Which timeshare Marriott, Westgate, Mystic Dunes?

[cwnhokie]

I just found airfare that is too good to pass up, so I called my Dad and asked if we could use one of his timeshare weeks. Which would you reccomend for me, DH, DS4 and DS6, we may or may not even go to the parks, depends on what our budget looks like. So we want a resort with lots of stuff for the kids to do. Some of the timeshares that are available are Westgate (bunches of them) Marriott (several of them) and Mystic Dunes. We stayed at the Liki Tiki a couple years ago and had a great time, it's not available this time though. I know if has received mixed reviews, so I guess we are not very picky. Any help would be great!

marriott!

don't stay at Westgate - their salespeople will drive you crazy!

I knew I could count on you for a speedy response, you are always so helpful. Which of the Marriotts would be best for activities, Royal Palms, Cypress Harbor, and Grand Vista are what's available.

Cypress Harbour - I have never seem one bad review about this place.

for Orlando not only is that strange - it makes it exceptional.

We did them for a while after many years on Disney Property, now we own in Orlando area, *a home, not a timeshare (never purchase)
Do timeshare tours.

We did Westgate Towers/Westgate Villas.
Both nice. Got 2 bedrooms/Full Kitchen under 400.00 for 7 days. Sometimes when you call you can even barter with them...some are 500-700.00 weekly and if you cannot afford the upfront costs all at once, they do "talk to their superivisor" and will reduce the rates, they call get a commissions........and the competition in Orlando is so tuff.........even though it's a tourism mecca they will reduce the price of the package, to get you to book, I have had it done a few times.........just thought I d pass that on as well......the 199-300.00 they won't reduce those........cheap enough for 7 days!
We always tell them no passes (we have AP passes for the FL parks) needed/no breakfast, we did the 730 am tours, after 90 minutes, you can leave.
Cheap great vacations.
Tell them upfront no, and repeat the mantra

We did Marriott as well, also Fairfield, you name it, we've done them.
But we got to stay in beautiful places at rock bottom prices! yea baby!
We did the tours asap and got that out of the way to enjoy our vacation......
Really every time -share place isn't that great (sales people/mgrs) sorry folks, they have a job to do, sell sell sell.......that's a fact, I equate them with used car sales people.......... just remember, cheap vacation, all the resorts all over Orlando are about the same, big, beautiful, new, etc etc, companies need the competition and the consumer is getting the value from the over abundance of the competetion, don't buy, waste of money, no real property value. Check the net......contact the consumer BBB in Orlando, look into the real estate market.........
I was in the Travel Industry for years and I can say first hand we did alot of time shares for a few years 2-3 times a year (the companies allow repeats* after 6 months)........
Take the offer, and have a great trip.
Ignore the nasty people and just say no, and sign nothing.
There's more people that travel like this that will admit........believe me.

4/10 then get me some WARM FL SUNSHINE!!!
