The DVC site has a spot on the home page to keep tabs of your countdown. Then I also got this "widget" pocket watch that pops up when I log in! Has the SSR "boat" picture on one side of the pocket watch and the countdown on the other.
 
Someday I will see that!:sad2: Just not sure how soon....

Our paperwork has been at the attorney's office in S. Carolina for a week. Whatever that means.:confused3

I think I will start my own list. I think I will call it "The peeps whose paperwork is stuffed in an in basket in South Carolina" list. TPWPISIAIBISC for short. Here is the list;

Laxmom

I think it is the equivalent of the estopple list for you Florida DVCers.

Is this something unique to South Carolina? :confused3
 
Yes. Any timeshare purchase of a property in S. Carolina requires and attorney. We would have had it on the Marriott that was ROFR'd. If you buy there, make sure you add the cost into your estimate of the purchase price. It seriously increased the p/pt on our purchase. We basically paid the same as if we had bought thru Disney. That is why our add on will be thru Disney directly unless they are no longer covering the closing in S. Carolina because the attorney requirement. I haven't heard anything indicating that to be the case.

Hey Kristen!! Any luck reaching GMAC today?

Amy, I forgot to mention something. If you ever think you might trade into a DVC at WDW, don't buy a Florida TS. There is a regional block on that. We can't even see DVC's at WDW with our Grande Vista week but we can and have traded in with our HHI week. We can't see DVC HHI with our HHI week but we can see the available weeks with our Grande Vista week on Interval's website.


I did not leave a message until tonight.. maybe tomorrow.
 
I think they are there until 9pm. Well, someone is there. Keep us posted. I am so jealous!
 
you know I think I've determined this thread is full of people with disposable income. :scared1: :lmao: :rotfl:

oh wow...I noticed Mickey moved an eight of an inch on my ticker...!!!
 
Or serious addictive tendencies!!:lmao: The next version of this thread should be titled "the ROFR addicts"!
 
I think it is the alure of living life on the edge thru ROFR that gets 'em! They love the drama and suspense, me thinks!! Me? Next time I take the easy route. Yea, the closing costs for HHI are part of it; the not having to go thru ROFR again is another!
 
Hi everyone! I'm hoping that I can jump in here :)

We just put an offer in our first contract today and it was accepted! :banana: I am soooooo excited but I am starting to begin to fear the ROFR process! Any words of wisdom to help me make it through the next few weeks?
 
Hey, welcome aboard!! You must give us details though!

My advice? Cut your fingernails now!:scared1:

OOhhh another Steelers Fan!! Go BIG BEN!!!
 
If I need more than my soon to be current #%) I'm gonna SCREAM...then I'll be right back here again! How boring to purchase thru Disney. Like that poor dude going down the ski jump...the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat!
 
Exactly!! And I am sure that guy got up and jumped again....provided he lived thru it! For us, buying resale again just doesn't make sense. Now, if we purchase VWL? That's another story.
 
Hey, welcome aboard!! You must give us details though!

My advice? Cut your fingernails now!:scared1:

Hmmm, details

OKW (150 - Aug UY) 150 pts. 50 '06 pts (have to be used by 7/31/08), 150 '07 points banked and 150 '08 pts. buyer pays '08 MF $74/pt

My parents and I are splitting this. We are planning a two week trip next year so the banked points were a very good thing! We LOVE OKW and can't wait to call it home!!!
 
Nice one! You don't see one with 06 points very often. Ya' done good on that one!

Hey! Did you guys hear about the woman north of Tampa that found an alligator in her kitchen? They think it pushed thru a screen door, walked thru the living room, down the hall and into the kitchen going after her cat. The think was 8ft long! Yikes!!! And I get upset when a misquito finds its way in!
 
Tammy's good. :goodvibes

Looking forward to the May trip. Kathy ( my GF ) is finally in the system but she too, has no points. She calls me every day to curse me for encouraging her to buy..:lmao:

Did you also buy from TTS? I think they are verrrrrry slow with paperwork.:confused: I left a post on the gift basket thread today also. Got a thank you card from buying from TTS but no invite " to come pick up a basket " which I'd already planned on doing in May. :confused3

Tammy, I have to tell you that you have got to be a glutton for punishment. :rotfl: I can't believe you bought another resale so quickly. I don't think I ever want to go through this again....ever!

We placed our offer way back on Jan. 29th and it has been a long and winding road with many twists and turns along the way. I finally got a member number today but it took me all day and lots of phone calls to get it done and I was told I still may not be in the system until tomorrow.

I called MS this morning and I still wasn't in the system. After telling her my story and the fact that it has been 8 days since we closed she recommended I call TTS to have them check on things but like just about every other CM I talked to she warned me that they were very slow and it sometimes takes 2 weeks to get in the system using them.

My agent wasn't in today so I talked to another agent and told him the story and asked him if he could please check to make sure my paperwork was sent and he said it was the closing company that sends the paperwork but he would contact them and double check that my paperwork was sent in. He did agree that 8 days was a long time to not at least have your name in the system.

I got a call back saying that I did indeed close on April 15th and my paperwork was sent to Disney on April 16th but the person they sent it to was out of town and wouldn't be back until Monday.:scared1: He went on to say that he had emailed and left a voice mail for somebody else at Disney to see if she could get a hold of the paperwork that was sent to the person who is out of town and he would call me back in the next couple of days and let me know what kind of response he got.

After I hung up I waited a couple of hours and called MS again and explained my situation again and this time the wonderful CM offered to transfer me to Member Administration to see if they could help me. Now another CM had talked to MA for me a couple of days ago and told me that they had looked every where for my paperwork and didn't see it anywhere. This time I talked to someone from MA myself and she asked me for the sellers name and the old contract number from the closing papers which I gave her. She then informed me that the last thing they had received for this contract was when it went for estoppel and there wasn't any other paperwork for this contract and I needed to contact my agent again and have them resend the contract or I would never get entered in the system.:mad:

Now I was no longer just frustrated but very angry. I called TTS back and told them what I was told. I told him the name of the person I talked to in MA and he insisted there wasn't anybody who worked in MA with that name. Now I'm wondering if the names Disney CM's give you are real or if they make up pseudonyms for themselves. He called the closing company again and they swear they sent the papers. After going around and around with him he came up with another person for me to call at MA but by then I was mad and said you know what I paid you to close this contract and make sure I get in the system so he called the guy himself and then called me back to say they have the paperwork now and would enter me into the system right away and he would call me back when it was down. He called me back about an hour later with a member number and said I still might not be in the system until Thursday.

So I have a member number now but it really left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I have to give you a lot of credit Tammy for going through this again. If you ever see me on the boards discussing purchasing another resale do me a favor and just shoot me ok?;)

OK...let's start with the good stuff...Pittsburgh, PA. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: oops...says Steeler country so it could be LA! And HG, I think you need to change it to "Home of the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins!

Words of wisdom...don't read this thread, don't turn on your computer, forget what you're about to do, read War and Peace, exercise, exercise patience (boy I hope I spelled it right...I'll leave the misques to HR) and above all, do not ever utter the worst four letter word of all time, R**R.

Other than that the next seven weeks of your life will be great. :scared1:
