Disney Vacation Club Timeshare

We all love Disney, but let’s face it, sometimes the lines are long, the weather is hot, and at Disney World Orlando, there is always a chance for those summer afternoon showers. Which is why most of us would never consider attempting to ride all the rides in one single day during a Disney vacation, much less do what two guys from Parkeology.com have done.

Shane Lindsey and Ted (Teevtee) Tamburo set out to ride every ride in all four parks at Disney World in one day. And they did it … well they almost did it. There were the inevitable rides down for repairs and the rain-out that prevented them from tackling a few of the rides. To compensate, they rode other rides twice so that they would at least reach their target goal of 47 Disney park rides in a single day.

Billing their feat as WDW47, on June 16, 2013, Shane and Teevtee managed to ride 47 park rides within the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in one day of normal park operational hours—a total of 16 hours. And what makes this even more amazing is that they did not tackle this in the way you might imagine. Rather than working their way systematically through one park and then another, they truly park hopped.

We are assuming that they used the Disney Fast Pass system to reduce the time they waited in line for some rides. This would also account for why they would find it more logical to jump from park to park, only to return later to a park they had previously visited. Although the video below tells a great deal of their story, they don’t reveal their strategy… and clearly they had one for this epic endeavor.

The average person on a Disney vacation in Orlando rides 8 rides per day, which works out perfectly for a Disney timeshare week. For anyone who doesn’t want to attempt the 16-hour pace it requires to accomplish a WDW47, 6 to 8 rides per day make it easy to also enjoy the shows, entertainment, shops and restaurants available in all the parks.

For the eighth year, September will be celebrated in Orlando, Florida as “Magical Dining Month.” As if Orlando needed yet another magical reason for you to plan an Orlando timeshare vacation or getaway, the culinary feast is motivation all by itself to visit the City Beautiful.

Where are other vacationers choosing to spend their vacation days and vacation dollars? One of the best ways to gauge this is by looking at which resorts other vacationers place offers on to buy or rent on the secondary timeshare market–the information we’ve tracked for you in the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index.

The index lists, from 1 to 100, the most in-demand timeshare resales and rentals, based on the number of offers received to buy or rent timeshares advertised on our website. Better than just reading the reviews on travel websites, viewing the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index, tells you how people voted with their hard earned dollars–which is meaningful information whether you are an owner looking to sell or a buyer or renter looking to pick a vacation resort. Best of all, you can quick view the report here or download it and read it at your leisure from this link http://www.sellmytimesharenow.com/media/pdf/2013-Timeshare-Demand-Index.pdf/.

Here are a few of the insights you will gain from the TDI report:

• Which Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Resort made the top 10 on the Timeshare Demand Index?
• Which Orlando timeshare resorts ranked highest on the Timeshare Demand Index? (Hint: there are 4 Orlando timeshare resorts in the top 10 and a total of 7 in the top 25).
• Which property is the only urban timeshare to make the TDI top 20?  

The report is easy to use, listing all top 100 resorts.  The Timeshare Demand Index is your reference tool, giving you insights that aren’t available otherwise. Pair it with the SellMyTimeshareNow.com Live Feed of offers and you can not only tell which properties are receiving the greatest number of offers, but how much people are actually offering.

Yesterday we released the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index (TDI) of the most in-demand timeshare resales and rentals based on the number of offers made through our company’s websites to either buy or rent these timeshares. The Timeshare Demand Index covers a one-year period and only looks at the number of offers made on each resort. When consumers place offers (bids) on timeshare resort properties–either intervals, points, or vacation club memberships–they are establishing the true market value of shared ownership.

Just as importantly, the offers made by buyers and renters of timeshare devastate the myth that there is no demand for timeshare resales. Our first company, Sell My Timeshare NOW, is coming up on 10 years in successful business– a decade! If there truly was no market for timeshare resales and rentals, what could we possibly have been selling for ten full years of business?

The Timeshare Demand Index offers interesting insights on the vacation ownership industry. Current owners can see how their timeshares rank in terms of consumer demand. Also, the TDI gives prospective timeshare owners and renters insights into which properties other families and couples see as desirable, and perhaps even offers insights into how strong the resale demand will be for a property they buy now, should they wish to sell it in the future.

Everyone is encouraged to view and download the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index.   You’ll find the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index here: www.sellmytimesharenow.com/media/pdf/timeshare-demand-index-2013.pdf. You’ll find one Disney Vacation Club timeshare in the top ten most in-demand timeshares, and three other Disney timeshares within the top thirty.

Only one California timeshare, Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas made the top ten list, and remarkably, there were no Las Vegas timeshares in the top ten, although Elara, a Hilton Gran Vacations Hotel, Center Strip did  rank as number 12 on the list.

And what about the bottom of the list? What does it mean if a timeshare resort ranks number 100 on the TDI? Does it mean you shouldn’t buy timeshare at that resort?

Not at all.

Even the 100th resort on the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index is a buzzing property, with more than 200 offers to buy or rent timeshare at that resort facilitated through our company last year.
