I am intrigued by this one and am inclined to buy direct from Marriott. The Founders deal runs through August 6th. Spoke to a sales rep and I have some questions:

1) Does anyone know if there will be reciprocal privileges at the JW?

2) Does the JW run a shuttle to the parks?

3) They would be willing to buy my Grande Vista week for 7,350 (2BR Platinum which is far too low for me to pull the trigger on this deal.)

4) I have no idea about anything that has to do with points, etc but I have the listings for those also.

Appreciate the input

If you search there is another thread about this...

I don't know how to link you to it. They say on that thread that they have the first 300 purchasers but I would imagine you could insist on getting the same benefits or threaten to walk away. It looks like it will be a beautiful resort and with the early purchase and lots of MRP's it will be a good value. If you buy developer then insist on those extra rewards though.

Here's a link to the topic: http://tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75959

I was told that the Founding Member incentives were sold out and that there are other incentives being offered. Check with your sales exec.

"1) Does anyone know if there will be reciprocal privileges at the JW?" Yes for the pool and lazy river at the JW, not the Ritz Carlton.

"2) Does the JW run a shuttle to the parks?" No.

"4) I have no idea about anything that has to do with points, etc but I have the listings for those also." Look at www.marriottrewards.com hotel rewards and travel package rewards for air & hotel charts/details.
