If you click on QUOTE at the end of my post, the questions will open up in a new window for you to answer:
1) Where do you want your home resort to be? Not sure, I want to be able to go to multiple resorts, not just the same one every year. So I want a timeshare that is flexible.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? Probably trade more than half the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? Hawaii, Desert, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Tropical locations
4) How many people do you usually travel with? It depends if my older daughters come with us, if they don't, 4, if they do, 7.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? Again, if we take just my son, we are flexible, if we take the girls, then we have to stick to school schedule.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes, definitely
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? I don't always like to go for a week. I prefer being flexible in this. I would like to do some 3 day weekends and also stay 10-12 days sometimes if I am traveling far.
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 4-5 stars definitely
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?$25,000
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? I don't want to start off at more than $2000 a year currently for MF's. I realize they will go up.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Yes, very much so.
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? Yes. We are already owners of Disney Vacation Club and love it. We own 855 points and are happy with it.
