The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Grandbuddy]

Come back, and the numbers are all different. OK, I'm going to have to think about something else, because if my life has reached the point where those little numbers are important to me...well, that's just too terrifying to think about. IGNORE THE NUMBERS!!!

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

Party pooper!!!

I have never been compared to June Cleaver! Ask my kids!! I have way too big of a mouth - big heart- but big mouth!!! I need to look for a decent pic and post it. I will do that tomorrow.

Thanks

Oh, now you show up Bob! There is a power with the Ed's from Mass so tread careful.
I'm probably weirding these people out and they will never post on here again.

I think I'm definitely contributing. May be an explanation why some new folks posted, then fled.

 

[Laxmom]

Ok, I missed that. It happened and I didn't even notice. Weird stuff tonite.

Laxlad just got home and wants spahgetti. The leftovers are in the microwave. If I ate that, I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Well, I keep thinking that I should hear something any day if we are going to "tentatively" close on the 15th, but nothing yet. If I don't hear in the next couple of days, I don't think that will be our date afterall. I figured that if you got an attorney involved,......well......it certainly wouldn't speed up the process.

Amy, I said I would search for a decent pic...that may take a while!!! I usually take the pictures.

OK...you all are scaring me. I haven't had a drink yet but I'm getting ready!

First there was 88858 who posted and said his name was Ed.
Second...horselover posted and HR Ed asked if by chance horselover's name was Ed.
Get it...horselover...Mr Ed...Wilburrrrrrrrr!

Now the whole posting thing...it does not show which post is the number of the actual post...it always shows your total number of posts. On whatever thread you post to, your posts will all show the same number.

Have you all been staying up too late????

Officially tendered an offer on another contract at SSR. Details to follow, if the offer is accepted. ROFR (waiver, one would hope) and estopple also to follow...ugh!

Good luck Grandbuddy!!!

Hey Everyone!

It's Tammy posting under Kristen's name, as I'm currently visiting her in her AKL room.

This place is GORGEOUS! It makes me realllly want to add points here. We're having a great time.

Yesterday when Angus and I arrived, we spent the afternoon at the quiet BWV pool. We brought our own beer and had a few relaxing drinks. Last evening we went to Epcot and it was great! We went on Soarin and wandered around. At 8 o'clock we stopped by the Rose and Crown not expecting to get a ressie, and not only did we, we got an outside seat right next to the lake. We had our own private firework show!

Today we got up early and went to AK, went to Bahama Breezes for lunch and went to TTS to get our gift baskets. They are AWESOME!!

Now, I'm at AKL, going to use their pool while my DH naps at BWV. Not sure what the plans are for this evening as we're kind of playing everything by ear. But we're having a great time.

Talk to everyone soon!

Have a great time. AKL is such a cool place. The Boma restaurant is one of my favorite buffets!!

So now our wait begins! I'm hoping everything goes quickly! DVC is all I've been able to to think about for the last few weeks!

Good luck and welcome

Thought I'd share our timeline so far... and ask a question of those of you who have closed already...

We made an offer which was accepted on 4/2, passed ROFR on 4/14, and got our closing documents today 5/6. We expect to close by the end of the week.

Now, the question... If you closed in the past few weeks, how long after closing did it take to get your account and be able to make a reservation?

Thanks everyone for making this a GREAT source if DVC info!!

We had our points within 2 days of closing which is very fast. Our closing broker requested from Disney that they expedite the points. She said they are not always able to do this. We had points expiring May 31st and we closed last week. Good luck!!

Also, congrats to Bookworme, and horselover (I am too. We have a horse).

Welcome to Efinn and anyone else I missed!

I think you are right....when its all said and done its going to be just the 6 of us on this thread.....

 

[Grandbuddy]

Have you all been staying up too late????

A possibility, unless you're in Amy's time zone.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Wow - it's been a busy thread tonight! I had meant to catch the Epcot Illuminations on the BWV cam that was up and running....but remembered at 6:17 - just didn't think of it with it still being light out here on the west coast.

Welcome to all the new people! Sounds like it's been a busy couple of days for the resellers!

Ed - I've been reading lots of threads on booking and most seem to agree that for the busy times (either low point requirements in Adventure and Choice season, Christmas, Easter & Spring break and F&W) you really ought to book day by day at 11 months to ensure your reservation. But there have been lots of stories about not doing that and getting ressies at 5 months if you're willing to stay anywhere. I know I too was bummed to hear how this year seems a bit more difficult that others - maybe developers points? After all - we want to go to Disney World!!!! Overall it just sounds like there's a system to be learned and then you'll be ok. I also wonder if we're in kind of a crunch - SSR about to sell out and no new AKV units available until May. I think they've usually had unsold units that probably eased up ressies. Hope they get that KT up and running soon!

I missed saying hello to darlinboy. Hello, darlinboy. (Please note that that is your name...I am not using a term of endearment. Heck, I don't really even know you, yet!)

 

[Laxmom]

I definately think that the developer points are having an impact from what I have been reading. I wonder if Disney realized the ramifications when they made that call. I will be anxious to see if things lighten up for next year. If we go around Christmas, we will go on a cash ressie.

I missed darlinboy, too! Hi!!!

 

[minniekissedme]

spahgetti.

spell check please........

 

[Laxmom]

Oh yea, find one when I am heavily medicated!

 

[Grandbuddy]

It's not like we haven't all flipped a letter or two, once in awhile.

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

How often are you heavily medicated??? We could be a support group for you if you need to go cold turkey or something!

 

[minniekissedme]

it all goes back to having a little patients...or is it patience...or pashents.

It's not like some of the other medication

 

[Laxmom]

Yeah, what he said.

I love modern medicine except then I get medicine head. My ears feel like I am wearing ear muffs - everything is muffled. I kept walking around saying, "excuse me?" or "pardon me?" or just plain, "huh?"

You guys are baaaadddd!!!

For all you lurkers...in order to understand this you need to go back say 200+ pages
