Oh my, they must not be aware of the economy issues!!

They are crazy!! Hopefully thats a joke. If not, oh well cause I'm laughing!! :rofl:
 
All in all not that bad. (if you say it really fast)

Prime weeks at the new Orlando resort are almost $30K each, and one week in Maui is nearly the price of those TWO weeks in Aruba.

I just go a card in the mail today about Grande Lakes. It doesn't say how much it will go for, but honestly, I juswt don't know how they keep finding the people in Orlando to keep buying them. There are just SO MANY!!
 
Though the economy isn't great, there are a lot of people out there with money to spend. When we were purchasing Shadow Ridge a couple of weeks ago, the finance person (who filled out the purchase paperwork) kept having to leave us to juggle 2 other couples who were also purchasing because we didn't have an appointment. She kept getting calls because a 4th couple was waiting. If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. They offered a very good deal and threw in a lot of points and this marketing strategy worked.
 
For guys like me who bought pre-construction prices at the Surf Club I hope that Marriott keeps up the good work! Sell! Sell! Sell! Makes my resale value higher and ROFR higher. Bought the same weeks/season/view 5 years ago and Marriott has raised prices by 65%.:clap:
