Worth it to do a time share tour in return for a inexpensive vacation?

[jimmysgirl424]

DH and I have the opportunity to get a total of 5 nights in Flordia (two in Orlando, three in Daytona) plus 2 two-day Universal Orlando theme park tickets for $79.00. As far as I can tell, we would have to sit through a 90 minute time share presentation. We did a few of these while in Las Vegas and learned very quickly how to say a firm no. Just wondering if anyone knows of any other 'catches' there might be.Does anyone have any bad time share presentation stories??

Oh, for those who want to check out the deal we are being offered, go here:

I used to sell timeshares and I tell everyone that no, they are never worth it. You should know that the timeshare salespeople in Florida are particularly aggressive and make the people in Vegas look like amateurs. One of Florida's main source of tourism is timeshare and they take it seriously down there. My guess is you'll think you're going for 90 minutes but instead you'll be there for closer to three hours. Oh, and you'll probably also be staying at a 2-star hotel.

Thanks!! I'm glad I got some input on it. The timeshare tours that we did were pretty intense in Vegas; one of them we were only supposed to be there for 2 hours and we didn't get back to our hotel for almost 4 and a half hours!! :mad:

that sounds like a good deal, too bad they suck you in for such a long period of time
