Plan your budget. Decide how much you are willing to spend on your time share resort rental before you seek to make reservations. Research prices for resorts that you would be interested in. Take the time of year into account as holidays and summers are prime time for tourists in the Orlando area because of the variety of attractions. When selecting a time share take into account the time share location versus the attractions that you are interested in visiting. You most likely won't want to rent a time share at a resort that is more than 30-40 miles from your desired destinations.
Research benefits between the resorts that you are considering. Some resorts will allow you to trade time share weeks while others are more strict. Many resorts have also started a point system which allows you to turn in your time share week for airline miles, hotels, or other travel packages that are offered through the same or partner company. Some resorts allow you to build up points over time and save them from year to year so that you can cash in on an even better vacation in the future at a sister resort. Before booking your resort time share, ask about cancellation and week exchange policies. Orlando offers a wide variety of time share resorts so don't be afraid to shop around.
Contact a travel agent or reserve online. If you haven't rented a time share before, it's wise to consult a travel agent as he will be familiar with resort policies and practices. A travel agent may also be able to help you get the time share weeks that you desire whereas online reservations might pose restrictions or limitations. Make sure to inquire about travel packages as certain resorts may offer deals that can be added to your time share fee which can lessen that value of your vacation.
