Hi Everybody! 
Good to see you all again. I hope at least some of you are getting great news today! Per my last message, I'm sure I posted around page 2 or so of this thread, but I'm not going to worry about it now. I did see some other replies on the same day as my last post that were displayed in really strange threads, so who knows?
Whatever...
So, here are the dates I had:
1/23 placed offer with TSS, offer accepted
1/24 we sent docs, deposit; deal sent to ROFR
2/ 1 passed ROFR, opened escrow
2/28 received closing docs, est close date 3/13
3/11 notified by TSS that we closed escrow
With a level of patience not generally known to me, I waited until today (3/14) to call Member Services and see if we were in the system. The good news: I got right thru the voicemail tree with less than a minute wait time, and the lady on the other end was very nice and helpful. The bad news: the system has no idea who I am. She suggested I try again on Monday.
I hope I get my first *real* (non-rental) reservation then!
That'll be about 8 weeks from "offer" to "able to make a reservation," which was hard to wait out day by day, but I thought it was pretty good turnaround time overall. (With all our modern computers, can't they speed this stuff up more?) I never got an email about a gift basket!?!
monami7, I was really sad to hear what happened with your contract, but it reempasized to me why we go thru all these steps. Imagine how distressing it would have been if you'd closed on it! I'm thrilled you found an even better one to buy. I had some buyers' remorse after we agreed on our deal (I should have gotten a more loaded contract for the money, and probably a different use year), but ours went thru and I'm okay with it now. (I know, easy to say on this end of the deal.
) But you're the 2nd person I've heard of whose contract didn't go thru, and they ended up with a better deal. I know I learned a lot as we went thru this, and I'll do an even better job on selecting our next one!
Good vibes to everyone here...
I hope you *all* get great news soon!

and talking about how after yesterdays conversation with the folks at TTS that we should know in a week at the latest. Just then my cellphone rings, I don't recognize the phone number, I answer it anyway and it's Nancy she tells me that Disney has waived their ROFR and then she said some other stuff I was too excited to pay attention, something about title search or estoppel anyway she we should close on April 18th, the day we are leaving for WDW. So I thank her profusely hang up the phone and tell my wife, I figure she should know about this too. Then I announce to my wife "I have to call Tammy and Cheryl and let them know". My wife starts to laugh at me because as you are aware I don't have your numbers 
but I was so excited I kind of lost it for a minute!
You are frickin' hilarious!!!!! 
I knew something good had happened when I looked at my e-mail and saw that there were 2 new posts.....1 for the other RORF thread and 1 for our thread. I'm soooo happy for you and your family! I told you something good was going to happen this week!
