I thought it would make more sense to look for special package deals, stay in the sports place, Fort Wilderness, or perhaps the CB Resort. Before purchasing, we needed to convince ourselves that it wasn't a totally dumb move financially. Our goal was to determine how much we were really paying for the vacation club, over the 45 years of the lease, in 1997 dollars.
All percentages used in our calculations are only best guesses.
YMMV and caveat exemptor. This posting is not being made for the purpose of soliciting an interest in real property. We paid in cash, which makes this part easier. BUT, that's in 2042 dollars, not 1997 dollars. I want to base everything on 1997 dollars, so I need to adjust for inflation between now and then.
