One other memory....to get a free breakfast for the family, and out of curiosity, we took one of the tours selling time sharing.
We were warned by friends that it can be a hard sell tour and they were correct.
I wouldn't do that again...and yes, I resisted buying a week in a new condo development just so we could spend vacation time in Orlando each year.


Been on one of those in Virginia Beach. We were told it would take an
hour and in return we would get pretty good dinners at three very good
local restaurants. It was raining that morning, so it wasn't a beach
day. Sales pitch took two hours, we said no, but we did get three good
dinners for two at two of our favorite restaurants and one we'd never
previously visited.

A time share, to me, is a horrifically stupid purchase. The owner of the
time share gets to sell the damned thing 52 times. We did stay at a
Disney time share a few years ago, though, and the place was first class.
