Foxrun is a former VRI-managed resort, meaning that it was recently taken over by Capital Vacations, a company that absorbed all VRI resorts, it seems.
The fees are again very reasonable. It's a good trader, and has gotten some great trades over the years. I bought it about 15 years ago, strictly to use for exchanging into Disney, then Disney moved to RCI and I used it as a trader into the Marriott Orlando resorts (It trades very well into Orlando Marriott and Vistana Villages and no size upgrade fee to the 2 bedroom).
The week is week 52, Unit 29, 2 bed, 2 bath, fees of $931 for 2024. These are the townhouses that are attached with just one other townhouse, very spread out not a lot of neighbors. Great kitchen, the place is updated regularly.
It's very near Asheville, NC, and of course so many attractions nearby. It's on Lake Lure, where Dirty Dancing was filmed. When you see pictures of the lake in the movie with Patrick Swayze, it's this lake. Rumbling Bald is a beautiful recreation area.
It's a favorite of some TUG members who love it so much that when we had an opportunity to end the timeshare a few years ago, I fought to end it as a timeshare, but so much consternation here on TUG on my opinion to just let it go. I guess because people absolutely love Foxrun.
Week 52 is New Year's Week most years, and I only use it for II, never used RCI because the trading power in RCI is pretty awful. I think it received 18 points.
As far as Disney is concerned, I can see right now with week 52 for 2024, two one bedrooms for May, one at Saratoga Springs, and one for Old Key West. I see all of the studios with this week. The one bedrooms are such a bargain to grab, MF+ exchange fee +$190 to Disney. It's a little over $1,400 for a 1 bedroom at Disney. Such a bargain. We almost always get the one bedrooms. Consider that one bedrooms at most Disney resorts do sleep 5 people. I originally could see 2 bedrooms at Disney, but the change in trading power occurred this go-round.
Exchange fees for II are $229 now. That will probably go up next month. II tends to raise prices each year. We will soon know.
Use won't begin until 2025. I had to pay the fees for 2024, so 2025 would be your first use.
I will do the closing myself and will pay the $200 transfer fee.
