There are a lot of DIS'ers with more posts than me............;)

I would never have imagined I would want to spend as much time on a website as I am spending here. Guess I have serious addiction issues - but I just want to see what folks are saying now...and 15 minutes later...and, well, you know.

That's what I said five years ago.........:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

OK, my lunchtime is over and I need to get back to work, I'll check back in later..:wave2:

Oh yea, I'm now up to page #37..........;)
 
Great story, Tammy!!! I needed that.

Yesterday must have been my April Fools Day!! Maybe my body and mind forgot about leap year!!!

My sellers didn't need to have anything notorized; only witnessed at this point. The notarization comes later.

They aren't backing out of ROFR in my case because they haven't signed the contracts yet. Right now, I have nothing.

Here's hoping we find out one way or another today. If they are backing out, I hope that have the courtesy to tell our Agent.
 
Well, we've run the gamut. Cheryl was supposed to close on April 7th and she already has her membership number...She closed a week ago. I was supposed to close April 9th and haven't seen paperwork yet..:confused: I'm pretty disappointed at this point.

Ed, I'm sorry your date is also messed up. I think you'll be fine with your dates, though. You'll still be in the 11 month window AND it's not the cheapest points of the year ( Like the beginning of Dec ) I don't think you'll have much to worry about.

I, however, am seeing the June kids trip fade away. If I ever close, I'm sure everything will be sold out. As of yesterday only SSR was left.

I'm so sorry to hear about all the woes. Our ROFR took over 30 days but the closing went pretty smooth. The seller dragged it out on her end but we did threaten to back out if she didn't get the deed signed by our closing date. That lit a fire under her. She did get in.

Best of luck to all of you! I hope you all pass ROFR and/or close soon.

Thanks Tammy, I guess we'll see, it's just weird to me that they can be a month off on the closing date, after ROFR. I really do hope you get in somewhere for June. If not right away than at least after your wait-listed, especially since you don't sound like your going to be particularly picky about which one your staying at. I think you'll end up somewhere down there.
 
Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, can anyone tell me roughly how long it will take for closing. I would like to keep the money in my savings account until after the 19th of this money, another interest payment gets applied :)

Great April Fools Story Tammy :thumbsup2

I think it really varies from contract to contract. They tell you that it can take 3-4 weeks. Once you've passed ROFR, then you have to wait for Disney to send back the estoppel. Once that is done, then the closing paperwork can be done. Once that is sent out, it really depends on how long it takes the buyer and the seller to return their paperwork and check.

For us, we were apparently VERY lucky. We must have missed the "rush" of contracts waiting on the estoppels. The seller that we worked with was awesome! He returned things as quickly as we did!

I'm really hoping that you all that are waiting will have some good news soon!pixiedust:
 
After reading your posts I decided to Email Nancy and find out how my little estoppels thing is going. She informed me that she has not received anything from DVC yet and if she received it today, which is doubtful, I wouldn't close until May first. Realistically she thought we wouldn't close until the 16th or 17th of May I was originally told April 18th. My big plan was to have this all wrapped up before then because, as you know, it then takes another week to ten days to get into the system before you can book your vacation. My big plan was to book at exactly 11 months out starting on May 19th because that would be exactly 11 months from the first night we want to stay next year I really want a BW-Epcot view for my first trip "Home" and now I'm becoming concerned about that possibility. Does anyone know how fast those rooms book up? Will I still be able to get one even if it's a week or two past the eleven month to the day window? :confused3

I can feel for both of you. I didn't think it would be a big deal that we couldn't close until after April 20th when we purchased our contract because both my DS's are getting married this year and I knew we couldn't take a trip until later this year after both weddings are over.

I was hoping that the closing would take place quickly after the current owners finished their trip on April 20th so that I could get my name on a wait list for early December before the 7 month window opens up but after hearing what you are being told I'm beginning to wonder if that's going to happen.

I was hoping to take my second trip in March so I will miss the 11 month mark for that one also but am hoping something will still be available since it will still be well within the 11 month window.

I just hope I close and get in the system in time to bank my 2007 points before May 31st when my banking window ends.
 
I just found out I passed on my 2nd Boardwalk contract! :cool1: All the details are over on the other board. I'm supposed to close on this one by May 5th. :woohoo: :woohoo:

I waited to join the group because I didn't want to jinx you all since I got ROFR'd :sad2: last month on my 1st Boardwalk contract. You guys had a pretty good winning streak going and I didn't want the black cloud hanging over me :eek: to affect anyone else :confused3 .

I've been following along :surfweb: with the adventures of Tammy and Ed and Laxmom and everyone here since the thread was started and it was just killing me not to throw in my 2 cents (now inflated to a dollar :rotfl: )!

I'm also a nurse. I don't birth no babies (can't bear to be reminded of my own L & D of 3 boys by C-section..OUCH and all the screamin' and yellin'...), but I enjoy what I do. I'm a radiology nurse at a local hospital providing sedation services to adults and children who need some type of diagnostic imaging or invasive procedure :3dglasses (I love Versed and Fentanyl...aka Vitamin V and F in my world :laughing:) Better Living through Chemistry is my motto! :thumbsup2 I tell my patients that "what happens in Specials (special procedure department), stays in Specials", 'cause Versed can loosen lips and erase all memory of it! :scared1:

Anyway, I'm supposed to close tomorrow on a contract at the BCV, but there is a delay (like many of you mentioned) with the seller getting their docs back to Nancy by the contract's closing date. So, the closing will be closer to the end of the week and maybe next week. Can't wait to start planning stays at my 2 new homes! (OKW will always be my favorite though. I've been a DVC member since 1991 and that's always going to be my first home :love: ).
 
Congratulations mommacat56, I wished you joined us earlier. It's still nice to have you with us as someone who has just gone through the whole thing.

Thanks, I wish I did too! I already feel a great big group hug comin' on :grouphug:

And, Ed (or Al ;) !), your info says you're from MA. Whereabouts? Me too. I'm in Wilbraham...or Wilberville as we like to call it (my neighborhood is built on an old pig farm :lmao: ) It's just east of Springfield in western MA.

Hasn't this been an awful winter? Not a lot of snow, just started early and won't release its grip! I, for one, can't wait to go to WDW :goodvibes . My next trip is for New Years at OKW with my 3 sons who are all in college...OUCH, those tuition bills :scared1: And how long 'til your next roadtrip there? I set you up for that one. See, I have been following along!

Thanks all for the warm welcome...Mary :lovestruc

Gotta go get some homework done now.. Biochemistry (my fave...NOT!) :yay:
 
I waited to join the group because I didn't want to jinx you all since I got ROFR'd :sad2: last month on my 1st Boardwalk contract.

Congratulations this time around. And welcome back. Does your ROFR at Boardwalk show up on the "Who has/hasn't passed ROFR?" thread? I hadn't noticed any recent ROFRs on there, last few times I checked? Guess I'll go look, now.:surfweb:

Yep - just says ROFR 2008. I hear that contracts sometimes get ROFR'd when the buyer is not paying all closing costs. Don't know why that would have mattered. If yours had gone through, though, it would have been a beyond excellent buy on BWV!
 
Welcome mommacat, and congrats on your BWV contract! :)

I've been an L&D nurse for 15 years and that's about to change on 4/14. I took a job in the ER...

Well Mary, I'm from Peebidy (Peabody) 17 miles north of Boston. It is exactly 16 days 14 hours 13 minutes and 37 seconds until we pull outta here sideways!!
I know I'm going to sound stupid here (kind of a regular thing for me) Who's "AL"??

Yep, I'm there :sick: . Mommacat56...BWV (Feb) 180 points @ $79. I knew I was pushing the limit of Disney good will :laughing: , since it was a stripped contract that had no '08 points. The sellers jumped at the offer. I made the offer at 7 pm and we were under contract by 7:30 pm! I think they were happy with any offer as it had been listed way back in September of last year.

Anyway it's behind me now and I'm looking soooo forward to closing! :cool1:

Ed, thanks for the update.

All I have sent an email to Jaki to see if she has a feel for the esptoppel timetable. In my contract it estimated closing on April 26. I asked if she thought this was still realistic, and if any estoppels are coming through these days.

I will let you all know if I hear anything.

No, it's me whose a dunce! I don't know where I got the AL thing from. I must have been thinking of some other posting on another thread. So Sorry. :confused3 It must be the Biochem I'm working on :teacher: I can't multitask too well ;)

Peebidy is right! :lmao: I know a person also from there and she says it just the same. She worked at the museum in town...Peabody-Essex maybe? I could have that name wrong too! Not too good in that department apparently :laughing:

I hope you have a wonderful trip...I know you will :banana:
 
Hello everyone!

I'm just joining in the conversation! Our package (100 points at VWL) was sent TODAY to Disney for ROFR. So we have our fingers crossed!

Dani
 
my contract was submitted to disney on 3/19/08 and i recieved notice that it passed rofr on 3/28/08. that was pretty fast i think.:thumbsup2

tts says that closure should be in about 28 days, but i have not recieved the papers to sign and send back with the money yet. those usually come along with the approval notice, don't they????:confused: but that was just an e-mail notice from tts, i think to be polite.;)
 
Welcome mommacat, and congrats on your BWV contract! :)

I've been an L&D nurse for 15 years and that's about to change on 4/14. I took a job in the ER...

Thanks Tammy! :thumbsup2

OMG, you really are a glutten for punishment! :scared1: The screamin' in the ER is even worse than the screamin' in L&D :rotfl2: What made you want to change after all this time? I originally worked in PACU for many years, but transferred to Radiology 9 years ago for better hours. Still have to take call, but it's a whole lot less than in PACU. This job is a cream puff compared to PACU ;)

I wish you best of luck with your new job and with your BCV (?) contract! :thumbsup2
 
Congrats on your new contract!

However, I wouldn't hold my breath on those papers at this point. I passed ROFR on 3/5 and still haven't got my closing paperwork...
