The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

I liked yesterdays idea of a topic of the day while we wait for our ROFR. So today I will throw one out that is a question I always ask Disney people when I found out they are Disney people. I'll try to keep it DVC related as much as possible (it's not really possible). At the end of the day before you head back to your DVC resort, what is your favorite end of the day Disney show:

A- Wishes

B- Illuminations

C- Fantasmic

D- Other, __________


Thought this would be fun to check out while I wait and wait and wait...

I would have to say that Wishes is my favorite. Just something about the fireworks, the music and being at the castle and seeing it all lit up is magical!

BTW, when did you submit again?

I believe they submitted my contract for ROFR on or about the 22nd if that's accurate then today would exactly two weeks. So they have time I guess.

I'm looking forward to hearing how everybody's closing experience goes and how soon afterwards you get in the system and get your points.

Even though we passed ROFR on Feb. 14th it looks like most of you will be closing before us. The seller of our contract is taking a trip in April and so we can't close until after his trip is completed on April 20th.

I'm hoping to get in the system in time to get a reservation at my home resort for early December before the 7 month window opens. I have always wanted to see the Christmas decorations at Disney and thought that would be a good first trip home for us.

The email I received telling me that we had passed ROFR said we should get our final closing documents in the mail in about 28 days. That means we should have them in about a week. There should be no hurry for us to get everything back to them considering we can't close before April 20th.

I love Disney at Christmas. It is the very best time of the year. I will post some photos of my last trip at Christmas so you can see some of the decorations because they are awesome!

For me it is easy...Illuminations. I worked in Canada at Epcot for 12 months and got to see Illuminations every night for a year. I think I can recite the "We have gathered" intro in my sleep. But I loved it every time I saw it!

You worked in Canada! I love Le Cellier! The Mushroom Filet is awesome! Not the most Kid oriented place but who cares. For the money I love it, people sing praises about Shula's and the Yachtsman Steakhouse but if you don't want to take out a second mortgage and want a great Filet for me Le Cellier!!

One other thing. Wrong thread and all but I have to ask as a seasoned EPCOT vet. Where is your favorite spot to watch Illuminations!

No email yet...looks like a long weekend ahead!

 

[disneymotherof3]

I'm sorry. Hopefully you'll hear something early next week.

My favorite is "Wishes".... oh, and my favorite “snack” is The Fiesta Margarita sold in Epcot!

 

[HolidayRoad]

So much for good luck Fridays . Oh well, we will start fresh next week.
Monami7, Dizney4us any word? I see Tink6137130 will also be waiting until next week.
O.K. we meet back here first thing Monday morning and start all over.


Until then: 41 days 11 hours 22 minutes and 3 seconds until the truckster heads to the Swan, and hopefully stroll over and visit my new home!?!?

Count me in on the waiting game. Our contract # was wrong and we had to sign again last night. I think our contract was submitted on 2/26. Now I wonder if we will start counting days all over again. Anyway, we bought 150 BCV points with December use year. The waiting is terrible!

 

[tink'smom2B]

Holiday Road - I have to laugh at your user name. We have been to WDW from Chicago/Milwaukee 13 times on that holiday road! We used to set up a TV in our van and let the kids watch the Griswold's. It was great. Now, most of them are grown up (we have 8), but I still have to watch that movie every spring break. It's a classic. Sorry this is off the topic

Tammymacb is still our emotional leader even though she passed ROFR and Disneymotherof3 has also been with us since the beginning and is a pillar of strength. Look to them for support and guidance.
Anyone else want in just say the word. Misery loves company!

8 kids in a van from Milwaukee to WDW. You have to be the most easy going person in the world or a Saint. I would last about 10 minutes. I drive from Massachusetts every year with two and can barely keep my sanity. As for "Vacation" It is part of our yearly trip to "Wally World". It's gotten to the point where I hear that song and I start to think about our own vacations! "Why 'cause were the Griswolds"

 

[disneymotherof3]

Hang in there guys!! I have a feeling that next week is going to be a good one! You all have really good contracts so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's the waiting that is soooooo agonizing.

 

[tammymacb]

Helllooooo! I'm home! I missed "our" thread today!

My answer to today's question is "Illuminations" I remember when it first opened at Epcot, I think then it was called the laser phonic fantasy?

My main man, Bernard, called me today to let me know that starting the first of April, BWV resale from Disney will increase by $6.00 per point.

If I can close by the end of March, I can still get the current point prices, but if not...they're going up.

Unfortunately, my closing date is set for April 9th..

Hello all,

Count me in. I just started the process for the first time today. I am trying to get points at HH. My plan is to bank this year's points and go away next July. So I am ok about when the points go in (if it's this year ) but I am worried that the price per point was too low. I was told that I have a 75% chance. I really hope it goes through since it was my use year and the perfect amount of points.

So now the waiting begins................

 

[Buckeye Fan]

May I join, please?

Just made offer today, should get contract Monday. Hope to go off to ROFR sometime next week. I'm 50/50 on whether this one will pass or not (VB - $60 per point). It's a gamble, but thank heavens it's not my first contract! LOL!

I'm glad I can help out the seller. They really wanted to get rid of it and had it listed at $58 per pt. I upped it to $60 in hopes it had a chance of passing.

Anyway...good luck to everyone waiting to hear. I know how hard that is and it seems like the two week stretch (+/-) never ends! Here's some extra pixie dust going out to all of you who are officially waiting and to those of us who will be!!!
