The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

What does ROFR stand for? I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and and can't figure it out.

Hi and welcome!! It is Right of First Refusal. Disney has the right to buy your contract if your purchase price is too low. I had a Marriott week last month that they bought back because they wanted it at the price I was paying.

Thanks Guys! I know I did the right thing in my mind. Vet said nothing more we could do. I am going to think of positives now and try to get out of the fog.

I do have a question. Does any one think that Disney will let me bank some of my points, even though I will be pass the 4 month window once I close? The first contract should have everything completed and points in our account by the 1 or 2 week of May, since the contract has a Oct. YU I will be pass the banking window.

I have seen that question asked before and people were told to ask MS when you first get in the system. There are reports that they have permitted it. If not, you could rent them at $10-$12 a point and recoup some of your purchase price. (That is the going rate - if not more like $14-$15)

Love the photo!! I have a picture of our dog that I swear is smiling with DD & DH. It is my favorite picture! I think I may make DD a coolage this weekend for her wall of photos and take your idea of Loving Memory.

You guys are great and have really helped this morning

If you can post it, I would love to see it. I'm glad to hear we have helped in some small way. I think that is why God puts us through these challenges; so we can help others when their time comes to deal with the same kind of things.

I love the picture, Vman. I wish I had a pic of K.C. on this computer to post!

This is for points bought NOT thru Disney?

Yup. DVC contracts thru resale.

Will have to wait until DH gets home. Tried to find it but its on his computer in one of his folders. I just don't know which folder, he has over 50 photo folders

CT...sorry about the dog...It's been 30 years since I had the experience...I was actually on vacation, came home, and my parents told me they had to put the dog down. She was my dog...I was pretty po'd they didn't call me or anything.

On the quote above...my resale agent, ********, hooked us up bigtime on this. My contract has 342 '07 points, June UY. She said that Disney will permit under certain circumstances, the seller to bank those points. From what I recall, those circumstances are related to their previous banking habits. IF they never banked, Disney may allow. ******** apparently asked the seller to call and ask Disney if they would be allowed to bank and presto, 342 points are now banked for me when I close rather than expire June 1.

I'd call whomever you used and inquire, pronto. Another good thing to say about ******** in my book.

Now that I am capable of using multi-quote, I have decided not to use it and see how long it takes me to catch up to the number of posts my friend "Porch" has...just a bit over 19,000 to go...

You guys were up early for a Saturday...yoi.

You are a good mom Laxmom if you stayed out in the rain...

I would have ducked for cover unless of course I'm coaching.

 

[Laxmom]

Do you still try to type in her name or do you just go straight for the *****?

He just looked so good out there! As soon as his game was over, we were out of there!!!!

Yea, well, my dream of 400 DVC points at SSR woke me up!!

I started to use the *** but then I wanted to be accurate and I had to count the damn things...so I just spelled s h o n t e ...and it was easier!

We live in the world of technology...let the machine do the work!

How about that...we're taking over the world...

So Disneholic...just lurking?
Contemplating the shallow end or the deep end of the pool? You've come to the right place...

Don't feel bad, I've been on these boards over five years now, and I'm still learing what some of the abbreviations are...........

You know what is funny, while I was reading your post, and all the talk of doggies here this morning, I read the word "Pooch" instead of "Porch", I was wondering who "Pooch" was........

Thanks a lot. I never got to the part of the dream that mentioned where we got the money for this!! DARN!!! I'm sure there must have been some creative financing or long lost relative....

you must have been working with my bank

 

[Laxmom]

That wouldn't have been a dream......it would have been a nightmare!!

I just thought it was funny that it was your resort, at that magic number that we joked about after Tammy went shopping.

Good Morning. We are having a bad day today. Our dog died earlier this week and for some reason today it has hit everyone. DD8 and I have been crying for abour an hour. I finally got her back in bed, she woke up at 5. We have had the dog for 7 years. She got pneumonia 2 weeks ago and just couldn't get over it. Caught her standing out in the rain the day before she died. Anyone know how I can make DD feel better, without going and getting another dog. I want to wait a while before I get her another. We always go to the pound and get animals that are due to be put to sleep. Makes me feel good that I saved a life.

I'm so sorry about your dog, your right a lot of people don't really get why people get so upset when they lose a pet, I guess the same way people just don't get this whole Disney thing. I really wish I had a way to make your DD feel better but I really don't think there is a way, barring another dog and even doing that will help her move on maybe a little quicker but the only thing that is going to help is time. My family and I are also animal people, a dog, a cat, a rabbit, fish, Guinea pig as of right now, so I have been there and can empathise. I think the best thing that can come out of this is that your teaching your DD an extremely valuable lesson about life. We all protect our children and shelter them as much as possible but death is something that we have no control over and with the life and death of our pets children learn about this process and it will make her a stronger person. Once again I'm so sorry for your loss.
