Boy, Timeshares are starting to sound more and more like all the Wall Street derivatives and other mortgage "products" that nearly sunk the country 2 years ago. Just keep adding options and confusion until the regular guy without an MBA can't keep up.
As a non-owner, I just can't see what the fuss is all out. For the first time ever, I stayed at a MVC at Grand Vista, Orlando paying $169 less a $30 night credit - in lieu of a normal hotel. Just me and 1500 other units sharing the same tiny pools off the side of a highway.
Yes, the rooms were larger and nicer than a normal hotel but to lock yourself in at these rates, year after year, is it just me that's crazy?
