Just wanted to check in (thanks Laxmom for the head's up)...

I'm going through ROFR (submitted on April 3-yeah, I know it's only been 6 days-can you tell patience is not one of my virtues!?! ) and although I haven't "officially" received my points, I've already started a spreadsheet outlining the trips I want to take through 2012 (I guess my patience gene was replaced by the anal-retentive gene )!

Anyway, good luck to everyone-I hope this is over soon because I have a ton of reservation questions....

Hi, Cherta and welcome to ROFR land!!

You and Holiday Road (HR) should get along great! Patience is his strong suit! ......NOT!

So tell us the details - where, how many and UY! After this list, you have a couple more - the waiting to close and the lived to tell about it list!

 

[minniekissedme]

Anyway - MOVE ME TO THE "LIVED THROUGH ROFR" LIST!! Then, in a month or two, I shall do it to myself all over again.

That was priceless...you remind me of my own grandbuddy...and that's a big compliment! Congratulations!

Congrats!!!

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!

Congratulations and welcome to this friendly looney bin! Good luck with the ROFR process. Everyone has been on a winning streak lately and hopefully you'll be no different.

Congrats!! Guess the pixie dust worked hope you save some for your trip.
Laxmom - DD use to work in a bank, one of the branches, not hers was robbed she decided banking wasn't for her after that.
I love this thread everyone is so nice. I have been on very few threads with posts from Aunt Edna types. Life is too short to deal with negative people, I preferred to deal with happy people


Here is some for everyone.

[mommacat56]

Who wants to come? It'll be fun I promise!!!

ME ME ME, Pick me, Pick me. I'm just down the Mass Pike a wee bit. Oh, drat...Can't get the time off , but will be with you in spirit. Your plans look great! Have a great time.

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

We just don't own enough points (yet ) to be at our favorite home resort at WDW for long enough to avoid 3 to 4 months of those winters! Guess we have to look for some more Do you live anywhere near Sandy Beach (like that place is any thing like it's name)? It used to get just hammered as I recall.

The three amigos are still in elementary school so it's no tragedy taking them out of school. DS11 starts middle school next year so that may alter those plans.

That's about the age when we stopped taking ours out of school too. It was just too tough for them to catch up on all the homework after being out for a week or more. We'd get the teachers to give them their assignments, take all their books and folders, and TRY to get them to think about doing it. NEVER HAPPENED! Don't even bother...they'll just have to catch up. But those memories...wouldn't trade it for the world.

When our offer was accepted for these points, my DH actually said, "Only 49 more weeks to buy timeshares for!"

 

[mommacat56]

Can you believe it! It has been 3 DAYS and no word from Disney!!!

Just kidding! Good morning all. I wanted to share with you all the reason I bought into DVC.

This was the first time she saw the Castle!

Priceless! She's beautiful ...How old? I think all of us have a moment like that which confirmed our purchase was spot on!

 

[colonialtinker]

Do you hear that HR, Colonialtinker has patients too!!!

Okay give me a break, I do know how to spell patience (patients). Dealing with crying DD who fell off her scooter and now has very large bruise on her buttocks. Trying not to laugh but, she is such a drama queen. Since she reads parts of these I better not say too much about the Drama Queen.

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, I'm sorry!! I thought you were teasing HR for the thread last week!!

Hope DD recovers quickly!!
