Is Skyauction.com legit?

He Everyone,
We are thinking of planning a Disney trip this year - haven't been in 4 years. Although we love to stay on site, I just can't see spending all of that money just for the hotel room. I saw something about Skyauction.com and wondered if anyone has used it and what they thought. I've been looking into the Sheraton Vistana Villages and it looks really nice (especially if I can get a newer unit). Any advice or input is appreciated!
Oh, and while I'm at it, does anyone know what the YES program is? I looked it up but still am not sure...
Thanks!
Jen

I use skyauction all the time for my disney trips. Right now I have a 3 bedroom timeshare for 2 weeks in November. My entire cost was $591. Can't beat that.
Be sure to read all the fine print so you'll know exactly what you are paying.

Thank you BonnieA! I found a great deal on Vistana Villas but was nervous about booking it on a website I didn't know about. I appreciate your help!

If you are looking for the Sheraton Vistana, make sure you check out the SkyAuction SkySelect site also (skyselect.skyauction.com) as they have Vistana weeks you can purchased (instead of having to bid on them) and I think there is a $25 off coupon deal that is good through Monday night.

I can give some info on the YES program. We just participated in individual enrollment in January. Ind. Enrollment is available for specific dates. You only need one student to participate in a class and your entire group gets tickets at the discounted rate. On the website, they list prices for up to 7 days. You can request 8 or 10 days in the comments section on the last page of the signup process. All orders are reviewed by a real person before they are processed, and they will contact you if they have any question about your order. If they have those extended day tickets available they will give them to you. We paid $194 for 10 day hopper tickets. Each student under the age of 12 or 13 must be accompanied by an adult during the class. If the class you signed up for does not get at least 10 students signed up for it, they will contact you about a week before the class and try to accomodate you in a different class. If that is not possible, your group can still use teh discounted tickets. During the signup process they ask you for your groups arrival and departure dates. Your tickets are good for 7 days prior to your arrival date until 7 days after your departure date. The tickets are non-refundable, but they do indicate that changes can be made up to 24 hours prior to your arrival, if you choose to pick them up at will call. You pay for the tickets when you sign up.

If you are want to attend the program on a date the does not offer ind. enrollment, you have to have a group of 10 students. Each student, plus one adult per student, gets the discounted rate. Any add'l adults pay the regular price, but I think you might get a free adult ticket for the group's coordinator.

Hope that helps!

I just got an email for $199 a week through skyauction/skyselect for certain properties for certain dates. Are these legit or do I need to attend a timeshare presentation or something?
