I started purchasing this package about 5 years ago - thinking it sounded like a good one I had taken before. But what a mistake. Right away I had to pay 698.00 and then I had to keep paying $100.00s later to keep it active. I was originally told our entire family could go, etc. Etc. And, I don't believe I was ever told this was a timeshare selling scam.
When we finally decided to use this (after several disasters in the family delayed us), we were told we had to purchase a second package as could only have 4 in one room. Before, I was just old it would be like $98.00 additional per adult but not the case.By then I had so much into it. I decided to continue with it but knew it was getting from bad to worse. We ended up paying much more on this trip then if we would have stayed in a top class Disney resort in the park. I told them right from the start, we only wanted the entire time at Orlando, and never Ft. Lauderdale or a cruise but every time they kep trying to go back to that or we had to pay more to change.
Then with the gas prices, we decided to fly from KC which is several hours away and then maybe rent a car or take a shuttle. They kept saying there was shuttle there and also walking distance - which is definitely not true. Shuttle goes like once a day at a inconvenient time and usually full already.
We checked on renting a car with them and Alamo and was given since we had 2 packages - which we should have got 2 - it would be better to upgrade to a mini van for about $200 total. They said the child seat was free which it was not and we could have brought our own or bought one for the over $50.00 we paid for that for the week. And, the rental ended up costing us 598.00, I believe it was — after their so called discounts. I had a van rented earlier for much less than that but gave it up when they said it would be $200.00.
Then of course, you pay for taxes, gratitity if you can even get back to eat the same old buffet every day. And, pay for taxes, fees, safe which we told them we did not use, and even a charity donation for each day — I'm sure no charity gets that but maybe the owner. I will probably never use the Williamsburg and Las Vegas trips either that are left as would cost more like this one and probably already expired also and have to extend for another 190 or something. I ended up paying $6-8,000 for this trip from HELL.
