The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

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!!!

Your on the list welcome to our waiting nightmare!

Our club is growing! To be honest I really want out but at least I'm not alone! I really want to be in the "Got through ROFR and waiting to close support group". For now we wait . It helps to listen Click Five's "Time Machine" or go to Youtube and watch video's of Wishes.

Good Morning Sunshines!

Another work day for me...

Here's todays's question: If you HAD to buy points at a resort that isn't the one you currently own, which would it be??

My answer:

Not quite sure, either Beach Club or OKW...I'll narrow down later today..

Hope everyone has a great day!

Tammy! That's just mean! Most of us don't own anywhere yet! We're still in ROFR. Now, if we are going to assume that we eventually get through ROFR and get to close then my answer would Beach Club, or the imaginary "Kingdom Towers".

 

[disneymotherof3]

I'm just trying to get through this one first! Even though we already passed, it's still nerve racking! I'll be happy when this is done and over with. If I had to choose.....hmmmmm........I guess I'd probably say either BWV or AKV.

You can add me to the list. My contract was submitted for ROFR on March 5. I'm purchasing 210 points at Wilderness Lodge.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

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!

Ohh that is a hard one to answer. I kinda liked being on the bridge area between the UK, the international gateway and France. Or else in Canada right beside the beer and popcorn cart. There are no trees so there is nothing to block your view. Also I too love the mushroom fillet. And I think I ate the cheese soup every day!

Today's question: if I hadn't bought AKL I think I would have gone for Beach Club. I like the proximity to Epcot and especially the restaurants (Cape May Cafe, Yahtsmen steakhouse, Beaches and Cream).

OK, that's easy for me. We already own VWL since 2004. We took a trip last year and stayed at all the villas to see which one we wanted to buy more points in. Beach Club won the prize. Although I didn't care for the room we got, it was so close to Epcot and the pool was awesome! We will also have accommodations on each end of the world! So we are in ROFR for BCV points.

I think disneymotherof3 is right it's gonna be a big week for us next week !

 

[tammymacb]

Ed, I wasn't being mean...I didn't mean "own" I meant "the resort you already picked" Anyways, I bet next week you're gonna own.

To answer my own question, I'd pick BCV, the biggest reason I love BWV is the location. So..BCV it would be.

I know you weren't being mean, I like to jump on stuff like that, I'm weird that way. As for BCV I agree, the wife and I went back and forth on BWV and BVC I think we ended up on BWV because of price of the resales mostly and really, I was thrilled either way. The location is awesome.

Good Morning Sunshines!

Third day of work AND lost an hour of sleep...C'mon Monday!

 

[icouldlivethere]

I would have to say BCV also for its location.

I purchased BWV for the location and the availability of SV for fewer points. I would also be interested in KTR when it opens and would love to do a small add on there.

I completely forgot about DST! Oh well, the kids can go to Sunday school next week.

 

[tammymacb]

Posting from work...not birthing any babies this morning and I really wouldn't mind not doing that today!

Can't wait to see who's contracts made it through ROFR next week!

 

[Laxmom]

I just have to say "good luck, everyone!" I have been reading and learning - don't have a contract with DVC in ROFR.....yet. We are waiting on another TS company - we aren't optimistic. (2 weeks and counting!) If that comes back as expected, we will be waiting on DVC news ourselves soon. So, in the meantime, Good luck all! We hope to join you with our own wait soon!!

 

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, good luck!

I see you will be on the Magic 5 nite cruise in September. I'll be there, too. It's funny seeing the doorsign I designed around this site.

 

[Laxmom]

Love that sign! And can't wait for that cruise!

I see you are in coastal SC. HHI is where we are trying to buy vacation time.
We went in Feb for our first offseason visit and loved it. We want to get back every year at that time and that is what we are trying to buy. We go every other year in the summer with kids now. This purchase is just a getaway for DH and me. The kids are older and we feel that we can escape once a year. One way or another.... we will get it done. Hopefully DVC will happen for us because the other option is just not looking promising.

 

[tammymacb]

My sister owns HH points ( I live in Charleston ) and she says it's beautiful! I don't think I'll buy there, but I would love to visit a bit off season ( Oct-early November )
