The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[kmhollis28]

Just got our closing paperwork today! Less than 2 weeks after we got through ROFR. Hopefully closing goes as smooth as the rest of this process has

- We're planning a trip for the first week of December. DH's parents are taking the whole family for an early Christmas this year. Should be an interesting trip.

I briefly talked(should say emailed) to Nancy today. She said they do receive the checks and to watch the tracking. That they have some centralized scanning process before they reach her so we should give her a day before we call about the checks, if we feel we have to call. She said if tracking shows it is there, then they got it I am sure she gets back logged with anxious folks like all of us, but to make progress, I guess we have to be patient. I will watch the tracking and give it a few days. I am so excited I want to close yesterday, but I know all good things take time.

Have a great night everyone!

I am reeling with how quickly this whole thing has fallen into place!

We decided on Saturday that we wanted to purchase at BCV. At 9:30 last night, our agent called with three listings. We made an offer on one that had a use year and exact number of points we were seeking.

Around 5 PM today, she called to tell us the offer was accepted!!

Now we send a deposit and begin the dreaded ROFR process.

Wish us luck, and good luck to all others waiting!

I'm waiting for ROFR on a contract, and after closing (Lord willing), I'll be looking for another resale contract that will match up with the UY and SSR. Of course, if I get ROFR'd, I'll be starting over again.

Best of luck!

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ed!!!!

Congrats to all who passed ROFR or got the email for closing
I want it noted that I have never called Nancy or emailed her. I leave that up to everyone else
Tammy I read the link, I agree that was mean spirited.
Day 4 of no net at work, I actually didn't have any work to do after 10 this morning. Boy was it a boring day, I need my emails I am having withdrawal .
Grandbuddy here's some pixie dust I hope all goes well with your mom and you get to take DGS on that trip.

I am so happy for you!!! I know that was an incredibily long wait for you! Now you need to celebrate!!

I graduated from nursing school in Syracuse (Upstate Med.- Class of 1976...yeah, I'm old but in nursing, experience counts for ALOT! ) and my roommate was from Ithaca! I still have family in the Baldwinsville area. Nice area of NY this time of year, but the winters are killers unless you really LOVE buckets of snow! Love the lakes, but the "lake effect" I can live without.

I actually didn't mind the winters. You just got used to it.

OK..since there was no question of the day, lets hear about your next Disney trip plans..

I know the birthday boy has a trip coming right up!

I'm going May 5th -8th with my DH. We're staying in a BW view room. My sister, Kristen ( DVCnewgirl ) and her DH will be there but staying at AKL.

We don't have solid plans about much. We're just going to relax and have a little fun. We'll hit the parks, swim ( maybe pool hop )

Can't wait.

Let's hear details of your next trip??

We got an exchange into OKW for July 20-27th with one of our Marriott weeks. It will be our first stay in a DVC. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We have nothing planned yet but I think it will be mostly a waterpark trip this time with 1 park day in there and plenty of chill time. Then we have yet another cruise with the Mouse the week of labor day with the kids.

I have to plan my trips around my accelerated RN to BSN program. I take 1-2courses every 8-10 weeks without time off in between. They run one right after the other. I have a week off around July 4th and then again around Labor Day. That's it until Christmas break. I'm into it a year now and have another year to go. I've been adding on so I can take a great graduation trip in May of '09. My 2 younger sons will also be graduated by then too, so planning a BIG celebration then ...just don't know where. So many choices...isn't that nice? Mary

I am in an accelerated BSBA program and will be graduating about the same time you are.

We have high hopes. Such a blessing that she is still doing as well as she is, at this point.

Hey Ed -
May I first add my congrats to you on celebrating another birthday - hope it was the best one ever but not the best one yet.

Your itinerary is great! It brings back every memory I have of our park vacation days! We love the Prime Time Cafe - it's a hoot - especially when you get a great cast member to wait on you. The last time we went, I failed to finish my green beans and the waiter [Mike from Rochester, NH] brought them back to me for dessert topped with whipped cream. I made them disappear by putting the dish on a spare chair so when Mike returned to our table and looked around wonderingly I responded that I had given the beans to the dog! That was a gotcha - he broke up laughing - as did the others at our table!

I'd loveto get your review of the Cape May dinner buffet - we have not tried it yet because of all the mixed reviews I have read. With loads of seafood restaurants here in NJ and near our home in Maine we are spoiled by the quality we enjoy. We are thinking about doing the breakfast buffet there because of Goofy. We so enjoyed the character interaction when we had dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern [characters were better than some of the meal!], that we will plan another character meal on our trip next Feb.

Should you get shut out of Mickey's backyard BBQ because of weather, don't hesitate to do the Trailside buffet at Ft. Wilderness - it's Disney's best kept buffet secret and cost less the $20 for adults when we went this past Feb.

Well, since 4/20 is my birthday, I wouldn't mind joining you at all.......

Make sure and have a Mickey Bar for me!!!

We did Cape May for dinner on Friday night of our week long trip to WDW, with DDP, just after Thanksgiving. We had a hectic table, with four small children, but my meal was quite satisfactory, and our server was excellent (and patient). I remember thinking the buffet selections were quite good - and I live in a seafood town, too. (The Cape May selections will be more like what you are accustomed to, though - I live about five blocks off Mobile Bay.)

Thanx for the reply, Grandbuddy! I will add your comments to the plus side of the Cape May ledger! It's good to have a more recent evaluation!

I can relate to five blocks away - DH and I live one mile from the ocean - it's a great early morning bike ride and a good leg-stretching walk after dinner in the summer.

 

[GoofyDad13]

Wow, this thread has been busy, and today is just crazy. Just back from a trip accross the pond for work. An hour outside London with only a handheld as the hotel had issues with their internet. Not Good.

Tammymacb - I am in awe of your quest for the perfect combination of contracts,

Ed - Happy Birthday,

All who got contracts, Congrats!

Those who got other good news, congrats to you all as well.

14 Days since we passed ROFR and no news, but hopefully soon.

Question of the day: Poly for 10 nights in August (booked before DW gave OK for DVC). 10,585,660 seconds according to the countdown clock.

Good to be back, missed all the action.

 

[Laxmom]

Hi, Goofydad! Glad you're back safe and sound!

Good morning everyone!! DS had a lacrosse game last night and it didn't rain!! Of course, I couldn't go so didn't get to enjoy it. It was a very disapointing day for Laxlad. They were winning and one of their players got his lacrosse stick checked by the ref. (it's a random thing) His stick was illegal. That is a 3 minute penalty. That means our team played for 3 minutes down a player. The other team scored twice to win the game by 1. The stick was altered intentionally. DS is really angry and I don't blame him.
The team didn't get back until 11:00! It was not fun getting a teenager up at 5:45 am. It wasn't fun waiting up for him either after a 10 hour work day.

And now I am going back to bed.....Have a terrific day everyone. I'll check in after my nap full of Disney dreams!!

Love the lakes, but the "lake effect" I can live without.

I am with you! There is so much snow up here in the winter. We get hammered with the lake bands all of the time as I live North East of the city of Syracuse. It is a beautiful area but to be honest, my commute is so long in the winter that the snow gets to me. When I can sit home and go out and play in it I love it, but when I have to make that hour drive to the city, I white knuckle drive and wonder why I stay But Spring and Summer as well as fall are amazing in CNY! Too bad winter can stretch out to 4 or 5 months some years

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

I second that! Can't wait for my BWV closing docs to come

Just got back from the P.O. with the official letter from Nancy saying that I CLOSED on my BCV contract!

Let the 10 day countdown begin

YEAH!!!!! How exciting is that!!!!!
