The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

Good morning all! Day one of my 4 day weekend!! Whoo Hoo! Got a final paper to write and a new class starts Monday. Lots to do.

Gotta get Laxlad out the door and on the bus! TTFN. Have a great day!

Good Morning Sunshines..

Today I'm working at MedU and I'd almost rather pull out my toenails I am so over working all the time.

I am SO not going to add more points any time soon.. I probably would have been more tempted by AKL ( only to book the concierge and value categories ) but the options there right now suck.

I hope you all ( and Kathy ) have your points today. I have to say ( told Kris on the phone ) my biggest reason for not wanting to switch the BCV contract to the BWV contract was switching sellers. From she who must not be named to time #2 with TTS when I felt my first experience was less than stellar, I knew I'd be setting myself up again. So, I've just decided that this time I won't expect much, and I won't be disappointed. That's a big problem with resale, you have to go with whoever has the contract you want..

 

[Laxmom]

Unless the contract is listed on the MLS. Have you ever noticed that there are some contracts that are listed in multiple place?

I have to admit that I am a little surpised at how much troubble wome of you are having considering all the positives I have heard about that group.

Okay - so is the online website as up to date as calling member services? Does anyone know?

ICLT - I understand your frustration - it is very hard waiting and waiting and waiting, but it seems there is still more.

I have heard it can take 10 days from the date your name is in the system to get your points not to expect any points prior to May 2 - that would go hand and hand with Minnie still waiting too so it seems like a long process for all of us and equally frustrating. We all want to book. That first week in December is the week I want to go to, unless my college DD plans to go, then it would be the 14th - 19th otherwise the 30th - the 5th is what I want to do at OKW. I am excited, but on pins and needles waiting as well.

 

[Laxmom]

I am so sorry that you guys are having so much trouble. There are others who got in the system quicker than this; did they buy someplace else? Anybody know?

I sure hope today is your lucky day!!

Shontell and I worked well together though I will say that I often initiated conversation via email or phone...I have a problem with wanting to talk too much...now I type! It may have taken a day for her to get back to me but she did. And it's just like in my biz...there's a comfort level that you have because it does become so personal buying a home. Hard much more difficult is that in a phone conversation or two and exchanging a couple of emails. There's a lot to be said for being able to look someone in the eye when conducting business!

MS has told me that when they have the info it is also available on line...we'll see.

After all this waiting it is hard to exercise the patience but we all knew that going into the resale world...it's hard to "chillax" as my mouseketeers now tell me but it helps keep the passion going, too! And Tig...I'm hoping that we do a return over the New Year as well. I so want to see that lights.

120 Days and counting...15 hrs 2 min til first trip home...

from my DVC home page:

"We are currently unable to access your Disney Vacation Club Membership information while we perform scheduled system activities."

Could this be the magic moment.................

 

[Laxmom]

I think, at least for me, I thought that the ROFR wait was going to be the worst. I think waiting for points and to be in the system must be worse; at that point you are so close you can almost taste it! I can only imagine but hope to experience it soon...I think.

Hey, I almost forgot!! This evening I am being inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda. It is a national honor society for adult learners and means that I am in the top 10%. Didn't know you were chatting with a brainiac did ya!? Well, neither did I!!!

I got that too and was so hopeful --- wasn't the magic moment for me but sure hope it is for you

Please don't hate me but after 9 days I am in the system with all of my points.

 

[Laxmom]

We could not ever hate you!! I am just trying to figure out why some are having so many troubles. My brain wants to make sense of it.

Who did you all buy thru?

 

[GoofyDad13]

Please don't hate me but after 9 days I am in the system with all of my points.

Congrats! Minnie I hope you get yours soon. Amazing to hear about some of things that are happening. You would think if someone is on vacation, someone checks their mail, etc., at least that is what is expected where I work.

Also congrats to all who got good news. It is amazing, you miss a day and you are pages behind. It has been a week since we sent in our closing papers and payment, hoping for some good news soon, especially with the wait to get in the system and get points. Like others, Hoping to get something around New Years (Dec 27th or 28th to Jan 2).

Lastly, Go Steelers. Both parents grew up outside Pittsburgh. Grew up in chicago area, but was a Bucs and Steelers fan. I still have my Iron City beer cans with the world champion Steelers on them.

They always say the squeaky wheel gets the oil, but then the rest in line get bumped while they do the oiling.

I am happy for you, don't get me wrong - but poor Minnie - he has been waiting over a week.

 

[Laxmom]

OMG!!!!! I just got an email from our closing company in SC!! We are scheduled to close on May 13th!!! My contracts didn't have any date on them so this is the first date I have been given!! I guess we are making progress. Hope they get those wheels oiled before we get there!!

Congratulations!!! I'm glad you have a date to look forward to now!!

 

[Laxmom]

Me too!! I don't know why but I didn't expect a closing company in SC. Makes sense. DUH! I just figured we would get our closing docs in about 2 weeks and then close. That is Mother's Day week!! Happy Mother's Day to me!!!

Good Morning all... we are 16 days in of waiting for the estoppel...I think this is way worse than ROFR....and from what I can tell it only gets better (HA)!
Hope you all have a fantastic day!

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks, Amy. I am getting my BSBA. I graduate in 1 year.

How are the kids? Back to normal, I hope.

Congrats on your induction into Alpha Sigma Lambda!!

Are you taking online classes? I dropped out of college when I got pregnant with our first child and never went back. I had less than a year to go on a double major in business and math. I thought about going back many times but never did.

Unless DVC needs OKW (aug) for inventory you should be all right. You have about 69 more points than the one that just passed for me (april) at 68. Even if you allow $10/pt you are still in the $70/pt equivalent. Mine made it through in 7 working days.

Thanks - that is good to know. I am working with Jaki and ****. They seem to be really on the ball and I am confident they wouldn't steer me wrong

Thank you SO much! Me being worked up is rather silly, because all I'm going to do is bank this year's points, but I am really excited. I told you guys that I bought sight unseen at VB, but we LOVE the beach. It doesn't get much better than being able to go to the beach and then to WDW! All I can say is I hope I like it!

It is understandable to be worked up. I can't wait to hear what you think of VB! We are thinking of a trip there in 2010.

Good for you! You should be very proud of yourself!
