The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

I think Ed might be busy figuring how long till his next trip!

O.K. I'm back, they actually made me do work today so I was a little busy and could only jump on here from time to time, unreal! Now I'm home so I can get caught up. Just so you know Tammy, I am 24 days 12 hours 20 minutes and 15 seconds from jumping in the family truckster and heading south! I got my CD of "Wishes" and volume 1 through 4 of Disney Classic music ready to go!

Ed! Missed you today!

You are totally funny, BTW. I'm going on that couples trip in May, tried to look up airfare and couldn't quite remember which days I was going to be there..

 

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, I'm sorry. I've seen some good small HH contracts available lately. Kristen called me to buy one actually ( But it didn't have a June UY ) it had 2007 banked and all 2008 and was less than $4000.00 for 50 points!

I hope you find something that works for you soon!

Waiting for a contract to arrive from a resale agent: 160 points SSR with a December UY. Some banked '06 points, and most of '07 points available now:
$79 a point. Wish us luck...or blessings, if you're comfortable with those. So, after sending this in with the deposit, we will officially be waiting on ROFR.

 

[tammymacb]

Grandbuddy, welcome!

SS looks like a beautiful resort. I was talking to one of my GFs this week about an all girls trip this fall and that was the resort she chose. So new, and I've heard the spa is great!

Good luck with your contract and join us for some chat!

 

[HolidayRoad]

If anyone finds themselves either on the list or off the list and it's wrong please let me know! Remember this is the good luck list (except of coarse for Metsoskil's roof), but nobody has been ROFRed so I don't want to leave anyone off!

Hey Tammy, I was just thinking (which can be scary for me) can you believe this thread has grown to pushing almost 600 posts, and shows no sign of slowing down. Pretty cool . I am waiting to see if the next person that passes ROFR and gets their Email if this thread is added to the little list of threads they attach. Just wanted to thank you again for starting this. You kind of go from feeling isolated in this whole process to feeling like part of a big group and that's comforting, all thanks to you for starting it and posters like Disneymotherof3 for jumping right in. .

Welcome aboard matey! We just passed ROFR at $78/point at SSR...hope that means good things for you.

Laxmom...that was cold making you wait like that. Maybe it was DVC calling you!

fyi...I checked in with my closing company on the closing package and got the standard "we're waiting for estoppel and Disney" reply. She indicated Disney turnaround is 2-3 weeks so it's more waiting...

 

[Laxmom]

Contacted TSS and am actively looking for DVC contract for HHI. Can we start a new list of those hoping to be waiting for ROFR?

I don't look at it as cold but inept. They lost our contract in their system and had to be told that they had it.

just like riding a bike

 

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, how many points are you looking for??

Ed, I can't believe how this thread has grown. But, I'm really enjoying it. I miss everybody when I'm busy and can't jump on...

I called today about my closing paperwork too. I'm set to close 4/9 and haven't received anything yet. I'm also waiting for estoppel..

 

[Laxmom]

I think anything between 50 and 100 and then we will add on later. I am now on Jerry's email list. We are looking for a fall UY if possible. I was hoping he would mention the contract you were offered but didn't. I'm sure there were people on their list ahead of me that deserve a look first.

 

[minniekissedme]

there's a 50 with a March year on ***********.com

 

[tammymacb]

Laxmom, I check all the sites daily and I'll keep my eyes open. I saw one that might work but it was a March UY. The one I mentioned before sold quickly..

 

[Laxmom]

pm me. I think I may have seen that one.

 

[tammymacb]

Most of the small HH contracts are stripped right now. I bet you'll find one quick though!

Yuck, does that mean that I have another 2 and half weeks- arghhh - waiting is the hardest part - that song just rings through my head these past few weeks. When is your closing?

 

[Laxmom]

Ok guys. Here's a loaded question. What is your opinion on what use year would be best for us? We would most likely be traveling in either October or Feb/March. At one time, I thought a fall UY would be best. We are flexible because this is our getaway without kids and can travel anytime. We already can go to HH in summer with our "other" ts. I want the peace that off season offers but the option to book a room in Orlando on either end of a cruise.

 

[minniekissedme]

I'm still unsure how that's going to play out for us!

We have traveled Jan/Feb because of the lack of crowds and our children are still at an age (11,9,7) that taking them out of school isn't harmful. DS11 starts middle school next year so all that can be tossed out the window if the volume of his work escalates as I know it will (plus the fact he has no initiative at this age).

We're also not big planners for these either...trips are always booked in either Nov/Dec for Jan/Feb, so I think we're in for some "challenges" but we'll survive and book what we want when we want.

For you...March gives you booking for the following Feb and still time to cancel October, right?? Whether I'm the right person to answer or not remains to be seen!
