My fiance and I are going to Florida in August thanks to his mother! She has booked a 4 day stay at Longboat Beach Resort [something like that!] and I was just reading a lot of reviews on it.It seems really beautiful and really expensive! But,I’m curious as to what we will need money for and how much we should try to bring with us.Key word is TRY! We aren’t poor,but with him on disability and just me working part time and in shool part time,we’re obviously on a budget.But we have a great landlord so we don’t have to pay Augusts rent until we pay Septembers! I’m definitely goinng,and want to know what to expect.Wht things we can do there on a budget and what things to avoid. I don’t won’t to go and be broke the first day! We’re flying down,once again thanks to his mom and mine! And we will be getting a pretty reasonable price on a rental because his aunt owns a Hertz,or something like that.I’m truly thrilled because life has been extremely rough lately and I’ve never been out of Mass! I just want to know what to expect,any additional fees we have to pay although it’s on a timeshare.And if anything comes included,any dining or spas? Thanks! I def could use all the advice possible.

the 00 includes roundtrip airfare and a minivan for 8 days. not the hotel. but i plan on staying at a timeshare resort to save some money.Also is the time we have there -have to subtract 2 days for plane/travel days is 6 full days. is this enough time you think? we did disney last year, so this year Universal, Coca Beach, and wonderworks and Magical Midway. So please let me know if you think I got a good deal and if you think 6 full days is enough. thanks
oh the price also includes travel insurance

I need to know what your favorite Deluxe Disney resort is, Wilderness Lode, Polynesia, Grand Flor….etc. I’m staying at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge, but I want to know what your favorite is and why. Also if you’ve ever stayed at a Disney Timeshare (Boardwalk, Beach Club, Saratoga, Old Key West, etc…) tell me about it and why you liked it so much, or why you didn’t. Thks in advance!

Okay so next summer for my senior trip i was wanting to take a trip to Siesta Key, Florida which is located in Sarasota, Florida with my two best friends. I’m pretty sure we would stay there for a week or a week and two days. The whole reason of us going there is to go to the nice white sandy beach. And for right now i’m just trying to get a money estimation for it because we are paying for it ourselves. The whole point of this is to figure out where we should live. Should we live in a Condo, a regular hotel, or some other type of living area??? And what are some disadvantages and advantages.

This is the ad I found on craiglist

"We provide guaranteed tickets to most of the area theme parks

Thank You for your business"

I called and they told me they will deliver the tickets to my hotel. Can anyone tell me how my credit card could protect me if it turns out that the tickets are not usable?

I called Discover and they told me it might be impossible to get the money back, since the broker is actually having the no refund policy

A friend of mine recently moved to Florida and began selling timeshares. I referred my mother-in-law to her, because she has been talking about selling her timeshare for years now.

Is it typical practice to pay a certain amount before your timeshare sells? She was charged a fee, a large fee, but guaranteed that money back once the timeshare sells.

I was always told that you never pay for anything in advance, especially real estate. And she hasn’t received the paperwork in the mail to sign, so is this even legal??
(She was told the paperwork would be Fed-Ex delievered on Saturday, yet we haven’t received anything.)

My mom got talked into purchasing a "discounted vacation" over the phone through a company called Great Vacation Destinations. The trip is a few days in Orlando, FL and then a couple days on a cruise to the Bahamas, followed by a couple more days in Ft Lauderdale. The catch is that you have to go to a timeshare presentation for BlueGreen timeshares. And there are bonus vacations that you can take to Las Vegas and Cancun etc later on.

She now regrets the decision to buy, but has already shelled out a good chunk of money which I don’t think she can get back, so we are going to go check it out. I have heard lots of people’s opinions that all these types of offers are scams, and I would tend to give the same opinion, but is there anyone out there that has actually gone on this vacation with this company and could report on their experiences and/or offer any advice to ensure that the trip is at least a success, even if it’s not the great deal that they sell you on over the phone. Thanks!

I am looking to book a trip for 14 to disney world fl. and I would liketo have a comfortable condo at a reasonable price. Also if there are any sugestions for park tickets that would save me money.

I am new to Wyndham/Fairfield Timeshares. I made a reservation and I did not have enough points, so I had to buy them. Now I have cancelled the one day that was over 0.00. I cancelled more than 30 days before, will I get my money back?? HELP

I’m asking this because I hear alot of people that these things are a scam.

Thing is that my parents bought one, however it’s not a time share where you’re stuck in one location. You get x amount of day (i think now it’s changed to a point system) and you can choose to spend time in any of the resorts they have around the world.

My parents bought it with the sole purpose so that we could travel and go on vacation (they didn’t do it as an investment)

now I’m scared that people are saying is bad and stuff. I hope my folks didn’t make a big mistake.
i’m not sure how it works

the only thing i know is that my dad pays some money every other year (idk if that’s for maintenance or
the timeshare)

but yeah i guess my parents’ purpose was so that we could travel to differen places every year.
