Orlando Timeshare

Just in time for spring break and summer vacations, Bluegreen Resorts has added another Florida timeshare to its collection of properties. Bluegreen at TradeWinds, recently updated in a $20 million renovation, now affords Bluegreen timeshare owners and guests a new vacation destination at St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Located on 20 acres on peaceful St. Pete Beach, the TradeWinds offers water sports, beach relaxing, and the chance to make your Florida timeshare getaway as leisurely or as action-packed as you choose. This Gulf Coast resort is located on the  beach voted the nation’s #1 beach destination in TripAdvisor’s 2012 Traveler’s Choice Awards, yet also features a meandering waterway, five swimming pools, a 3-story water slide, and breezy cabanas for winding down and relaxing.

For dining and entertainment, you’ll be convenient to all the restaurants and fun of Tampa, the 11 onsite restaurants and eateries at the resort, and the on-site delights of Sharktooth Tavern, known for live entertainment, Karaoke, local cuisine, and the Tavern’s famous seafood gumbo.

Florida Timeshare is More than Orlando

Orlando timeshares are a great vacation choice, but when you long for a true on-the-beach holiday, there’s nothing like the beach resorts of St. Pete Beach, as well as other popular Florida beach destinations including Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic Coast and Fort Myers Beach and Marco Island on the Gulf of Mexico.

Sure, you can head for the beach and rent a hotel, but really –really—why would you want to? A Florida timeshare means you can pack light;  the convenience of a washer and dryer in your timeshare unit makes it easy to kick back on your balcony, relax and run a load of laundry… get the sand out of everyone’s shorts. A timeshare’s kitchen and dining area adds even more to the way you control your vacation experience, cutting back on the cost of restaurant dining. With your own stocked kitchen (just like home) you can  enjoy midnight snacking when the mood hits you or the chance to sleep in knowing that the kids are safely parked in front of the TV, with cereal and milk, until you are ready to start the day.

No one ever wants to discourage you from an Orlando vacation, with all it’s fun and attractions. But don’t overlook all the rest of what Florida timeshare has to offer.

On April 19, 2013, Marriott Vacations Worldwide (Marriott Vacation Club timeshare) will be hosting the 16th Annual Caring Classic Golf Tournament to benefit Children’s Miracle Network. Team and event sponsorships are available.

To be played at Marriott’s Grande Pines Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, 100 percent of the net proceeds from the fundraiser golf tournament will go to benefit the future Marriott Vacations Worldwide NICU pod at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies (Orlando, Florida). All who participate will enjoy a day of great golf and the joy of knowing that they are helping a significant cause.

Those who participate as Caring Classic partners will want to lock-in their playing spot now (Register here: http://www.marriottvacationclub.com/caring-classic/register.html). On course and supporting sponsorships are available.

More about Marriott Vacation Club and Winnie Palmer Hospital

Last summer, Marriott Vacations Worldwide (often called Marriott Vacation Club) announced that it would focus resources on supporting a charitable initiative to benefit the Greater Orlando Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraising efforts towards the expansion of The Alexander Center for Neonatology (NICU) at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.

A portion of the neonatology unit expansion will be recognized as the “Marriott Vacations Worldwide NICU-Pod” memorializing the commitment by Marriott timeshare to helping children, including the tiniest newborns being born in Central Florida. Marriott Vacations Worldwide has committed to raise more than $1 million to benefit the program.

Marriott Vacation Club Owners and guests at the seven Central Florida Marriott timeshare resorts are being given the opportunity to get involved by rounding-up their final folio balance to the nearest dollar, with the additional funds supporting the campaign. Additionally, guests will be able to donate their spare change to the campaign by leaving it in special envelopes upon checkout.

Consumers will spend $1.6 billion on chocolates and candy for Valentines Day 2013. But what if you could do so much better than chocolates or conversation hearts? What if you planned a timeshare resort vacation and gave your beloved a beach in the Bahamas, the glitter of Broadway or the Vegas Strip, a moonlight stroll in the Caribbean, time by the pool at a sunny Florida resort, or an evening in front of the fire at a cozy ski lodge?

All of these options are easy to plan and surprisingly affordable when you choose a timeshare resale or timeshare rental for your next romantic getaway. And while couples rarely reminisce about a box of chocolates, the beautiful memories of a vacation at a Florida timeshare, a Bahamas vacation ownership resort, or other Caribbean timeshare beach property can last a lifetime.

Timeshare resales are vacation resort timeshares that you purchase from the current owner. You can buy timeshare resales directly from the person or family that owns the timeshare or you can choose to work with a licensed timeshare real estate broker who specializes in vacation ownership and will “broker” the timeshare sale for you, still making it possible to take advantage of the great prices in by-owner timeshares.

When you buy a timeshare, you may be purchasing deeded ownership that represents your fraction of ownership; you may be buying a right-to-use timeshare; or you might be purchasing someone else’s timeshare points. Choosing to buy a timeshare also means that the romantic vacation you enjoy this year is only the beginning of years of vacation fun that you and your spouse or partner, your children, and even your grandchildren and your friends can enjoy.

With so many opportunities in timeshare ski resorts, Las Vegas vacation ownership, and thousands of other popular travel destinations, it is easy for you make a commitment to vacationing better, vacationing more, and enjoying your leisure time the way you’ve always wanted to vacation.

… Besides, timeshares are zero calories and fat free, something you just can’t say about that box of Valentine candy. 

When Disney World Orlando officially opened The New Fantasyland this past December 6, it marked an expansion that nearly doubled the size of Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. Fantasyland, (one of the six themed areas within the park) is the land of fairy tales and classic Disney; it’s the place to find Cinderella or Pinocchio. It’s also home to two new castles. As Chris Beatty, senior creative director Walt Disney Imagineering, explained to USA Today, “In every storybook story there are multiple kingdoms, places you can travel to, woods to wander through and get lost and come upon a new story.Now you can journey beyond the walls of Cinderella castle and find yourself in the forest and then at Beast’s castle, or go to the seashore and visit Prince Eric’s castle. It’s these other stories, these other destinations, where we want to take our guests.”

In the New Fantasyland, you’ll find Ariel of “The Little Mermaid,” with a ride that moves you along in a clamshell, winding your way through Ariel’s story. There’s also a grotto where you can met Ariel, her prince, and other characters from the story. Here you find Prince Eric’s castle; if you don’t recognize it from the story, look for the castle with the monogrammed “E” on the flag flying from the turret.

The second new castle belongs to the Beast, as in “Beauty and the Beasty.” Like everything else in Belle’s Village, the castle has a French style. Beast’s castle includes the Be Out Guest restaurant, where you order by touch screen, choose your table and then waiters serve your meal. The restaurant includes a fresco ceiling, windows allowing you to view the continually falling snow, additional rooms simulating the forbidden west wing of the Beast’s castle (as seen in the movie), a ballroom filled with dancing Beast and Belle figurines, and other images to capture the imagination of all who love the story of Belle and the Beast.

Other updates that are part of the New Fantasyland include an expanded Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride, Storybook Circus where visitors can “take to the sky with The Great Goofini on spiraling stunt plane adventure high above the Storybook Circus grounds,” and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which will open next year.

The New Fantasyland is the largest expansion for the Magic Kingdom since the park first opened. It’s also more than enough reason to plan a vacation to DisneyWorld Orlando. With it’s fresh feel, the New Fantasyland brings both new energy and timeless charm to America’s most beloved theme park. Even the approach to standing in line (a given at most theme parks) has an updated feel with interactive games and subtle nuances to engage your interest while your await your turn at the rides and attractions.

A Disney Timeshare Could Be Your New Castle at Disney

But the castles at Disney World aren’t limited to the theme park. Ask any Disney Vacation Club member and they will tell you that their Disney timeshare is a perfect “castle” for family vacations, romantic getaways, reunions, or almost any type of holiday celebration. Like the castles in the Magic Kingdom, Disney timeshare “castles” are also increasing in number, meaning that there will soon be even more options for enjoying  Disney vacation ownership as a DVC member.
