Orlando July 2007 request?

Mark,
Hi & Happy New Year.

I deposited & put in an exchange request with SFX last April for various resorts in Orlando for the week commencing the 14th July 07. My other accomodation/flights were already booked so no flexibilty with the date unfortunately.

I'm just wondering from your experience, am I likely to be successful with my request baring in mind I have no flexibility with the date?
Also, what kind of timescale should I expect to wait for an exchange before I start looking into other accomodation options.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Julie

Julie - thank you for your post. If you would be kind enough to pm me your full name, I can take a look at your account information.

Although Summer time Orlando is peak peak demand for Orlando, the good news is there are a number of resorts in that region. Also, many people pay their maintenance fees during the months of December and January, which means a greater amount of weeks being deposited as the dues get paid. As for a time-line, unfortunately we cannot predict that, as there are too many variables that affect the supply of space. The biggest one being, exchange companies never know when or if owners are going to deposit their time.

However, I would be optimisitic on this one. But please pm me your account information and maybe I can be more specific.
