Need help from the budget experts.. timeshare exchange or use promo code?

[Keishag]

I have my Interval International week to trade right now and was considering Sheraton Vistana or Marriot Grand Vista. I'm wondering though does that make financial sense? I can't get past the fact that last year we paid the same amount for a room to stay ON-site. Now that II has dropped Disney though our options are only offsite. So we'd have to rent a car, couldn't have DDP, couldn't use ME or EMH.

Does it still make financial sense to trade for Disney or save it for something that would get our moneys worth out of it and just use one of the 40% off promo codes right now and stay onsite?

Help! I can't decide!

How about combining both options? Many years ago (when SoG was under rennovation), we stayed 4 nights at the Cont at the SoG rate, then 7 nights offsite at a timeshare. We went crazy commando for those first 4 nights (esp to the MK), then really slowed down at the timeshare. Of course, we come from CA, so 11 nights feel just about right after that long plane ride! Best of luck in your decision -- Suzanne

Look at it from both ways.
First, how important to you are DDP, ME and EMH?
Are you are looking to save the most amount of money? it's almost always less expensive to stay offsite so if you are trying to do a super cheap trip that's your option.
40% off is a good deal especially if you generally do deluxes.
