The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

OK, another question. Everyone keeps talking about their closing date. Where are you finding this info? The instructions that came with my contract state that it is clause 1. When I go to clause 1, the only date I see is April 9. Now, we all know that can't be! So, I think it is a typo and should be May 9. Is that what I am looking for on a closing date?

The only baby(ies) that show up at my house better be accompanied by 3 wise men on camels bearing gifts..


What arrest at the airport?

 

[Laxmom]

There was a man arrested last night boarding a flight for Jamaica after he acted weird. He had bomb making materials in his luggage.

OK, heard back from Jaki today. She said they sent out a number of closing packets out that passed ROFR on March 12th. So we should expect something in about 12 days as we passed ROFR on the 24th. Based on this looks like 3 weeks for estoppel, and she thinks we should be around the 24th to close.

I don''t know, I think HR hit the nail on the head, it goes in the black hole and when it comes out is anybody's guess.

disneymotherof3 can I get back on the waiting to close list? It's all I got.

I didn't realize that you weren't on the list. Sorry.

ROFR isn't such a bad word after all! But estoppel is!!!

OK, what DVCs are we dying to try?

I'm really only dying to try my home resort of BWV. I bought in sight unseen and can't wait to try it out.

I know most people want to try out all of the DVC's but I honestly don't have a burning desire to do that. I'm sure there will be times like my first trip home that I will have to take whatever is available but I purchased BWV because that is where I intend to stay whenever possible.

Now I just hope I love BWV as much in person as I do from the pictures and descriptions I have read.

Nancy told me when she called me and said I passed ROFR.

This is not going to help with my fear of flying issue!

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, I think you will. Honestly, I know they all have their own personalities but is there really a "bad" one? I mean, it is Disney. I say all because, frankly, I couldn't pick. I have looked at every picture that I could find of DVC and they all look so nice.

I felt that way when we bought our firt Marriott, 7 years ago. Now, I am working my way through them all, one by one! We still go to our HHI one every other summer, though. We are thinking that if we don't want to go there twice every other year, we will use our points for one of the other DVCs. We'll see. I got to pass ROFR first!!!

 

[Grandbuddy]

I think I would like to do something like this, you said to anything right:

http://www.cunard.com/CruiseItinera...lanner&Active=&Sub=&OB=&Region=&ship=&shipID=

How many points do you think I'd need.

I don't know. Transferring to the QMII sounds like a lot of trouble. Couldn't the ship just sail up Mobile Bay and drop me off a few blocks from my house?

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks, HR.

You're afraid to fly? I still don't like it but I figure when it is my time, it won't matter where I am, it WILL happen. Nothin' I can do about it. I still find myself asking my DH is this noise or that noise is normal. He flies about every week for his job.

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, that's good!!!

Maybe...if money was no object.....I could charter the Magic or the Wonder for a month and just dock it at Castaway Cay? Oh yeah!

 

[Grandbuddy]

I give you credit, to be juggling two of these nightmare fun packs at the same time, I wouldn't want to do it. I just want to get through the first one.

Even though we only bought about 1/2 the # of points we want to end up with, I want to get closed on this one, before tackling the second. (So why do I check the listings at least twice every day?????)

 

[Grandbuddy]

I like the way you think! That's an easy one; the %#@ that Minniekissedme says that I need to buy!!



I have been to the Marriott Ko Olina right where DVC is going to build. It is really nice!! Hawaii was a great trip but man was that a long plane trip!

BTW, did you guys know there is a formal night on our Sept cruise? I wondered since there is on the 7 nighters. I had not posted on the cruise thread in forever so I checked in there this am. So much for packing light...

My wife and I are pretty casual folks.

I do too. I think that is the first symptom of addonitis. We are planning to add on at some point also. I'm glad to know that I am not the only one!!

Same here. I rarely wear a dress; weddings and funerals. I may do this one, though, since we haven't done a formal night on Disney. So far, we have only done 4 nights on the Wonder.

Hey Metsokil!! How is your season going?

 

[icouldlivethere]

I would love to do a small add on at KTR when it opens. Then I would be all set.

I'm with you on the dresses. Both of my DS's are getting married this year and I am in a panic trying to find a dress. Everything I see either looks like something a teenager would wear or something my grandmother would have worn. Do you think anybody would notice if I showed up in blue jeans at my DS's weddings?

 

[minniekissedme]

hi everyone...super, super busy which is good. I have an April Fool's horror story to share from yesterday but off to go sell a house. Hopefully I'll be able to check back on the day's activities sometime tonite! It's good to be able to pay the DVC.

 

[the who #3]

i passed rofr in 19 days but they say it could be up to 25 days before i get the paper work to send with my final payment for closing. then it still takes a little while before deeds are recorded and you get on record at dvc.

i guess it is a lot of work to push all those papers and all that money! and the fact that they are doing the same thing for all of us at the same time.

evidently dvc is really selling good now. i am glad i will have a lot of other people to help me keep my home buildings and grounds in good condition.

Hey Metsokil!! How is your season going?

OK - first thing...how does this multi-quote thing work.

Second thing...if I can be patient and wait until after we close on the first contract (Lord willing - still have ROFR to get through), I will have a reason to stick around on this thread with a great group of folks, without feeling like a lurker.

Third thing...in looking at some of the listings on the GMaC site, I see some really low "per point" prices. How would these get through ROFR???

Man, you've got to get your priorities straight!

Looking forward to it!! Sell, sell, sell!!

I put the multi quote directions on the other ROFR thread for you but the last step is to hit the quote button. So here it is, hit the middle button on the right of the posting you want to highlight; it turns orange. On the last one, after doing that, hit the quote button. Ta Da!

Me too! I am hoping to wait until our Disney cruise to add on. The closing costs for HHI resale are almost twice what the Orlando properties are. You have to have an attorney in S. Carolina. So there is actually not much price difference through Disney in price per point when you break it down.

Third thing...in looking at some of the listings on the GMaC site, I see some really low "per point" prices. How would these get through ROFR???

GMAC charges a $195 admin fee on top of price per point. I have heard that Disney has to pay that if they ROFR also. That takes our price per point up to almost $72 PP if that is the case. They are also the resale outlet that Disney recommends to DVCers who go to Disney to sell. GMAC paid for that priveledge so what their contract says is anyones guess.

I try to tell you how to do it and then I hit the wrong button! Sorry about that but I think you get the gist.
