROFR on an SSR 230 (Dec) for $60. (From what I'm reading here now, we should have offered even lower! Oh well...I'll just be happy when we're owners...and at a much better price than buying direct!!) Anyways...I saw this post and am wondering, do they only make the ROFR decisions on Tuesdays? We started the ROFR process on 6/15.

Ever since I started paying attention to it I believe disney has been informing of passing on ROFR on tuesdays. Not sure if they've exercised their right on other days but I'm sure someone whose contract was taken can help with that. Not sure if it's always been tuesdays but it has recently. Hope you hear back soon!

I believe it happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At least that is what the pattern looks like, I was notified on a Tuesday that I didn't pass but now have another one in, submitted same day as yours so hopefully we will both hear good news within the next few weeks. The first one I was notified 11 days after that it didn't pass, since I am past that now I am optimistic. Good Luck!!
