The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

OK, folks, I'm angry right now.

Just got off the phone with TTS. According to Jason, my contract says I will close "on or before April 9th OR WITHIN 30 days of my estoppel being provided by Disney " So, at this point, there's no guarentee that I'll be closing before May.

That's not cool at all! Is anyone giving you a reason that the estopple would be held up. Not to rub it in but Cheryl's went through pretty quick while your contract is taking forever, someone should at least give you a reason why!

 

[tammymacb]

Nope, I was told they would email Disney today to see if there is a hold up?

The way it stands right now, if I pass BCV and BWV continues on its snail pace, I could close on both at the same time...

I know how upsetting this must have been to hear but try and relax and take a deep breath. Closing in May would be your worst case scenario. I really don't think that is going to happen.

If I remember correctly you passed ROFR on March 5th which means you are still in the 3 to 4 week window that they say it takes to get your final closing papers. We passed ROFR on Feb. 14th and got our final closing papers on March 10th. So don't panic. I really think you will get your final closing papers within the next few days.

Once you have your final closing papers along with your money order/cashiers check back to the closing company I think you will find that your closing will happen quickly. Probably around the April 9th date they originally gave you.

We just sent our paperwork back on Saturday because we knew we couldn't close before April 20th because of the current owners taking a trip in April. So you'll still probably close before us.

I wouldn't panic. I think things will work out. I really don't think you will be waiting until May. I think they were just giving you your worst case scenario to cover themselves.

I'm so sorry this is taking so long for you. Have you talked to Nancy yet? She told me the same thing about the estoppel. No offense to Jason, but I would talk to Nancy. She probably knows more about what's going on with each specific contract because, I believe, they contact her first. See if she can give you some exact dates on when stuff was submitted. She might even be able to contact Disney to see what the hold up is.

OK, boys and girls. BCV contract and check is in the mail.

I had Kristen call today to see what was available for the dates in June I planned my trip for. So far SSR is the only resort to have rooms ( which is fine ) but if they're sold out by the time I have a member #...oh it won't be pretty..

 

[disneymotherof3]

*Update*

I called to check and see if we were in the system yet. We got our membership number and our club ID! Our points aren't in there yet though. The person that I spoke to said that they should be in there by the end of the week. I was able to check availability though. The only thing that they had available for a 2-bdrm for the first part of our stay was SSR. They did have studios at OKW and AKV for the second part.

So I guess I'll be calling again to see when our points go in.

Tammy - Have you talked to Nancy yet?

 

[tammymacb]

Cheryl, I called Nancy today. She said that Disney has been way behind on getting estoppels back. There is one other person waiting to close that day and they don't have their paperwork yet either.

I hope your trip works out. As soon as you can make any ressie, get on a waiting list and hope for the best. My waiting list did come through for May and I have a BW view studio!

I'll be happy with SSR, I've heard it's beatiful and we're doing a week of Seaworld, Discovery Cove and the new waterpark anyway. So, we'll be driving. All I really care is that *everything* isn't sold out by the time I have a #.

BTW, I had a really hard time deciding, a June OKW came available the same time the June BCV did. I really really like OKW and was very close to adding on there. It was the extra banked BCV points that really pushed me to that contract. I'll be visiting OKW lots, though.

You know I figured once you get through ROFR your all set, just tie together a few loose ends and your in. I'm starting to think they make this whole process a pain in the butt so people just pay the extra money and buy through Disney! Seeing what your going through I'm starting to get worried again. I'm going to Disney on the day I'm supposed to close, now I'm starting to think that if what happened to you, happens to me I may not be around when they need the paperwork back, if things gets delayed. OMG it's starting all over again!!!

In a way I think you're exactly right! I was very seriously considering doing my add on through Disney, even though it was more expensive for the ease. But the BCV contract was too perfect to pass up. I don't think that that contract will be as stressful, but right now, it's bad as I really want June ressies...

Hi Everyone
Our contract was sent to Disney for ROFR last Friday....so our 2-3 week wait has just started. We are boarder line on our offer, compared to most on this website...so I pray they accept it. We are first time buyers and very excited!

 

[tammymacb]

Congrats and good luck! Where are you trying to buy??

Hopefully they'll get it back soon and you can finish this up! Trust me.....as soon as our points are in the system, I will be making our reservation.

Like I said, the only 2-bdrms they have for the first part of our trip (8/18-23) is at SSR. She said that they did have OKW, but it was only for 8/21-23. We need the 2-bdrm because my mom and stepdad are joining us. We invited them for their anniversary. She did mention the waitlist and we'll probably get on it for OKW. As for the second part of our trip (after parents leave; 8/23-26), we might try to do a Savannah view Studio at AKV. That was available. I'll just have to wait and see what's there when we get our points.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of four letter words...beginning with ROFR! This thread for sure makes the waiting less painful!

Well, Tammy, you and I are in the same boat. Had DH call and check in since we were supposed to get a call when everything went to Disney and the sellers have not returned any of their paperwork yet! We got our contracts last Wed. and had them back in. I figured I'd give them an extra 24-36 hours because not everyone has a fax in their house, but no. Nada. Not a happy camper. So, the clock hasn't started ticking for us yet. We are in Limbo and I don't like it here. Believe it or not, I would rather be in ROFR land. This is adding frustration to an already frustrating frustration. I guess I am not the caboose any more....I didn't even catch the train yet.

Oh, I nearly forgot!! Congrats Princess Amy Lyn and welcome aboard but you need to give us more details on your contract. Like, what UY, if you got banked points. You know, the juicy stuff!! LOL We love to ooh and aahh over peoples contracts!

Our first four letter word is WAIT as we are now waiting to hear if the bid we made on a DVC resale this afternoon is accepted by the sellers.

Verandah Man, Welcome!

What resort have you made an offer on? I think I remember your screenname from the cruise forum. Are you on the Sept 1st 5 nite double dip??
