When is the best time to visit Florida?

The most popular season to visit Florida is during the summer.  However, we have found that many visitors prefer the milder weather - and shorter lines - in September and early October. Springtime visitors should be aware that "Spring Break" is a popular an extremely busy time for traveling families, and lasts from mid-March to mid-April.  Summer Travel is very limited with these vacation packages, as many timeshare owners will be on property at this time.

How long is the Timeshare Presentation?

The standard Timeshare Sales Presentation runs about 90-120 minutes.  For guests interested in Ownership, the tour may take as long as necessary to address your questions, and complete all appropriate paperwork.  Please do not make plans for early morning activities on the morning of your tour.

I purchased a vacation package online.  What recourse do I have if the dates sell out before I can use it?  What if dates sell out before I get my confirmation?

Please  contact us to check availability before purchase if you are concerned, and we will tell you what is currently available. Be aware that dates within 2 weeks of a holiday DO sell out quickly and unexpectedly. This is why we offer our Full Refund Policy:  If your preferred dates are unavailable, you may choose to either:
     - Accept an alternate resort for which you are qualified and
       for which there is availability
     - Choose to receive a full refund once the resort has stated
       the dates are unavailable
     - Keep your vacation package up to a full year after purchase
       to use later. For more information, contact us.

Is childcare provided during the tour?

Most resorts provide childcare for older children during the presentation.  Those resorts that do not provide separate childcare welcome you to bring your children along during the presentation; they will enjoy the preview of the resort amenities. For more information, contact us.

What happens if I miss the presentation?

Usually, an alternate time can be found so you can preview the timeshare property before check-out.  Keep in mind that if you reschedule after missing the tour, the resort may charge a fee; during holidays, rescheduling may not be possible, as tours may not be available.  If you fail to tour before checkout, you will be required to pay retail price for the rooms.  If there is a conflict, please reschedule before the tour, instead of after.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Cancellation is always an option for our customers.  You may cancel at any time until SEVEN DAYS before your scheduled arrival date to receive a full refund! Or reschedule, and use your vacation at any other time within 12 months of the purchase date.  We allow one free reschedule per customer; all other reschedules may be subject to a $7.95 convenience charge.  Mini Vacation Rental's full cancellation policy can be read here.

Can I give the vacation package as a gift?

These vacation packages are non-transferrable and binding.  Registered guests are obligated to attend the TimeShare Presentation in exchange for the discounts.  All customers need to register and pay for their own package, and will be bound by the terms of the agreement.

When do I receive the tickets advertised in my vacation package?

Many of our vacation packages include free gifts, such as Theme Park Tickets or Dinner Theater Passes.  These free gifts are a compensation for the time you spend on the tour, and are given to you after completing the tour.  For this reason, most tours are scheduled at the beginning of your stay, so you will have plenty of time to use the tickets!

Where can I purchase additional tickets?

Additional tickets and multi-day passes are available at the Resort Guest Centers and online via official licensed distributors.  For information on where to obtain extra passes, please contact us.

Do any of the Resorts and Hotels in these offers accept pets?

Unfortunately, because of the nature of Timeshare Ownership, it is not possible for the resorts to offer "pet friendly" accommodations. If you or a guest have a certified aid animal (ie. "Seeing Eye" dog) that must accompany you, or if you need Pet Boarding information for your stay, please contact us.

We don't meet the requirements on the listing, what alternatives are there?

Our resort partners each have specific terms and qualifications for these offers. Terms and Tour Eligibility vary between resorts. If you do not meet the requirements of the listings you see, please contact us and we will help you determine if you may qualify for an alternative offer through a different resort or savings program.

When can I use my vacation package?

The vacation packages sold by Mini Vacation Rentals on eBay are not for use during any specified "week." Your vacation may be used at any time that there is rental availability within 12 months of purchase.  Please note that during particularly busy times, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and the month of July, travel dates may sell out a full 45 days in advance; please make your plans accordingly.
