Florida Timeshare Promotions - Timeshare Tours in Florida

One of the ways that you can save a little money on your next vacation to Florida is to take part in some of the Florida timeshare promotions. Because there are so many timeshares in Florida, timeshare promotions are quite common and not just in Orlando. You can go on timeshare tours in Florida in just about any part of the state.

While Orlando is certainly one of the most popular areas, you'll also find timeshares near Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Gold Coast, and along the Gulf coast of Florida. So whether you prefer the theme park attractions, Atlantic ocean beaches or the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, there are plenty of vacation deals in Florida and the sales folks there are all eager to have you attend their timeshare tours.

Now for Orlando, I think it is pretty safe to say that you can really just wait until you arrive to schedule some resort tours. You'll be practically tripping over the promotional opportunities anywhere near Walt Disney World, particularly along Highway 192 through Kissimmee. Any place that you see offering discounts for theme park tickets is likely promoting a timeshare. Just don't take the first offer. Spend a little time bargaining and they will usually increase the value of the enticements to tour a resort.

But for the rest of Florida, if you're looking for a timeshare promotion to help save some dollars on your vacation, then the first place to start your search will be the internet. Wyndham is one of the largest companies in the timeshare industry, so you'll probably want to start with them. There are many websites that offer discounted accommodations at Wyndham owned properties and generally one of the requirements is that you attend a presentation as well. Play your cards right though and you should be able to entice a few more offers out of them for your time.

Other Florida timeshare promotions might include discount theme park tickets, discounted hotel or resort accommodation, dining certificates, tickets to entertainment events like shows or concerts, or even shopping gift cards. So once you know what part of Florida you are planning to visit, do a quick search for timeshares for that specific location to see what kind of deals you can get before you book your airfare or accommodation. You could easily save hundreds of dollars just for a few hours of your time attending a timeshare tour in Florida.

Of course, another way to save on your next trip to Florida is to look for timeshares for sale before you even get there, so you can spend your vacation in your own resort home. As Wyndham Timeshares are widely available for resale, you'll be able to find a great resort in your favorite part of Florida for a bargain price.

Emma Martin currently owns timeshares with DVC and Royal Holiday Club and always makes vacationing a top priority.

Planning Your "Magic Your Way" Experience

DISNEY ENTERPRISE

When you start to plan your trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, you have many things to take into consideration. Walt Disney World is larger than the island of Manhattan in New York City with 4 theme parks (the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios), 2 water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon), ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, golf courses, a campground, and the Downtown Disney entertainment venue with Cirque du Soleil, House of Blues, Disney Quest and more.

Planning is very important so that you can take advantage of everything that you want to do. Here are some key considerations:

• When to go
• Where to stay
• How to get there
• Admission tickets
• Package deals

Extra Magic Hours

Extra Magic Hours are available to guests staying on Disney property. On property guests are given the privilege of visiting the theme parks and water parks up to an hour before and three hours after the general public is allowed inside. There will be certain attractions that open early or stay open late in each park which lets the on-property guests. Because the EMH vary, check to see what will be open during your time. You can do this by calling 407-824-4321 or by checking on DisneyWorld.com prior to your visit. This is something special so be certain to take advantage of it while you are on the Walt Disney World Resort property.

Guest Services

Throughout each theme park and water park venue you will see signs that read "Guest Services". This is the place where you can visit to set up dinner reservations at a specific property restaurant, get a daily schedule for in park shows, cash a check, leave your packages to be forwarded to your hotel, set up a golf tee time, get a spa appointment, and get answers to general questions. Be certain to take advantage of these services when you need to do so. The Guest Services Cast Members are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Park Tickets

There are many different types of Walt Disney World park tickets and passes and you should pick the one that best suits you and your family. Do you research before you arrive at the parks to save yourself some time and confusion.

You can buy your tickets prior to your tip by going online or calling 407-WDISNEY. Your tickets can be mailed to you or you can pick them up when you arrive at your Disney resort (or the theme park Guest Relations windows if you are not staying on site).

You can purchase tickets when you arrive at any theme park entrance, at the Disney character Outlet Stores near Walt Disney World, at on-property hotels, and in Downtown Disney. Package deals usually include park passes.

Dining

Some package vacations have dining plans included and those will be noted in your personal Walt Disney World Resort package when you get it. There are many places to eat inside Walt Disney World. Each theme park has several well known eateries and some of these require advance dining reservations. You can make your reservations ahead of time 180 days so if you know a special place where you and your family want to eat, go ahead and book before you arrive.

Doin' the Disney Drive: Tips for Happy Road Trips to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida

Your family's summer road trip to Walt Disney World is just around the bend, and maybe you're beginning to identify with the Clark W. Griswold family, from "National Lampoon's Summer Vacation." Then again, with a little planning, maybe your journey won't be a comedy of errors. Head down to the local video store, rent a copy of "Summer Vacation," enjoy the family's visit to Roy Wally World, and learn how NOT to drive cross-country. Afterwards, you may find some of these tips useful:

disney princess dress up

Have a place to crash. Nobody likes a late-night motel hunt, so if you reserve ahead you'll be the family hero. If you'd rather keep your schedule flexible, create a list of alternate stopping points that offer decent meals and lodging (don't forget the phone numbers). Phone ahead during the afternoon, once you have a better idea of how the day is shaping up, to be sure there's a room waiting for you.

DISNEY

Keep the kids busy. Many families bring enough games and activities to last the entire journey, and some invest in DC-powered TV/VCR combos, or portable DVD players. Books-on-tape (or CD) are another great idea. The Harry Potter books are more than enough for a two-day journey in each direction.

Get tuned up. Nothing is more expensive or frustrating than a breakdown when you're far from home. Service your car before you leave -- check the tires, brakes, transmission and air conditioning, change the oil, and top-off all fluids. Take extra care if you're driving your motor home or pulling a trailer -- schedule a checkup several weeks in advance, just in case you need a special part.

Be safe. Let's not fool ourselves. Driving is still more dangerous than flying. Improve your family's odds by switching drivers frequently and traveling no more than 500 miles per day. 24-hour marathon drives may get you there sooner, but you'll pay for it in risk and exhaustion. And face it, after a high-energy Disney vacation, the last thing anyone needs is a drowsy driver behind the wheel on the way home.

Do AAA. Make the most of your AAA membership and use its travel discounts, the latest news on highway construction, all the maps you can possibly want, and their famous Trip-Tik route planning service. If you don't have a membership, a long car trip is a good excuse to get one.

Have fun on the way. Why put your vacation on hold until you reach Disney? Plan visits to nearby points of interest. Just what roads do lead to Orlando, and what are the sights?

East Coast travelers usually cruise south on I-95, switching to I-4 near Daytona. Popular side trips along the way include Washington D.C., Williamsburg, VA, Cape Hatteras, NC, Charleston, SC, and the Daytona/Cape Canaveral area in Florida.

Drivers a bit farther inland (to as far west as Pittsburgh) pick routes that include I-77, I-79 and/or I-81, eventually joining I-95 in South Carolina. For a great side route for history and nature buffs, stay on I-81 all the way to Knoxville, TN, where it joins I-75 for the march through Georgia. National Parks and Civil War battle sites dot the route from Gettysburg, PA down through the Shenandoah Valley (did you know Disney once wanted to build a theme park here?), and on through the Smoky Mountains.

I-75 figures into the plans of nearly anyone from Ohio to Chicago, St. Louis and beyond, as nearly every preferred route merges with I-75 before it reaches Georgia. The Chattanooga Tennessee/Northern Georgia area has a variety of interesting natural and historic sites, and it's a perfect choice for your half-way stopover. Those farther south and west inevitably gravitate towards I-10, which hugs the Gulf coast until it, too, meets I-75 in Florida (who can resist a stop in New Orleans?) Once on I-75, Disney World-bound travelers head south past Ocala, Florida to Florida's Turnpike, which cuts southeast towards Orlando and I-4.

Here's hoping that your road trip is the finest kind of adventure!

The Magic Kingdom is the first park that was built at the resort. It was opened on October 1, 1971. There were 17 million visitors counted in 2007 making it as the most visited theme park.

Another theme park in Walt Disney World Resort is Epcot. It is dedicated to the technological innovation and international culture. The park was opened on October 1, 1982.

Families can stroll at the grassy landscape of Epcot. It also has lots of waters and trees. Epcot has two sections namely the Future World and the World Showcase. The Future World consists of many pavilions showcasing the innovative aspects of application technology. Thus, Worlds Showcase contains pavilions that represent the eleven countries. It contains representative restaurants and shops staffed by the countries citizens. World Showcase also has a 1.2 miles man-made lagoon.

Epcot also hosted a number of special events. People can participate with the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and the Holidays around the World.
Most kids love to visit the fourth theme park, the Disney's Animal Kingdom. Over 9.49 million guests visited the place ranking it as the fifth-most visited in US and eight in the world. It was themed for the animal conservation with seven themed areas. This includes the Oasis (paths to Discovery Island), Camp Minnie-Mickey, Discovery Land (home of The Tree of Life), Africa (animal adventures), Rafiki's Planet Watch, Asia (featuring a fictional village and mountains) and the DinoLand U.S.A.

The Disney Animal Kingdom also contains three table service restaurants for the family's hungry appetite. Guests can choose from the wide range of cuisines from the Rainforest Cafe, Yak and Yeti and the Tusker House.

Other Disney World Resort attractions are the Blizzard Beach, Disney's BoardWalk, Typhoon Lagoon, Disney's Wedding Pavilion, Walt Disney World Speedway (Richard Petty Driving Experience) and Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.

A full day of strolling around the Disney Resort is a very tiring activity. Many hotel chains and restaurants are available around these parks. Comfortable accommodations offer a magical touch to every family who loves an unforgettable and fantastic journey.
