The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

Well, here is my update. Just got off the phone with my agent and she said that she had heard nothing from TS company. She said that she had requested an update this afternoon but got no response as of 5:13 when I called. I was impressed that I waited that extra 13 minutes! She said that she will call on Monday and we will proceed from there. So, I guess I still have to get thru the weekend but I feel pretty good that no news is good news!! Woo Hoo!!

Have fun all you Disney travelers!! We are heading to UVA to watch them play Johns Hopkins in lacrosse. DS plays and this was part of his Christmas. Should be a fun weekend.

Everyone have a super Easter and a fantastic weekend!!

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!

.
Wow I thought it was just my DD8 that realized that. I have a bad knee and refuse to get a scooter, don't want anyone thinking I'm OLD . My DD told me that I should get one since after 1/2 a day I need to rest up and we could do more rides if I used one. But I agree, I have seen lots of people get out of those scooters and their walking better then me!

Teenagers running in a crowded park is another pet peeve for me. This past Christmas while at AK we were leaving from Dino and we past a father with a little girl around 8 - 10 who had been ran over by a group of teenagers. I turned around to help the dad, I come prepared had napkins, wetones and band-aids on me. Got most of the bleeding stopped she was pretty banged up. Used at least 5 band-aids. I then gave up one of my Tinkerpins that I was suppose to give to someone who does something nice. Her crying just tore at my heart and DD wanted me to give her the pin. Hopefully she'll remember that someone stopped to help them and gave her pin.

Good Morning Sunshines!

I have to explain my absence. I had to take a fetal recertification class this week and on top of my regular schedule, in the last 11 days, I've had one day off.. Of course, I spent most of that day off cleaning and catching up on laundry.

Anyway, soon life gets back to normal and I can't wait.

On the closing front...no documents yet, but hopefully they'll come while I'm off and I can get everything sent off next week.

Congrats to those who passed in the last couple days, I know how excited you are!

Question of the day: Did UY come into consideration for you and your contract?

I bought June, knowing all I really cared about was my December trip. It mattered, but not a huge amount.

Everyone have a great day!

 

[colonialtinker]

No use year didn't really play into it. We go at all different times of the year. DH said he will go any time but Christmas, he didn't like being away from home last year . Me on the other hand liked the fact I didn't have to cook a big Christmas Dinner! We had already planned our June trip for this year. Once I past ROFR and get closing done I will be looking at planning a August or September trip

 

[GoofyDad13]

I went by the contract more than the use year. Ended up with an Aug UY, which may help us, as if we need to cancel late, we sholud have a year to use them.

Happy Easter all.

For me UY didn't come into play as much as the amount of points and location then once we started to check things out a little more we realized that UY does hold some weight. That's why we were so nervous about the contract we found because, right location, right amount of points (or at least we thought so) and then the right UY. We generally go in April on our kids spring break so February UY is good for us where we have the points put on a couple of months before we head out and then we can bank the left over points after we get back.

 

[icouldlivethere]

I wanted a September or October UY and we got an Oct. UY. I knew the times we were least likely to go were the summer months because we don't like the heat. We are most likely to go any time from Oct. through April so I felt like the Oct. UY would work well for us.

Happy Easter everyone.

Happy Easter everyone! I'm hoping that maybe with the long Easter weekend maybe the ROFR's got put off until Monday or at least the phone calls and Emails, I think next week is going to be huge for this thread!

ROFR is a four letter word.

Happy Easter everyone!

By my calculations I figure I won't hear anything on my ROFR until April Fool's day. I sure hope Disney doesn't fool me!

 

[gingermouse17]

I did take use year into consideration since my other contract has a March UY for AKV I wanted HHI to be the same. Easier to keep track of points.

 

[gingermouse17]

Happy Easter everyone.

Happy Easter

...notes their $79 a point offer for a 180-point resale contract at SSR made it through ROFR in about 2 weeks, and they are to close soon. He's not participating in this thread, but that's one more success story for us to ponder.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter. God bless us, every one.

 

[minniekissedme]

It wasn't a big factor for us...we were more about the points and $$. We have traveled mostly in Jan/Feb so were I guess kinda tight but I'm not real worried about it. Hoping to start spending my 350 points soon enough!!!!

Happy Easter to those of you celebrating on Sunday. My Easter (we are Orthodox) is another five weeks away.

Happy Easter everyone!

DW and I decided last night that we have to cancel our offer tomorrow on the OKW contract. Last week after we made the offer our roof started leaking, and even though we've got enough saved to fix the roof and buy the DVC, we can't justify cleaning out most of our savings. We're pretty bummed about it, but in a few months I'm sure we'll be back searching for a contract. This thread's been great, though, and I can't wait to be back. I'll still check in, beacuse I'm looking forward to the rest of you who are waiting getting through (and those waiting to close to finally get finished).

If anyone's looking for an OKW add-on, they'll be one at a really good price back on the market come Tuesday. 60pts, April UY. They were asking for $73 pp before we made an offer.

Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Happy Easter to you too. Sorry about the roof. For what it's worth my DW and I got close buying DVC on a couple occasions and then decided not to go forward, never made it to the point of making an offer before but money was the reason we couldn't justify doing it, so I've been there. Eventually it became our turn, so to speak and we're following through this time. Hopefully everything goes smooth for you for the next few months and we see you back here, sweating your way through ROFR once again. Good luck.

Happy Easter Sunshines...

Today is my last day in this horrible stretch of workdays. I can't WAIT until tomorrow.

So sorry to hear about your roof and your DVC contract. Hopefully you'll be back soon.
