The greater Orlando area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Of course, the presence of the Walt Disney World Resort is a big part of that popularity, but there are plenty of other attractions and activities in the area, as well. If you have traveled to Orlando regularly and loved your experiences, you may have come across Blue Tree Resort and decided to become an owner to have your own place to stay on future trips.

Being part of Blue Tree Resort as an owner might prove to be something that sounds better than it is in the end. Owners not only have some rights – like the ability to stay at the resort for a certain number of nights per year – but there are also responsibilities such as paying maintenance fees and assessments. For many people, the responsibilities start to outweigh the rights quite quickly, and they want to get out. If that situation sounds familiar, read on.

What is Blue Tree Resort?

This property at Lake Buena Vista in the Orlando area is officially part of the Good Neighbor Hotels program with Walk Disney World Resort. For those who want to experience all that Walt Disney World has to offer but don’t want to stay directly on the property, one of these Good Neighbor hotels is a great alternative.

Not only is the fun of Disney close by, but there are also many things to do without leaving Blue Tree Resort at all. Those activities include swimming in the beautiful pool, playing some miniature golf, heading to the game room, or working out in the fitness center. It’s not hard to see the appeal of this place and understand why so many people have visited this property throughout the years.

With that said, it might not work out for you to remain an owner over the long run. The costs of timeshare ownership tend to rise over time, and if you don’t travel as often as you would like – or can’t get the prime dates on the calendar – you might grow weary of the ownership experience. Fortunately, with some patience and a good plan, it might be possible to get out of your contract and move on with life in the near future.

Knowing the Law in Florida

For those who have only recently purchased a Blue Tree timeshare, there is good news – the state of Florida has one of the most generous rescission periods in the country, so you still might have time to get out without losing any money. In Florida, the rescission period is 10 days, meaning you have 10 days after signing the contract to purchase your timeshare to reverse that decision and cancel the deal.

It’s often the case that people start to see things a little more clearly after they get out of the sales office and realize that buying a timeshare isn’t such a great deal after all. If those feelings have come over you in the few days since you agreed to make a purchase, you certainly don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to escape. Things will get much trickier – and likely, more expensive – after the 10 days have passed and you can no longer cancel without penalties or other issues.

Does Someone Want to Buy Your Timeshare?

When you think about trying to sell a timeshare, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, you want to be selling something attractive – and on that point, you are in good shape. Simply telling potential buyers that the property is close to Walt Disney World will go a long way toward getting them interested in what you are selling. If someone wants to have access to the park and a comfortable, enjoyable place to stay, they might want to think about purchasing your Blue Tree timeshare.

So, what’s the other thing you should know about timeshares on the resale market? They are largely worthless. That’s the harsh truth for countless timeshare owners who have tried to sell their deeds and get a decent return on the “investment” they made. In reality, timeshares aren’t an investment, and you shouldn’t expect to get anything back on the money you spent.

With an attractive property in a market that doesn’t really value timeshares, where does that leave you? Somewhere in the middle. It’s not impossible to sell your timeshare to get out of the contract, but there is no guarantee that you’ll find anyone who is interested, and they probably won’t offer you much if they are. Feel free to try to sell as a way to escape, and it might work out, but be patient and know that you might need to take another path.

Getting Help from Blue Tree to Exit Cleanly

Even a resort like Blue Tree which is located in a desirable place is going to have plenty of owners who would like to cancel. In the face of growing unhappiness with many timeshare properties, it’s common for resorts to have programs in place that will allow owners to cancel and leave relatively quickly and without any additional cost. If Blue Tree is willing to offer you such a deal on the way out, you would be wise to strongly consider it. As mentioned above, it’s tough to sell a timeshare for much anyway, so getting out for free and just giving it back might be as good as you are going to do.

Don’t expect Blue Tree to send you an email or a flyer in the mail promoting the option to give back your deed. This isn’t something they are going to promote, as they’ll generally want to keep owners around for as long as possible so they keep paying maintenance fees and assessments. Just because they don’t promote it doesn’t mean it’s not available, however, so reach out to Blue Tree consistently and keep asking about this option.

Stick With It Until the Job is Done

One of the reasons that so many people just wind up stuck in timeshares with no plan to get out is that they give up after only a short time. Perhaps they tried one or two tactics and then just got frustrated and decided it wasn’t worth it to keep going. That’s a shame, but it’s the reality of the situation for plenty of people. You can do better. If you are determined to live a timeshare-free life as soon as possible, it’s important that you stay committed to the process to see it out.

Frustration and anger are common emotions in this situation but they aren’t going to do you much good. Instead, you’ll want to remain as calm and relaxed as you can be, taking it one step at a time and always remaining focused on your goal. If you do find yourself in a situation where you have an opportunity to get out of the contract, keep all documentation related to that opportunity so you have it to point to later. There are bound to be twists and turns along the way but the only thing that matters is reaching a point where you are no longer responsible for the timeshare and can move on with a clear mind and excitement for the future.

Who is Fighting for You?

Working on getting out of a timeshare contract can feel like a full-time job. The problem is that you likely have one of those already, in addition to plenty of other obligations in your daily life. Working on this timeshare problem might be draining whatever free time you did have available and the whole thing could quickly wear you out. When that happens, or when you run out of ideas on your own and need an outside party to take a fresh look at the situation and find a solution, a timeshare exit company would be the right call.

Good timeshare exit companies have served many previous clients and helped them get away from their timeshares quickly. The money you have to invest in this service is likely to be well worth it if you are able to end the contract and stop making payments on your account. Try to find a good exit company that uses an escrow service to protect your money while the work is underway so you don’t have to hand over all of the payment right from the start.
