    my memory says no they are not allowed. Really can't remember anyone even pulling a camera out to be honest.

    haha, forget what day it is? lol
    Pretty sure he was pulling your leg with that one.
    Pictures are possible it is all about timimg and your chosen subject. Example, Donald will be taking a picture of the tub record attempt.

    Soooo I received a referral from someone, we are supposed to go to a different counter to check in...the 90 minute "pitch" wasn't mentioned but after reading the past few comments we will attend so the referrer gets their credit.
    If we don't sign up,for anything do we still get the premier benefits for this trip? Thx

    As long as you are going on a referral you will recieve all the premier perks. The only thing you sign up for is just the sales presentation.

    Yes when you get there you check-in at the premier office, not at the regular front desk. (walk in, make a right, head down the hall) Here they will check you in, set you up with a day and time for your presentation, and they can also help you book the reservation restaurants then.

    I am surprised someone offered you a referral, but didn't explain you had to do the timeshare pitch. Maybe they thought you already knew, idk.

    As newbies, and having read the other forum posts...one would think the designated seating of sorts is worth gold! Uh oh, have I opened up the chair debate? Lol

    All depends...seating can be nice but when all your friends are sitting in "coach" it can be a bit of a downer :( Then again how much time do you spend in your chair, lol. The reserved chair debate is an entirely different beast ;) Can be even more contentious when members "reserve" around the pool and don't show up til 2 or later in the afternoon. Think I just opened Pandora's box...

    When we travel with friends who are non members we reserve our chairs on the deck directly behind them. That way we are not taking up limited "Gucci" seating on the pool deck. All of of us are early risers, grab our chairs, do breakfast at 8 and are out at the pool around 9. We actually do use our chairs a lot...like the sun and all but in moderation...and I (Scott) get the water logged wrinkle up thing pretty quick if I spend too much time in the pool at one time. I am like freaking yo-yo getting in and out of the pool, lol.

    As far as this thread goes...I believe there is more value in a membership these days. As Donald said travel site prices are not necessarily the best price any more and once you factor in the perks it may make sense for some to go on a referral or even buy a membership. One last thing...the sales people (some anyways) can be WAY TOO pushy, rude and some outright lie (personal experience on our last trip...and I completely lost my shit).
