Orlando Vacations By Wendy

Orlando Florida time share vacations Orlando Entertainment Magazine Report Enjoy an Orlando timeshare vacation promotion Timeshare ownership is probably one of the least expensive forms of vacation options. By Wendy Croix Disney Timeshares in Orlando, Florida Florida represents the lion's share of the American time share market, and why wouldn't it? Year round, Orlando timeshares remain in high demand, and business is booming. Disney timeshares can be ideal investments, paying for themselves in vacation savings over about five years. Florida vacations are desirable year-round, making an Orlando timeshare a good deal any week of the year. They're also hot properties for timeshare swapping, should the owner want another vacation destination. Disney, Disney, Disney—and More! Florida timeshare buyers know they'll have perpetual Disney, and lots of it to choose from. Of course, there's Walt Disney World and Epcot, but there's Disney-MGM, too. Families safari at Disney's Wild Animal Kingdom, swim with dolphins at Disney Cove, and watch Cirque du Soleil at Downtown Disney. No Orlando timeshare is far from a Disney attraction or other Orlando theme park—or the 660 miles of Florida beaches. Disney Timeshare Promotions and Vacation Packages Disney timeshares, including Disney World in Florida, belong to a network of timeshares at all seven Disney attractions. Timeshare owners can buy weeks, or they can buy memberships in the Disney Vacation Club, a flexible point system that allows owners to borrow or save points toward longer vacations or upscale accommodations. Disney timeshare promotions include Extra Magic Hours, which allow timeshare owners to stay in a theme park three hours past closing, and free transportation at the parks. Disney timeshare vacation packages are available through timeshare vacation brokers. You can "own a piece of the magic" starting at $14,700. Sources Disney Timeshare < www.timeshares.plus.com > Disney Vacation Club Resorts < dvc.disney.go.com > Vacations in Orlando timeshares: Disney World forever! Orlando has culture, arts, breathtaking 50-acre Leu Gardens (and 96 other city parks!), and endless outdoor recreation. Of course, Orlando boasts all things Disney: Walt Disney World, Epcot, and Disney-MGM, for starters. Disney's Wild Animal Kingdom is safari central, Disney Cove lets you swim with dolphins, Downtown Disney offer the spectacle of Cirque du Soleil. If by some rare chance your family tires of Disney, you'll have Sea World, Universal Orlando, or the Islands of Adventure theme park. There's so much to do in Orlando that you'll be planning next year's vacation before you leave your timeshare. Orlando timeshare promotions and vacation packages A typical Orlando timeshare promotion might include a full vacation package, five days/four nights at a luxury timeshare for about $50 per night per person. Your timeshare vacation package will include lots of extras, like ticket deals to local attractions or free dinner cruises. You'll listen to a 90-minute promotional presentation, and you'll take a tour of the timeshare property. Use this as a chance to chat up owners. Find out about the services and amenities and about the property management before you make an fun-in-the-sun Orlando timeshare your own. Sources City of Orlando <www.cityoforlando.net> Corinne Walker's Timeshare Purchaser's Checklist <www.tug2.net> Resort Condominiums International <www.rci.com> Orlando Vacations By Wendy Croix Orlando has something for everyone. With an international airport and a fast, friendly public transportation system, Orlando is timeshare traveler-friendly. Vacation owners in Orlando nest on prime timeshare real estate. They can trade their Orlando weeks for time in other locations if they want, but odds are, they'll never run out of fun in Orlando. Vacation Diversity Multicultural events and dining attract tourists to Orlando. When they're not at Epcot or Walt Disney World, they can explore the Universal Studios Florida movie theme park, enjoying its forty-one rides. The Lost Continent, Jurassic Park, and Toon Lagoon await visitors to Islands of Adventure. Animal lovers and kids of all ages go for Gatorland and Sea World. Those with timeshares are busy planning next year's vacation before this year's Orlando holiday is over. And the best thing about Orlando? There's always more to look forward to. Orlando Timeshare Promotions and Vacation Packages Vacations at Orlando timeshares are a great way to have a fantastic, affordable getaway and explore the timeshare concept. A typical Orlando timeshare promotion offers five days and four nights at a luxury timeshare for $50 per person per night, but check RCI and other timeshare rental agencies, as discount vacation packages are often available. Remember, a timeshare vacation package includes other inducements beyond affordability: tickets to local attractions, free dinners, and free tourist activities. Ideally, the timeshare's amenities will be clear, and there will be opportunities to chat up current owners. Timeshare promotions include property tours and promotional presentations, which are usually 90-minutes and designed to sell, though high-pressure tactics are forbidden by law. With so much to do, looking into an Orlando discount vacation package could be an effort well worth making.
