Westgate has to be the absolute worst timeshare company. I noticed that that their resort with a water park in Orlando was in last call inventory so I called them to see the price of the water park. It's $20 per person per day. Meaning access to the water park for a family of 4 for a week costs $560. The water park is crap in comparison to the wilderness resorts that you have free access to when you stay as a Wyndham owner.
The late John Chase (
timeos2), wonderful timeshare guru & good friend to many TUG people, detailed many of his gripes with WestGate right here in the annals of TUG-BBS. He consistently referred to WestGate as
Wastegate. He gained his familiarity with WestGate the hard way, as owner & vacationer at WestGate resorts. Thanks to John, we managed to steer clear of WestGate until 2019, when we succumbed to an RCI siren song offering a bargain-priced January 2BR week at the big WestGate timeshare in Kissimmee FL over on the west side of the Disney Gap. We wanted to hate the place, but it was actually OK (except that our unit was in a cell phone dead zone -- zero bars). Then again, all we did was stay there. We did not get tangled up with WestGate in any other way.
For timeshare water parks, we like FantasyWorld in Kissimmee FL, behind Olive Garden near Mile Marker 11 of Rt. 192 -- nice zero-depth entry main pool, hot tub, warm tub, splash zone for kids, lazy river, & dual-lane tall water slides (up 51 steps in a launch tower -- I counted). No extra charge for the water park.
