The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

Our contract is only 50 pts so we are paying cash. That is part of the reason why we are buying small contracts. We will add on and pay cash also. If you don't get much of a response here, you might post this over on the DVC threads.

Thanks

Congratulations karebear, Kat4Disney, and clombardi! Best wishes for future short waits!

for all!

Thanks for the congrats and warm welcomes! DH and I went out for dinner to celebrate and I tried to continue my DVC "education" to the best of my ability. For someone who never went to Disney until 5 years ago he does pretty well!
Now I've got to control the addonitis. Last year I was at Disney 3 times and have to keep reminding myself that it was a exception - not the rule. But....we'll see!!! We love the Wilderness Lodge and AKL is also a favorite. And then Epcot, and then.......well, you see how it is and I think you all understand it! That's one of the great things about these boards.
I really hope that everyone else starts closing on their contracts soon - then maybe I can too!!!!!

OK, heard back from Jaki today. She said they sent out a number of closing packets out that passed ROFR on March 12th. So we should expect something in about 12 days as we passed ROFR on the 24th. Based on this looks like 3 weeks for estoppel, and she thinks we should be around the 24th to close.

I don''t know, I think HR hit the nail on the head, it goes in the black hole and when it comes out is anybody's guess.

disneymotherof3 can I get back on the waiting to close list? It's all I got.

Good luck to all the newbies, and congrats to those that passed, it seems like ALOT of activitity on the ROFR front these days.

I think John is at 10,734 as of few minutes ago.

Good Morning all!!!

Hey, I got a question for today. I am trying to figure out a graduation trip to celebrate my graduation next year. I am trying to figure out where I might want to go. (already planning 2 Hilton Head trips!) So, here is the question...

If you could go anywhere in the world, and money was no object, where would you go?(it's' nice to dream!)

I think mine would be an Alaska cruise. DH says Jackson Hole, WY. Interesting since we keep taking beach vacations!!!

My trip would either have to be, a DCL cruise to Alaska, or a trip to Hawaii, I've always wanted to go to both places, but haven't made it to either one.

 

[Verandah Man]

As of this morning, still no news if our offer has been accepted or not.....

I'll check back in later folks.........

 

[Laxmom]

OOOhhhh! I hadn't thought of combining Alaska with Disney. I guess I kind of gave that up when the new itineraries announced this year didn't include Alaska. I just don't think they will go there until the new ships are here though. Is that 2011 and 2012? Anybody know?

Wow Vernadah Man. That sure is taking a while. I'm hoping today is your day!!!

 

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines!

Verandah Man, I hope you have some luck today. The waiting gets old fast..

OK, my paperwork is supposed to be here today or tomorrow, we'll see how that goes...

Hmmm, for todays question, there are soooo many places I want to go. We travel to the Caribbean a lot to dive and I love every second I'm there. Special favorites are Grand Cayman and Barbados. I'd also like to dive the Maldives, the Red Sea, and Micronesia, I'd also just like to tour Europe and especially Italy. We'll be waiting 'till the dollar comes back before we even consider that, though.

If you want to do an Alaskan Cruise ( haven't done Ak yet, but am beginning to plan it ) I'm pretty sure RCCL's Navagator of the Seas does Alaska and that is one fabulous ship. We did it this winter and it was my favorite of all time cruise. I'd do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone.

Yeah, starting to feel a little uncomfortable since we haven't heard anything as of this morning. But, like my DW said, "If it's meant to be, it will happen." We'll just wait and see what happens.

OK, I've got to get ready to get out the door for work.

Bob,
Just voted for your friend. He had over 10,000 votes! Looks like he's leaving the competition in the dust!

I've always wanted to do a Alaskan Cruise since I saw an episode of the Love Boat. Anyone else remember the show?

How does Jaki know when the packets will come. I asked Robert and Nancy and they said they have no way of knowing - just have to wait and see. It has been two weeks for me since I passed ROFR and I was told not to expect anything prior to April 15th - Long wait and I am so looking forward to booking.

I sure hope you hear something today, that must be stressful too! We got lucky on that front. We offered and it was counter offered and we accepted and they accepted with in like an hour, maybe less.

Oh yes, I sure do. I use to watch it faithfully!

Alaska sounds fun - I have always wanted to do the Hawaiian Cruise. I have never looked to see if Disney does that - it is just a place I have always wanted to go

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Boy, have I missed a lot these past few days. Welcome to all of the newbies and I hope your waits are short!!!!!

We are still waiting for closing paperwork. Two weeks down in that wait not sure how many to go. I hope soon as I really want to book my trip

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Good Morning Sunshines!

HOPING YOU HEAR TODAY!!!!

That is good to know. My DH's company is a select supplier for Princess. We can get 2 for 1 on most cruises. We haven't used it yet and have only cruised with Carnaval and "The Mouse". I'm kind of nervous to try anyone else and keep thinking I will wait until Disney goes to the great white north but I think I may have a long wait there. I am considering other options.

Yeah, starting to feel a little uncomfortable since we haven't heard anything as of this morning. But, like my DW said, "If it's meant to be, it will happen." We'll just wait and see what happens.

Your DW sounds like my DH. That is all I heard while we were waiting for the sellers. Ironic thing is he was the one who kept checking in with the agent!

I loved that show!! I wanted to be a cruise director when I grew up!!

Sorry, my multi quote messed up. Not sure what I did wrong.

I think I would like to do something like this, you said to anything right:

How many points do you think I'd need.
