I have a friend that has the Disney timeshare. They like it, but only go to disney every couple of years. I guess through it they have gotten some really good deals on cruises as well.

That said, it is expensive and it seems kind of restrictive. I have another friend that has a timeshare through trendwest. With that one they can go to any of the trendwest properties worldwide including ones very near disneyland and disneyworld.

To me that seems like a better deal.

In the end what it boils down to is how much you will use it. If you really use it a lot in the long run you may actually save money, but most of the time you won't. You have to assume when you go even if you use the time share you will buy upgrades and stuff like that so it really isn't a free trip, it is just a little bit cheaper. Essentially what you are paying for is a hotel room and for 18K you can get a lot of nights at different hotel rooms.
