The Best Use of Your Vacation Dollars, Demand for Timeshare

The Best Use of Your Vacation Dollars, Demand for Timeshare

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.

Taking an Orlando Timeshare Vacation? Stop and Save a Life

Taking an Orlando Timeshare Vacation? Stop and Save a Life

When you take your Orlando timeshare vacation this summer, you’ll have an easy opportunity to share in a special way, perhaps even saving a life. The Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association, in partnership with Wyndham Resorts is sponsoring the CFHLA Summer Challenge for blood donations.

Stepping up to Co-Chair the Summer Hospitality drive are Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort General Manager Jay Leonard and his daughter Karli. Karli, a young cancer survivor, and a patient whose recovery depended upon blood donations, says it makes her feel good to see all the people who are donating and saving lives. Karli explains, “Without blood, I wouldn’t be here right now. One pint saves three lives, and that’s three lives that need blood.”

Orlando timeshare and hotel guests, area residents, and members of the Central Florida hospitality community (those people who make your Orlando timeshare vacation or hotel stay fun and relaxing) are urged to step up, take the challenge and donate blood toward a goal of 5,000 units that are critically needed. To make it even easier for you to give, the “Big Red Bus” for blood donations will be making stops at many of the region’s hotel and tourist areas.

Some of the locations where you can find the Big Red Bus include: Hilton Orlando Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress (June 18); Disney Maingate annd Hilton Grand Vacations (June 19); Universal Orlando HR Gate, Universal Orlando various locations (June 26-29); the Gaylord Palms (June 19); Disney Vista Way, Downtown Disney, and Disney Epcot (June 20); and Disney’s Saratoga Springs, Disney’s Coronado Springs and Disney’s Magic Kingdom (June 27).

Happy Birthday Disney Vacation Club Treehouse Villas

The distinctive accommodations of the Treehouse Villas are individual units that rise 10 feet above ground. Situated in a wooded glen along the Sassagoula River, the Disney Vacation Club Treehouse Villas are an interesting mix of rustic design combined with granite countertop kitchens and baths, flat-screen TVs, and a décor of dark woods and soft floral print fabrics.

And although the Treehouse Villas are tucked away in a peaceful setting, they afford easy access to the award-winning spa at Saratoga Springs. Nearby is the 161,000-gallon High Rock Spring Pool, 3 smaller pools, Lake Buena Vista Golf course, 2 playgrounds, bike rentals, tennis, basketball, shuffleboard and convenient Disney transportation to all the fun of the Walt Disney World vacation resort, including a water taxi that will take you to Downtown Disney.

Disney Vacation Club Releases 2013 and 2014 Grand Floridian Resort Points Charts

Disney Vacation Club Releases 2013 and 2014 Grand Floridian Resort Points Charts

Bay Lake Tower Disney Vacation Club

Recently, the Disney Vacation Club released its updated 2013 and 2014 points charts for the Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

The Grand Floridian lives up to its promise of old Florida-style grandeur, spacious accommodations, and magical charm. Disney Vacation Club apparently has factored all this charm into the numbers as DVC timeshare points values at the Grand Floridian are among the highest of the Walt Disney World based resorts.

By comparison, nightly point costs at the Grand Floridian run some 30 to 40 percent higher than at Bay Lake Tower, even the rooms at Bay Lake Tower that offer the spectacular views of the Disney Magic Kingdom park and its nightly fireworks.

Let’s look at an example of how Grand Floridian Resort points compare to the Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Comparing a two-bedroom DVC Villa during “Magic Season” (for 2013, that is February 16 through March 23; April 7-30; Jun 11-August 15; and November 27-29) for a Standard View on a weekday, Bay Lake Tower requires 48 points, while the Grand Floridian villas require 64 points. For a Lake View the comparison (weekday) is Bay Lake Tower at 52 points while the Grand Floridian is 74 points and for a Theme Park View the difference is 64 points (weekday) at Bay Lake Tower and 74 DVC points for the Grand Floridian.
