Wyndham is closing a handful of legacy resorts - dedicated chart/tracker located in the first post for this unfolding set of events

[HitchHiker71]

Interesting. I would have thought that the refunds would occur before the bankruptcy filings since they were directly authorized by a membership vote. Expenses for 2026 are being covered out of reserves, again by a membership vote, so that is not an ongoing issue.

I can add this to the meeting agenda for our next bi-weekly meeting. Perhaps I misheard as I was multi-tasking at times - duty calls when these non-work-related meetings are occurring during normal business hours unfortunately.

The young lady from Wyndham who was a t the meeting I zoom attended was very friendly, informative and articulate with her answers. Please pass on my compliments.

Edit to add: Clearly she was not from sales.

Yes, I met her for the first time on Friday's call I think (since we cannot be certain it was the same woman of course). She was very knowledgeable without a doubt. She was who I reviewed all of the HOA information with that we have documented in the OP on this thread.

I attended the Glade Stone Castle HOA meeting on oct 9th if that helps to see if it is the same person.

Club Wyndham Star Island (FL)

407-997-8000

CONFIRMED: YES HOA VOTE: COMPLETE - SEE NOTES

Owners have received notification for a special meeting to vote on the liquidation of the Wyndham property to be held on 9/29/2025. The vote was affirmative to proceed forward with bankruptcy and liquidation.

WYNDHAM EXIT

12/31/2025

From the above snip it seems to imply all of Star Island is leaving the system at the end of the year. But I just searched for a 3BR in Orlando for March 2026 and Star Island comes up.
Is it possible not all of the resort is exiting?

I think that is or was supposed to be updated to a consolidation. There seems to be some converted weeks in a different association that isn't filing bankruptcy. So it seems that some unit weeks at Star Island may still be available in Club Wyndham.

Yes, I believe @HitchHiker71 has yet to get to updating Start Island to Consolidating with all the other things on the plate and available time.

Given that the HOA at Star Island did file bankruptcy only had 53% ownership, I wonder if Wyndham didn't control enough ot Vacation Break in order to force a special election and vote for that association? It seems 53% was just barely enough to eek out a vote for the one they did push to Chapter 11.

In a prior post I asked if @HitchHiker71 could find out from his regular Wyndham meetings how many Star Island units/intervals of owners in the Wyndham system (points owners or in the Wyndham system) there were not part of the bankruptcy. Granted this would not give us the number that Wyndham actually owns in that set but would give an upper limit.

It is possible that there are Vacation Break deeds in CWA as well as Vacation Break deeds that Wyndham owns. Just like the other associations that are filing bankruptcy. They just don't have enough to control 50%+1. If they did, they probably would have pushed Vacation Break to bankruptcy too.

Agree, I am just wanting to know how close it is or an upper limit on how close it is.

all dates blocked on Extra Holidays for 2026

 

[dioxide45]

all dates blocked on Extra Holidays for 2026

I wonder if that is because they will be allocating anyone who has 2026 reservations into any available units at Star Island. Instead of cancelling guests they just move them over to the association units in Vacation Break that is remaining open. They may not want to put units into Extra Vacations if they might need them for CW reservations.

This is stating the obvious, which renders RENTERS post moot.

Simple question that I didn't see asked and answered yet. Did Wyndham by itself have a sufficient majority of affirmative votes to proceed forward with bankruptcy and liquidation of all the closing resort's HOA actions thus far?

All dates for Star island are also blocked out in the MAC except for 3/14-3/16 - up through 6/30/2026. I originally had SI set to Consolidation and then people said it should be Wyndham Exit. Now it’s back to Consolidation. For now, it’s stay as is until I get information that says otherwise directly from Wyndham given the MAC shows it as blocked off.

During my conversations on the Wyndham call on Friday, one of the Wyndham reps on the call is attending most of these meetings, name not to be shared of course. She also indicated that most of the meetings are similar in format and most have gone as expected, and she even explicitly mentioned that some of the owners who initially voted no, changed their votes to yes after asking questions and better understanding the reasons for the proposals in detail. So far so good basically. The vote tallies clearly show how well this process is going to date really.

The 2026 MF refund process likely won't occur until the bankruptcy filings are beyond a certain threshold - or into 2026 from what I understand. I think this has to do with the financials as it relates to the HOAs spinning down resort operations - but I neglected to ask why on the last call.

The Wyndham rep at the September 10 OIRC meeting is named in the minutes.

Still not to be shared?

I have no idea if it's the same person or not, since I wasn't on any of the HOA meetings, so yes, named not to be shared. Quit the fishing expedition.

 

[susieq]

I just attended most of the meeting, (via zoom), for The Bay Voyage. Nothing really new other than what's been posted, except that apparently The Bay Voyage is to be sold rather than be demolished. There was a gentleman from T&L there who said that this is definitely NOT on their radar, (show of hands ~ who believes this?). Owners are to receive an email with more information ~ specific to them ~ in the next few weeks.

I would already put Wyndham in as s 2nd tier system. The only other ones out there that might be interested would be Capital Vacations. That said, and as you say, if Wyndham can't sell the properties as timeshares, how can someone else?

If they wanted to sell these as timeshares, they would have simply dropped them from Club Wyndham and sold any inventory they were holding to the some other company along with the property management rights. If they were to sell them free and clear to another buyer with owners getting paid out, it would be like starting from scratch with another timeshare company. That would require a large upfront investment by the purchasing company that wouldn't be necessary if they were buying as a timeshare with some percentage of deeded interval owners already.

STAY away from Capital Vacations at all costs!!! There is big trouble at a resort they have managed that just came to my attention.

More info please, perhaps in another post in CV section. That said, it's unlikely owners opinions of a CV takeover are considered ... it's HOA members who need to be convinced.

We haven't heard any mention of any of these resorts on the list being demolished!

They are all being sold. If the buyer decides to deconstruct and reconstruct after property acquisition that is up to the buyer provided there are no regulatory constraints of course.

My reason for bringing that up is because I had a problem with that one word, demolished, being mentioned. As we've seen, one word can lead to a plethora of omg and rabbit hole posts.

I know it's been discussed in the threads that a buyer for Orlando International could tear it down to build something else. However, at this time this is just us talking possibilities as we like to do.

 

[Floridaman76]

It would not surprise me one bit if Orlando International was dozed. The rest, I don't see it in the cards. Especially the more rural ones, places like the Glade and the Arkansas one which don't seem to be legit timeshare destinations anymore will likely convert to housing of some kind.

Orlando International will probably be torn down and a new shiny set of luxury apartments will be built there. To go along with the thousands of others that have popped up all over the Orlando area the past 10 years.
