Last week in the Timeshare Owners Blog, I mentioned that many people have discovered September is an excellent month for taking a vacation. This month is an especially good time for visiting theme parks like Disney World, as the crowds are typically at their lowest.

Recently, I ran across a unique item in the Detroit Free Press. If you are planning a Disney timeshare vacation in the near future, this interesting information may cause you to add one more item to your vacation agenda.

An entertainment attorney in Detroit, Gregory Reed, was, for many years the attorney for civil rights activist Rosa Parks. In 1998, Reed was part of a groundbreaking ceremony at the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. Following the ceremony, a man approached Reed and gave him an envelope. The man unknown to Reed, said only, “I believe you should have these.”

The envelope contained the original fingerprints and police booking cards, signed by Rosa Parks, dated December 1, 1955—the day Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus.

Beginning September 28, the documents will be on display at the Epcot Center in Disney World, Orlando, Florida. The exhibit will also include items from Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Jackie Robinson, and George Washington Carver.

As Reed says, “There’s an obligation to take note of this moment and time in American history.”

An Orlando timeshare vacation means warm sun, balmy breezes, and entertainment venues guaranteed to appeal to a wide range of interests. Much more than roller coasters or a ride in a spinning teacup, a Disney timeshare vacation can also include the chance to introduce your children to America’s social and cultural history in a very meaningful way.

Here are some excellent opportunities available to you now in Disney timeshare resales:

Henriette was an almost overlooked hurricane this past week, as the brutal Hurricane Felix, a strong category 5, grabbed headlines and left death and destruction across Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize and parts of Mexico.

Making landfall as a category one hurricane, Henriette hit Mexico’s tourist and timeshare resort destinations of Cabo San Lucas and Acapulco on Tuesday.

According to Eddie Dalmau of the Van Wormer Resorts, “Palmas De Cortez and Playa Del Sol sustained no damage”. He went on to say, in an article, which appeared in the Daily Breeze, that electricity and water were expected to be restored on Wednesday (September 5) and all roads from San Jose Del Cabo to the East Cape area were open, along with the San Jose Del Cabo airport that reopened on Wednesday morning.

As the storm made impact in the Baja area, the Mexican government declared a state of emergency in southern Baja California. Waves reached 15-feet and plumes of whitewater reportedly soared 30 feet into the air at the Cabo San Lucas marina. CNN reported that one restaurant owner said he had lost 40 percent of his beach before the storm even hit.

Two destinations of interest to timeshare owners have already released the following reports:

Villa del Palmar Los Cabos timeshares reports that at the time the hurricane hit, they had 65 percent occupancy and other than the effects of the rain, all resort amenities were available to guests as normal. Electrical service and telephone service were not interrupted because of the storm.

Club Royal Solaris Los Cabos timeshare reported that they are operating regularly and that their beach was not damaged by Henriette.

Here’s a nice You-Tube video shot earlier this summer at Cabo San Lucas during sunnier times.

Matthew Fitzpatrick of Las Vegas has been arrested and charged by the state of Nevada with five counts of felony theft and fourteen counts of deceptive trade, related to timeshare resales.

Attorney General Catherine Cortez and the Nevada Bureau of Consumer Protection allege that Fitzpatrick, through his company, Resort Property Specialists, defrauded people by listing their timeshares for sale and then requesting from them thousands of dollars to set up bogus escrow accounts. The accounts were supposedly intended to facilitate transactions with buyers, when in fact, no such timeshare buyers existed.

You can learn more about the charges against Fitzpatrick on the website for the Nevada Attorney General www.ag.state.nv.us.

People who were falsely told that Resort Proeperty Specialist had sold their properties are asked to contact (702) 486-3194, the Nevada Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection in Las Vegas.

The Street Talk Blog warned timeshare owners about questionable practices by Resort Property Specialists two years ago.—Good call!

For many people, September means that children are back in school and there will be no more extended vacation trips until the next school holiday. But for others, September is a great time to take advantage of vacation destinations, when weather is sometimes cooler and crowds are always smaller.

In case you are considering an Orlando timeshare vacation and a trip to Walt Disney World, here’s a good link to news about the Disney parks. You’ll notice that the AllEarsNet, also suggest September as a wonderful time to enjoy Disney and all the Orlando attractions.

And if you are going to Orlando—the timeshare capital of the world—then by all means look into the excellent opportunities in Orlando timeshare resales and Orlando timeshare rentals, whether you choose a Disney timeshare or one of the many other Orlando timeshare resorts in the Orlando-Kissimmee vacation area.

Here’s some other interesting information about Orlando, as you segue from summer into fall: On the TechDirt website, one of the forum readers recently made an interesting observation about Disney’s use of the Segway (those two-wheeled, battery-powered individual people transporters). As the writer pointed out: “…best use of Segways has got to be by parking lot attendants, especially at places like Disney World. These people walk back and forth, up and down the rows directing cars to their parking spaces. On a Segway, they’re still tall enough to be seen.”

Segways, produced by a company based right here in New Hampshire, work so well in busy tourist destinations that the City of Orlando plans to invest nearly one million dollars on Segways for “city ambassadors” who will wheel around the downtown area, providing information and assistance to tourists.

Sadly, the EPCOT Tour once offered to park guests, which included rental and use of a Segway, was discontinued. Now only park employees get to enjoy buzzing around the Disney parks on two-wheels
