The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

Thanks Ed....lets start a new group "nice fans"
By the way after going to that game...sorry I went for the Giants in the SB.
It looks like you guys got some good players in the draft. We had a weaker draft year, but I think we still have a strong team for the coming season. I love football!!! I can't tell you had bad I want to go to London for the Saints and Chargers game in Oct. Football and a little shopping at Libertys and Harrods...what more could you ask for????


I went and looked back on an email from Gmac and they said it was more like 4 weeks for the Estoppel stuff...ok I will patiently wait 6 more days (4 hours and 22 seconds).

Isn't it funny how you think your all set after ROFR and then you run into that estoppel brick wall.

We don't like to talk a lot about that Superbowl game. I'm still in shock.

Ed, I'm willing to bet I'd have a hard time understanding your accent..

I just rented "Gone, Baby, Gone" and had to watch it twice because I couldn't understand the heavy Boston. It was like watching the "Full Monty".

Yes, my Bernard is the same as your office neighbors. I've already left him a message this morning and he's already called back.

Did anyone see AI last night? What is up with Paula? Is she drunk, or has she had a stroke or something?

Did you happen to see The Departed, Mystic River, Perfect Storm or Good Will Hunting? Pretty good Boston accents there.

Paula's a flake. I have fond memories of her in the 80's however. So I give her a pass. Plus when a girl's a flake it's cute. I think my girl Brook is all done on AI tonight. I don't have a clue how that kid with dreads is staying on the show. I'll be flipping channels between AI and the Celtics tonight. I need to pick up some beer!

O.K. since we are talking about accents there is really only one that I swear is a different language, Creole. I just have to nod my head and hope for the best when talking to anyone from that part of Louisiana. Screws my head up.

I probably have more friends in Chicago than I do in Pittsburgh...when we were younger that was always the topic of conversation. "How do you say, xxxxx!" We'd be up for hours just raggin' each other for how we talked.

Now...give me a beautiful English lass (think Julie Andrews) with that accent and I'm toast...

 

[HolidayRoad]

Here in Ohia, many change that last letter from an o to an a. I'm the weird one; it is Ohioooooo to me. They do it with the "i" at the end of Cincinnati also. It then becomes, Cincinnata.

Working on my final....ugh! I'd rather be Disney dreamin'! (Notice how I dropped the g, Ed. Just for you! )

See, now thats jus wicked weiid. Add 'n "a" wheeaa a "o" oua a "i" shud be. It's all in the "r", add it wheeaa it don't go and take it away where it does go. Then you'll sound good like the rest of us here in Bawstin!

You think that's bad even our little towns are screwed up. I live in a city called Peabody however nobody calls it Peabody. It's pronounced "Peebidy". If you know anyone from this area ask them, whenever I'm on the phone having to give my address I have to make a conscious effort to mispronounce it so they will understand what I'm trying to say.

Really? see now women with English accents make me nervous, British nanny phobia. For me, it's the southern accent that does it for me. My wifes gonna slap me again when I get home, thanks Bob.

We have closed on your 100 Boardwalk purchase. Here are the instructions to get your membership number.

OK, got back late last night, looks like I have alot of reading to do to get caught up, but we closed! The emails said to wait 10-14 days to get into the system. DW said she made the kids laugh 'cause she told them she was sure I would call on the moring of the 10th day. She laughed when I said they would be lucky if I waited until the end of the week!!! So, I am officially waitng to get into the system.

Lastly, it is amazing how this DVC thing changes your views. Was in Vegas, and lost a little money (big surprise), but instead of thinking of it in terms of $$$, I thought if it in terms of lost funding for additional points down the road.

Hope all is well with everyone.

I've seen the departed and hated it. First of all, I couldn't understand a word...also, it took me at least a good 30 minutes to figure out that Leo Decaprio and Matt Daemon were't the same people.. I loved Mystic River and don't remember having a problem with that one, Perfect Storm...You mean George Clooney talked in that.. I think we should do a twofer and send home both Brook and Jason tonite. Can't take them much longer.

Congratulations!! "Welcome Home" I've been waiting so long to say that someone but felt I couldn't until I was an official member, now that I am, I am giving you my first official "Welcome Home" for whatever that's worth!

This is killin me, I keep checking my email and nothing (granted it's only been since last friday) I know I need to not even think of looking for word on the ROFR for at least another week. Anyway, now I am reading posts where people mention estopple, what is it? And does it mean MORE waiting?

Wow, I don't remember buying my house being this stressful (although that was 8 yrs ago), I hope I'll look back on this and think it wasn't as bad as it feels right now.

Thanks!!!!

 

[tammymacb]

For many of us estoppel took much longer than waiting for ROFR.

Then you get to wait to get added to Disney's 'system'.

Then you get to wait for your points to get put it.

It just keeps getting better...

Welcome.

Yes, estoppel is more waiting and unfortunately more worrying . If I'm not mistaken I believe that is where monami7 got tripped up and lost her contract. The estoppel phase, I am pretty sure is where Disney makes sure that all the points are there that are supposed to be there and the fees are paid etc, etc. So if a seller is pulling a fast one and has a vacation planned for next week and is borrowing points from next year, basically stripping the contract, this is where Disney will find this out. So yes your DVC buying fun has just begun!!!

Brain burp. There were alot of those going around last night.

I know exactly what you are saying. I watch "This Old House" and "New Yankee Workshop". I love it when Norm says a measured drawring is available. Gloucester is pronounce in 1 syllable in Maine too. I think it is a whole New Englander thing.

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

Just great my email website is down so I can't check my emails to see if we have estoppeled yet!!!!

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

Back on NOPE!

 

[Laxmom]

Just checking in. On a study break. I finished my final paper. Now the waiting for the grade starts. Kind of like estoppifiying.....tick.....tick.....

I got my crocs today. The clogs are really comfortable sitting her at my computer. The canvas flip flops are cute but way to cold to wear them today, even inside. Not sure if I would like these without socks or not but I am not going to find out today. I haven't decided if they are as comfy as my birks or even if they have the possibility of being so. I'll wear them around the house for a couple of days.

Well, I need to eat something and hit the books for the new class. I'll check in later. TTFN

See I told you it's not just about taking away the R's it's also about randomly placing them into words.

Gloucester is actually in Massachusetts about 15 minutes from me and it's pronounced Glosta. Out west we have Worcester pronounced woosta. Up north there is Haverhill prononuced Havrill and Bedford pronounced bedfid. Anothe good one is Medford pronounced Medfa. OMG we do talk weird! How does anyone understand us?

 

[mickeyfan0805]

Is there any understand the decisions by Disney? We're in day 9 of ROFR, and we are as anxious as everyone else. As I wait and read, however, I am mystified by the decisions Disney seems to make. From the passed/failed thread, it appears they'll pass on one contract at $78/pt with a full year's points banked and excercise ROFR on another at $83 with no points banked. It seems there's no rhyme or reason. Any of the DisVets figured this out?

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I don't want to go back and search...those of you who are already past this...how long did you wait for this?? It seems like it has been a little long!

We passed ROFR on 4/1 and heard that we were ready to close on 4/25. That changed our initial closing date from 5/4 to 5/12. Bad Mouse - slow on the job!

Amy - Hope that your place is ok after the quake. All this shaking is just too much! I have one dog that is growling at all the tremblors now. Poor guy. In fact we just had another small one a few minute ago.

I shouldn't get into the football, but DH is from south of Boston so guess who I hear about all the time. I grew up in MN. Actually, football is ok - different leagues, and the Twins have won more World Series recently than Boston but basketball and Garnet to the Celtics - that's my sore spot. DH never watched a basketball game before in his life but now it's all about the Celtics. Gotta say though - you Boston people are FANS! Or is it fanatics?!!??!

Our check and closing papers arrived at the title company today according to UPS. We're getting closer!!
