ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I love me some stuffy old lady resorts as well!

But mostly I'm all about location and contract length.

If I can only access the parks via buses from your resort, I'm out.
If the contract expires in 20 years and the prices don't make any sense relative to that fact, I'm out.
If your resort only offers studios, I'm out.

Which pretty much just leaves the stuffy old lady resorts and BLT!

My body may be older, but my mind and actions are not...let's just say I bring a whole new meaning to the term "old lady resort"!!! LOL

I just got the same response from mine as well. Pretty much said all but the exact words. Said he will call me in the morning.

It's still so weird to me that they are telling us to wait until tomorrow... I wonder if there is going to be some sort of add-on deal for current owners. Otherwise you'd think they'd be trying to get the paperwork done today... mixed signals, I can't decide what I think lol

Ma'am this is a family site.

Good luck for you. I had a $140pp that went to ROFR on 3/3 and it was scarfed up 2 weeks later. Maybe they are reading this thread and don't like us. Easy enough to match us up to our contracts LOL..... Quick, where is my tin foil hat LOL

I have a SSR at $142 in ROFR and I’m not feeling optimistic. Grrrr

 

[bewithmickey]

Whoa! I take a morning off from the board and miss all kinds of stuff. I might as well say Bye-Bye to my $125 OKW contract I'm waiting on ....

I know the day before VGF went on sale, I did tell me guide I wanted to lock in the BLT price, just in case VGF didn't come out where I wanted it to. He then asked me if I was going with VGF if it was cheaper, and when I said yes, he said, "I am going to save you the time...wait and you will be thrilled when I call you tomorrow." Sure enough, I was!!!!

But, since you already have a guide, they are not allowed to really deal with you unless you submit paperwork to DVC telling them you want to switch. So, it could be why he said to call and leave a message so that you have proof that you tried to purchase before an increase and they will lock you into the price regardless.

I’m feeling the same about my $125 SSR

Whoops...you started it!!!

 

[HIRyeDVC]

Yah but it stink like fish tho.

If you're hang out in the lobby all day then yes. The same goes for Beach Club. But who does that?

Ok, I'll bite.... what are the stuffy, old lady resorts? Because based on your three-item litmus test above, I think I'm that, too.... LOL

I'm assuming it's VGF and Riviera! Which are the only resorts I have owned.

 

[Ruttangel]

Very true...and I do not like animals in the least..

Ive got bad news to tell you about Mickey, Donald and Minnie

whew. I own the bottom half. though, I feel BLT should fall below BRV and CCV.

 

[Lakesideturtle]

I’m so sorry I finally got one on my 3rd try.

So sorry to hear that. I'd of that that one was safe at that price....

Looks like this is all you and I have to do while we wait for the ROFR monster on those SSR contracts! Of course, it does not matter as much for me since my check is going right back into Disney's pocket regardless!

If all contracts had the same expiration date... my preferences in order would be

1. Grand Floridian
2. Boardwalk
3. Beach Club
4. Riviera
5. Bay Lake Tower

I don't think I would even consider any of the other ones. Even though I do love the Animal Kingdom resort.

Where do I go to pick up my old lady card?

My primary purpose on Disboards is to gatekeep the ROFR thread from people who don't have a sense of humor.

I'm rooting for you, but they have been ruthless lately.
