If you agree that when on vacation your pets require the same quality accommodations as we do, you will be happy to know that there are dozens of resorts available. You do not have to rely on friends and family or a kennel service to care of your furry companions. BuyATimeshare.com has dozens of pet friendly timeshare resorts in inventory. Included is a list: arranged by exchange companies Interval International (II) and Resort Condominiums International (RCI).

As an important part of our family, pet friendly resorts are becoming popular throughout the world. Often a necessity among today’s mobile population, BuyATimeshare.com can find the pet friendly vacation to suite a large family or an intimate getaway. The needs of a pet vary and there are some details to consider when planning your next vacation:

Make sure there is enough room for pets to play at the destination. A dog needs room to roam, walk, and… vacation. Nearby trails or mountains, fields and ponds are all great for dogs. Urban settings may be more suited for cats and small dogs as the bustle of a city may be too much for some dogs.

If your pet has a medical condition, they may need extra consideration. Vacationing far from home may not be the best choice for pets with illness, or limited. Always contact the resort to inquire about any breed or weight restrictions when planning a vacation.

When traveling abroad, it is important to plan well-ahead of time. If vacationing in another country, be sure to contact both the airline and the resort to learn all about their pet regulations. Some airlines allow pets as carry-on, it is important to research all guidelines before booking.

Well-socialized dogs that enjoy meeting new friends and exploring new environments will typically like a vacation away. An aggressive or nervous temperament may not be best to travel. Sometimes traveling is not the best way for your pet to vacation. Before making reservation, determine the resort’s rules about pets.

Establish communication with the resort and understand what “Pet Friendly” means to them. Often times the pets are welcome in the suites, sometimes it means there is simply onsite kennel service. Expect a “pet deposit” to cover any potential damages to the resort. Remember that Pet Friendly is for your convenience and is not for everyone; make sure it is not too much for your pet to travel.

Posted by ivkr in : Disney, General, News & Events, Travel , add a comment

While many timeshare developers are stopping progress on new construction projects, Disney Vacation Club is expanding to better accommodate their clients in the United States. DVC has had many properties near to Disneyworld in Florida, however DVC timeshare owners wishing to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, California have been ignored, until now! At the end of September, DVC opened the doors of the new Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa!

The timeshare units feature 50 well-appointed villas ranging from studios to two story three bedroom grand villas accommodating up to twelve travelers. With little extras like flat panel televisions and rich oak furnishings, these units are sure to meet and exceed the Disney standard. Resort amenities include the Mandara Spa, a fitness center, the Napa Rose Lounge with California wines and a tiled fireplace, the Hearthstone Lounge bar filled with stained glass pieces, three themed swimming pools, Pinocchio’s Workshop for children, an arcade, barbeque grills and picnic areas, golf and tennis, and a vast array of guest activities.

This new development is part of Disney Vacation Club’s latest expansion targeting West Coast clients. Currently, about 86 percent of the 400,000 plus DVC members live east of the Mississippi River, but the new Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa is the first push to expand the clientele. Additionally, DVC is building a 830 room resort in Hawaii, scheduled to open in 2011, with 480 of the rooms scheduled as timeshare units.

Remember, by buying resale you can save thousands over resort pricing. Check out the Disney Vacation Club resale units on BuyATimeshare.com here!

More Defaulted Timeshare Loans Paid by Disney August 11, 2009

Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Disney, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel , add a comment

Buying back more than $280 million in outstanding loans, Disney has been able to preserve a credit agreement between its timeshare sector and Citigroup.

Citigroup, which own over $400 million of vacation club loans, stopped purchasing mortgages from Disney in December of 2008 in reaction to the tightening credit market conditions and the looming recession. The Original deal between Citigroup and Disney mandated the developer to cover 18% of losses if buyers default on loans that were already sold to Disney. This year’s negotiations upped the ante to 70%.

And while these high-stakes negotiations are necessary to keep many timeshares going; these risks are not necessary to maintain the timeshare resale market. With for-sale-by-owner advertising, there is no sales staff to persuade buyers, since the consumer is already looking to buy. With no hidden fees or commission, our state of the art advertising brings buyers and renters together.

Are you looking sell an inexpensive Disney getaway? BuyATimeshare.com, with its unbeatable timeshare resale market, will expose your property to millions of folks looking for just that.

Ritz Carlton Moves to Points June 9, 2009

Posted by Jason Dobbins in : Disney, General, New Features, Ritz Carlton, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource , add a comment

Ritz Carlton Hotel Co. added a destination club option on April 28th. Instead of locking investors into a specific destination they are allowing investors to purchase points packages which allow them to own interest in several vacation properties. This will allow and investor in the Ritz Carlton point package to travel to all Ritz’s properties worldwide.

The cost of these packages will cost from the low $100,000 to $800,000. This strategy is similar to one used by the less pricey Disney Vacation Club. Investors in both programs are able to use points like a currency which allows them to buy their vacation time.

In past Ritz Carlton owners would own a specific resort and should attract more people who don’t want to be an owner of a single resort. “Points give you much more flexibility.” said David Short, Ritz-Carlton Destination Club’s regional vice president of sales. “They allow people to customize each trip to their own needs.”

Holiday Inn’s first timeshare resort is now available to guests for rental and timeshare ownership—even in today’s rough economic landscape. Most companies are shuffling about, cutting limbs just to stay afloat; while InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) announced this week after months of preparation, the official unveiling of Holiday Inn Club Vacations. Its first location at Orange Lake Resort in Orlando, Florida, is now accepting bids for timeshare ownership.

Current owners may find a bit extra during their next visit to Orange Lake Resort. Though numerous brands have been struggling, companies like Hyatt, Hilton, and Four Season are moving toward the timeshare concept for the added benefit they receive from maximizing mixed-use properties. Howard Nusbaum, President of ARDA explains “bringing more people to the property, whether they are hotel guests, timeshare owners or conference attendees will increases use of revenue generating facilities such as restaurants, spas and golf courses.”

Orange Lake Resorts has evolved from a “best-kept secret” as the world’s largest single-site timeshare resort to a multi-site network of over 2,400 villas. Their strategic marketing alliance with IHG provides members access to Holiday Inn Club Vacations resorts in Wisconsin, Vermont and Florida and IHG’s network of more than 4,000 resorts worldwide. “We’re inviting our club members to open their eyes to a while new way of vacationing” said Don Harrill, president and CEO of Orange Lake Resorts. “Club membership allows our owners to be at the right place at the right times—with flexibility unmatched in the timeshare industry.”

The 1,400-acre golf, water park and sports resort is adorned with an 80-acre lake for water sports. Directly next to Walt Disney World Resort, Orange Lake has proven to be one of the top leisure destinations in Florida. In a continuing effort to provide a superior vacationing experience, Orange Lake Resorts will develop and sell timeshare intervals of Holiday Inn Club Vacations under a license agreement from IHG. Owners too will gain access to RCI’s network of over 4,000 resorts.
