1. On-site Timeshare Presentation: Generally speaking you can get a “Buy One Get One Free” package if you are willing to invest a few hours in an elaborate tour and high-pressure presentation.  Genuinely you should have some type of interest in the package, but maybe you are looking into some options and should explore availability on the re-sale market as well. 

2. Buy your tickets ahead of time from one the online Ticket resellers, or look into an existing Disney Timeshare from a re-sale company such as Buyatimeshare.com and see if any Disney owners have ticket packages they want to get rid of as part of renting their timeshare. There are two advantages of buying the tickets ahead of time; tickets online or from an existing owner are generally cheaper than buying at the gate. Second and critical to time is the notion that you will avoid the giant lines associated with the ticket gate.

3. If you are a member of one of the auto or travel clubs, then you may be eligible for tickets through the affiliation.

4. Disney generally has promotions for Florida Residents and the savings are substantiating; check the Disney world website for details on current promotions.

5. Celebrate your Birthday for Free at a Disney Park. If you are visiting Disney, plan to visit around your child’s’ Birthday…in most cases children with Birthdays on the day of visit can get free admission for that day. You will get a special badge that Identifies your child as a Birthday kid and your child will get special treatment from Disney staff and other free merchandises. Plan ahead, and carry proper photo identification along.

Note: Please be sure to have proof of date-of-birth

Jim Lewis, president of Disney’s time-share component, said Hawaii makes “perfect sense” with its rich culture, traditions, warm greetings, family values, friendships and storytelling.  The Walt Disney Co. recently gave a peek of its sprawling, beachside Hawaiian resort that is under construction and scheduled to open next year.

“Aulani” is Disney’s first major standalone resort away from a theme park and could serve as a model for future projects as the company diversifies and expands its vacation offerings.  Aulani will have 359 hotel rooms, 481 time-share units, restaurants, a convention center, a 15,000-square-foot spa and massive water play area that includes a volcano tube slide and snorkel lagoon.  The largest units at Aulani are 3-bedroom “Grand Villas” — 2,300-square-foot timeshare units that are larger than most Hawaii homes, sleep 12 and have sweeping views of the Pacific.

The resort sits on 21 acres on Oahu’s Leeward Coast in the Ko Olina development, known for its white sand lagoons, scenic golf course and colorful sunsets. Ko Olina is about an hour west of Waikiki, where most of the hotels and tourists happen to be.

Currently the resort is a jungle of concrete, steel, wires and pipes with no Mickey and Minnie in sight. Aulani is scheduled to open Aug. 29, 2011, with hotel reservations to begin in September 2010 with Timeshare sales having started in late July!!!

David Uchiyama, of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, said Disney’s arrival is a “validator” of the Aloha state as a family destination.  “”Others” usually lay out a structure, put pictures up and put a canoe here. These guys went way beyond that…the extent that they took to connect with the host culture should be commended.”

On August 2nd, guests will be able to begin booking reservations for one of Disney’s 360 hotel rooms or 481 two-bedroom at Disney Vacation Club villas on the island’s west side; arrivals will commence on August 29, 2011.

The resort, which has been under construction on 21 acres of beachfront property for the past year, will also feature an 18,000 square foot spa, a wedding lawn, a convention center, and two restaurants.  Disney plans to market this resort located, at Ko Olina on the almost always sunny west side of Oahu, toward luxury oriented family vacationers.

Disney’s newest Hawaii vacation resort will include almost 50,000 square feet of outdoor features and will include snorkeling lagoons, waterfalls, fishponds, sunset-facing hot tubs, water slides, and more.

DVC Scam Alert!!!

The Disney Vacation Club timeshare division in Orlando, Florida has issued a warning to all DVC owners for scammers that pose to be part of the company.  The scam is an attempt to pry personal information from DVC timeshare owners.  Customers are advised not to share any personal or financial information to these scammers.  Disney Vacation Club has specifically identified letters to clients which offered customers a Travel Passport Cash Giveaway. The company said that this is a fake offer; in addition, DVC also told customers that they may receive unsolicited calls from scammers who claim that they are part of DVC and may attempt to solicit personal information; and that anyone receiving the letter or phone calls should report the activity to either their State Attorney General or the Federal Trade Commission.

Disney Vacation Club timeshare is a unique kind of flexible vacation ownership that is currently owned by over 100,000 families. Created in 1991, the club features eight Disney Resorts, as well as over 500 resorts available through the Member Getaways Program. Although the Disney Vacation Club was originally geared towards families visiting Walt Disney World annually, it has expanded to include many different types of destinations worldwide!
