Congratulations fourkidsphoto!! Sounds like things went really quickly for you. Lucky you!!! May I ask which company you used to purchase from? I hope you get in the system as quickly as they say you will!

Congrats!! Whhoooo Hoooo! I am also anxious to see how long it takes for you to get in the system. I hope their estimate is right on!!

I think that if we hadn't bought at HHI, we would have bought at VWL. We love it there. But, it is the only resort we have ever stayed at; we stayed 2 nights in a hotel room there. When we were there, it didn't feel like we were in Florida!!

Hey Everyone!

Wow, what an incredibly long day.. Finally, my work-a-palooza is over. I'm not set to work again until Saturday!

Ed and Naomi, can't wait to see trip reports...and Ed, what's in the basket??

I don't know what Disney will do to control resales, but I can see the day that they don't make it easy to be a "small" owner. I think the administrative fees of those of us who buy in with small contracts doesn't make corporate Disney happy. I think someone with a calculator has decided that 160 points is just right to hit the profit line. When we buy in with 50 points, we're still getting the same benefits, without paying the same initial cost or MFs.

fourkids photo, Congrats! Hope you get to use up those points.

Bob, your summer trip sounds awesome! I'll be at SS in June and can't wait to see the resort. I've not been there before.

When I checked my email tonight I had and email from Carrie at A Time Share Broker. I figured it was just a note that we were 1 week into the title/ESTOPPLE process.

Well I just about fell of my chair.

The email read in part:

“Great news! Closing statements will be going out today from Attorney Sweet.” (Their closing/escrow agent)

I guess I will have to pull from my LOC since I did not get extra $ moved from my brokerage account yet and the “economic stimulus check” is not hear yet. Mind you I am not complaining, just shocked.

Timeline so far

Offer submitted 4/10
Offer accepted and paper work returned 4/10
To DVC for ROFR 4/11
Passed ROFR 4/21
Closing statements mailed out 4/28

Maybe it was the nice thank you note I wrote on the “thank you” thread.

This had to be close to a record.

Congrats!!!

We passed ROFR on 4/16, still no news about closing for us.......

 

[Laxmom]

Bookwormde, what is your closing date? I'll be anxious to see how long everyone else waits to get into the system - hoping the recent issues are a thing of the past.

Tammy, did you see the report on the new fuel surcharges that DCL is adding to cruises booked after 5/28? Ouch. That could make it impossible for us to try a longer sailing. DCL may be pricing themselves out of our range - or else Laxlad will just have to stay home!! Yea, right! Do you know how long I would have to listen to that one!

Received closing docs in e-mail from Jason/the timeshare store and Brends/timeshare closing services - guess we gotta get up off our $$ now! Original contract said we would close May 15 or 30 days after something - so this is moving right along! No prob, though - we just have to pick up the new car tomorrow nite and write the check for that and then DH can go to the bank to get the certified check for this! Guess I can't share this with too many people - someone might think we are rich and ask for a loan!

Here's our timeline:
3/25 - docs sent to disney
4/4 - disney waives rofr
4/28 - receive closing docs

I guess we could close by May 15 after all! It will be nice to have this behind us - 'tho the process has been smooth and painless without much to fret about. I think I'll go start planning the Nov trip to HHI - will be at my 7th month mark soon!

Here's wishing everyone waiting some smooth sailing!

 

[Laxmom]

Congrats, PB4UGO!!! You guys are all just moving right along!! I'm still stuck in estoppleville. If only it was something like margaritaville! Then I wouldn't mind the wait!!

Good nite, all. I am whooped! TTFN

 

[mickeyfan0805]

Wow, all you fast turnarounders are getting my hopes up! We submitted our offer and had it accepted last Monday, papers were submitted for ROFR last Tuesday, now we're just waiting. We have been figuring on a June close, but we're anxious. we have a previously planned trip for this fall, and the sooner we close, the more likely we'll be able to get accomodations through our DVC. Here's to waiting!
