The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Verandah Man]

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??

We made an offer on a OKW resale for 50 points with a June UY. I've been wanting to get back into DVC, but we have to start out small and work our way up.....again.....


As far as the 9-1-08 sailing goes, no we had to cancel that cruise due to our DD starting Massage Therapy School. My DW and I are now booked for our 34th Wedding Anniversary Cruise on 10-24-09.........

Well I'm sorry you aren't joining us but I bet October will be beautiful!

Good luck with your OKW contract. It took me forever to find a June UY contract ( 50 points ) and I never saw yours. Good thing you saw it first..

Vernandah Man!!!!! Do you know my DH still has the card you sent him before our last cruise on his desk!! (Remember he hurt his back....blah, blah.)
It's great to see you on this thread!! How are your postcards and stamps holding up?

I knew, I knew, your username from somewhere, it was driving me crazy and yes, I remember sending your DH the DCL postcard!!!

I still have plenty of postcards and stamps, but thanks for asking.....

Just sitting here going through this thread, I'm only up to page #7......also, still waiting for a call, or e-mail, from our timeshare agent......

I got the listing in an e-mail from our timeshare agent and placed the offer before my DW even knew what happened. That's what she gets for not being home when the e-mail arrived............

When DW found out, she said, "OKW, I love that place!!!"

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!

Congratulations on the contract I will add you to the list.

Sorry, maybe I'm a little slow, wouldn't be the first time. Are you in ROFR if so I want to add you to list, for some reason I didn't think you were I must be screwed up. Let me know so can make the necessary corrections.

 

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, I'm sorry you're waiting on the sellers. Hopefully they'll pull it together quickly because the extra waiting is the worst...

Still no closing paperwork here...

Not yet Ed, still waiting to hear if our offer has been accepted by the seller. I'm hoping to hear something within the next day or so......

I just wanted to let you know I decided to play nice: I had this whole post worked out where I was going to say I talked to a friend in MS and was told Disney had placed a freeze on all estoppel's because of a scam that was being run and it was going to be another month until they released the freeze then at that point they were going to take care of estoppels that were purchased through Disney first then work their way to others. You know on account of April Fools Day . I then reread the last few pages and decided that would be really mean, funny but mean, plus my wife would have punched me, so I decided not to do it. I did figure it was a pretty cool plan so I had to at least share it.

I've been thinking about this so bear with me. I was looking at a little history on how long ROFR has taken since last fall. It seems as though there was a time late last year when it was not taking 2 weeks to get through. Then, after the holidays it went to 2 weeks. Now, I have seen a couple of contracts make it through in 1 week to 10 days. Here is my theory. It only makes sense that the backlog that was once ROFR has moved along in the process. That would explain why the backlog in estopple paperwork from Disney right now.

Of course, I have nothing to base this on other than theory but sometimes it helps if we can just make sense of the problem if only in our own minds. Just trying to help. It also passes the time.

Yeah, well HR, I had one too. I was gonna tell you that I had gotten my ROFR back and failed.....again. I would then edit the post and write "April Fools!" in the reason for editing spot. Of course, now I don't even have a contract to be waiting ROFR for until the sellers get their act together and fax back the paperwork!!!!!!!! If you are out there!!! Listen up! You listed your pts for sale now sell them!!! Sign, sign, sign!!!!

I'm ok now.

I am beginning to think that I am just not meant to get that getaway to HHI for us.

Ed thanks for the warning about April Fools. It sneaks up on me every year.

Laxmom, hang in there. Sending your way.

And a great big WELCOME to Verandah Man!!

O.K. Breathe - Deep Breaths - Deeeeep Breaths... I'd say find your happy place but that's probably WDW and that would just start the whole thing over again! See, now this is why I figured i wouldn't actually play the April Fools joke on this thread we're all a liiiiiiiitle to much on edge and since I'm completely neurotic myself, well you know, glass houses and stones...

Oh not me, I'm king of the dill-weeds running around wreaking havoc whenever possible tomorrow. Usually I end up with some people ticked at me for a while but it generally doesn't last too long.

Just received an e-mail from my agent letting me know she didn't hear back from the sellers today, so hopefully, we will hear something on April Fool's Day...........
