Hi Karen, I don't mean to argue with you, but I will share with you my experience. When I bought my first time share from the developer (Westgate) in 2001, my contract specifically stated a floating wek in the value season. In 2002, when I realized the disadvantages to owning a "value" season week, I upgraded (cost 5K) my four bedroom timeshare with the developer to a week 15 fixed week, which is one of the "event" weeks. I can now trade into any week without having to pay an upgrade fee. You will notice that on most resale timeshare sites, there is not much inventory for weeks 6,7,14,15, 26, 51 and 52 available at Westgate Orlando properties. If they are available, there is almost always a higher asking price than you will find for other weeks in the same resort. Greg
