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

I have been searching and still can’t figure out the name of the company…could someone PM me the name? TIA

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.

and see if they are willing to go ahead have MS bank the points, for your benefit. They don't lose control over the points until estoppel, do they? Seems like that would work, and it wouldn't be a whole lot of trouble for them. And I'm sorry about your dog.

I don't think they can bank them if it is already in the estopple process from what a previous post stated. How far into this are you, Colonialtinker? ROFR or estopple? I can't keep track of everybody!!

Didn't realize they were that far along. It might be a tip for all of us who are looking at contracts that could possibly to go into the last four months of the UY prior to closing/getting into the system -

Make the banking of present year points a condition of the offer to purchase!

(Unless, of course, you KNOW that you will use those points prior to expiration.)

I actually did think of this with my contract! For once, I thought ahead! We have an August UY and we will get all of our points then - banked and '08. So, our sellers already banked them for us. We won't travel until next March so I should still be outside of the 7 month window when we close so I shouldn't have problems getting our room. I can't even believe I was able to keep my head when this contract came up and think of this stuff!!

If mine goes through, I'll have plenty of time to bank points, with a December UY. Poor me, though...probably will have to take an extra last-minute trip to use the 110 banked points (and 4 holding points?) banked from '06. Just hope I have that problem!! (to DVC - "You will waive ROFR...You will waive ROFR...)

Already passed all ROFR. In Estopple on both contracts. From what I can find out I have to wait until everything closes now. On the good side DH just said we can go at the end of August So now I am trying to figure out where I can stay with those points and not lose any. Have narrowed it down to 2 places for a 5 day stay. DD won't know how to act if we go twice this summer. I will have to get AP's once we get our member ID's. I am now planning a June, August, Dec. and Feb. trips Thankfully June's trip was already planned. I hope I don't get burned out

You got it I will had off "THE LIST" on the 17th of April and this great responsibility will all be yours I have the utmost faith in your abilities!! Thank you icouldlivethere. I can can sleep now.

April 17th should be easy to remember because its my DH's birthday. Glad I can be of help. I wouldn't want you to miss out on your beauty sleep!

Congratualtions!!! Way to keep the lucky thread going!! You will now be removed from the ROFR list. icouldlivethere are you watching? This is how you manage "the list".

Watching and waiting!

After driving 6 hours last night we arrived safely at our sons house and I am sitting at his kitchen table using his laptop to take care of my addiction.

So sorry to hear of your loss! I've been there and know how hard the grieving process is. They are a part of your family and you miss them dearly when they are gone.

As far as banking your points go I think you should still have time to do it. I also have an Oct. YU and will need to bank some points when we close. I was told I had until May 31st to bank my points. If your points are in the system by the 1st or 2nd week of May you should still be able to bank them before May 31st which is the last day to bank with an Oct. YU.

So sorry to hear of you loss

I look at all of my pets as my fur children and it is very hard for the whole family. I had a plaque made for my cat when we lost him last summer. A grave marker for him with a nice poem on it and an etched picture of him. I don't think there is a lot you can do to help ease pain - my kids cried on and off for quite a while but we talked about it and they did get through it. My thoughts are with you!

I believe that you have until May 31st to bank your points. My contract that we are in the process of closing on also has a UY of Oct and that's what I was planning on doing as our closing will probably be in early May. Otherwise I would have asked the seller to bank the points, but I left it since I thought I'd wait and see when we did close and if I might be able to sneak in a trip depending on room availability. If I'm wrong on the date then I'll be asking the seller to bank the points.

Good Morning. We are having a bad day today. Our dog died earlier this week and for some reason today it has hit everyone.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved dog. My dear little basenji girl passed away almost 5 years ago. Ironically I was at Disneyworld on a business trip. I will forever picture in my mind sitting in my room at the Contemporary (and that decore they had!) while my then fiancee gave me the news. She was 15 and had been declining in health although not in any pain that we could tell of - just wearing down. I also had her cremated and she sits in the room that is used by our current furry companions. I couldn't even count the number of times that she still comes up in conversation - she was quite a character and had a big impact on our lives.
Pets are so great for the love and companionship they give - just wish that they had longer life spans as it's so hard to say goodbye. I understand completely what you're going thru.

Got this msg from Yamilin at TSS yesterday:
"Congratulations!!!!
I just received notification from Disney that they are waiving their right to purchase. This means that the package is officially yours. Generally in about 28 days you will receive final documents from Timeshare Closing Services. "

WooooHoooo! Was sure we would get the contract - a crumby 50 pts @ SSR and a stripped contract to boot! We just needed the 50 pts and the June UY.

So now we sit and wait for the closing. No need to fret about this timeframe - we are already members and have no immediate intention of securing reservations.

Contract went to Disney 3/24, so ROFR process took just under 2 wks.

Here's wishing the same success to all others waiting out the ROFR phase!

 

[Laxmom]

Congrats pb4ugo!!! That is great news! Things sure seem to be speeding up on the ROFR timeline. Maybe that is why estopple is slowing down. The huge number of contracts that were slowing ROFR down have now moved to the next step and are slowing that system down. That's my theory and I'm sticking with it!!

Can I stick with your theory I agree seems like a lot of us are now waiting for estopple. Maybe they can transfer some employees from ROFR to estopple department.
