. Seriously while we have grown to detest our Wastegate disaster of an ownership - thanks to THE worst developer/management in the world not the resort itself - our first timeshare was Cypress Pointe, Orlando - actually Lake Buena Vista - and still by far our favorite. The area developed nicely as a planned community, the location cannot be beat and with a float week we can visit whenever we want. For trades it has been great the few times we used it getting us Manhattan Club in it's heyday, San Francisco over July 4th and others. Most importantly it is the resort we always enjoy returning to anytime of year. Being in just about the best location in Orlando has enhanced it and we know what we'll find on return. Not a crap shoot on location, quality and unit features or the risks and unknown of trades. Orlando is a great place to own if you plan to use it. Like any area if you plan to trade you are better off with a points or multiresort system. It isn't any different in Orlando. Buy and own quality and it will be a highly satisfactory ownership. Own at a rat hole either in quality or management (there's that Wastegate again) and no matter where the resort is it's a pig to own.
