The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

I forgot to answer your question from earlier. If you extended by, I think, the end of Feb., then you paid $15 p/p. Now it's $25 p/p, I believe.

CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!!

Thanks, I can't believe it's over, my wife can't stop laughing at me, from "the incident" earlier in the car. I have a funny feeling I may not live this one down for a while. She keeps asking me if I called Tammy and Cheryl yet and then laughing and laughing. That's O.K. I passed ROFR! so nothing could really bother me now. Besides if the roles were reversed I would have a lot of fun at her expense so...

Thanks, your not far behind, your on the lucky thread, You'll be passing soon!

I still can't believe that you said that!!! Everytime I read about it, I crack up laughing! Isn't it funny how you get to "know" people on here? I'm just glad that we all have each other to talk to and lean on. Who else would understand our craziness???

Hi Everyone,

We put a contract in last weekend on SSR. It went to ROFR on 3/10 so we're trying to be patient. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! Congrats to everyone has gotten through!

I just got to tell you guys how much I am enjoying this thread! I am so excited for all of you that it has taken my mind off of my own wait! I am living vicariously thru you; someday I desperately want to own DVC and have since we toured 6 years ago. I guess, in a way, you all are educating me for future reference! I am anxious to see how the rest of your stories work out and what the heck estopple(s) is/are.

On a side note it has given me more time to think about where I want us to stay. What do you guys think. It will be DD (2) DD (3) DH and I. ...
By the way all 5 of us are going in 5 weeks so it is not our first trip! Alexei is my step daughter so she won't be able to go in January. Eventually we will go to all the DVC's. The plan is to go every January hitting a different one each time. So far we have been to AKV and OKW.

Anyone have an opinion? ...

Well, I don't have an opinion on *where* (since I haven't actually been to a DVC resort yet ), but I have advice on when!!!

While you have little ones, go as often as you can during the school year. I *really* miss the trips we used to take in early December, before my older kids got big enough that it was a problem to take them out of school. In late elementary school, it's a pain. In middle school, they start to rebel about missing school. In high school, it's impossible! And by college--three years from now for us--my dd will be gone!!!

Those toddler/preschool/early elementary school trips to Disney (for us, Disneyland) are so precious. Enjoy as many as you can, while you can!

...I will be driving to WDW on the day we close so I figure, first I will stop over at TTS and make sure we closed and then when we get to the Swan, where we are staying, I will take the wife and kids on that first night over in front of the boardwalk and watch the fireworks from Illuminations and get a couple of drinks give my wife a big kiss and toast our next 35 or so vacations!

That sounds so sweet and romantic!!!! What a lucky wife you have!

Congratulations again, and enjoy!!!

Just signed a contract this morning, and we agreed on $77.50 per point on a 60 point contract at OKW. I figure we're near the bottom of what would pass ROFR - please accept us into the support group. We really want this contract! The sellers were only asking $73 per point, but we offered more because we really wanted to get through.

Wow, I'm curious whether that will go thru. Was it a loaded contract?

For you, I hope it does!!!!!

My parents always took us out of school too as kids. We plan on going in Jan as long as we can get away with it. We don't mind taking them out. We have friends who teach at the school here and they say that as long as you do the work it really isn't a big deal. It would only be once a year. As they get older i.e. Junior high , high school. It really would be more difficult though. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Good Evening Sunshines!

I overslept this morning and had to run off to work without posting.

Good luck to our new "waiters", I'm sure I'll probably be on the list again in the near future..

 

[Metsoskil]

We really want to use the contract we're buying to "go home" in August. We're booked at the POP for 3 nights now, and we want to stay in a studio for 4 with our points with the DDP. It's been about 10 hours since we faxed back our signed contract, and DW and I have already had about 8 ROFR discussions. These next few weeks are going to be rough. (We've also had about 4 discussions about where we want to add on, even though we have no idea where that money is coming from).

Also, for Escape Artist, it was not a loaded contract. April UY, 60 pts coming this year and next. We really wanted an April or June UY since we tend to travel in Aug. because we are both teachers. We also really want to go down the week after Thanksgiving in the next few years for MVMCP and the parks decked out for the holidays. We have the advantage of both having the Monday after Thanksgiving off school (it's the first day of deer hunting season - yes, we live in the boonies )

Good Morning Sunshines!

I'm at work again. Hoping my day goes quickly.

For those still in ROFR, it won't be much longer...

For those who have passed...So far, no closing paperwork here. Can't be long now!

 

[colonialtinker]

Add me in on waiting for OKW ROFR. Sent contract off Friday.
