ROFR Thread July to Sept 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

ROFR Day 63 (or 30): I didn’t send the email. It was good to vent and get it out and I will definitely be sending something in the way of a review on my experience but not today.
Still no word, they still have my money. Shall we start taking over/under bets on my final answer date? Not for money cause we all know what we actually spend it on, maybe for bragging rights? Although, I don’t know if it’s anything to brag on

I’m going for the 8th! But I hope it is sooner.

The 8th would be exactly 70 days. 10 weeks, nice round numbers for my misery.

Hope you’re having a good time! I also think you’ll love Aulani!

I think you're right. We will likely love Aulani once covid has passed and things reopen. We are having a great time. Interested to see how BWV turns out. So far the rooms suck compared to BLT, I could understand liking the studios here but the 2bdrm/1bdrm is not even close to as good. I have always appreciated your perspective and input. While I decided to get the contract for SAP many other people, including yourself, have provided a lot of great info.

Have you tried any interesting or fun restaurants? WDW is filled with them!

Okay, I like the optimism here. Not many pass on weekends but I will take it.

I was going for September 3rd, but Suzabella got it before me. I really hope you hear you passed today, but went for Sat. since they might try to clear the desks before Labor Day.

Pixie dust. Never use the “t” word on this thread.

I remember reading recently that most contracts pass on day 22 or 26. I'm on day 29 and just starting to pull my hair out. I am realizing what a saint Jen is for hanging on as long as she has. I'm reassuring myself that it's taking longer because they're doing estoppel and ROFR at the same time.. if they were going to reject me, I probably would have heard already... at least that's what I keep telling myself.

I also still get nightmares about the 160 points on that contract that expire 9/30/21. If I finally pass, I think I need to pour out a glass for those lost points- gone too soon.

 

[Ginamarie]

And no sooner did I write my post than... we passed!!!

Ginamarie---$135-$23716-160-AKV-Oct-160/20, 320/21, 160/22- sent 8/4, passed 9/2

And I swear this is the last contract I'm buying.... in 2021. Seriously, I have enough points for right now and enough to feel secure booking our 2 bed/1bed combo at Aulani next summer. Happy day!

That’s great! Congratulations.

I was told about the combined ROFR and estoppel a couple of days ago. The title company quoted me ~40 days to hear back. I’m still at the beginning (11th day), so not holding my breath yet.

 

[Jen0718]

I honestly don’t have high expectations at this point

Of course the "you passed ROFR" email from the broker said they expect estoppel to take 2-4 weeks, but I'm hoping that's old news and it will show up sooner rather than later. We are heading to WDW in about a week so I'd rather do everything on my end before we leave.

Congrats! This is starting to drive me bonkers (I know Jen's is WAY worse). I'm on day 34.................My broker told me yesterday I may need to expect 7-10 more days before knowing....ughhhh....

Fingers crossed for you- I keep thinking that if it takes longer it's usually good news!

 

[DaveNan]

When I went to rofr 27 days ago, I was expecting 5 weeks. Right now they seem to be 2 or 3 days under that. With Labor Day coming up…. I figure I will start the continual email refresh the middle of next week.

 

[DonMacGregor]

Thinking way back to the glory days of June, when ROFR was taking 21-22 days...LOL

Congratulations! We are hoping to be in Aulani next summer too!
I’m on day 38 for my BCV. Not sure what’s taking so long since they haven’t taken any BCV in over a year
