Good luck to you!

Congrats to Kmhollis, colonialtinker, GoofyDad13 on passing!

I don't want to jinx anybody here but I'm beginning to wonder if Disney is buying anything back right now.

My favorite place to stay up until now has been the cabins at Fort Wilderness. I'm hoping BWV will be my new favorite place to stay.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THAT PASSED ROFR
Now on to the next waiting list, which isn't as stressful but you sure are just as anxious.

It took us 14 days - from the day we emailed the signed contracts until the day we got word that we passed ROFR. We are praying that the closing moves along just as nicely.

I LOVE the wilderness cabins. We stayed there last time we went and it was great. We have since added another one to the family and therefore have really out grown it. With 5 is tight but comfortable, with 6 it will just be too small, plus, the thought of a 2 bedroom GV in OKW is just so welcoming that we can't wait to go "home"!!!!!

Group hug to all of you still waiting on ROFR You will soon join us

Good Morning Sunshines!

Congratulations Colonialtinker and Goofydad on passing ROFR ( I really hope I didn't miss any others and if I did, I'm sorry ). Today's Friday, and I think it will be a good day.

Now for the waiting to close part- think I've been waiting for my closing paperwork as long as I waited for ROFR..

Ed, I showed DH the clown pool last night. It scared him. He's been to BWV but not stayed there before. He'd never seen it...

Where oh where have my closing papers gone, oh where oh where can they be???

OK todays question: You get up early, set your alarm and rock on down to Disney to get on the first ride you're taking on your trip...
Which do you go to?
My answer is Soarin

Tammy - I don't know how you do it, I would be emailing and calling them all of the time. Who is your rep? The 7th is coming quickly so I sure hope you get them soon!

 

[HolidayRoad]

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.

Heidi

Your time has got to be coming soon, you figure they would at least try to make an effort to speed things up a little after what happened. It doesn't look that way though. We're all pulling for you. Wont be long now.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Welcome clombardi, believe me this helps take a little anxiety off. The good news is nobody on this list has been ROFRed as of this time. It's a good luck thread.

ROFR is a four letter word.

 

[Laxmom]

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!

Those pubs are why I didn't graduate at Ohio State!!

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!

I'd be crying for joy too! My DS has a clown phobia; mine is dentists!! I have to have nitrous for even minor things!

I thought I could make it through the wait without joining the support group, but I just can't do it! I need a hug!

Welcome Aboard!! Where are you buying?

:I don't want to jinx anybody here but I'm beginning to wonder if Disney is buying anything back right now.

From your lips to Gods ears!! I have been watching and I haven't seen anything not passing as of late. Here is hoping for everyone that DVD would rather be selling the new properties than buying ours!!

Good Morning Sunshines!

Ed, I showed DH the clown pool last night. It scared him. He's been to BWV but not stayed there before. He'd never seen it...

I'm telling you...that thing bothers me and I am not the one with the clown phobia.

Where oh where have my closing papers gone, oh where oh where can they be???

Tammy, have you checked in with your peeps? I would be calling and saying, "I'm just checkin in because ....I need those docs!!!!!!"

OK todays question: You get up early, set your alarm and rock on down to Disney to get on the first ride you're taking on your trip...
Which do you go to....

Well, I have not done Soarin. We haven't been there since '01 folks!! Been to Hawaii, Aruba, Mexico, California, Williamsburg, and my beloved HHI but have not done Soarin.

My answer would be easy peasy.......Rockin' Roller Coaster!!! if MGM and Big Thunder Mountain if MK and....and......don't laugh.....It's Tough to be a Bug at AK. I know, I know. I love that show!!!

 

[Laxmom]

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.

Sure!! You can all come!! Mine is next June. I am not waiting on him; I've waited 23 years!! I did just get some cool news. I have been accepted into Alpha Sigma Lambda which is a national honor society for adult learners. It means that I am in the top 10% of my university and have above a 3.8 GPA. Not bad for the ole girl!!!

My DS has to start over with his General Ed requirements. He was studying to be a children's pastor. The Christian college that he attended did not require math, science or english. He is basically starting over which is discouraging after 2 years. I sure hope and pray that he stays with it. He has at least 4 years probably 5 to go.

 

[icouldlivethere]

Where oh where have my closing papers gone, oh where oh where can they be???

It takes 3 - 4 weeks to get your closing papers. We passed ROFR on Feb. 14th and we got the email with our closing papers on March 10th. If you passed ROFR on March 5th I would think you would have your closing papers sometime in the next week.

Good Morning Sunshines!


OK todays question: You get up early, set your alarm and rock on down to Disney to get on the first ride you're taking on your trip...
Which do you go to?
My answer is Soarin

O.K. Soarin freaks me out, I go on it because my wife and kids like it but I white knuckle it the whole ride.

Now don't laugh at me, mine would be Peter Pan's Flight. I don't want to grow up and I don't have to in WDW. I believe while my family and I are on WDW property nobody ages and I can keep my kids young for as long as we're there. WDW is Never Land and I am Peter Pan even if it's just for a little while, that's why I pick Peter Pan's Flight.

Very well said. How cool!

That means that the commercials are about you, ED! Your'e the guy that is ridin' with his son and you see him as another little boy until he passes a window and it's Dad!

I like to think so! I even announce it to my family when it comes on, my DD will say "there's daddy". I even had to look up the song they play on that commercial. I took me a while but if anyone is interested the song is Time Machine by Click Five. You can hear it on "you tube". I don't know why people say I have issues?

Way to Go Laxmom

OK todays question: You get up early, set your alarm and rock on down to Disney to get on the first ride you're taking on your trip...

My answer is Soarin

I'm with you, Soarin is awesome. DH loves Tower of Teror, but I just can't enjoy that "rubber band" ride. DD is all about the Rock N Roller Coaster.

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Okay - I am another soarin fan. We waited in line almost three hours to ride that ride. It was great. This years trip to WDW will be tricky because I have a 2 year old now - my other kids are 10 and over so I have to find a balance there. Anyone else in that same boat with the age gaps?

 

[HolidayRoad]

Three weeks from today I will be in the family truckster heading south, about right now I will be entering Pennsylvania. Staying in Dunn NC that first night, then it's on the WDW!!!!

20 days 20 hours 4 minutes 7 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Laxmom]

I got off Tower of Terror crying like a baby. No one told me it would drop you multiple times. I was holding on to my DS, 17 at the time, for dear life. He told his Dad that next time he (Dad) gets to sit next to me. I told him there will never be a next time!!!

My boys are 7 years apart. Since they are the same gender, it was difficult to keep the younger one interested in his age things and not want to do the things his older brother did. So now, the younger one is, in may ways, more mature than the older one. It was difficult when they were little; a juggling act. But they have never had knock down drag out fights and are best buds.
When we did an amusement park for the first time, the youngest was 7 and couldn't ride the rides that the older one wanted to because of height restrictions. DH would ride with the older and the youngest and I would find something for him to ride at the same time and then we would meet back up. Now, guaranteed that amusement park was smaller than WDW but you could meet back up every couple of hours or so and trade off.

I'm anxious for that trip report!!

 

[tammymacb]

My youngest is 5 years younger than her brother. We've had multiple park trips where we ( DD and I ) go on the boring stuff while my DH "volunteers" to go on the regular rides with the older kids...

BTW, on my closing stuff, I have called Nancy. She hasn't had my estoppel returned from Disney yet.. Hence, the holdup on my paperwork. I asked her if my closing date would remain the same. She said it would, but unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to get lucky about closing early, like Chery did.
