The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[kmhollis28]

I'm going to guess... you will get word that you passed ROFR on March 28th.

If your prediction is right Ed, maybe we'll be lucky. The 28th is our 2yr anniversary!

Good morning everyone! Well, today is day 30. If the soon to be named TS company does not respond by 5 pm today, we will own another wonderful week in Hilton Head. It has been a torturous month and I have new found sympathies for anyone waiting for ROFR on any vacation property!! Here's hoping some of you guys get the news you have been waiting for today!!

I agree that this thread needs to continue and I sure hope it does. You all have made my wait tolerable and it has been great to share in the joy as contracts have passed. Have a wonderful day! Here is hoping that today is the day for everyone!!

Did the company that you're working with tell you that? The reason I ask is that I remember seeing on another thread a month or so back that someone waited almost 45 days to hear back. They said that they were told the 30 days was more of a "go by'. For your sake, I hope it does end today!

O.K. it's 10:30 am and there is no question of the day yet! I need my question of the day! Someone, anyone? If I don't get my question of the day then I'm going to have to do actual work and we can't have that now people! It's Friday there are 27 days 18 hours 25 minutes and 4 seconds until I leave for WDW, please don't make me work!

It's in the original contract and the company wrote it in, thank goodness! I could not stand another 2 weeks of this!!! The next 6 hours, 24 minutes and 15 seconds is going to be bad enough!!! Too bad there isn't a smiley that shows him pulling his hair out or biting his nails!!

You could always use one of these! Go ahead you'll feel better!

What is your biggest "pet peeve" regarding WDW?

Question for tomorrow?: Why do you think ROFR takes so long?

I think it just to make those that go through resale have to wait, make buying through Disney more attractive. If you are a "I want my DVC and I want it now!!!" only choice is through Disney. I mean, how much do they really look at each one? How many are they reviewing? I will add, ROFR didn't bother me till we bought.

I posted this one yesterday for today.

But to answer yours, the amount of time ROFR takes. This will hopefully change soon (will go back to not getting to choose between an app or desert on the DDP, but that is an entirely different subject).

Ok. Here goes. Helped a little!

My pet peeve is line jumpers. Drives me nuts. But then, it is the happiest place on earth so who can get too upset.

Good! Then you're covered!

Hmmmmm......that's a tough one. I'll have to get back to you on that.

What is your biggest "pet peeve" regarding WDW?

I didn't want to put up a negative post but all y'all forced my hand on this one. I just couldn't wait anymore.

Now as for my answer: I have three things that are equal in their ability to suck a little magic out of a trip, in no particular order: - Line jumpers, I will have to agree with Laxmom on that one, had a really bad experience at the boat dock at POR and I swear that few minutes took years off my life. - People in the parks that just don't get it! I hate that, it's bad enough I'm surrounded by them in the real world, drives me nuts when I see them in WDW. - Rude cast members, luckily this one is much more rare than the other two but it still happens. My sister got yelled at by the bus driver a couple of years ago, she was waiting at the bus stop and her son fell asleep in his umbrella stroller, she didn't know about not having an open stroller on the bus and when her husband picked up the front end to help her carry it onto the bus the bus driver started to yell at her, not tell her nicely she couldn't do that but actually yell at her. She folded it up and went to the back of the bus and sat down and cried. It was her kids first trip to WDW and it was day one they were going to MK. Now my niece was upset, my sister, her husband, awful. Not the way to start off your first trip to WDW. The funny thing was the people on the bus, Disney Veterans, comforted her and chewed out the bus driver. I wasn't on the bus, which is probably best.

GoofyDad13, I must have you on my pop up blocker or something that's twice now! Sorry. As for your question I think they take their time because they are waiting to see if they have a current member on a wait-list for a certain amount of points with the right UY. Also, I honestly believe it's their way to make things a little more stressful when buying resale so they make you think a little more about buying direct.

I thought about that too. That came close to making my list but my wife would have seen it and called me here at work and make me edit it off, she always thinks I'm offending everybody. Whenever you see my posts have that little edit thing down the bottom, she made me do it. I'm glad you said it this way I can just agree with you!

When we were planning our trip we asked my parents (as we always do) if they wanted to join us (and they never do). My mom while she isn't disabled would need a scooter because she's a bit larger and wouldn't be able to deal with the walking. In these discussions, my youngest was getting excited that they might join us and spouts off "we can get to the front of the lines because you have a wheelchair!"

Well I just about died...but isn't it funny how even the little ones know how it works!

For me, it's probably the lack of Mets games on TV.

Nah, just kidding. There's very little time for watching anything on TV on a Disney vacation. I can't say that there's been too much that's really irked me on my Disney trips. Line jumpers are a pain, but I can only think of once that I've even noticed someone jumping in front of me, and that was at a CS while I was getting dinner for the fam. I guess there's the only other thing I can think of is parents who let their children act like idiots. As a teacher, I'm not the least bit surprised by this, but I hate having my kids exposed to it. Once DD starts kindergarten next year, she's going to see plenty of it anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. At least we get to have the "Why shouldn't we act like that talk?" afterward...

 

[GoofyDad13]

OK, anyone hear anything today???? We are getting 6-8 inches of snow today, and I need to know someone is getting closer.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Hi, guys!!!

Even though I think my 150 pt VB contract will get ROFRd (couldn't find what was passing, but now I know what I offered was too low ), I'll at least get to pass the time by being at WDW!!!

We're leaving tomorrow at 5:30 in the evening and staying at SSR for a week! My MIL/FIL, BIL/SIL are all going and we're getting 2 2-BRs. I cannot wait! Between wondering about this VB contract and having a couple of bad weeks at work, I'm just glad we're going away.

Hoping everyone waiting hears something really soon! The wait is just agonizing!!! Wonder where at Dis ROFR is handled??? Think I could go and push all of our contracts through? I'd gladly take them Starbucks!!!

Have fun in WDW. I just saw you are heading out today, hopefully when you get home you'll have some good news waiting! Have a great time and say "Hi" to Mickey for me. Don't bother trying to find where they do ROFR you'll never get past the moat or the man eating alligators never mind the secret entrance code.
