The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[llmurphy17]

Well I would pick BWV if I didn't have AKV and if the points expired in 2057. I love the theme, the view, the walk to epcot, everthing about BWV . I'll probably try to vacation there every few years.

As far as this waiting game - it is a nightmare. And I have at least 2 more weeks of this

 

[dizney4us]

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!?!?

Nothing yet HolidayRoad The waiting can really drive you crazy!! Is thsi your first DVC purchase, or are you trying to add another contract?

 

[disneyfatherof3]

I think Fridays are big ROFR days...( Cheryl was pased the first, I think I was passed the first ( c'mon, no word from Disney but I already had a closing date ? )

Maybe tomorrow will be yet another lucky day!

I chose BWV for the convenience of walking to MGM and Epcot. Love the convenience. I spent 5 days there this December, our studio did need a little updating, but with the location and the great time we had, it was still my first choice.

Tammy this is Cheryl's husband when is your closing date? Ours is 7 Apr can you beat that since we both passed ROFR the same day .

This is our first, hopefully first, purchase. We go to WDW pretty much every year since new years 1999/2000 (now that was a crowd). We have stayed at all the moderates at least once along with Wilderness Lodge. We have been toying with the idea of buying for a long time, took the tours talked to people who own and even people who didn't like the experience and sold their DVC points. We finally find ourselves in the position to take the plunge. How about you? You own already or a first timer?

Our closing is set for April 9th. I'm going to call Nancy tomorrow to see if it can be moved up ( betting it's a big no ) so that I can get on a wait list for the rest of my points from Disney.

If I can't, I'll be right back on this thread waiting for ROFR again...this time for 50 points

Tammy,
Just like you, if we pass ROFR we think we may want to add on right away after we close. Since you are already looking into this how does the add-on process work when going through Disney? I noticed you said waiting list, do you tell them what you want and they put you on a list? Just curious, thanks.

 

[disneymotherof3]

to all of our new partners in torture! LOL! I have a warm and fuzzy feeling that it's gonna be a great week! How is everyone holding up?

 

[tink6137130]

I’m also interested in adding on, my contract is only 100 points and already I think I may need more… I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to MONDAY!!!

I already called my guide. He checked BWV to see how many points are available for my UY ( June ) at the time I spoke to him, there were 3..

So, I'd go on a list for June UY BWV points ( told him I'd take 2 - 25s or a 50 ) Anyhoo, the biggest problem is- point prices go up April 1st. The same BWV points that are currently 98PP will be $104PP after. If I closed before April 1st, I could get in on the wait list and freeze the cost of points at $98. Unfortunately, my closing date is April 9th...so it's either pay the 104 or look for another resale...

Morning Sunshines!

WhooooHoooo a day of this!

I have a feeling that this will be a good week for some of our peeps!

Ed, when I spoke to my guide, there were some BWV UY's that had enough availability that I could have bought a 160 point Disney contract. I'd already told him that if I didn't make ROFR that's what I was going to do

I can't remember what your UY is, but I remember September and maybe December (?) as having at least 160 points. I'd guess this changes daily. Right now, I'm trying to decide on ease of add on VS money..at $104, I'm thinking that I'll wait on a resale..

Good Morning Tammy,
The UY of the contract I have in ROFR is February. I'll find out, I guess if I pass ROFR if they have any February available. Now when did the guide get assigned to you? Was it right after you passed ROFR?

 

[tammymacb]

No, it was quite the coincidence. My DS had told me how much she liked her guide and called him to ask if he could be mine also. ( I wanted to ask questions about an add on ) Anyhoo, she called her guide Bernard, he punched in my name and guess what? Apparently I talked to him in 2003- so he was ALREADY my guide, assigned from that contact 5 years ago.

If you've ever talked to a Disney person about DVC, you already have a guide assigned. If not, you get the guide assigned to the particular contact you buy.

Oh, O.K. now I get it. I must already have a guide then. I think her name is Linda we did a tour a few years ago and then the last time I called with a question, a while back. she called me back. I figured since I am not buying directly through Disney I wouldn't get the same person or get a guide at all, until I read your posts. Thanks for the info and I will probably attempt to contact her at some point. Hope she's not mad that I'm buying resale and not directly through her!

 

[tammymacb]

Well, Bernard was really nice... I told him that when I originally bought, I didn't think I'd need the 160 points, but after doing some math, it would have worked

So, I had it worked out that if A- I was ROFR'd I was going to contact him and buy 160 BWV points directly and Disney finance a part

OR

B- I was going to make an immediate add on of 50 points from Disney- as long as I got my points by June 1st, I would have gotten 50 2007 AND 50- 2008 AND Disney would have let me bank those 2007 points as it was so close to the end of the UY.

Anyway, he knew I was going to buy something. Now with the new price change though... I'm back to undecided about a second June UY resale...

 

[HolidayRoad]

Tammy, Just thought I'd keep you updated:

38 days 19 hours 14 minutes and 33 seconds until WDW!

I'll be sure to wander over from the Swan and check out your new home, you know make sure everything is in order, take in your mail, water the plants.

 

[tammymacb]

Sweet! I can't wait until our May trip! By then I'll be watering your plants and checking your mail also, while you're "out of town".

How many points are you adding??

We aren't really sure right now, my wife wants at least 200 points total so we can have 100 points per kid if we wanted to pass them down to them. I'm keeping them so I don't know what she's thinking but I'll go along with any idea to get more points. Right now I figure a good goal over the next few years is to get to 250 and then we will go from there.

Just to update everybody I got my final closing papers via email today.

My time line was as follows:

Feb. 4th contract went to Disney for ROFR

Feb. 14th received email saying we had passed ROFR -(my best Valentine's Day present)

March 10th received email with final closing documents

My closing documents state they need everything in their office by April 17th. The current owner is taking a trip in April so we can't close until their trip is over.

I hope all you who are awaiting ROFR good some good news soon!!

I'm looking forward to hearing from those of you whose closing will take place before ours how long it takes for you to get in the Disney system.

 

[tammymacb]

On the closing front-

So far no paperwork has arrived. Closing date given to me by Nancy is April 9th.

Ed, I was a tad worried about ROFR since when I talked to Bernard, Disney only had 3 points available with my UY and I was worried they may ROFR my contract for someone elses waitlist. However, I did make it through and they still have no points..

Ahhh, I was wondering why your closing date was later than mine when you already had my paperwork...then I reread..
