I second this, though I'll admit my stay there was some time ago. If that was my only knowledge of vacation ownership, I'd have bought on the spot. I was really impressed.

Any updated reviews of Harbour Lake? Those of you with young (i.e. < 8 years old), is the pool area as fun as it looks (I guess you'd have to be < 8 years old to answer that! )? What kinds of daily activities do they schedule for kids?

I've booked a 2 BR villa for 3 nights in late Sept. Hopefully it will go over well with my youngsters. I also made reservations for 1 night at the JW and the Ritz (will have to cancel one eventually). I'm inclined to stay at the JW so the kids are closer to the lazy river pool, but we stayed at the RC a few years ago and I know that would make me and my wife happier! Any thoughts on whether I should stay at the RC vs. the JW. My room reservations at both are for connecting rooms. JW includes rafts and tokens and b'fast for the family. RC includes Ritz Kids for 2 children and all meals for the kids. I guess I have to decide what I value the most. For one night, I'm not sure the meal benefit at the RC is really worthwhile. We may end up having dinner off-property anyway.
