Good Morning ALL...which is really afternoon for most of you !! Not much exciting around here today...I have to call later today to see if I have to go in for jury duty tomorrow....Which is always a lot of fun when you have 4 children, a stay at home mom and you homeschool....

I have a question of the day.... If you did not have any points at Disney right now and you wanted to buy in.... what would you do???

For example: with KT on the horizon would you wait and buy enough their to get the 11 month window (and get the incentives) and then buy resale for the rest at another place you would like to stay?? When we made our offer at BCV I had no idea about KT...now I'm thinking if our contract does not go through what would we do? Just a thought..

I think I would go through the same process that I just did, look to resale, pick the resort right for me and buy. I just feel I get more bang for my buck, resale. As for the "imaginary Kingdom Towers" that reminds me a lot of the Wizard of Oz where the wizard tells them to "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" we all know it's there but they keep pretending, I would want to see what the points chart looks like, the price per point and all that before I did anything so as for waiting, for me anyway, I have waited long enough!!!

Okay - do I email today just for an update or do I give it a few more days. It has been 19 days since I got through ROFR and no word, although she told me not expect anything for 3 weeks and it has only been two and a half - I am on pins and needles waiting

Anyone got a suggestion or wants to tell me how many times they emailed?

Hey everyone!

Back from the PO. Sent off the new BWV contract... As soon as they recieve the check, I'm back to ROFR..

Amy, you really need to look around and decide where you want to stay most. I love the Epcot area, love the BW and decided to buy my first contract there. When I was looking for an add on, I found a BCV contract that was perfect and in the same location so made an offer and then let it go when more BWV points became available. When I want to plan a trip to Disney ( plan being the operative term ) BWV is my first choice so that's why I want to own there.

If you will be dissapointed if you can't get KT, maybe you should wait for it, but, I've heard it will go for sale to current members first, so you may need to have points somewhere to buy in.

IMHO, KT is the least ( of all the Orlando DVCs) interest to me. I hated the Contemporary. Now Poly would be another thing, but, I don't even think I'd try to get into KT with the 7 mo window.

Tammy thanks...more things to think about... I'm not a hugh fan of the CR but I like the location....on the monorail etc.... I have to say for looks I really like BCV...

And the joy continues...

Just called Nancy to see if my closing paperwork has arrived- she hasn't seen it yet..

I got the paperwork from her Thursday late afternoon, printed and shipped it off. I sent it priority because I knew the offices were closed on Saturday so it would have been a waste of money. But brilliant me didn't track the package...So, it should have gotten there Saturday, but they wouldn't get it till Monday and she gets tons of paperwork on Monday and my package hasn't made its way to her desk yet.

We're hoping all is fine...
I can't BELIEVE I didn't track a package with the check in it, except to say that I was so glad to finally get the dang paperwork, it totally slipped my mind. Cross your fingers that she gets it later today...or I will lose my mind..

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

OH YEAH ----- I JUST GOT WORD

In an email to me:

I have received notice from Timeshare Closing Services (TCS) that the final paperwork has been prepared and will be sent to you via email within 48 hours.

I am happy dancing like you wouldn't believe

 

[tammymacb]

Excellent!

Hopefully the estoppels are working out faster.

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??

We would take DH's Aunt Kay. She took DH to the MK the first month it opened. She never married and when she died, we used some of her gift to us to buy our DVC. Every time we are there, we think of her.

I'm pretty content with the plan we're trying to execute - without the savings on the resales, I wouldn't be able to buy the # of points I'll need for the use of our sons' families, and us.

I'm sure it's kicking around the office, I'd give it until tomorrow before you start to worry. It'll make it there.

10 days 14 hours 3 minutes and 31 seconds......

Tomorrow starts the single digit dance!!!

 

[tammymacb]

I'm going May 8th...Hopefully I will have closed by then..

When you get to BWV, say hello for me.

How about if I take pictures of BWV then post them on here? Maybe over on the DVC picture thread, any requests over at BWV I know laxmom wants a nice one of clown at luna park.

 

[tammymacb]

I can't wait to see pictures! Take lots!

Will you go to TTS and get your basket? I want to know what's in that too..

From what I've read you have to close first then they are supposed to send you an Email thanking you and you can come get your basket. So I don't think I will have all that done by the time I head out. I wonder if Cheryl got an Email from them about her gift basket? Cheryl??????

If you search the threads you will find info on it. I don't want to seem pushy and ask for it and at the same time it would be a convenient time to pick it up. I don't know, I guess if Cheryl gets a Email before we go I may call them to let them know I will be down there at that time. From what I've read it's filled with stuff from a store called "The Basin" or something like that. I hope someone comes on here and fills us in.
