Special Assessments in Orlando? (by Mack F.):

My family has just purchased a timeshare unit in Orlando. I advised my parents that we ought to purchase somewhere further inland, but they wanted maximum RCI points.

To other Orlando owners out there: Does your resort ever get damaged by hurricanes? When it does, do you have to pay extra maintenance fees?

What happens if an entire resort (or the state of Florida itself) gets demolished or sinks under water? Are owners freed from their contracts? Do they get a cut of the insurance settlement?

Thanks! MF
