Disney Vacation Club - What's so Different About the Disney Timeshare Presentation?

Back in 1988 I went on a trip to Disney World with my parents and at some point during our vacation we got roped into going on a timeshare presentation at one of the ubiquitous timeshare resorts in the Orlando area. At the time I barely noticed the hard sell and I was supremely disappointed that my parents didnt see the wonderful potential in timeshares. They decided not to buy and my dreams were smashed.

Well, Im a few years older now and having been through the timeshare presentation ringer several times, I feel like something of a champion. So last year, on a trip to walt Disney World, I elected to go on a tour of one of their properties, Saratoga Springs resort & Spa. On the morning I scheduled my tour, a disney vacation Club guide picked me up at Pop Century resort inside wdw and took me off to Saratoga Springs.

On arrival, I fully expected that I would be missing out on the theme parks for the rest of the morning, but surprisingly this wasnt the case. My DVC guide took me on a tour of the property and then we went back to the office and he outlined the DVC membership options, how the program worked, its costs and the financing options.

After he was done with his presentation, which between the tour and the discussion was less than an hour, he asked me if I was interested in purchasing during my visit. I told him that the Disney vacation Club was certainly something I was interested in, but Id have to think it over and didn't plan on purchasing for several months.

I braced myself for the hard sell and it never came. Instead, he handed me his card, asked me to contact him when I was ready and then gave me some FastPasses and offered me a ride back to the theme park of my choice.

Can you imagine my surprise? If youve ever been on a timeshare presentation yourself you know what Im talking about! There was no, The price is only good today, there was no arm twisting about how I was losing out by not investing now. He didnt insist that I talk with his supervisor to see if we could sort something out. Instead, he gave me some passes that let me go to the front of the line on any ride at Disney World and then took me to animal Kingdom.

Whats wrong with these guys? Dont they know this isnt how you sell a timeshare?

Well, as it turns out, maybe the disney vacation Club folks know exactly what theyre doing. Several months after my trip I received a postcard from Disney reminding me about the opportunity and letting me know that prices were scheduled to increase on the first of the year. So I picked up the phone, called my guide and told him I wanted to buy. Ill be spending my first DVC vacation at boardwalk villas this August and Ill be sure to say hello to Mickey for you!

Why Upgrade Your Car Speaker System?

In the 21st Century, few people remain unaware of the need for seeking the latest upgrade for a personal computer. Yet some people still lack an appreciation of the fact that computers are everywhere. Any car owner who has a car speaker system has a computer inside of that system.

Like the computer programs that control a personal computer, the programs inside of a car speaker system control that device. Those programs are found in the drive. Often an upgrade to the car speaker system provides the car owner with high frequency drivers. That fact represents one of the reasons why one should upgrade a car speaker system.

A full appreciation of the importance of upgrading a car speaker system comes most readily to anyone who understands the role of the transducer. The transducer, i.e. the car speaker in a car audio system, carries out the important energy conversion. The transducer converts the electrical energy in the system wires into the sound energy that the car passengers want to hear.

The conversion of electrical energy into another form of energy requires use of magnets. When a cars transducer contains strong magnets, then that car speaker system will have a powerful car speaker. The strong magnets easily pick-up all of the electrical signals and convert them into a strong and audible sound. When a car owner upgrades the car speaker system, then the car owner can request stronger magnets in the systems transducer.

Now review again the role of the car speaker. The transducer converts the electrical energy into sound energy. Using the speaker cone, the car speaker sends that sound energy out into the air. In other words the speaker produces the sound. In light of the importance of the car speaker system, the car owner should hesitate to question the need for a regular upgrading of that car speaker system.

By the same token no car owner should push for a fast and haphazard upgrade of the car speaker system. The speakers need to be paired with either a receiver or an amplifier. Therefore the individual performing the upgrade must make sure that any new speakers have a power rating that matches with either the receiver or the amplifier.
