The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Like you Tig...I'm hoping the DVC will get my parents to go with us, too. They are getting a bit older and actually moved closer to us to be near my kids and my brother's family. Doing WDW would be a lot for them only in the sense they have no interest in keeping up with us. But to get them to "hang" at SSR would be very realistic!

To be honest, that is how I found DVC resale. I was searching for a way to be able to afford to get them there. Even if they can't do everyday at the park, I wanted to get them there. My DH and I were investigating and I have a person at work that owns a DVC timeshare. When we researched it was came across TTS - it was an easy decision. We love Disney, it would allow us to get her there in an investment sense and we can go A LOT - a win win situation!!!!! I am so excited about this. I am going to email the closing company today to see if they have heard anything - it has been two weeks tomorrow since I touched base with them -

That is great that your parents moved closer. Mine are about 1 hour 15 minutes from me and it seems like forever sometimes with crazy schedule of 4 kids.

I'm glad there is only one Monday a week!

Amen to that sister!!!

They were only about 40 minutes away and when the kids were younger and I had a real job they would come out a couple times a week to watch them. We saw them regularly at church and now that they are close, my dad lives for them...loves going to all their stuff even if he's bored to tears! And my kids love it, too!

I was the only one that moved away. They have my sis and brother with in 5 minutes of them so I don't think I have any chance of them moving

They are also Florida visitors - they pack up their 5th wheel and spend most of the winter in Florida. They are the reason I love Florida so much - this year of course with family affairs, they stayed home to help my sister but most years they are gone from the day after x-mas to the end of April. Anything to get away from the this CNY weather

Was it Laxmom that said TG there is only one Monday a week - I agree! Your weather sounds like mine, maybe spring is finally coming to our neck of the woods, although my hopes are not up yet

OMG just I checked my email…getting ready to go to work and there was an email from Jaki saying my BWV closed and information on how to get my membership number. (I just wired the money on Wed) What a way to start out my Monday! Good luck to everyone today…I have a feeling it’s going to be a lucky day! Off to work now...

Allow me to propose a question for today. If you would be able to take anyone person to WDW with you, who would it be?? I'd like to be able to take my grandfather Burt. He died much to young...he was a blast. He was big time into horticulture...would have loved WDW. He was a great guy to hang out with, enjoy a good dinner and a drink, and would have been a great DVC'er.

I'll be around for a bit...hope everyone gets a little today!

I think your question of the day for me is easy and I get to do it every year I'd take my DW. First of all because WDW is the most fun with her. Secondly, because she'd punch me in the face if I picked anyone else to go with.

It's all good fun 'til your wife punches you!

Good Morning Sunshines! I missed you all this weekend. Work was busy and I was a tad under the weather and crabby...I'm much better today.

Tink, congrats! I sent off my check on Thursday so I'm hoping that I'll hear something soon. ( Not to mention that my closing date is the 9th so I deserve it )

I love to go to Disney with my parents and my sister, Kristen.

This December I went and shared a room with them. ( Kris got 2 BWV studios ). Next time I'll have my own room. Kris and I will take turns using points to take our parents. So next trip to Dis, I'll use the points for their room. Then Kris does it again...

I can't wait to go again it December. It was my favorite trip to Disney ever.

And "Good Morning" to all!

A very plasant spring morning here, with the birds singing outside the window. Supposed to be 80 degrees later in the day, and more shrubbery (actually, nine-foot tall azaleas!) to try to trim down - has to be done every once in awhile to try to get the jungle vines out of them.

For the ? of the day - I wish I could take my folks, but they aren't able to go too much any more. They love coming down here, and were able to make a trip down week before last, for the first time in a long time (even though I regularly offer to go get them and bring them down - it's "too much trouble.") This trip was especially bittersweet, as Mom will have hospice with her, soon.

So, for practicality's sake, and going by our experience from this past December, I'm going to say there's not much to compare to sharing WDW with your grandkids (which is why I'm in this thread, to begin with). And this time next Monday, Lord willing, the wife and I will be pulling out of Fairhope with a (nearly) 4-yr-old in his carseat, watching Disney movies on DVD, and saying, "Are we almost there?" by the time we clear the block - heading to Pop Century for four nights.

He doesn't know he's going, as a change in my Mom's condition (she is really doing fairly well, right now) would scuttle the trip. So we're also looking forward to seeing his face when he finds out he is NOT just going to 'Buddy and DeeDee's house for the week!

Good luck to all, today.

Grandbuddy, that's awesome! You'll have such a great trip.

That's a tough one. There's so many people that we want to take with us! This trip we're taking my mom and stepdad with us. It's their 10th Anniversary present from us. Next trip we're planning on taking my best friend and her family. She's the sister I never had and vice versa! We love getting together with them! It's hard to get together with family and some friends because we live so far from them (4-5 hours away). But when you're a military family, where you go, they visit!!

That's sooooo awesome!!!! He will be thrilled beyond belief!!! That's one of the reasons we bought into DVC. We want to be able to take our kids and grandchildren (which aren't going to be around for a long time) to WDW and create the best of vacation memories.
