I spent weeks 47 & 48 (checking-in October 22,
2003) at the Vacation Villas At Fanatasy World
in
Kissimmee, FL.. NOTE.. this resort (VVF by
Interval International's coding) has recently
split from
VVT which is Vacation Villas At Fantasy World
II.. the two resorts are independently
managed
and VERY dissimilar..
All VVF units are the same configuration,
2-bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, full kitchen,
washer &
dryer, screened porch/lenai, 2-levels... the
newer VVT resort is composed of high rise
2-bedroom, lock-out apartments... the VVF
resort
includes 3 outdoor swimming pools (the main
pool
is heated and includes a large whirlpool),
lighted tennis courts, basketball, and children's
playground.. the resort is near the intersection
of Florida State Routes 535 & 192.. this is a
busy area with grocery stores, popular
franchise
restaurants, bus transportation, etc. and
about 3
miles from Walt Disney World (a free shuttle
service is available to the WDW park)..
although
close to this activity, it is secluded by foliage
and quiet...
The resort staff is competent and friendly.. the
resort is sold-out.. a morning coffee is hosted
to update the owners on the recent change of
management companies (this is NOT a
disguised
sales presentation).. an in-house sales
representative, however, is available to rent
and
sell units offered by the individual owners.. a
free hot dog/hamburger lunch is provided
during
the week to meet and greet
members/exchangers...
The resort is currently engaged in a multi-year
refurbishing project which is monitored by an
active/involved vacation owners' association
(VOA) board of directors.. the county is
beginning
the construction of a new convention center
near-by which is scheduled for operation in
March
2006 and is hoped to be as successful as the
Orlando Convention Center.. my personal
speculation is that this could significantly
enhance the value of currently modestly priced
VVF timeshare units.. Joe Tragesser..
