The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[fourkidsphoto]

Hello all, I haven't posted in a while. Been extremely busy lately. We did get our paperwork from the title company..so now we send in the remaining funds. Hopefully we will get this closed so we can use the points that will expire May 31st. I just really want to make our first reservation. And Amy..we were in Lake County in Northern California last October. We were there for the harvesting of the grapes. One of the most beautiful parts of the country I have seen. How lucky you are to live there. Have a great day all!

Congratulations fourkidsphoto!! It won't be long now!

We closed last Tuesday and got an email on Friday from our broker. I wonder if we have the same broker. I have a funny feeling that even though we closed on Tuesday our paperwork wasn't sent to Disney until Friday.

The lady I talked to at MS said that TTS can be very slow and that it wasn't unusual for it to take 2 weeks. When you figure they tell you it can take up to 10 days once Disney has your paperwork and if my broker waited several days to get my paperwork out that would bring it up to 2 weeks.

I do call every day just in case. I'm finding this to be even more frustrating than waiting for ROFR or waiting to close. I really wanted to get on a waiting list at my home resort for early December before the 7 month window opens up. If if it takes them 2 weeks just to get my name in the system and then several more days to get my points it's going to be cutting things close.

It is very frustrating. I guess I have the attitude of, we closed, we should be there. But probably just as frustrating to be there and not see your points yet - I hope that doesn't happen too. I call everyday around noon time to see. I don't even know if they have anything available yet

Good Morning Sunshines!

You all, I'm so sorry about the show closings. I know how frustrating it is and when your hands are tied....I didn't ever think my estoppel paperwork would come. I think I still hold the record ( of the group ) for deposit to closing.. It sucked.

Well, here I go again. I got an email yesterday that my second BWV contract has passed ROFR. Admittedly, I'm in a much better place to wait this time. I have all the ressies I need until the girls trip this fall and that one's pretty off the cuff. We haven't even picked dates yet.

Well, the 12 day marathon is finally over. I've got to say, I must be getting older because I'm exausted. All I want to do today is rest...but at least it's finished.

Hope you hear something soon about your contracts- I know my friend Kathy ( not on this thread ) who found out she closed last week isn't in the system yet either, and she's trying to waitlist Memorial Week so she's in a tough spot right now.

Congratulations Tammy!!! I will remove you from the dreadful waiting to pass ROFR list. I hope the waiting to close estoppel process goes quicker for you this time around. Is it just as much fun the second time around??!!

I agree!! Unfortunately, it's pretty much guaranteed that when you get in the system your points will not be there yet. As I understand it entering your name in the system and adding your points to your contract are done by 2 different people. So even after we get our member number we will still have to wait for our points but at least we will be able to get on the member website.

Even though I closed a day before you I have a feeling both of our contracts went to Disney on Friday meaning we'll probably both show up in the system around the same time. Please post after you call MS at noon and let me know if you are in yet. I will call later this afternoon and post here if I am in yet.

I don't know if there is anything available yet for my dates either. I did see on another thread that all of the studios are completely booked for BWV for early December so I am assuming I will have to waitlist. I would just like to get on the waitlist before the 7 month window opens up.

I did see on that same thread that there was still availability at both OKW and SSR but I don't know what type of rooms are available. I'll probably try and see if I can book something at the 7 month window while waiting to see if the waitlist comes through.

Congrats Tammy and everone else who got good news! What is the over-under on Tammy's estopple? I need to go to Vagas for work in a couple of days and am looking for a way to cover next years maint. fees.

I can understand peoples frustration with getting in the system. As soon as we have points I am going to be looking for a studio late December at BWV, and as others have said, would like to get in (probably not) or at least on the wait list before others can at the 7 month mark. I really want our first trip home to be to our home resort.

Good luck to all, and HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY ANIMAL KINGDOM.

That sounds like a plan. That way we will cover two times of day and if one of us shows up, assuming we are in the same group, maybe the other will get lucky too. I am looking for either a 2 BDRM or GV at Old Key West for either Nov 16th to the 21st but preferably from November 30 to December 5th. If you see a thread that talks about that let me know.

I am like you, I want to "Go Home" for my first trip to Disney as a DVC member. I am so anxious to book that I think I will be grey by the time I can. Who would have thought this would be so stressful, more stressful then closing on a house

 

[TenThousandVolts]

How do you know when your contract has been submitted for rofr- does your sales agent tell you?

Mine probably isn't even in Disney's hands yet. Our offer was accepted Thursday and we faxed the signed contract back Saturday. I thought I would just fax it back and then wait a few weeks to hear something and not worry about it in between. But now I can't get it off my mind.

 

[tammymacb]

If you bought through TTS, you will receive a mass generated email letting you know that your contract was submitted "today".

That's all I can say for sure, because TTS had the contracts I wanted.

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

That is how I was notifed too - through TTS with mass email. They do the same with notification on passing ROFR.

I called Disney - still not in. I called TTS for details and he said the closing company sends in the paper work and then it is a two step process for Disney - first my name will appear and then a few days later my points will appear. It is two different areas that do this. More waiting - I sure hope I can book by the end of this week but it doesn't look promising for me

I just got an email this morning that our sellers have gotten all their paperwork in and we are now officially waiting on ROFR. Jaki said she would let us know in about 2 weeks.

 

[tammymacb]

That stinks!

MY GF wants to go May 25th- 29th and she isn't in yet either. She's not even going to be able to wait list at this point. She may have to call day by day. I know she's really stressed out about it and I've told her next year will be better as she'll have her points and be able to plan. But, I hate that her first "hoped for"vacation with DVC is so messed up..

 

[tammymacb]

I hope Ed is having prettier weather in Orlando than we're having in Charleston right now. It's cloudy and chilly again...this has been a wierd spring.

A little birdie has told me that a certain DVCnewgirl ( aka Kristen ) is currently trolling for an add on. Can't wait to see what she decides on..

I'm having a suddon urge to book AKL concierge and do the Sunset Safari. Unfortunately, I think the only way to get it would be to own ALK, ( which I don't ) and I am NOT doing an add on right now..

Congratulations mmcguire!! I have added you to the dreaded waiting for ROFR list. May your stay be short and may you quickly pass on to the equally dreadful waiting to close list!

Drat!! I'll call in a couple of hours and see if I'm in yet and let you know what I find out. Last time I called I got this really nice gal so I thought I would take a chance and ask her if she could check availability for me and she said sorry not without a member ID. Can't blame a girl for trying.

Oh man!! I think you really need to take something for that bad case of addonitis you have. You've already added on during one attack and I can sense another attack coming on!

ok...someone has permission to smack me...I told the recouping DW that I wouldn't call to inquire about my points. Fortunately she doesn't know but I called! I can't help it...I just want my points...I really don't think it's asking for a whole lot. CMO Justin...if you're ears start burning, can you hook me up!

On the good side, they have 2BR's available at SSR!!! I think we've convinced DM&D to tag along!!!

 

[tammymacb]

My GF Kathy called today and got her member ID. She also found out she closed on Wednesday. No points in the system yet, but an ID.

However, they wouldn't give her the pin # to get to DVCmember site. Said that until she gets her points in, she can't register?

I know that using the site is HOW I found out when my points came in.

 

[minniekissedme]

funny how life just isn't consistent! They couldn't have been any more nice when I called last week.
