Plan on a Disney Vacation Club Timeshare holiday. Take the kids and see Cinderella, Mickey, and all the other lovable characters at Walt Disney World. But don’t plan on taking your children with you if you have reservations to dine at Victoria & Alberts at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Victoria & Alberts is the only Orlando Disney restaurant with a 5-diamond rating, and offers unquestionably some of, if not the best dining at Disney World. But this crystal and linen dining room serves 7-course meals that can last as long as three hours. Prices start at $125 per person and there has never been a children’s menu available at Victoria & Alberts. Obviously, the restaurant was never intended to attract family dining.

After Disney made the announcement, The Orlando Sentinel quoted Rosemary Rose, Disney World’s vp of food, beverage and merchandise operations, as saying that no more than two or three families a month brought young children to Victoria & Albert’s. Which now makes you ask, “So what was the problem?”

I wonder if Norman Van Aken, owner of Norman’s at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, doesn’t have the right idea when he suggests that banning children from the restaurant is a clever marketing strategy that causes people to now view Victoria & Albert’s as extremely special. Disney’s announcement has certainly garnered plenty of press coverage as people examine their thoughts on the, “happiest place on earth,” no longer permitting children under the age of 10 in their best dining room.

But go ahead and plan your stay at your Disney Vacation Club timeshare. Whatever the reason for the new policy, the decision shouldn’t cause a problem for more than, “two or three families a month”.

The Orlando Sentinel blog on “Tourism Central Florida,” has posted some interesting observations in recent weeks about Wyndham timeshares. Let’s start back in October, when they summarized Wyndham timeshare‘s quarterly report and noted that Wyndham’s Orlando timeshare division reported a year over year revenue growth rate that was the strongest of all the hospitality company’s operations during the third quarter, 2007. Wyndham Vacation Ownership reported a 22 percent increase in total revenue and a 15 percent rise in ownership sales. I feel certain the facts and figures behind this report were part of what lead Wyndham Worldwide Corp, CEO Steve Homes to say, “…time-share sales can hold up despite a sputtering economy.”

The Sentinel blog went on to quote Goldman Sachs analyst, Steven Kent, “…who echoed the optimistic assessment himself, adding, ‘We note that the typical purchaser of timeshare product is 58-years-old with a decent-sized nest egg, significantly more interested in leisure travel and less exposed economically.'” I also found it interesting to note that Wyndham timeshare CEO Holmes thought the sluggish economy probably could hurt hotel room rentals, which in itself usually bodes well for timeshare rentals.

What New Timeshare Sales Mean to Timeshare Resales

Whether you want to sell Wyndham timeshare or you are interested in buying Wyndham timeshare, this upbeat report is good news all the way around. As long as Wyndham is selling new timeshare condos and timeshare weeks, the company will continue to grow their business, building new properties and upgrading older timeshare resorts. People who buy timeshare, whether it is new Wyndham timeshare or a Wyndham timeshare resale, benefit from the focus the company places on service, quality and amenities.

But just as importantly, people who are trying to sell timeshare that carries the Wyndham name, will find that Wyndham’s growth and marketing of new timeshares only adds to the overall interest in becoming an owner of Wyndham timeshare, whether that timeshare condo is bought new or as a timeshare resale.

There is so much media attention on the shaky economy, and I too, have done plenty of blogging about how the changing economy is affecting timeshare real estate, but it’s important that none of us fall victim to a overly negative and incorrect attitude.

The timeshare resale and timeshare rental specialist at Sell My Timeshare NOW are ready to help you with all your needs when you sell, rent, or buy timeshare.

Marriott Vacation Club is expanding their Florida timeshare properties with a new Singer Island resort, the Oceana Palms, located in the Riviera Beach – Palm Beach Shores area.

In the company’s official press release Stephen P. Weisz, president of Marriott Vacation Club International, said, “Marriott Vacation Club has enjoyed being a member of the Palm Beach Shores community for the past ten years through our Marriott’s Ocean Pointe resort.” The company believes the new Oceana Palms timeshare resort will offer more choices and more availability at this high-demand location.

When complete, the timeshare resort will include 169 timeshare condos in two 19-story towers, which will combine the relaxation of a beachside vacation with the upscale lifestyle of Palm Beach, Florida. The timeshare condo décor will blend contemporary furnishings with tropical colors to create a relaxing atmosphere. Each of the timeshare condos will include a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, washer and dryer, multiple flat-panel televisions with DVD players, and spacious living accommodations.

If you are not familiar with Singer Island and Riviera Beach, this is the heart of Florida’s Gold Coast. The locale is distinctive with sun-soaked white beaches adjacent to restaurants, galleries, and boutiques that range from elegant to charming, but all in keeping with the “old money” ambience of Palm Beach.

Expected to be available in 2010, the timeshare condos are currently being pre-sold, at a starting price of $25,900 per timeshare week. What’s most important here, is for you to understand that you can also enjoy Marriott timeshare in the Palm Beach Shores community at a much lower price.
