So true. We once were able to request a "late" checkout of 11am at HGVC instead of the normal 10am...a treasured stuffed animal had gone missing and we needed extra time to look for it. Found it behind one of the couch cushions and checked out "late" at 10:30.Every stay at DVC is a late checkout for us. They allow 11am checkout when most other timeshare resorts are 10am.
