Hello I travel a lot, and I am an SPG platinum member. However, we have 2 young kids so having extra room for weeklong vacation (and laundry is a must). We live in middle America, but have direct flights to most locales. We have been going to Kierland every year on Explorer packages, but thanks to info on this sight I have been turning down the Vistana pitch. I am interested, however, in buying something on resale just need some advice on what and where to look. See my survey responses below, and THANK YOU!
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Something beachfront, Florida, South Carolina. We also would visit Kierland/Disney, and not opposed to Mexico or Hawaii but those are much further flights.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Would visit home resort half the time, but being able to trade for skiing or longer trip to hawaii would be a nice perk to have.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Disney, Scottsdale, Colorado (ski location), Carribean or Hawaii
4) How many people do you usually travel with? 2 adults, and two young children.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? Somewhat locked into school schedule, Spring/Summer breaks would be ideal, however, the kids are young enough they can miss a week and its not a problem.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
4 or 5 stars
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
$25-$35k
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
$2000-$3000
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Somewhat. Willing to make calls etc, exactly 365 days in advance
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
Yes
