With all due respect, since you may not yet be familiar with any of the areas and / or resorts mentioned in various posts above, you might want to consider first renting in several different areas before committing to buying any timeshare in any location you've never actually visited. Personally, I don't think it's a very good idea to buy a timeshare you plan to use "in the blind", based on numbers alone. Buying is always relatively easy. Selling, if you discover that you don't particularly like what / where you've purchased, is generally much more difficult (...and maintenance fee bills are either forever or until you sell or die, whichever comes first).

Various areas within Florida are very different from one another. The East Coast is very different from the West Coast. The Panhandle area is different from either one. The Florida Keys are their own little world (...with expensive timeshare maintenance fees). Orlando weeks are always available, but do you really want to own there?

In short, I would suggest renting in and experiencing different places before actually buying anything. Just my personal opinion, offered merely as food for thought.

Thank You, I want to develop a list of good TS's so that I can check them out and rent as you stated so that I have an idea what will work for me
