Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort to reopen in coming weeks

"It happened so quick," said Mark Waltrip, chief operating officer of Orlando-based Westgate Resorts.

Waltrip, who traveled to Gatlinburg to assess the property's damage, said 69 of about 90 resort buildings were lost to the blaze, which tore through the Great Smoky Mountains and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and tourists.

In total, 800 units were destroyed.

69 out of 90 is not a total loss, but perhaps a good start. The seagull top echelon must be busy trying to figure out how much of a special assessment they can make.

I just saw on one of the lin ks that Seagal said they are coming too the area with c checks ( will cover paychecks thru xmas } bringing WALMART gift cards . Several employees will relocate to other Westgates, some will stay and help rebuild.
They may be a nasty ts b ut he is taking care of his employees. I wonder how maNY other businesses can say that.

It looks like they're not wasting any time dealing with it. Posted on another forum yesterday:

"We have been in a battle for almost two years over our timeshare at, Westgate Smoky Mountains, which is now all but burnt down. We bought in 2013, odd year and have yet to be able to book our week for the two bedroom unit. We finally did for next year, July 4th weekend after doing everything except beat the crap out of someone or cuss them straight down. But now that week is not going to happen. And they are offering at no fee to transfer our week, oh how gracious of them. I didn't buy somewhere else. OK sorry for all the nonsense but do you know how the the collection came off of your credit report?"
