1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
We try to go to Orlando for Disney World about once a year.
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?
That depends on whether my home resort is in Orlando. I don't mind trading into Orlando since I've read that seems fairly easy to do.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
1. Orlando
2. Gulf Coast or Atlantic Coast beaches
3. Colorado/Utah for skiing
4. Hawaii
5. Europe
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
I have a family of 6 with 2 adults and 4 kids. I would like to be able to bring grandparents/friends on occasion.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
We're locked into school schedule.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
We typically have been planning 3-6 months in advance, but should be able to handle planning at 12 months.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes. We typically take at least one full week a year, plus one or two shorter trips (long weekends).
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
We prefer 4-5 stars, but we are ok with a really good 3 if it's in a desirable location.
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Not much, unfortunately. I'm expecting to get a decent size tax return this year (2-3k) as a downpayment and then will have to finance the rest.
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'd like to start out with no more than $1200/year since it will increase every year.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Yes! I like to have the hotel and transportation arrangements made well in advance, and I enjoy making those plans myself. Once we're on vacation though, I prefer to "go with the flow" and not have every hour of my day planned out.
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.
