Have you ever gone to one of those timeshare sales pitches to get a discounted vacation package at a resort?

Q. I am going to Orlando and am considering staying at Wyndham where I would get a severley discounted room and free sea world tickets. However, the ad states that I will need to attend a 90 sales pitch on timeshares. There's no way I would ever buy one, but I wonder if there is something more i should be leery of. Has you ever taken one of these deals, and what was your experience.

A. Yeah I have, it's worth it if you're broke! The only thing is, you have to stay for the ENTIRE 90 minute presentation. At the end of the pitch, you shouldn't say no, just say you have to discuss it, you don't make you're decisions over night and have to think about it. Otherwise, they are pissed that you used them for the vacation, and the vibe quickly turns crappy. (trust me on that one.) On you're tour, don't show how much you think the place is gorgeous, if they think you love it they will lay the sales pitch harder. Other than that, the deals are great, I had a great time. I did this in Daytona. If you're staying long enough and have the time, go to some other timeshares and take their tour (30-60min presentations) and get tickets to other Orlando attractions OR save those places for you're next vacation ( you can't hit them up twice). Oh, I almost forgot, you have to tell them you make at least 50 grand a year (they can't and don't check). You can do this in other Florida vacation spots as well as in Vagus, Hawaii, and a bunch of other places I can't remember off the top of my head. I haven't experienced or heard of any "catch". Have fun!

EXCUSE YOU GLENN B! If you truly believe in karma, it's going to bite you in you're azz for making such an ignorant comment about us! Get over it jerkoff.

Is there any way to get discounted room rates at any of the Disneyland Park Hotels (California)?

Q. We are hoping to stay at the Grand Californian and were wondering how to get discounted room rates through websites, travel agencies, etc. Has anyone been able to do this?

A. I can't believe no one said this. Annual Passholders are FREQUENTLY (like every 2-3 months) offered discounted rates for all the Disneyland Resort hotels, including the Grand Californian. Granted, you might still be looking at $400 a night, but it could be less than what is offered to the general public during that time period.

You can buy Annual Passes online, and once you have your pass number you can put it into the Disneyland website and see the current offers. Only one person in your party has to have the pass, and that would be the person booking the room. Another benefit of having the pass is that you get good discounts in the park for merchandise and/or dining (depending on which one you get.) Even if this is your ONLY trip to DLR ever saving hundreds of dollars on your hotel reservation and saving at least a hundred on food/merch in the park is well worth buying the pass.
