The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

You never know. Spaceshipearth just posted on the other ROFR thread that he passed in like 8 days!! I asked him who he knew!!

 

[Laxmom]

No it's a clown , it's fun!!!!

It's frightening. And it is spitting out children!

OK, I have been waiting to post this for days!!!!!!!!!! Was out of town and got the email on my moblile on Tuesday that we passed, but could not post as did not have regular internet access. We have not told the 2 DDs that we are buying DVC yet, and DW is a very patient woman who humors my obsession, so she just looked at me and said "I am very happy for you". So there I was celebrating by myself. But, since we were in New York, we HAD to make a trip to the world of Disney (I love the art of Disney section). I really had hoped they would have a DVC pin or something. I will tell the kids later this month, but we still haven't told them we are gong in August (Poly on bounceback special, telling them about that trip on Saturday at dinner).

And forget you all? Never, you all are why I stopped lurking. I just needed to read all the posts since Sunday, you guys have been busy. Oh, and get some work done this afternoon (flight last night cancelled).

ED, love the new avitar!

Congrats to all who are now in ROFR, waiting for contract, or BOTH. Ok, I am done rambling.

Oh yeah!!!

Ed, I thought for sure you would be watching NCAA.

My computer is in the family room, with my television, I can do both. To be honest, I like college hoops but I'm a football coach, so during football season is where everyone may see me fall off a bit. That is the main reason I can't take advantage of the great deals in WDW during the fall. Besides my faith and family my two big loves on this earth, disney and football. They have great disney/football t-shirts at "Team Mickey Athletic Club" in DD.

[Laxmom]

Congrats in person...sort of, Goofydad13!!!!

Come on Xavier!!!

I would be interested to calculate the average wait on ROFR on this thread. I am thinking 12 days or so but that is unofficial. What do you all think?

 

[GoofyDad13]

Thanks, Good Luck in Overtime.

 

[minniekissedme]

I hate when work gets in the way of chatting...I missed another good day. Though it keeps the boss happy...especially now with DVC oh so close to reality.

Congrats goofydad13, colonialtinker, welcome to the next wait line!

I had no idea X and WVU were in OT...unplugged the laptop and now hanging on the big comfy couch...

No couch burning in Morgantown tonite!!!!!!!

 

[monami7]

Congratulations Everyone!!!

Now if we could just get through!!

I feel like we have been on that list forever!

We do have good news we sold (someone put an offer on and we have a contract) on our HHI contract today! This means more money for us to put towards the big SSR contract!! If it ever comes through!

It has been 2 weeks tomorrow since we switched to the new contract.

Laxmom, congratulations on your son returning to school! He's got the right stuff!

Kmhollis, colonialtinker, GoofyDad13 - congrats all on your ROFR. I am only on day 3 of my wait!

Favorite resort has to be OKW because of the laid back atmosphere, theming, landscaping and music - not to mention the size of the villas! But DH and I also enjoy hanging around Wilderness Lodge, Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs.

May I suggest a question of the day for tomorrow? If so, it would be:
What's round on the ends and hi in the middle?

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, I know that one!! Check out my avitar!

 

[minniekissedme]

Laxmom...my apologies for the snub on your DS returning to school...too much to take in after missing all day! Having said that...can I/we come to the dual graduation party?!?!?!?!?!?

On the subject of ROFR timeline...we submitted on 2/27 and ROFR was waived 3/17...19 days. Now we wait to get the check in the mail...10 days and counting.

 

[pb4ugo]

Oh, I know that one!! Check out my avitar!

That's what reminded me - grew up singin' that in my house since Dad was an OSU grad - I think he paid for school with his tips from working in the pubs!

Congratulations to those who have passed!!!

Loved the picture of the clown pool.

We are on day 10 since overnighting our contract.

We haven't told our kids yet..We usually try to surprise them with a Disney trip. They never know when one is coming. The last time we told them that they had dental appointments and we were checking them out early from school. We went to pick them up from school with all the luggage packed in the car ready to go straight to the airport. We told them we were GOING TO DISNEYWORLD! They were literally crying for joy. Now, everytime that I check them out of school early for an actual dental appointment, they ask me if they are going to Disney. We will have to be more creative next time with the surprise. Planning the surprise was as much fun as the trip!
