Here's my story :blah: :
In the past, my manager at work has mentioned his Interval timeshare when the topic of vacations has come up. I think it has come up a couple of times in casual conversation and I got the impression that he was offering it to me if I ever wanted to take a nice vacation. I never really pursued it any further because I didn't think that they could offer any Disney resorts. Well lo and behold I'm passing the time trying to get a Disney fix by reading the different sections of the forum and it looks like Interval does indeed offer a way to get into WDW!! :eyes:
Now I am totally clueless when it comes to timeshares, so bear with me here. Reading through some stuff here, it appears that there is a $95 fee that Disney charges, and a $39 fee that Interval charges. Those would obviously be a small price to pay if he was indeed offering me the use of his timeshare. :fingers: Now here is where I get a little fuzzy. Does it cost him anything to get me in? ie. Does he have to pay any fees? Does he lose the ability to take a vacation for the year?
Also is it difficult to get a trade into a WDW resort? How far in advance can you or should you do something like this? I'm thinking it wouldn't be for a couple/few years in order to give our 1 year old baby girl a little more time to grow so she can really enjoy the trip and be able to do most of the rides and stuff.
Now my dream vacation would be to bring along my parents and possibly my sister. That would be a total of 5 adults and 1 child. Is it possible to get that many people in? Looking at the resorts they do appear to have some rooms/villas that can fit that many people. However, is it more difficult to get such rooms? Does it cost more? Would such rooms even be possible to get through an Interval trade? Are there any particular WDW resorts that would be easier to get? AKL or WL look the coolest to me (Wife would love AKL :mickey:).
I'd like to figure some of this stuff out before I get too excited and approach my manager.
If anyone can help out it would be much appreciated!
