hELP WITH OWNING TIMESHARES THAT IS dISNEY??

In the Myrtle Beach area, stationed outside nearly every restaurant is a kiosk with a timeshare rep (usually Bluegreen). They try to sign you up for a tour promising the usual freebies. This year the "sharks" were swarming more than usual...can you say oversaturation?

Typically, we try to ignore them or offer a simple no thank you - hey, everybody's got to earn a living. But this year, with our new DVC membership cards burning a hole in our wallets, we couldn't resist puffing out our chests and stating, loudly, we didn't need a timeshare, we belonged to the Disney Vacation Club! The salesman looked at us blankly and asked if it was located near Universal Studios.

Perhaps their reps need more training?

Too funny! But too sad too!

But, I do recall him "promising" that one week at his place would trade for two weeks at DisneyWorld.

That is a true statement, just not at DVC.
