Time-share presentation

[MiniMissMinnie]

Hi !!

Anyone knows some good hotel deals ????

I've heard Marriott have some, where you can stay 4 nights for $350, but I can't find the offer anywhere.

Any info on offers appreciated!!

Best regards

Marie

I just booked the Ron Jon resort for next July for 299 for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom. The resort looks great and I think the kids will love it. This is for our pre disney check in. Can't wait. I spoke to Shari at the timeshare

Go to www.hotelkingdom.com & go to the Orlando area, they offered some really good deals a couple of months ago & I bet they still do. Also, without the timeshare tour, you could try to bid through www.skyauction.com, you could watch the following sites for further discounted condo's: http://www.bid4vacations.com/tripad.html, www.11thhourvacations.com

Good luck!

If you are a member of the Hilton Honors you may want to call them to see if they are still offering 3 night at their Orlando properties for $99 if you go to their timeshare presentation.

Check the Timeshare User's Group owner referrals page:

You can call Marriot directly. They had called us to offer the Grand Vista for 4 nites for $199.00 and I declined. However, friends were interested, so they called and inquired and were able to get the deal. I Think they had 2 differant specials going on so just call and tell them you are interested. I'm sure they will accomodate you.

Avoid Westgate as it is much too hard of a sell. Marriotts are much more reasonable.

Why not just join Disney Vacation Club? It's "time share" Disney style!! Meaning, everything is considered with the Guest in mind first.

I suspect DVC is not very budget friendly. MiniMissMinnie's objective is to get nice accomodations for a small amount of cash. DVC doesn't fit that description.

You are wrong. DVC's whole point is to save money. It's around 10 grand plus annual dues, and thats for 40 years. Imagine what hotels will cost in 40 years.........

If one is comparing DVC ownership with staying annually at a Disney deluxe or moderate hotel, then, yes, DVC can be economical, depending on when you usually vacation and the size DVC unit you use.

But if one is comparing a stay in an offsite hotel (a good hotel deal, as mentioned in the original post) to DVC membership, I'm sorry, DVC is just not economical. We've owned DVC timeshare membership and we've owned other deeded timeshares (and still do). DVC is decidedly more expensive, just as Disney hotels are more expensive than their offsite counterparts. This is not to say that DVC does not offer terrific places to vacation. They are just not the likely answer to "a good hotel deal" IMHO.

MiniMissMinnie, if you know when you plan to vacation, feel free to email me and I could suggest a referral for Marriott or perhaps, some other timeshare villa resort in the area. Don't overlook the possible rental of DVC points from some DVC owner on the Rent/Trade forum here - IF your planned vacation is in Sept, Jan, or May and/or is during weeknights, rather than Fri/Sat nights. Wish you well in finding that perfect situation.

I found at orlandovacations4less the Ron Jon resort for 7 nights for $294. I called but they said they have no availability until after July and they are already taking reservations for 2003. I believe they have other resorts on this website also. There is another website orlando4free.com that offers the Ron Jon for 7 nights with $100 or 2 free tickets for $409. This website also offers other resorts. Hope this helps you.
