The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[colonialtinker]

Laxmom - I would try to use your points. Did you get free dining with the package you have booked? We are going the last week of August on points until the weekend when we will go to a value. DD thought it would be nice to stay at ASM. I want to bank most of my points and use them in December or January.

 

[Laxmom]

No FD for us - we are currently booked at Marriott's Grande Vista offsite. We aren't even sure that we are going to do the parks on that trip since we only have 1 full day. We may just go to DTD and then chill by the pool. I have never tried the value resorts. What are they like? We have only ever stayed on property one time and that was at Wilderness Lodge. Would love to stay there but we would need 2 rooms unless we were lucky enough to get into the villas in a two bedroom.

This will be our first time at a value. I didn't want to use the extra points for Fri. & Sat. so we decided on the value or DD decided on the value. For our August trip I plan on relaxing If we go to the parks it will be for extra magic hours only. I am not even making ADRs for this trip, we'll go outside the resort or do CS only, figured it will be too busy with free DP.

Exactly! We just want to chill before our boat sails. We aren't really making any plans for that day yet. I can't get a concensus of what everybody wants to do; it is too far out for them to get enthused yet. I am the planner so I am always working the numbers, looking for a better place or looking for deals. Right now, our villa is approx. 1800 sq. ft. at the Marriott. For the money, it is a great deal for that kind of room. If we aren't going to do WDW, then I guess it would be a waste of our points, in a way. I'll see if I can get some of them to commit before we close; it's like hearding cats!

I am the planner in my home too. I look for all the deals and do everything. That's why the Aug. trip is my vacation to just chill and not worry about anything.

Hi everyone! I am waiting for ROFR on HHI. Laxmom, your contract that passed gives me some hope. I hope if I get ROFR'd they do it quickly.

 

[minniekissedme]

Always good to have a "charge" in the support group! Good to have you here!

I made airline ressies...now I really need my points.

 

[Laxmom]

Welcome fellow HHI fan!! It is nice to have company! DVCnewgirl owns there too! You must give us details on your contract.

We love HHI. There really was no tough decison for us on where to buy. It helps that it is drivable too.

CT, I wish I could have a trip that all I had to do was go! DH wouldn't know where to start in planning a leisure trip. He uses American Express Travel for business and they do it for him. I really do enjoy the planning but I get stressed because DH travels all the time. He has pretty high standards. Also, DDIL is going on this one. Trying to please everyone.

Hi TenThousandVolts, Welcome to the support group!! I have added you to the list of people waiting for ROFR. This is a very lucky group. So far there has only been one person who got ROFR'd.

Good luck! Hopefully you will get some good news soon!

Good Morning Sunshines!

I'm hoping to hear about my BWV ROFR this week..

good morning to you...Monday has been the day so we should expect a busy day. I'm sure hoping my points come thru...I'll be checking regularly! Already checked this morning!

 

[Laxmom]

Good morning all and Happy Bday, Andy!!!!

Weird day here already. 2 hour delay for Laxlad due to heavy fog. I got and extra hours sleep! Whoo hoo. My SIL emailed me about an interview my sister and her SO did for their local paper and it was a little upsetting. She stated in it that they had been married for 21 years. No they haven't! He has asked and she refuses. They cohabitate - Ohio did a way with common law a long time ago. She also states that her sons live out of state -no they don't! One lives in, one lives out. My sister has a problem telling the truth and I haven't had enough contact with her to see it in a while. I guess it hasn't changed and I am pretty sure it won't ever; she is 63. Still digesting this info and not sure how to handle it. For now, I am really disapointed. I sure hope her kids never see it.

Anyway, have a great day guys. Gonna call our agent and find out what it means that our paperwork is in S. Carolina at attorneys. That is a step no one has had to do because of buying in Fla. Not sure what that adds to my wait. We'll see. Shoot, if an attorney is involved, I may not have my points by Labor Day!!

Hey, 10,000, congrats on the weight loss! That is terrific. Any secrets you would care to share?

 

[dvcnewgirl]

VMan Happy Birthday! Its a cold and rainy day here.. Ugh I do not want to get dressed. A fun day of grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning and changing diapers awaits!

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Always good to have a "charge" in the support group! Good to have you here!

I made airline ressies...now I really need my points.

What airline are flying?

I am still not in the system. That lady at Disney told me that some Time Share stores are slower then others but would not tell which is which but when I said TTS - she told me up to 14 days. She was nice about it - but she said 2 weeks.

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Happy Birthday, Andy! I am not sure if you saw my post of the other rofr thread, but I told you that I had been crossing my fingers for you when I saw you submitted a contract for rofr. You were so helpful to me back in 2004 when I was planning my Disney cruise. I love OKW, too- great choice for a home resort.
----
Here are the details of my contract- I am gambling on this one. I haven't seen one pass this low with the seller paying closing.

HHI - JUN - 100 pts. - 0 current points -100 '08 coming Jun. 1st-
$67 per point, seller pays all closing, legal, admin fees- buyer pays MFs.

We just had our 1st trip to HHI and LOVED it. We also own at SSR but we are definately a bit short on points.
----
Now, on the weight loss- I used the Weight Wathchers flex plan- but I didn't join - I just learned the plan and did it. It took over a year to lose all the weight. So my big tip is to not give up- even though I went months without a loss- I stuck to my plan- eventually the pounds came off. I use the WISH board here on the DIS as my support group.
----
Have a good day, all!

 

[Verandah Man]

Thanks guys!!! I had a very quiet and relaxing birthday yesterday, today it's back to the grindstone and making a living.........

 

[icouldlivethere]

Happy belated birthday V Man!! Glad to hear it was a good one!

Can't wait until 9 am to check and see if I am in the system yet. Do they give you the code you need to get on the website at the same time they give you your member number??

 

[minniekissedme]

Do they give you the code you need to get on the website at the same time they give you your member number??

Correct. Are you currently a subscriber/member on the Disney website? If so, that info will remain the same on the DVC site and that will also serve as your DVC login/password. You will just skip that step on the DVC part. If not, you will obviously do that as well.

When you get your member ID you will also get a club ID and the one time PIN number to establish the website. Then away you go. A spouse will get separate info for the same thing. The club ID is ex., 123456-1, 123456-2.
