1. Owner & Exchange Wine and Cheese Social: Not an actual Social, we did get the wine and cheese then sat down for a primer/slideshow on how to use II and Marriott points more efficiently and then many plugs for Sales.
Did get more understanding of the Pecking order in getting July/August. If you own six weeks here you will have priority over a five week owner to get that first jump on those prime months and on down to the measly EOY one week owner like us. At least four owners attending owned more than four weeks. Once in that prime unit, they stay the whole time. I believe the MC said $32,500/week was the going Platinum price right now.
2. Shuttle service: There is a street sign saying Shuttle Stop just beyond the big water fountain. We took the 10AM shuttle to Fashion Island -- a high end and unique shopping center (mostly outdoors). You can stay until pickup at 2:15 or 6:15. It's about a 20 minute ride.
3. Tennis: The courts are at the very far end of the complex -- a huge walk so drive there. Rackets can be rented at $15pp and can charge to room. Pick up rackets at Activity Center in Bldg. 2200. You also can have a shuttle pick you up and take you home if you call them.
4. Activities: Every day has over ten activities for all ages and real fun ones like Iron Chef Competition where you pick up secret ingredient at King Triton's Cove and go to your villa and prepare one dish using the secret. Return your dish by 2:15pm to be judged.
Closing comment: This development is getting way too large. :annoyed:
