The Timeshare Authority blog gives you many updates on events at the bigger and oftentimes better-known theme parks because so many timeshare vacations include activities at the parks and attractions. But we shouldn’t overlook some of the great fun at parks that many not be Disney-sized but are loaded with fun and entertainment while also offering easy access from nearby timeshare resorts.

The Suites at Hershey Timeshare are located within a mile of two of Hershey, Pennsylvania’s favorite (and most fragrant) attractions, HERSHEYPARK® and HERSHEY’S® CHOCOLATE WORLD®. This Bluegreen Resort timeshare property is Interval International Premier rated and is an RCI Gold Crown Rated timeshare resort. With plenty of opportunities to vacation in Suites at Hershey timeshare resales or Suites at Hershey timeshare rentals, you and your family could be savoring the fun and the chocolate in time for this summer’s vacation plans.

Here’s some great tips from the theme park experts at Theme Park Insider blog, a favorite on The Timeshare Authority blogroll, for enjoying your HERSHEYPARK vacation time:

• If you arrive early in the morning, either head for the Boardwalk water park or Fahrenheit to be beat the crowds. Enjoy these two popular activities early in the day and then enjoy the rest of the park at your leisure as most park goers do this in reverse.
• If you enter the park after 5:30 pm (you will be paying full price), your park entry for the second day is free, giving you a full day plus an evening to enjoy HERSHEYPARK while paying for only one day.
• Cubbies are available on the rides, so store your gear before you take on the thrill rides.
• Sit in the front on Great Bear. It is a must if you want to get the full experience.

Thanks and a hat tip to Theme Park Insider, one of the best resources ever for helping you get the most out of your theme park experience!

The magic of Disney Vacation Club timeshares is now on display in Long Island, New York at Disney Doorway to Dreams. Located inside the Roosevelt Field Mall, Disney Doorway to Dreams includes a full size, two-bedroom timeshare model that is based on the Disney Vacation Club Bay Lake Tower in Orlando.

A photo wall, videos, and touch-screen interactives, help give visitors to the timeshare showcase a fuller sense of the magic of becoming a Disney timeshare vacation property owner.

Howard C. Nusbaum, president and CEO of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) says, “Disney Vacation Club has always been both a leader and an innovator in the timeshare industry. Offering full-scale model vacation villas in a mall setting is uniquely Disney and this new Disney Doorway to Dreams location makes it fun and exciting for families to learn about new and memorable ways to vacation.”

Disney already maintains a Doorway to Dreams timeshare showcase property in Chicago, Illinois at the Woodfield Mall, that you preview on this video:

The Berkshire Eagle reports that at Berkshire Bentley Brook, a timeshare condominium, 40 employees (roughly half the resort’s staff) were laid off last week. Wyndham timeshare, which owns and operates Bentley Brook, says that the employees are receiving comprehensive severance packages, and that this lay off is the last expected at the resort.

Bentley Brook Timeshare Resort

Bentley Brook timeshare opened in 1998, and is located in the Jiminy Peak ski resort, of Hancock, Massachusetts. The timeshare condo has 155 timeshare units and was formerly a Fairfield Resort. Today Bentley Brook is one of more than 145 Wyndham timeshare vacation ownership resorts.

The resort’s location, with easy access to ski lifts and year-round area attractions, has long made it a popular destination for vacations in every season. Skiers enjoy the convenience of ski lifts only 200 feet from the resort – ski out your front door. In the spring, outdoor enthusiasts are eager to hit the area’s many trails for biking, hiking, and horseback riding. Summer is the time for water sports, picnics, and amazing cultural opportunities from Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, to the Shakespearean theater, nearby museums and historic sites. And in the fall, of course, everyone comes to see the autumn colors.

Bentley Brook timeshare resales are available in a range of prices, and as timeshare rentals. Employee cutbacks at the resort primarily involved the timeshare resort’s sales staff and should not impact the service and attention you will receive on a Bentley Brook timeshare vacation.
