Disney exercised their right! Not that I really didn't expect it, but still disappointed the same

GrumpyBa*D----------- 250 VWL (Aug) $72, 72 '08 pts, all '09 pts, buyer and seller split '08 mf (sub 4/21)

Sorry about the ROFR. That would have been an incredible contract price if they let it go through!!!! Nothing lost in trying anyway.

Ohhhh, a 50 point BCV just showed up at TTS.

Guess who's not buying it...

Very admirable!!! What a trooper!

Can anyone help me understand what estoppel is and how long it usually takes? We knew ROFR could take up to 30 days, but I'm seeing some notes on here about estoppel. What is this, and how long does it typically take?

Estopple is the process after ROFR! No, seriously, it is where, from what I understand, the details of the contract are verified that it is as stated in the sales docs and the account frozen so that the points cannot be used by the seller. It is the point of no return.

Nice pics, Andy!! I love the monkeys in The Lion King. Oh, and the Tree of Life! Comon' July!!!

 

[Laxmom]

Hey GrumpyBa*d!!! I guess you saw that contract too!!!

 

[Laxmom]

Me again!! Just got off the phone with Laxlad. He had a game tonite but I couldn't get away from work. He scored again!! Whoo Hoo! They ended the game in a tie because there were no lights at the field and they wanted the varsity team to play too. Not that the varsity needed to play but that in this day and age, the stadium has no lights. For an affluent suburban school, that is a surprise.

Andy?

Ed, Great pictures!!! I cannot wait to go.

What did you think of the Swan? I've not stayed but they give discounts to nurses, but I've heard conflicting reviews.

Naomi, love the pictures! Your girls are so pretty!

The Swan? Well, here is my honest opinion. It's a very nice hotel VERY comfortable beds. It loses a little "Disney" with the lack of theming but since they aren't owned by Disney I guess that's to be expected. Location is great, just reinforced our decision to buy at BWV. I also get a government discount so that helped with the decision to go there. I would definitely stay there again but would prefer other deluxe resorts over the Swan but I think that it's just I'm looking to be surrounded by Disney at all times while there. The pools were nice good amenities. I didn't like the additional parking fee's I would rather have them just add it on in the beginning instead of trying to straighten it out on the last day.
Oh, it was the worst check-in experience of all my Disney trips it took over an hour and three different people to straighten it out. They couldn't figure out that I was paying for three rooms and two of the other parties were already there, then they screwed up the credit cards to the point where we just let it go and figured we would fix it later. They had the wrong price for the room which would have cost me an additional $540 for the week. We finally got it straightened out. We asked for a handicapped room for my mother when we first booked, when we called to confirm they had us for three handicapped rooms and we told them we only needed one handicap room, so when they fixed their mistake they didn't put in the Government rate on the other two rooms, a bit of a nightmare, especially after a 1450 mile drive. After check in though it went really well and we liked the hotel.

Andy?

Brain burp!!! Guess you were gone so long, I forgot your name! You aren't Vman!! Just kidding!
That is what I get for trying to watch AI and catch up on todays discussion.

 

[flemdog]

What's an ROFR?

 

[Laxmom]

It stands for Right of First Refusal. A lot of timeshares have this in their contracts. If you put in an offer on a resale, they have the option to buy it first at the price you have negotiated or pass on it. DVC has this option. All DVC's sold resale must go through it in order to close.

 

[HolidayRoad]

There are a lot of you that I trust on here so I was hoping I can ask you a question. My wife and I are trying to decide on a little vacation with the kids this summer and we are trying to decide between Kings Dominion and Bush Gardens. Could I ask your opinions on these parks? Any inside info would be great. Thanks.

Ever since that little spelling mishap I had, I can't help myself. And yes, I am no Verandah Man, who is, we can only strive to be like him but can never be him!

Fred, I can't help you with that one but .......if you get a chance to go to Water Country USA, you should!! We had a blast. We always head for the lazy river. The kids weren't enthused. Ended up, we couldn't get them out of it!! It had a killer current and you flew around this thing. We ended up floating for 1 1/2 hours!! They did not want to go. The other slides were great also.

Now, Bill, keep in mind we have 2 outdoor waterparks and a Great Wolf Lodge with in 5 miles of our house. Now, that says something when this was better than those!

Thank you Cindy, I actually took a trip to Ohio once, Canton. My wife still talks about it. Whenever somebody talks about going somewhere really nice or romantic she brings up the trip I took her on to beautiful Canton Ohio! If I go to Ohio again I would love to see Ohio State maybe pay my respects to Woody Hayes. You know, romantic stuff that my wife would love to do. I would also love to get one of those Buckeye necklaces. I love, love, love the rivalry with Michigan!!! So cool. Boston is a pro sports town, it's nice but nothing beats college football.

Now you know why my wife wont let me take her to a water park in Ohio, guess where I would end up, those parks aren't near Ohio Stadium are they?

 

[Laxmom]

No, Ralph, they're not! Are you in Boston? But you don't type with an accent! We went to Boston a couple times when we lived upstate. My kids won't let me forget it. They were chasing some pigeons and I told them to stop bothering the chickens. I don't have a clue what I was thinking.

Love the history! We had to stop in Stockbridge too. And of course Freeport at the LL Bean outlet. I still can't believe that they don't have locks on those doors!!!

Yea, I love the rivalry too. It is fun but some take it too far. Mostly the Michigan fans!

HEY TOM!! I have been dying to know if you got a "Welcome Home" when you got to your resort!! You did stay on property didn't you or did I have another brain burp?

 

[icouldlivethere]

I love, love, love the rivalry with Michigan!!!

To which I say Go Blue!!

 

[Laxmom]

See what I mean!!! Just too far!!!

 

[icouldlivethere]

You know, your doing such a great job!! If you want to keep the list it's fine with me if you want to give to me back, well, that's fine too. Just let me know.

While I had a great time filling in for you while you were away I think I will give it back to you now since you did it so well!!
