I had forgotten about the $299 upgrade fee - probably because when I booked 2 weeks for next February, they did not mention it - I did not complain!

LOL! With SFX, even with the $299 upgrade fee, I think it's a very reasonable price (I'm Diamond, so I deposit a 1 BR and get a 2 BR upgrade, if available for no charge, so it works out great).

Now if only Vidanta would be consistent about what you get in the RM location (do you get pool access, burger joint access, etc?)

I don’t know why everyone is so negative; all you’ve got to do is buy in at the titanium level....

The fee perhaps wouldn't be as hard to swallow if you had open access to the entire property, or at least to the areas that you were previously allowed to go based on the property you were in. GL pool and Beach Club if staying at GL. The fee is awful any way you look at it, but given the restrictions on access it is that much worse.
