Timeshares for disney tickets?

To get them to finally leave us alone I told them I thought the condos were a bit dated and ugly.

This is really the best strategy. They can argue all day with you about price and convince you that you CAN somehow afford it. They cannot argue with someone who does not like the resort. What could they say..."Yes, you do like it!!" I usually tell them it looks too much like a typical college apartment building (which is true) and not like a Disney resort.

We've done a few in our lifetime--they are annoying and take forever but you go usually get a cheap stay or free ticket. Good luck!

"But you can trade your week for a resort in Hawaii!" They always have a response.

In sales, these guys are trained to count the number of times you say "no" and only stop at a predetermined limit. I usually sit down, say "no" 10 times and ask if I hit the limit. If you know the game, they know they can't play it with you.

My husband and I are taking our kids (15, 10, and 4) to disney in march or april. It really was a spur of the moment decision that we made just yesterday! I just applied for the southwest card to help with flight costs (will only have to pay less then $100 out of pocket for 5 round trip tickets with that deal!).
We've been to disney a couple times. We've never brought the 4 year old yet, this will be her first time.
We've never done a timeshare presentation. We've previously considered it, but just have yet to do one.
SO, where is the best place to do a time share presentation where we'll get the most for our time.
I would prefer one that includes just strictly disney world tickets, but would consider ones with the hotel stay included.
We are hoping to go to disney 2-3 days while there.
Any recommendations?

Where are you flying from? Doesn't seem like 50k points would get a family of 5 round trip tickets

I'd double check on your timing with the Southwest card too. We've been using points to purchase tickets for years, and find that it's a great deal, but their sales change a lot and the points listed today might be completely different then the points needed by the time you are actually able to get the tickets. If you just ordered the card, you have to get it and then spend something and then wait for the points to be transferred to your account - this seems like a short time frame to get all of that done and tickets purchased for a March trip.

Go to timeshare preso.
Ask about financing.
Ask if they think it will be a problem that you are currently in a ch 13 bk.
Watch them run to someone else.

They will give up if they know you are absolutely not going to buy that day. I know people who have gotten tickets that way for US and SW, and we've done the "breakfast" at our timeshare for dinner show tickets (and will sit through the long speech about how we should buy into their points system but won't do it, again, in about 3 weeks to go to Arabian Nights) but I wouldn't do it for my main tickets for the vacay ie WDW tickets. It leaves too much left unplanned. Plus not all timeshares offer the same tickets, and the same ones aren't available every day or in sufficient quantities for every customer.

I almost choked on my tea. Now THIS is funny!
