Come, you will be so glad you did! In addition to having a nice time you will make new acquaintances, maybe some new friends and learn about places and resorts you might want to visit. And you will look forward to going again the next year.

We used up all our points & borrowed all our points from the coming year -- even bought a few added points from RCI so we could snag 1 more early 2019 reservation. Our points balance right now stands at zero.

That means timeshare accommodations for our January 2020 Orlando vacation will be a Last Call crapshoot.

Even so, we are optimistic that we can be part of the TUG Golden Corral pig-out Jan. 22, 2020 -- & we're looking forward to that get-together with renewed enthusiasm. It's always a highlight of our January timeshare vacation.

Starts at 2pm?
Starting at 2PM means we old folks get in for the sr. citz. lunch rate, but it's late enough so that before long Golden Corral brings out all the supper items, & the feast goes on.

Yum.

After we got home from a concert this evening, we logged onto RCI's web site & spied 1 bargain 2BR Kissimmee FL timeshare condo available as an Extra Vacation Getaway, checking in Jan. 18, 2020, & checking out Jan. 25. We grabbed it before it disappeared. Our reservation is confirmed. That means we definitely will be in town Jan. 22 for the 2PM TUG Orlando reunion at Golden Corral.

The timeshare unit we reserved is at Fantasy World Club Villas, 5005 Kyngs Heath Road, Kissimmee FL. From all I can tell via internet, it looks like a development of little townhouse-style units with 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom upstairs, plus kitchen, living room, & another bathroom downstairs. The location is good -- right near the corner of Rt. 535 & U.S. 192 (behind Olive Garden). Reviews by people who have stayed there are good to OK, so we think it will be all right. If not, then live & learn.

I was trying this morning to figure out how I could attend this years get together. I found a deal on lodging but could not find a deal on airfare. One of these years I’m going to get down to this get together

Important to take note of that address because there are several other Golden Corral locations in Orlando & Kissimmee, and it would be a shame to show up at the wrong 1.

This location is convenient to just about all the timeshare neighborhoods -- just south of the intersection of I-4 & SR-535.

One of these years we hope to join you guys down there too. Love meeting Tuggers, a lot of good meetings the past few years. Just can't "this" year (Jan 2020) for medical reasons, perhaps next year will be better.

This will be our first time being in Orlando when this gathering takes place. We hope to get there, and meet some of the TUGgers we've only know through posts!

I’ll need to start looking for someplace. If memory serves me right there are several HGVC locations very near this address. This would be my first time to sit down at an “official” tug gathering and sounds like a great way to put faces to some names. I will let you know.
