Welcome new ROFR waiters:grouphug:

Congrats on the hat trick!!:banana:

I di not watch last night but I am SHOCKED to hear Micheal Johns got voted off.:eek:

I am taking my daughter to Busch Gardens today, it is supposed to be beautiful out. I am getting there right at opening I am hoping to avoid the Friday crowds, so we are only going for a couple hours. TGIF!

QOTD: If you could where would you go first: DVC Hawaii, DVC California, Paris Disney, or Hong Kong Disney?

I can not wait to go to DVC Hawaii. I am so excited for it. I have never been to Hawaii and having a DVC with some great kids programs is going to be PERFECT!:goodvibes

GOOD MORNING!!!
One Week IN around 6 to 7 weeks to go, but who is counting. :rotfl:

I would consider getting a small number of points for the DVC California. My wife and I LOVE it out there.

That's an easy one for me............DVC Hawaii.............:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes
 

Oh, I almost forgot! DH was supposed to fly home last night. (I thought it was tonite!) He got stranded in Syracuse. The bad storms in the Chicago area kept his flight from leaving NY. He waited and waited - was supposed to leave at 5pm. At 9.00, they still weren't sure when he would get out and he had already missed his connection in Chicago. Sooooo......he rented a car and is driving. He said he would drive unitl he got to Cleveland and then stop for the night. He hopes to be home by lunch. And he was not flying AA! It was United.

I was surprised that Michael Johns went home, anyone else? It is getting tougher to figure now.

Hey, maybe you'll have a little extra time to air out the house - or DH will be too tired to sniff around very much - or he'll be too excited about Laxlad's game (:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 ) to think about why the house smells like we forgot to take the instruction manual out before turning on the toaster oven...or something like that.

In any case, welcome to M-I-C and Barb, and congrats, tink of the many numbers. And Tammy, it's gonna happen...it's gonna happen.

I thought all you guys were too bummed out to post last night, and it was just me and the bookworm. Didn't know it was an AI night. (I'm guessing that is the "Michael Johns" reference. Not familiar with that name.) I gave up too early, and everybody came out to play after I signed off!

By the time I get back to the boards, I will have a lot to catch up on! (If we hit 200 pages and get closed out while I'm gone, somebody pm me to let me know how to find us!) Heading to a family wedding this weekend, so some time with all the little grandbuds...then taking the oldest little fellow - he'll be 4 on the 29th - to see Mickey next week. Little guy must have ESP. No one has mentioned this trip to him, yet he has been talking on and on for days about all the things he wants to do next time he goes to Mickey's house, and saying he's going "soon."

I made an app't to tour SSR next Wednesday - talked to a nice lady named "Betty." (I've bought w/o seeing any of the DVC properties, in person.) If they were to offer good enough incentives between now and mid-summer, I would look at possibly doing my 2nd contract direct from Disney, as an add-on. I'm thinking the present incentives may not do it for me, though. Have to crunch the numbers.

Cheryl - monami and I are anxious to see our names on the waiting to close list. Have you updated, lately?

Hope everyone has a wonderful week, and that Jax has a shiny new contract in the works by the time I get back on the boards. God bless everybody.

Jerry
 
Thanks to everyone for your pep talk. Don't worry DH and I are not giving up. The right contract is out there.

I have a girls only Mother's Day trip planned for all the moms and daughters in my family coming up in 2-bedroom at BWV in May. Never stayed there & I'm so excited :dance3: to try it. We will take that opportunity to check out BWV and maybe decide to try & buy there.

Usually things work out for the best and I'm convinced that's what will happen with DVC. We'll be back in the pool before you know it.:woohoo:
 
Jax...keep the faith...I too question why you were the one. My contract was LOADED and we got thru at 78. Very interesting...

Barb and M-I-C-K-E-Y welcome aboard the SS ROFR...it's quite a ship! :thumbsup2

Laxmom...did anyone throw any hats on the field???

Tink...I so desire to be in your shoes! Just learned from ******** that the sellers just overnighted their signed papers yesterday so my hope to close today appears slim...probably now Monday as planned...:sad2:

Grandbuddy...have fun with the fam! And enjoy Mickey and Minnie and company! I promise to PM you with details should we move...that is if someone tells me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QOTD...how about around the world in 80 days. Really I would likely combine Hawaii and CA on the return into an extended trip. At some point absolutely catch them all.

Now that I'm caught up...just checked in on the John vote tally...26,174. He's up by more than 18,000 votes!

pixiedust: for all my friends...!
 
Grandbuddy, kids are amazing! You are going to have such a wonderful time.:cloud9:
 
I like this, all the new blood on the thread. Welcome all, over here pixie dust is not only allowed but encouraged and everyone generally likes each other. You are now amongst friends, hope we help make the ROFR roller coaster ride a little smoother!

I'm glad you said first because I would like to see them all but some of those are a really long :drive: even with the family truckster. I would like to see the original Disneyland so for me DVC California would be first.

I would have to say either Hawaii or Paris. DH was talking about taking DD14 to Disneylane Paris as a surprise for her 16th B-day. We'll have to see about that one.
 
Well, with Verizon I get all that free web-space to play with, I was using it for football the past few years but I have decided to change it up a bit and throw together a little Disney Site with a trip blog. I stole most of the pics off the Internet somewhere that I used. I figure I'm not using it for a profit so nobody should get too upset. My IT expertise is not the Internet so if anyone knows about web design and the rules that govern it please let me know if I'm violating anything. I generally just right click on o picture I like and save it, so I don't even know where a lot of them came from. Anyway, it still very primitive and under construction but I thought I would run it by you people, let me know what you think. Thanks

Ed it looks great!! I signed your guestbook too!:thumbsup2
 
QOTD

DVC Hawaii first for me, one of the reasons I decided to buy in, hope they have an equivalent to magical express to both the airport and the ferry. Fly in stay a couple of days at DVC hop the ferry to the big island for a week (our usual destination, brother has a Kona Coast TS) then ferry to Maui or Kauai for a couple of days then back to DVC to finish out. A few years off but I can dream can’t I?
