The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[bookwormde]

Yes I am back again

Sorry for your luck JaxDisneyFans. Stripped contracts are always hard to get good value out of and still pass ROFR. From my calculation Disney seems to use a much lower value than the $10-12/pt members do, more like $4-6/pt for their calculations.

It makes it easier for me to post mine though (I did not want to be the one to post a contract that might break the streak).

Here it is, 150 OKW (april) $68/pt 0 banked 131 current year all 2009 buyer pays 75% of 2008 dues, buyer pays closing. Going to ROFR tomorrow. Hope that’s everything. Oh yea new member (really wanted a Dec but an April will work)

It is definitely a toss up, though it is hard to tell in these market conditions.

Have a settle date of 6/1/08 (hopefully) so I can get my points in place before the 60 day mark before my Florida vacation, 8/10/08-8/19/08. Just going to try to get 4-5 weekdays during that time (1 or preferably 2 bedroom at any WDW DVC)

With all the SSR contracts coming available below $80 I am hoping they are to busy supporting that market to bother with mine.

Lots of extra pixie dust will probably be needed.

Not that big a deal if it does not go through, my next trip is not till 6/2010 (GV 5 day hopefully)

Looking forward to “hanging out”

We're looking forward to hanging out with you, too. Not much activity today, though. I think we're all helping Jax mourn a little before he finds an even better deal.

Bad news, we just got the dreaded call. Disney has exercised the ROFR. We are bummed, but not discouraged.

Hope all goes better for those still waiting.

I'm sorry to hear that Disney took it. But you have the right attitude! The right contract is out there! You'll find it!

Good luck with that!

You said please don't laugh but it's really, really hard. I'm getting an ice cream headache holding it in. You said earlier you remembered the crossing over ceremony from cub scouts, you weren't a den leader were you? I just get this picture of you (my version of what you look like, now that I have posted you all know what I look like) standing in front of your fireplace with twelve, seven year old kids in their little cub scout outfits "Now boys, the first thing you want to do is assume the flue is closed so just reach in and switch it the other way, then..."

No, but DH was. I would never have lived that down!!

Add me in waiting for bcv had a lot of problems grandson in hospital has been very ill did not send contracts in to late hope it still goes through

Welcome aboard! My prayers are with your family!

I understand Jax. Marriott ROFR'd a contract from us last month. I totally believe that you will find a better one. We did. We decided to go DVC which is really what we wanted to begin with. You will land in a field of clover!! I just know it!!

I'm thinking you're going to find a contract that's not stripped, that you'll be much happier with, in the long run. To tell the truth, so many contracts had gotten through ROFR that I had steeled myself to be the one that Disney chose to buy - to keep us all on our toes, and keep us from getting too cocky. I thought our banked and available points might be too attractive for them. Who knew they'd go after a contract that didn't even have any points available for that long?!

Get you another good one. Good luck.

I think sometimes the UY plays into it too. If it is something they need for any reason- UY, Price, resort, - they will buy it.


So big non DVC news in this house tonite!!! Kings JV won their first game 9 to 5. And Laxlad had a hat trick!!!!! OMG!!!!! That is 3 goals in 1 game. He is so pumped and it is so great to see him so excited. His Dad is going to buy 3 white balloons and tie them on the mailbox tomorrow in honor of the three white lacrosse balls that found the net!! Oh, and this is his first hat trick.

Well, the steak was broken today but that was only a matter of time. The real strength of this thread is not the winning strength it's the feeling of community and is still just as strong. I will not rest until JaxDisneyFans is back on this list, passes and then moves onto Cheryl's list!

ABSOLUTELY!!! Jax, let us know what type of contract you are looking for. We would be happy to keep our eyes open for you!

 

[HolidayRoad]

Just curious for those of you that are towards the end of your closing process. A few have mentioned that the sellers have been slow in signing and returning documents. Were they they same way in responding to your intial offer and signing those contracts?
I'm starting to get antsy on our closing and am spending time speculating on how quickly we'll get it done! I don't know how I'm going to handle the rest of the wait!!!

I'm with you, I bothered everybody enough during the process I'm scared to start to bug them about the closing. I sent the money and the paperwork, how long until you start to bug them? Who knows how long I can hold out.

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks Colonialtinker!! I will pass your congrats on to him when he gets home. I left a few minutes into the 3rd quarter of the Varsity game. My back can only handle those bleachers for so long.

I received my membership number and validation code to log on to mydvc.com today but I don't see my points yet. I have an Oct UY with 100 banked '07 points...(the resale company did tell me not to call for my # until day 10, this is just day 4) Any suggestions would be appreciated...maybe I'm just not looking in the right place!

It takes a few days. I called everyday to check. I found out by calling that my points had been deposited.

Ok, thanks...maybe that's why they told me NOT to call until day 10!!!

 

[Barb]

Just sent the deposit check on a small (very small) add-on. So we're on the "pateintly" waiting list now too.

 

[Laxmom]

Congrats Barb and welcome aboard. You must spill the details!! Inquiring minds want to know - where, how many and UY!! Come on!! Spill the beans!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Congrats for Laxlad's hat trick, that's good for three

Just got in a little bit ago from our DD school musical "The King and I".
This was the first of four shows between tonight and Sunday afternoon. The kids did an amazing job, we are so very proud of all of them!!! The standing ovation the cast received, was very well deserved.

Now, it's time to hit the hay and get some sleep. Good Night All....

 

[M-I-C-K-E-Y]

We signed the documents tonight and are sending in the deposit check tomorrow. Thus the big ROFR wait begins...here's hoping!

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks for the good wishes for Laxlad. He is still on !!

I love "The King and I"! Actually any Rogers and Hammerstein!

Welcome aboard Mickey! You have to tell us the details of your contract so we can "oohhh" and "aaahhh". Gotta share the joy on this thread!

 

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines!

Here's looking at day 2 of 12.. I can't wait til this stretch is over.

Congrats and good luck to our new waiters! Tink awesome on you getting your card!

( For those who have asked, no I haven't closed yet )



Laxmom, congrats on the win!!

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, I almost forgot! DH was supposed to fly home last night. (I thought it was tonite!) He got stranded in Syracuse. The bad storms in the Chicago area kept his flight from leaving NY. He waited and waited - was supposed to leave at 5pm. At 9.00, they still weren't sure when he would get out and he had already missed his connection in Chicago. Sooooo......he rented a car and is driving. He said he would drive unitl he got to Cleveland and then stop for the night. He hopes to be home by lunch. And he was not flying AA! It was United.

Day 11 for us. I don't expect to hear anything until next week so I won't start the nervous twitch until Monday! Our sellers weren't very quick in getting the paperwork in so our contract didn't actually go to Disney unilt 4/1. They took a week to get it back. They wanted to hand deliver it on their trip. I sure hope they are quicker on the closing paperwork!!

Thanks, Tammy!! That' my boy!! We told him there would be a dinner at his favorite restaurant for every additional hat trick!

I was surprised that Michael Johns went home, anyone else? It is getting tougher to figure now.
