OMG - i've been reading all these posts for hours and it seems more complicated with each one I read. My DH and I just bought a timeshare with Orange lake - yes, we were suckers like many of you were - and after doing our research (after the fact but w/in our 10 cancellation time frame), I'm wondering if it's just a huge hassle that I don't have time for. People are saying that you have to "learn the system". Ug.... I'm too old and too busy for this .............. please be honest - is this worth it???
Thanks!Mary
Timesharing is not for everyone. If you don't understand exactly what you own, and how to use it, you won't get the most out of it, and you probably won't enjoy it. Right now you might just be feeling overwhelmed by all the new info.? If I were you I would rescind immediately, and do your homework, and take your time, before you buy (and buy resale!)
In general, to make timesharing really work for you, it helps if you are a big time planner, can commit to a vacation at least a year out, and you enjoy the details of trip planning. To a lot of owners, (ME!
) the planning is half the fun! If you don't think that's you, maybe renting would be the best for you, because you don't have to deal with all the little details of reserving and exchanging.
Either way - rescind, hang around TUG, learn more about timesharing, and then you'll be able to make a decison you're happy with.
Be SURE you follow the directions for rescinding to the letter! Very important!
Good luck!
