Are any of you Detriot Lions fans??

Not that's not something you hear everyday!

Oh, NOW you show up. Well, grandbuddy bailed me out. One more for the road. I'm home of course and one more for the road is actually a bad idea if your driving, but you get the idea and I love Lido Shuffle!


Good night all!

 

[minniekissedme]

my virtual was offset by the actual that took place with pizza and a little vino atmy loyal neighbor's home! Sorry I let you down!

GMAC. They only required $100 down (and the rest at closing), which I paid for by cc, and they accepted cc for up to $4K of the total cost per contract.

You could actually pay the entire contract by cc if you wanted to, but only up to $4K is fee free. Beyone $4K, they pass their merchant fees on to the customer, as that eats from their profit. Aside from the fact that they had the contract I wanted, that's why I went through them 3 times!!!! Low downpayment requirement and extra spending money at Costco (similar to Sam's Club)!!!

Based on the above info, I've just e-mailed an offer on a 2nd contract, this time through GMAC. My offer is lower than asking, so I don't know if it will be accepted. We'll see. If it's accepted, I'll be joining the "waiting for ROFR" group again, pretty quickly.

Get him started on the "Harry Potter" books. They are hard to put down.

Now, where did Mini/Bob get off to, again - his little circle has gone all dark!

Wow, look at the time! Mine's about to go dark, too. 'Night all.

I am a “technical” reader. Anything with new facts and information so most people would not find my “library” interesting.

He also likes the Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket series.

My paperwork was sent to Disney yesterday, so we're just starting the ROFR. Hopefully it will be accepted!

Welcome to ROFRland!! Anxious to hear about your contract. We love living vicariously thru others so please share the details.

You guys have all been SO wonderful and SO supportive, I just had to post. I mailed part of my payment with my paperwork Wednesday, and I can see on-line where the remaining $4,000 has hit my AmEx,. So, it's just a matter of a few days before our VB contract closes!!!

We submitted contract mid-March, passed ROFR two weeks later on 3/27 and should close in a week or so.

Wishing everyone waiting to pass ROFR and to close lots of pixie dust!!!

Thanks Buckeye and congrats!!! I did not know we could pay with a CC with GMAC! I sure would love the reward points! Our entire contract wasn't $4000 so it should be fine. I will contract Carolyn this week and see if we can do this. Cool!

I'm starting to think our stuff got lost..............

Call them Monday! You know, just a checkin' in kinda call.

Are any of you Detriot Lions fans??

Not really a Lions fan but I really like John Kitna.

Wow! You just cleared the final hurdle and you are starting all over! Way to go!! Congrats. We have had no problems with GMAC whatsoever inspite of what some on the boards have said. Good luck and keep us posted. Oh, btw, I believe they work weekends so you might hear something yet this weekend.

Oh, I like that! MiniBob. It sure is shorter to type!


Good morning all. Yucky day here. I have a sinus headache - but could be stress. Cory's visitation is later today with a memorial service afterwards. I am dreading this so much. I want desperately to get it over so we can try to heal and this is the beginning of that process. But last night, the team practiced - not hard like normal- but they scrimmaged and had fun. There were smiles and laughter. It was terrific. Laxlad was more himself last night after practice than he was before. This is going to be a hard day for him.

Hi, lurker Kathy, Tammy's friend! Come and join us. We won't bite! I promise! No Aunt Edna's here!!

You are, like, the queen of multi-quote!

 

[Laxmom]

It's the only way I can remember who to respond to!

So, is it too early to spill the point and location details of your newly offered contract?

 

[monami7]

So due to the Annual passes and the new contract we have decided that for our Anniversary in Oct. we will be taking an adult only trip to WDW!!!!

I booked our restaurants last night!

Artist Point never been would love oppinions!
Kona
Tokyo Dining
Cali Grill (where we ate the first day we were married)
and Fultons our new favorite.

I also just booked massages and pedicures at SSR!
DH loves these too ever since we had them on out HM.

The best part we can ride things together and have QUIET meals with no screaming kids to feed!!!!

Trying not to think about it - e.g. trying not to make plans with points that haven't even hit the horizon, yet.

 

[Laxmom]

I'm still trying to decide if I want to add on; HHI or some other DVC. I wonder if we would like Vero since we love our beach vacations. It would be a long drive vs. HHI. Someone once suggested that they own small contracts at several resorts and bank/borrow to go every other year or every third year to stay at a different resort. I would get the same UY so they could all be used together at the 7month mark.

What do you all think?

 

[Laxmom]

Sounds like a great trip, Monami. We did a Disney cruise last year, just DH and I. We had a great time.

I am not looking for anything other than SSR, December UY to match the first contract. Since my contracts will service 3 families - DW and myself, and 2 DSs and their families, it will be much easier to have all the points in one place, and all the booking deadlines the same. As the contracts will be going to the boys in our estate(s) - once both of us are gone, in any case - I think it would be better if they both own the same property. One contract may end up being a bit larger than the other, but one boy's family is a bit larger.

We ate at Artist Point a couple of years ago and had a really great dinner! Here's a pic of my main dish. This caused a few comments over on the WL pic thread so I'll see if anybody here thinks there's something interesting about it? I didn't - mostly because I just remembered that it all tasted VERY good.

Of course Cali Grill is also a super favorite!!!!!

I can't identify some of that that over on the right. What is it?

 

[HolidayRoad]

Is dvcnewgirl gone yet? I think she left yesterday but I'm not sure. Tammy has to be close to heading out, too. Are you still here Tammy?

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

THAT is what was causing the comments.....mostly it was reactions of "what is that grey gooey stuff?!?!"

And of course.....I can't exactly remember. The veggie under the salmon was grilled fennel - had never had it before and it was good! DH and I both agree that the grey item was some special mushroom but we're not quite agreed on what type.
