Disney Acronyms-please Help

[Toni300z]

I am new to the DIS BOARD and kind of new to Disney world, even though I have been twice in the last 6 months! Now I am an addict.

BUT, I have been reading through tons of threads and see a lot of Acronym use. I am lost cause I am not familiar with it!

Is there a thread that has this info, or can you guys place a ACRONYM DICTIONARY in here for us newbies.

DD, DW, AP and on and on........

Thanks so much!

Great question. I have been wondering about some of those as I am relatively new to all this as well.

What does ROFL mean? I know it refers to purchasing add-on points at DVC, but I can't separate it from ROTFL in my head.

Do you mean ROFR?

When purchasing a DVC contract through a resale company, Disney reserves the Right Of First Refusal, which simply put means they have the opportunity to buy the contract back instead of allowing the sale to go through.

This is usually done when the price is too low and it is to thier advantage to buy back the points and sell them themselves as add ons.

Thanks, yes. (Darned acronyms!) Right of first refusal: no wonder there is so much anxiety in all those add-on posts. They can get a deal, but not too good a deal or Disney will snatch it away. It all becomes clear.
