The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[colonialtinker]

Hello again!! I found out a few minutes ago that we passed ROFR. We now have 240 points at VWL with a June UY. We are very excited. We have all of 2007 and 2008 points as well as 2006 points that will expire May 31st. Probably won't be able to use those points...what a waste. Now on to phase 2 which is a much better list to be on...hopefully.

Once you get everything settled, I would be on the phone talking to MS and trying to get in any where, so you don't lose those points. Of course this is provided you can take off and go.

Congrats on passing Good day on this thread

Congratulations and welcome to the "waiting to close" crowd!

Don't let the points go to waste. If you can make a reservation to use them up (anywhere that takes the entire point total) with the checkout date before they expire, you can then post the reservation on the DIS rent and trade board. That board sees alot of activity. Of course, that assumes you close and get the points in your account before then. Just my opinion for whatever that's worth!

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going to try to get a reservation anywhere for May if this goes through. I think if would be fun to even move around to different resorts. Maybe if we are flexible we can patchwork a trip staying at multiple resorts. We will see.

Congratulations barney 44 & Colonialtinker it's now like the DMV. You go get all excited when you pass ROFR, then you go and stand in the other long line and wait for estoppel.

I think disneymotherof3 handles the waiting to close list...I handle the check in the mail...with the survival list. I'm sure she'll catch up! She has lots to catch up on after another strong day of passes. Congrats again!

The list is moving along nicely, even though some of us, as individuals, have experienced some delays

IIII'MMMMM BBBAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!

Well, it was not a wonderful night for Kings Lacrosse. (I have decided that "lacrosse" is the french word for rain.) We lost 8-2. BUT....it was a good night for #10. He had 3 shots on goal and played hard; probably the best game (agressively) that I have seen him play ever. I am so proud of him. He was a real leader on that field tonite; encouraging his teammates. He turned out pretty good inspite of me!! I will have to post a pic of him one of these days in action.

I was soaked to the skin and am now in my Mickey jammies.

Well, my first week on the ROFR list comes to a close. Have you guys been noticing how quickly some are passing on the other thread? It is down right encouraging!!! It would be nice to only have another week to wait for this part. Here's hopin'.

Love all the tags you guys are coming up with. Very original!

You don't want back on this list that would be like starting over. Your through ROFR right? That's disneymotherof3's list. I just checked and your already on Cheryl's list! I knew we wouldn't forget Tigger & Eeyore.

Congratulations! Way to keep the string going.

In my case, time is not a real issue as we recently came back from a cash paid trip for 6 nights at BW Inn Concierge and I know DVC will save us a bundle. Also, my seller can't close til late May so it seems to be moving just fine for me. I will say I think the slowing economy is facillitating quicker ROFR, Disney does not want to chase down annual dues or pony up the money to purchase so this is a real good time to be buying.

ouch...that's not very nice...I saw Spirit airlines on another thread had some $18 fare...check them out if they are nearby.

Or can we all just stay and cheer on other folks as they pass through? (Since I'll be looking for another contract, immediately after closing - I hope - on this one, guess I'll be around for awhile, anyway.) I'll feel like I'm losing friends, if everybody just goes about their business.

I'm not going anywhere. I will not be looking for an add-on...as I told someone else, we already jumped into the deep end of the pool! As a "lurker" this thread was super helpful...I hope I can help in return. Since this thread started only one person, disneymotherof3, has actually cashed in! A few of us are that much closer...tammymac - founder, one of them. She'll never leave...she shops too much!
