The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Tigger & Eeyore]

So sorry to hear about your roof and your DVC. I am sure in no time you will be back and able to get the contract that you want. Good luck!!!

I looked at UY very heavily. I wanted May or June because we will go anytime from Sept to April so I wanted to be able to get my time in before my points expired. We plan to go every other year. Rolling one year ahead to go and then rolling the remaining to the next year.

I talked to my broker Friday and they have to wait for the esstoppel from Disney. Anyone have any ideas on how long that takes Disney to get to the closing company.

Happy Easter everyone!!!

Most of us aren't quite sure what the estoppel is...

If you're waiting for your ROFR from Disney, they've been running ( on average ) 2-3 weeks right now.

If you've already made ROFR, I can't answer that. I made ROFR a couple weeks ago. My closing date is only 2 days after Cheryl's but she got all of her closing paperwork last week. I haven't gotten any yet.

Happy Easter everyone!

DW and I decided last night that we have to cancel our offer tomorrow on the OKW contract.

I got through ROFR last Thursday - then it said in my email that they have 30 days to get the Estoppel from Disney - that I should have my closing paperwork with in a month. What is your closing date set for? How many weeks did Cheryl wait for her paperwork? Are you both going through the same resale company?

Luck to all us to close soon

Hi everyone!! Happy Easter! I'm so happy to be back! I've missed you all!

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.

Hopefully you'll get them this week!

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!

No, not really. It was more about the points and the loaded contract.

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.

I'm really sorry to hear about you having to cancel your contract. Hopefully for you it hasn't been 10 days and you can get your money back.

Our closing date is set for April 7th, but we're hoping it will happen sooner. I found out from Nancy on March 5th that we passed on Feb. 29th (she thought that we already knew). Anyway, we received our closing paperwork on March 19th. We immediately signed everything, went to the bank and got the check and sent everything back that same day! We sent it Priority Mail and they received it on Friday. I am REALLY hoping that we can close early. It all depends on when the seller gets his paperwork back.

I think we are going through the same company......TTS.

Cheryl and I are using the same complany. My closing date is April 9th, but I haven't received my paperwork yet.

It seems like it should be any day not. Maybe they are backed up with the holiday. I bet you hear sometime this week. My closing isn't until the 30th of April. I sure hope I don't have to wait that long

Good Morning Sunshines!

Cheryl, welcome back, hope you had a great weekend!

I have a day off!!!!!

Can't tell you how happy I am about that.

I'm thinking of a question for the day, if anyone else comes up with one first, throw it in!

Good morning to you...one more day of Spring break in this house so it's a stay at home dad day here.

? of the day thought...if it's not a Disney vacation, where would be your favorite vacation place?

 

[tammymacb]

Oh, that's easy! The Caribbean.

My DH and I are scuba divers and have a great dive vacation every year.

The last two years were Grand Cayman, this year Bonaire, next year Belize..

Looooove diving. Great question!

 

[minniekissedme]

We're not divers but I agree...the Caribbean for me, too! We've done several islands via cruise or vacation and I'd have to say either Grand Cayman or St. John are my favorites.

Now the most fun was the jeep tour in Aruba...that was quite a ride!!!

We're just starting Spring Break here. A whole week!

I'm not really sure about where else we would go. I've been to some places pre-marriage, but as for family vacations, we've been to Disneyland, WDW and Gatlinburg, TN.

I've been diving in Grand Cayman too! I loved it! I would go back there in a heartbeat!

 

[minniekissedme]

While it may not be a "vacation" spot, we love to get the kiddies to Washington, DC and hope to go this summer again. We're close enough to make it in less than four hours and have friends in the area, too. We're trying to make sure our three amigos understand what's important besides GameBoy and SpongeBob.

Last August we spent 11 days and did just over 30 dives and I still wanted to cry when it was time to come home...

If you ever get the opportunity to hit Trinity Caves or Big Sand Chute, jump at the chance!

 

[dvcnewgirl]

If not disney.. I think it would be a cruise. They are so nice with the kiddos! We are doing a Disney Cruise in September. In January we are going on a cruise too right sister...

 

[tammymacb]

I'm all for it...

Kristen, got a call for 50 BCV points with double points from a resale...Unfortunately, it was a Dec UY.

 

[the who #3]

i have done this several times and still get a little over anxious, but i find that it usually takes 3 to 5 wks for rofr and the paper work starts coming in soon after that. i get notification for tts by e-mail.

i am, in fact, waiting for rofr now.

sometimes i think that i am the one that keeps the sales rocking back and forth. but isn't that supposed to be good for the economy????? i will use that as an excuse for my disney addiction anyway.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Good Morning all! I trust everyone had a great weekend. I have added "the who #3" to our list. He's an old pro at this so maybe we can all learn a thing or two. Welcome aboard.

ROFR is a four letter word.

 

[tammymacb]

Where, oh where are the June UY resales??

I look every day, on several sites and June seems to have less inventory in general and for small contracts...nada..

I think I have rewritten this post about eight times, I keep changing my mind. I think if it's not a Disney vacation then for me it's probable one of those Disney "wanna be's" like Universal Studios or maybe King's Dominion at least for now. Although, I have to go along with "dvcnewgirl" a cruise would be pretty nice...I need more points!
