The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[icouldlivethere]

Well, with Verizon I get all that free web-space to play with, I was using it for football the past few years but I have decided to change it up a bit and throw together a little Disney Site with a trip blog. I stole most of the pics off the Internet somewhere that I used. I figure I'm not using it for a profit so nobody should get too upset. My IT expertise is not the Internet so if anyone knows about web design and the rules that govern it please let me know if I'm violating anything. I generally just right click on o picture I like and save it, so I don't even know where a lot of them came from. Anyway, it still very primitive and under construction but I thought I would run it by you people, let me know what you think. Thanks

It looks wonderful! Can't wait to see pictures from your trip when you get back to tide me over until I get to go!

Thank you. I will definitely post some on here and my new site.

It is amazing how fast you can get behind here.

Jax - Sorry about the ROFR, looking forward to seeing the better one that will take its place

Lax - congrats to both mom (extra day to air out) and lad!

Ed - Site looks good, can't wait to see the pics and info on BWV.

ROFR idol - The maigical mystery tour is waiting to take you away, .....

QOFD - as kids have noever been to the original, I would have to second the combo trip. GCV for 4 days, and then off to Hawaii.

and, good luck and congrats to all (lunch is over, got to get back to work).

I just found out I'm not as far as long in the process as I first thought. All the paperwork was sent over for the ROFR this past Monday April 7th, not Friday the 4th, hey, what's a couple of days between friends.........

 

[millerse36]

I'm the new guy out here...just got 180 points at SSR for $78 a point. I'll have 206 points waiting for me when the paperwork finally goes through. I sent my check to them last Friday. Ouch.

I know Grandbuddy..one of those little boys in his pictures is best friends with my daughter. Love his family. Thanks, Jerry for letting me know about the site.

Can't wait to find an opening for the first 2 weeks of December for my first DVC trip!

Happy Friday all!

This is a picture we took from the beach at Marriott's Ko Olina on Oahu. This is the area where the DVC is supposed to be built. I thought all of you waiting for Hawaii DVC might enjoy this!!

Welcome Millerse36!!

No Minnie, not hats just magic wands!! LOL

V-man, our sellers added a week to our wait so I understand no being as far along as you thought. They took a week to get their paperwork back - they wanted to hand deliver it. Nice thought but I'm waiting here! LOL

I would have to say GCV for me too. Hawaii was a killer plane trip for us. It was really hard. Nice trip, been there, got the t-shirt. Next.... I would recommend it for everyone once but I am in no hurry to go back unless I went to a different island. So many destinations, so little time!! Anyway, we were in Southern Cal a few years ago and went to the Grand Californian for dinner. We didn't do the park so I think it would be really fun to go and stay there. I expect that location to sell out really fast!!!

Beautiful photo.......I'd just like to try and get there once, before my time here is finished..........

The trip we took just fell into our laps. It wasn't something that we set out to do. We got a quick trade in into a studio. Then we were later able to upgrade to a 2 bedroom. When you figure out that the lodging was already paid for, all we had was food and lodging. We used Marriott reward points for the rental car. All totaled - $2500 for three. When the DVC out there opens, you will get there! At first there will be limited availability because everyone who buys will want to stay but things we ease up a little over time. There is also the option of staying at another timeshare by trading through Interval. Keep your eyes open for an opportunity. It will happen. I can feel it!!

Guess who closed today!

Got an email from Nancy. Now I'm just waiting for my member #!

I'm still at work and I'll be back in a little bit.

 

[Laxmom]

YEAHHH!!!! Tammy that is fantastic!!! You lived to tell about it!!!! One down, one to go!!!

Welcome Home!!!!


Well, DH cannot say one word about the smoky house. He drove in from New York in a rental car today. He drove down to return the car at the Cincinnati Airport and forgot his keys to his car that is parked at the airport. So, now I need to drive down and take him his keys. It is 45 minutes to and hour one way. Check mate!!

I had to get Laxlad off to practice and wait for rush hour traffic to chill before I attempt to drive through Cincinnati. It is exactly opposite us on the other side of Cincy in Kentucky. (Yes, the Cincinnati airport is actually in Ky.) Right now, I don't care if he does smell smoke!!

Welcome aboard! You already have friends on here to start with and you'll make some more. That's always a good thing. We can't make it go any faster but at least your not suffering alone!

ROFR is a four letter word.

Congratulations Tammy!!!! I bet that will make the last ten days of work a little more tolerable. One down, one to go.

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 know how it feels. Happened to me in Feb/Mar on a BWV contract. It was also a stripped contract and I knew I was pushing the limits of Disney generosity (if there is such a thing) pricewise.

Hope all goes better next time (I'm sure you'll pick yourself up, dust off, and buy again)!

 

[mommacat56]

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!

Hey Tink!

I just got home and today is 10 days (actually 9 to be exact )from my closing date...AND MY POINTS ARE IN MY ACCOUNT! They have to manually enter your contract's points into the system, so give them a little more time and they'll be there. I know the waiting is the worst part. Before you know it, it'll be day 10!

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.

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

There is just plain havoc going on now in the airline industry. What with all the cancellations on American this past week, it has to have all the others overloaded (assuming they're still in busines ). Hope he gets home not too exhausted. I don't do long drives well.

Very surprised about the results of AI last night too.

 

[mommacat56]

I am taking my daughter to Busch Gardens today, it is supposed to be beautiful out. I am getting there right at opening I am hoping to avoid the Friday crowds, so we are only going for a couple hours. TGIF!

QOTD: If you could where would you go first: DVC Hawaii, DVC California, Paris Disney, or Hong Kong Disney?

I can not wait to go to DVC Hawaii. I am so excited for it. I have never been to Hawaii and having a DVC with some great kids programs is going to be PERFECT!

I'm with you on choosing Hawaii Can't wait 'til that's an option for all of us. Anyone willing to venture aguess as to the point requirements?
