I'm surprised its this early. Last year's thread didn't start until 10/24 and we
had no Florida numbers until November (when counties mail their tax notices).
Perhaps they got the inside track electronically.

For Seaworld, it helps to specify OVS I or OVS II, as they're different.
My SeaWorld (OVS II) 2BR -- 2010 Total: $916.37 (2009... $857.80)

OK alwysonvac why the difference between your M/F & mine??

On my deed it shows the original buyer bought in 2003 it is listed as "Week 16 Unit 26 of Orlando Vacation Suites"

Also what is Arda Roc?

Thanks,
JM

ARDA is American Resort Development Association. A group that works on behalf of timeshare owners and developers. The $3.00 fee is a voluntary contribution. If you don't want to pay it, just deduct the $3.00 from your payment. It is totally voluntary.

Sea World 2 BR. 5000 pts. Gold
Operating Fee... JM-$592.45... AOV-$596.79
Reserve Fee..... JM-$176.55... AOV-$126.59
R/E Taxes........ JM-$125.09... AOV-$117.16
Arda Roc.......... JM - $3.00.... AOV - $3.00
Total Balance... JM-$897.09.... AOV-$843.54 (incl.arda)

The difference appears to be that JM is in "OVS" and alwysonvac is in "OVS II."
They are treated like separate developments.

ARDA is a lobbying group that is suppose to look after the interest of timeshare owners and developers in Washington. Unfortunately, the only time it seems they look after the owners interest are when they coincide with the interest of the developers. Personally I find them almost worthless as a timeshare owner.

OVS II is shorthand for "Orlando Vacation Suites II"
 
ok so that means that I was billed the wrong amount then correct. I should be 843 then not 897 is that not correct?? I will send them an email once someone can confirm this for me.

Its hard to say, unless you post what size unit you have and itemize your operating fee, reserve fee and R/E tax. Are you including or excluding the $99 membership? Then we'll be better able to compare.

according to always on vac. above, OVS I is 897 and OVS II is 840.

Im a 5000 point gold 2 bedroom OVS II. That is not including my 99.00 fee.

I am currently listed to pay 897. and change for my OVS II at seaworld orlando.


So I have exactly was always on vacation has but I am paying what people at OVS I are paying for my OVS II.

I confirmed my deed and my online contract both state OVS II for Orlando Seaworld.

Gosh. That does seem odd. IMHO, it could mean one of two things...
A. Your unit really is OVS I and your deed/contract is wrong; or
2. Your unit really is OVS II and misassigned by the accounting gnomes
who work in the bowels of HGVC's MetroWest offices.

BTW, there is a real suite of HGVC offices on MetroWest Blvd. I been there, not that they expect to see a live customer there. If you want to throw them for a loop and have the time, show up and say, "Hi."

i cant see it being an error as both my deed and my online contract saz ovs II. but watch they will try and change it on me now. i am in eruope right now on vacation and will not be home until the 22nd. i will have to call them when i get home to canada as the cost to even look at a phone in europe is over the top.

due before Jan 1st. The penalty is $50.00 after that. I bought mine in April, and the seller paid the penalty at the time of closing.

You are correct 'bout Jan. 1st being the "Date Due," but quoting my statement...
"Failure to pay the Total Amount Due within 60 days of the Date Due will result in the
imposition of a LATE CHARGE OF $25 [and] a FINANCE CHARGE... at the rate of 1.5% per month."

A Confession: I typically do not pay these MF's until mid-February.
It results from prioritizing year-end expenses thusly...
(1) R/E Tax on my House;
(2) Christmas-Related Expenses; and lastly,
(3) Timeshare MF's.
