If you don't mind a short drive and can use a Fixed Week, I'd opt for Val Chatelle III in Frisco, CO. The units are large and have a garage. Frisco is a great little town. An no, you won't have to spend $10,000 for a Week. My guess is that you should be able to buy a March Val Chatelle Week for around $1,000...

might be a good option. Do you know anything about how their company works? do you buy specific weeks or just by a week and pick what you need each year? Thanks for the help.

Hyatt has Hawaii, Breckenridge, and Carmel. I would check out the threads. I also believe Marriott does as well.

You should definitely look into a resale at Grand Timber Lodge

https://www.grandtimber.com/

The same company has The Lodge at Peak 7 and Grand Lodge at Peak 8. The Grand Timber Lodge offers the transfer of privileges, such as reserved parking during ski season and day use, that the other two properties do not have.

Buy a Summer week or Winter Platinum week for the best trading power.

This is a good looking deal, just as an idea. I have purchases from this seller with no problems.

More possibilities for sale or rent.

(as nice as the Grand Timber is, the spring/fall weeks really are worth only $1)

If you want to stay at Disney, you will need to own at Disney or rent at Disney. Exchanges are possible, but severely limited, and usually 1 bedrooms at Saratoga Springs.

You buy a specific Week and use it every year. For example you buy Week 11 and get to use Week 11 every year...

Yes, Breckenridge on a yearly basis.

Which time of year? Ski season? Summer season? This will matter for Breckenridge.

sorry, I have been away from technology for a few days. We would need during ski season every year for now, but in the future we will want to explore other places. thanks for everyone's help. I have also been reading the articles on TUG quite a bit and doing a lot of research on Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt because they are all in Breckenridge and have other resorts to use their points at. Still trying to figure out the best options.

Some of you saw this coming from me. But Welk is opening up their Breckenridge resort in October/November this year and have two affiliate resorts in Hawaii with their own that broke ground but doesn't have a publicized finish date yet. If you want to know more about Welk you can message me.
No I don't work for Welk, just enjoy the heck out of my ownership. Welk also has a top level resort on Lake Tahoe, Northstar Lodge.
