I'm back from vacation! Maria, sorry to hear about your injury -at least you can nurse it at home.
We had a great time in Orlando and the resort was everything we expected. Celebrity Resorts was located about 20 minutes from Disney and Seaworld and the room was beautiful -just like the internet pictures. At first they put us in a mini suite which didn't have the full kitchen but when I showed them I had booked a one bedroom they happily changed us. Then we had a king bed and a queen pullout for the kids. The bedroom was separated and we had a huge jacuzzi tub and 2 T.V.'s A full kitchen and a washer and dryer so we were able to buy our groceries and eat most of our meals in our room so that saved us a ton.
The rate was through our Level 2 condo certificate which comes with the package and was $189 a person and $49 each for kids so $486 total for 7 nights. I thought they would charge us taxes and other things at the hotel but I only paid $7.56 for the safe and $40 for the internet for the week.
The rate that Celebrity quoted on their site was $605 (tax included). Although it is not a great savings as some of the locations I truly believe that I would not have found it if I hadn't been with Coastal as there are literally hundreds of resorts in Orlando and I had no idea how to choose one.
Not one time were we asked to participate in a timeshare presentation. They had children's supervised activities (which we didn't need) and my girls loved the pool. Other than the heat it was a wonderful holiday.
Unfortunately although we stayed at other hotels around the U.S. for 5 nights we were unable to book ahead as we just drove until we couldnt' go anymore and then stopped. Next time I will definitely book ahead using one of my discount cards.
Well have to get back in the groove of things with Coastal and my daycare -I'll have to read the new posts another night when I have more energy.
To everyone's success.
Judy

Yes, it is a grat resort. We stayed there for a week back in September. It was just as we say......The resorts have times when they have low vacancy. We checked in and it was very busy, but after the weekend....it was a ghost town.
Beautiful resort, great ameneties...and we got it through one of our membership cards.

Hey Jay or anyone in the "know" all of a sudden there is a new kid on the block marketing scam ...I mean scheme 
it appears that there is sonething called reverse funnel system where you get to pay $50 to find out what the system really is all about and than you find out after you pay your $50 that it will cost you $300 a month to stay in and use the system, one person on another forum was so befuddled trying to use they system and no one would help him.
That doesn't sound like it should be legal.
Anyone else heard about it?
Any comments?
Also the new kid on the block is nothing more than phone interviewed leads from what I can gather.
Anyone??
Terri
