Purchased Lakeshore Reserve

Oh geeze, where are my manners?!

Amanda, all that you've proven is that you know a way to enjoy many vacations at your new "second home." Congrats, it looks absolutely beautiful.

Wow, thats a ton of $ for a Marriott in Orlando. You made a decision that you are happy with. Good luck and enjoy it.
 
Wow that is a lot to pay. Especially when you own Grande Vista and could just trade into the Lakeshore Reserves every year without spending anymore money. I have seen Grande Vista Platinum week selling on Ebay for as low as $4000.
 
There's no guarantee at this point that Interval International or Marriott will allow a Grande Vista owner to use his/her week to trade into the new Lakeshore Reserve property.

I bring this up because I understand a trading restriction has been put in place over at Oceana Palms with all the Ocean Pointe owners.

Those that own at Ocean Pointe are NOT ALLOWED to make a trade into the Oceana Palms property.

Interval and/or Marriott is making this "Geographic Restriction".

Go figure.

Until now, as far as I know, there's no restriction in Orlando (Grande Vista Habour, Cypress and the Palms. Maybe Marriott will separate them from Lakeshore. Anyone has any update on this subject?

Maybe they'll implement the block later, but I just tried trading Ocean Pointe into Oceana Palms and got all they way to the point that II wanted my credit card for the ongoing search. There were no restrictions.
 
Yes, they are restricting an OP trade into the new Oceana Palms. They are calling it a geographical block. In fact, it has been one of the biggest topics on the OP Yahoo newsgroup in the past week and a half.
 
I wonder if they'll put a block on BeachPlace Towers as well?

Brian
 
Beachplace is 50 miles away from Ocean Pointe, and to date there have been no Geographical Blocks between these two properties.

The Lakeshore Reserve property is a matter of just a few miles from Grande Vista, much like Oceana Palms property is in proximity to Ocean Pointe.
 
I can see Marriott blocking MGV

As a trade option from Lakeshore, to me it makes complete sense. I see another post on here from a person who is considering buying Lakeshore but with no intent on going to the location. That is the opposite of why I purchased - My kids are small enough where we will get enjoyment out of this for at least 5-10 years.
 
If they block Grand Vista...it appears the Florida Club just became more valuable.:D
 
It is possible that they could only impliment a block for a certain time period. For now they want owners at Ocean Pointe to buy at Oceana Palms, so the block makes sense for now. Though down the road when the new resort nears sellout the block makes less sense and they may lift it. I don't see them doing this in Orlando as they havn't done this with any of their other resorts there.

There are a total of six currenty. They are in groups of three with regards to proximity. Three at the World Center and three in the SeaWorld area. There hasn't been a block to this date. The Lakeshore Reserve is close to MGV also but not as close as Harbour Lake or Cypress Harbour.
