The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Small world, at least I'll be able to remember your B'day. Make sure you ask for the birthday button when your there. DD loved everyone telling DH Happy Birthday and her telling everyone how old he was I decided at that point we were never going for my B'day. I want my age to be kept a secret

I did not know they did birthday buttons. Where do you ask for them? I will be 38 so still not too bad admitting my age. I had my first DD when I was 20 so I love to hear how I don't look old enough to be her mother

We received the following late last night "The information was received by the title company today so that they can prepare the documents for closing next week. We are happy as Disney has taken much too long for the info but they are swamped as this is busy season. But anyway, good news, we are almost there!!. I will send you instructions for the closing when I get the documents for my approval from the title company" Looks like we're getting ready to send another check. This time I have already have the money in the checking account no transfers from one account to another.

Congratulations Colonialtinker!

Feels good, huh? We received the exact same email last night about our VWL contract. Money's all ready to go when they get the docs ready. I'm so glad to be nearing the end of the process!

We celebrated my 40th BD at DL - best thing we ever decided to do! My DH picked up the BD button from the hotel front desk. At MK in WDW you can also go to the Town Hall and they'll prepare one for you.

DD that will be a freshmen in college is going with us - I wanted her too but left it up to her. I was so glad when she decided to come. She said she will baby sit the other three so we can go to dinner that evening, just the two of us. I thought how sweet. What a romantic bday dinner that will be

My DD is going into pre-med - she wants to be a neonatologist. We live about 45 minutes from her college but she plans to live there. I can't believe how pricy college is these days.

Whooo Hoooo, Kat!

Thanks! I'm now saying - "We heard from Disney and the ground shook!" 4.7 earthquake here last night after we got the word about our pending closing.

How great - You'll have a wonderful time celebrating, and by the sounds of it, having all the kids there!

I read about that and wondered if anyone was affected. That is such a weird feeling. We had one here a week ago just a little stronger than yours. It is a rare thing here in Ohio.

Sounds like a wonderful evening to me. DH and I are hoping to slip off to Palo's on our cruise for an evening. Yumm!

Hi all!
We've put in our offer on a sale of 50 points at SSR. It has a Dec UY with 50 points from Dec 07 available. We're purchasing for $86.50 pp and paying closing costs. The deal has been sent to Disney for ROFR so fingers crossed it will happen quickly.
Question for you all...The 50 points for Dec 07 are not banked. Should I request the seller bank them - do you know if this is something that should be done sometime soon? Or do you think that I can bank them when/if the deal is approved?

 

[Laxmom]

Welcome aboard and good luck!! Your contract, sounds like ours just different resort.

I would think about banking them but then I am just cautious. They wouldn't be available for use until Dec 1 though. At least that is what I was told; ours were already banked. Your banking deadline would be Aug 31st, correct? If you plan to use them by then, leave them. If not, bank them. I would do it soon. Once you pass ROFR and it goes to estopple, the seller won't be able to bank them and neither will you until you close. Our process will have taken *6 weeks; that would put you closing the middle of July and then 10 days to get into the system. And that is if the sellers are quick with their paperwork. So Aug 1. I don't know. That's cutting it close for me. What do you guys think?


*Results not typical. Actual time may vary.

Welcome aboard!! I will add you to the dreaded waiting for FOFR list in a minute. The banking deadline for a Dec. UY is July 31st. I have an Oct. UY and if I had it to do over again I would have had them bank my 2007 points before my contract went off for ROFR because it would have been one less thing to worry about. As it is I was able to bank them right away once I was in the system. But you will have enough to worry about without having to worry about banking deadlines. JMHO

 

[icouldlivethere]

Good luck mickeywho?!! I have now officially added you to the dreaded waiting for ROFR list. May your stay be sort and may you quickly move on to the equally dreaded waiting for estoppel list on your way to closing and getting into the system with your points awaiting your first reservation and may everything go smoothly and quickly along the way!! There I don't think that's asking for to much do you?

ROFR is a four letter word.

DVC has been very accomodating about the banking of points when you first enter the system. Didn't someone on this thread have to bank their's right after closing and it was past their deadline?

 

[Grandbuddy]

Points would have to be banked by the end of July - I'd go ahead and ask the sellers to bank them now, and make that a condition of the purchase.

Don't know if they are that accommodating on resales. Maybe?

 

[Laxmom]

These were resales...I thought.

Hey, Aunt Edna is getting into it with someone else today!

Susan - where are you lurking? I want to make sure I don't visit that site, Aunt Edna needs to practice some kindness. Pam

 

[Laxmom]

The person that I think is Aunt Edna has been busy on the operations thread today.

Thanks I'll stay away from there. I see you've been busy this afternoon. I am trying to catch up on all my subscriptions.

Mickeywho? Welcome I was told I have until the end of May to bank my points with an Oct. YU. For December you should have until the end of August. You should be able to bank. I was also told if I had the points banked by the seller once we went through ROFR it could delay getting the contract back from estopple . Once I heard that from the agent I decided I would take my chance. Also there have been several post where people said that Disney let them bank their resale points. Hope this helps a little

 

[mickeywho?]

Thanks all! I was so excited about getting the small contract I wanted that I didn't stop to think about banking deadlines...
Oh well, fingers crossed that all goes smoothly and quickly and we can get these banked before they expire. I may even call my guide once these pass ROFR (and they will pass right?) and check with him while we wait for them to get into the system.

 

[colonialtinker]

Does anyone know how we find out who our guide will be? I may want to add to my small contracts. Shhhh we don't want DH to find out
