What do you do while waiting for ROFR to pass?

What do you do while waiting for ROFR to pass? How do you feel if it doesn't go through?

I'm just trying to prepare.

Waffle between trip planning and keeping an eye on your next resale offer!

Prepare for the worst, and then you won't be dissapointed, only magically surprised when your DVC dream comes true.

To kill time while waiting for ROFR (not in any special order):
. . . twiddle thumbs
. . . watch grass grow
. . . ponder paint as it dries
. . . stare at laundry as it spins in the little window
. . . wonder if there is "Zen in WDW Touring"
. . . clip my toe nails
. . . count calories
. . . wiggle my ears (yes I can)
. . . think of girls I should have dated in my youth
. . . question what happened to Farrah Fawcett's hair
. . . imagine Mick Jagger prancing on stage at 85 years old

You know about ROFR before you get through the list twice.

PRAY and try to have positive thoughts.

Convince myself it's not going through, so I won't be too disappointed when it doesn't.

PRAY some more.

Read boards for a glimmer of hope.

PRAY some more.

Figure out how to pay for next summers cruise.

PRAY some more.

Talk myself out of contacting Jaki at A Timeshare Broker.

PRAY some more.

Do you get the picture?

LOL RustyScupper!! Too funny!


We had a three week wait for the ROFR to clear. We used that time to look for other contracts that we might want to purchase if the ROFR was exercised by Disney. Also, I thought up negotiating strategies and how much I would be willing to pay for any given contract, given the points availability, etc.

How do you feel if it doesn't go through? I suppose disappointment is the right word. But it is nice to know that there are lots of contracts out there for sale. Like anything else, be flexible and don't fall in love with a contract...there'll always be another one!

I am waiting on a resale as well. What are the specifics of yours? Mine are 200 BWV, Aug UY, all 200 banked from 2002, all avail 2003. Paid $73/pt and all fees.

I never gave it a second thought. No matter what, the seller had a sale and I had plenty of other contracts to consider if Disney picked that one up.

Good luck on your resale!!! I posted earlier today and ours passed through ROFR (second attempt - 1st contract was purchased back)!!!! Iit seemed like it took forever - I called The Timeshare Store a few times to check, looked at other resales in case, watched the DVC Video, and waited. You can read my post for specifics - again good luck!

You can always go for another resale if this one doesn't go through That's what we did!
