Re: Marriott Vacation Club "Destinations" - What I Like and What I've Done (by Jean F.):
Why wouldn't you exchange with Interval for your two weeks in Orlando. We have chosen to stay at Cypress Harbour and we are in our late 50's. We love the area... you don't have to have kids to go to Cypress Harbour. We go to Tampa easily or visit friends in nearby towns, and can head to Daytona or Cape Kennedy for a day. But, seriously, my husband and I own 4 MVCI properties (Aruba, Vegas, and two in Myrtle Beach silver and bronze ... did you hear that ...bronze) and we usually use Aruba and the silver week in Myrtle Beach, but the other two we generally trade off with Interval. We get fabulous weeks with that little bronze week! It's amazing! 2BR units (two different stays) in Sedona, 2BR unit in Dominican Republic, 2BR unit in Palm Beach in December.
Don't think your only option is to trade them into Destination Points. You can if you want to, of course, but you just might do better trading week for week through Interval. We would only get 575 DP's for that bronze week, but do just fine getting MVCI properties or 5-star properties through Interval.
Good luck! Happy travels!
