Orange Lake Timeshares and the Twins Who Look Out for the Swans

Author: Jason Tremblay

Orange Lake timeshares is generally known as a great place for a relaxing vacation with amenities to please the whole family, but I bet you never knew that they are also a swan’s best friend.

Orange Lake timeshare employees doing important work to protect the environment

Orange Lake timeshare resort (in Orlando, Florida) employs a duo of resident naturalists, twin sisters, Shirley and Sheila Bolin. Sheila A. Bolin, MS, is the official swan keeper for Orange Lake Resort and Country Club in Orlando, Florida, while her twin, Shirley A. Bolin, AGS, is the head photographer there. Shirley’s photographs and stories have been published in Sports Illustrated, The Miami Herald, USA Today, and other prestigious publications.

The sisters not only help safeguard the wellbeing of the swans, but work to protect the ecosystems at all Orange Lake timeshare resort properties. Together with the Orange Lake timeshare Grounds Superintendent, Shawn Boschert, the dedicated sisters work as members of The Regal Swan ®, a scientific research team that has discovered how to correct a threatening bacteria discoloration in swans.

This past April, US Congressman Tom Feeney presented the Florida Governor’s Points of Light Award to The Regal Swan ® at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club. The researchers had pioneered the use of a specific cattle vaccine used to treat botulism and an equine West Nile Virus vaccine to be used on swans. They were recognized by the Governor for their important contribution to environmental education.

Obviously there is a lot more going at timeshare resorts than most of us ever realized.

Tell Us Your Best and Worst Timeshare Promotion Stories

Author: Jason Tremblay

What a great time to spend Canadian dollars on US timeshare! I know I have mentioned this before, but with the value of Canada’s loonie strong to the US dollar, Canadians have never been better positioned to buy timeshare or rent timeshare in the United States.

And since Canadians are quickly realizing this, there have been a number of articles on timeshares and vacation ownership in the Canadian press lately with good advice for anyone who wants to buy timeshare or buy timeshare resales. But, I was particularly impressed with an article I read in Canada.com, titled, “No such thing as a free lunch“. Reporter Sandy Fife has done an excellent job of defining the pitfalls (many) and the benefits (a few) of attending timeshare promotions in order to enjoy a reduced rate vacation.

Notwithstanding the fact that a timeshare promotion deal may enable you to take a vacation with free or deeply discounted rates, and provides you an excellent chance to try before you buy timeshare, the high-pressure tactics of some salespeople may offset the value of what would have otherwise been a relaxing vacation.

If You Attend a Timeshare Presentation…

Fife offers the following good suggestions for surviving a timeshare promotion:

  • Choose a reputable name in the hotel and/or timeshare resort industry for your free (or reduced) getaway.
  • Be very careful if you choose to respond to a timeshare promotion that contacts you only by email or phone solicitation.
  • And lastly, she says, don’t even think about going if you are susceptible to high-pressure sales pitches.

As one seasoned veteran of enjoying timeshare promotions was quoted as saying, “You should never buy at a presentation, because time-shares cost much less on resale.” I couldn’t have said that better myself.

If you have ever considered going on a timeshare promotion vacation, just to enjoy the perks that come with it, take a few minutes and read the Canada.com article first. And if you want to sidestep the sales rush and developer prices, go straight to shopping timeshare resales.

When you visit the website for Sell My Timeshare NOW, we don’t give you free tickets to theme parks, or a coupon good for breakfast, but you can browse and peruse our huge inventory of timeshare resales and timeshare rentals as much, and as often as you like. You can show up in your pajamas or your favorite sweats, and from the comfort and convenience of your personal computer, you can take your time selecting the timeshare vacation option that is right for you. Best of all, what you save when you buy timeshare resales instead of paying developer prices, will help you pay for future vacations—vacations that don’t involve sitting through sales presentations.

Here are links to a few of the timeshare resorts from which you can choose at Sell My Timeshare NOW.
