Welcome to Disney. Did you know that the entirety of WDW sits on land that falls within a quasi-governmental entity called the "Reedy Creek Improvement District" whose only landholding voters happen to be Disney employees?
I'm more than happy dancing with the Mouse... (I'm a guy, so let's make it Minnie).Welcome to Disney.

If you want to dance with the Mouse, the Mouse calls the tune.
Actually a number of chains and timeshares have gone non smoking. ALL Westin's are and all Marriott's are as well except for a handful of straggling timeshares that are slowly converting over. But non prevent smoking, only smoking in the units and in many situations, on the balcony. HI has also gone all NS and TN the same though they're still trying to figure out how it relates to timeshares. The problem with smoking in a timeshare or hotel is that there will be others in the unit later that will be affected.
It appears to me that DVC took longer to change their policy as comparted to other timeshares.
I agree with Jim, and PLEASE, let's keep smoking out of this thread, because the previous information in it is important to new buyers, and making it a smoking thread will only get it closed.
I'd be careful talking about "reselling for profit". I know many OWK and BCV owners could sell today for more than they paid. But most folks who've bought in the past few years would see less (after commisison and expenses) than they paid. Stil probably a great deal given the vacations they took - but not really "reselling for profit". I'd stick to "maintain value".
How do some of the other timeshare companies do housekeeping? Is it similar to DVC? I am talking number of cleanings not necessarily the quality.
On average most don't have any cleaning at all. Some do have a midweek similar to DVC. There are VERY few that have daily service in the US, a few more in the Caribbean and even more in MX or similar places where labor is cheap. Even at those locations that offer daily service, many push most or all the cost over to the guest similar to the cruise lines.Mousekeeping tends to come up as a topic from time to time on this board.
Most I'm aware of offer a full cleaning between guests. Are you thinking of some that don't?
Very funny though there are some you'd wonder about.
It varies by property. Some give a midweek cleaning, some offer a pool towel exchange only, at least one doesn't even have pool towels (unless it's changed).
It's a tiny logo on cans and bottles that allows the homeless people of Southern California to make nearly six-figure incomes.
