The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

hope they're having fun...

Actually, it has EVERYTHING to do with WDW and DVC the way I see it. It is all about the kids - all of it.

I concur and that's why we're all here, too! Well done Grandbuddy.

It's like family now...we'll go to Laxmom's double graduation, and spend the next week at WDW.

Ah, the crossing over ceremony. I remember it well. It is amazing how fast they grow. It still is amazing to me that my baby is married. And has been for 2 years. Wow. Whenever we travel without him, I always think of how much he would enjoy what we are doing. They just grow up too fast. That is the cool think about Disney. As someone put it aptly in an earlier thread, at least for a little while, we are all childrean again when there.

Grandbuddy, half those threads may be mine!!! My giddiness will subside someday.

Off to Louisville today. DS has a lacrosse play day with other teams from Tenn and KY. Then over to see Notre Dame play Bellarmine. Ed, you have scouts. We have lacrosse. Not sure what we will do with our extra time in 2 years when he graduates HS.

Sounds like a party plan for me - graduation and then WDW. We can use Minniekissedme's %@& points!!

Have a great day everybody. I will check in tonite.

 

[Laxmom]

Hey Monami!!

I've been wondering.....how many HHI points did you sell this week? Wouldn't it be weird if I was the one that you went under contract with? We did both go under contract at about the same time on the same property.

Good Morning Sunshines!

Two days of work starting today, then 5 more off...

I'll be faxing the contract back today, the check gets sent off Monday... and then we wait again.

I was doing a little bonding time with my 11 yo daughter last night. We watched an "America's Next Top Model" marathon... My nights are filled with such excitement.

OK, question of the day: Which DVC resort that you are not an owner of, will you visit first?

My answer would be HH ( on purpose ) but I'm taking a June trip with no ressies thus far ( as I still haven't closed ) so I'm sure I'm going to be heading for OKW or SS. Both are fine with me, though.

 

[minniekissedme]

that's easy...whatever one I can get for pre and post Memorial Day in two months which will be more like one month by the time at close and get in the system!

Laxmom...2 years, no kids, first you can join the DINK's club!! Then, can you say addonitis?

I bonded with the ROFR boys and trying to get my buddy John rolling. What a great first day. He's at 3,710 votes. Second has 899, third 765, fourth 397, fifth 367. Vote again today!!!

I have sent that link to everyone in my address book DIL is always golfing! MIL said he sent the link to all his golf buddies. I think he has a very good chance of winning I have already voted today.

Question of the day: Which DVC resort that you are not an owner of, will you visit first? AK & BWV, AK for DD8 and BWV for me

 

[GoofyDad13]

Sorry I missed the action last night. All well said, I remember my DDs crossing over from Brownies to Girl Scouts. I love the time with the kids at WDW.

Question of the day, AKV. AKL was the first resort we fell in love with, so would probably be our first non-home visit if we could get in (2009?). Scary part is as I have gone through this process I am thinking of vacations 3 years our and how I can do them, or more.

Question for others (not to highjack the thread) what is the Dis Dads Club?

Ed, thanks for the song name, but I think it is not the right song. I think the one form the commercials is Alright by Supergrass. I have downloaded both.

Tammy, congrats, but did I read your post correct? "Tammy now has all the points she needs" - Wow!

Congrats tink'smom2b!

GoofyDad13 here's the dad's thread... http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=24100897#post24100897

I think if you read thru it you'll know!!! Please do check out the "requirements" on page one. See how many you fulfill...

and remember to vote!!!

 

[HolidayRoad]

you're a good dad. It is sad to see them grow into little people all through their young lives. It's those special moments you remember oh so well. The really big bonus for me being in real estate is the flexibility I have with my schedule. I get to volunteer at school, I get to meet all their friends, I help in all their activities, I get to hug and kiss them every morning before they leave for school and I'm home when they get off the bus. Knowing that a whole lot of kids don't have this, I'm glad I do.

And I told my friend John today that his efforts are very humbling to me. I hope I can learn from him to become a better person, husband, and dad.

Here's a little for you...

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Thanks grandbuddy, and as an added bonus I now have my own Disney acronym. From now on I want to be know as HR.

Maybe a different commercial.

Here is the one I'm talking about.

Please let me know which one your talking about "the flying song" you mentioned I would like to see it.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Good Morning Sunshines!

OK, question of the day: Which DVC resort that you are not an owner of, will you visit first?

Mine would probably be HH also. My wife wants to head there during the summer, where we will be banking points we will have enough to do both HH and BWV. All I need is some fun stuff to with my family in that area. Tammy, you live down there, where are the sites? Is that near where the Prince of Tides stuff happened? That's one of my wife's favorite books! I've never read it.

 

[GoofyDad13]

Hey HR, looks like we are both right. Yours is the one with the mom and daughter and the Supergrass one is the commercial with the dad and son. I can't find it on you tube, but you will know it when you hear it.

So far as the "flying" song, it is the year of a million dreams song, in the WDW commercials. It is from the Peter Pan soundtrack, not the original animated one.

 

[Laxmom]

We're back! Bellarmine got smoked! 19 to 7. DS had an assist this morning. His first of the season. Boo Yeah!

Well, I am so touched that so many of you want to make my soon to be home resort your first nonhome stay. I am not sure where I want to stay yet. It is like walking up to the buffet at a restaurant; you need to size it up first!! I really don't know a whole lot about any of them and frankly, after looking on line, there isn't one that I wouldn't like to stay in. I do know, I want to try them all. If forced to say, I guess it would be VWL. It is just a cool place and it reminds me of HHI!

I did show my other son the picture of the clown at night and he was freaked out too. He said it reminded him of a horror flick from a few years back by Stephen King, "It".

I'm trying to figure out our trips, too. With our other ownership, we have 1 week on deposit with II that expires July 09, we also have our HHI week next summer and hopfully, our Disney points, 50 of which I have to use by Aug 09, and our cruise in Sept. I need more vacation time!

 

[HolidayRoad]

O.K. I need to buy 50 points at BCV. I've decided, now that Tammy did it that has inspired me, I though I would want more BWV points but I have changed my mind, here is the plan: One year we will use our BCV points and bank our BWV points then the next year we will use our BWV points and bank our BVC points. To start with we will only have 100 points to use at BCV year two after banking the first year but then the next year we will have 300 points at BWV some of those we can bank and use towards our BCV year so you see I have to have 50 points at BCV. I've lost my mind haven't I.

 

[Laxmom]

If you have, I have. That actually made sense to me. Now I'm worried.

 

[HolidayRoad]

I was going through the posts and realized that my post to you has somehow slipped off into cyberspace! I want to congratulate you on going back to school and being accepted to Lambda, Lambda, Lambda, the national honor society for adult learners (sorry couldn't help it). Seriously, congratulations, that's awesome . I really don't know what happened to my other post! What's your major?
