Re: shearton vistana villages exchange power (by Lauren L.):

Don't forget there is one more factor in considering exchange - the timeline. I have a one bedroom unit in a non-popular region, but have traded to go to a two bedroom in Orlando and one bedroom in Smuggler's for two years. You have to deposit early and plan ahead. I deposited as soon as I could and got the units I wanted over a year before the travel date.

Also there is always extra vacation or last minute weeks you can purchase for a reasonable cost compared to staying in a hotel room. Use you homeresort or try to rent it out and buy extra weeks for travel elsewhere.
