When you have kids who are old enough to identify Mickey and Minnie, you probably are asked on a regular basis when you are going to take them to Disneyworld in Florida. Orlando is a great place for a family vacation, and a lot of of the property in and around Orlando are time share apartments and rooms. If you are thinking about buying an Orlando time share, follow these tips to get the best deal possible.

• Check the season. Remember your children's schedules, so don't buy an Orlando time share in October when they won't have any vacation from school.
• While you are thinking about the season, remember that Orlando is very hot in the summer. You can find great deals during this miserable weather, but you have to be prepared. If you don't like hot, humid days, and muggy nights, come during the winter months.
• It's all about location. Some Orlando time shares are really close to the parks, so that you wouldn't even need to rent a car to get around. This can save a lot of money on both parking at the parks and gas.
• Be clear about the maintenance fees. These fees are usually the most expensive (and hated) part of time shares. Orlando time share properties are usually one of the more expensive maintenance fees, because they are usually used by families and tend to be larger.
• Realistically calculate how much time you want to spend in Florida. Do you actually want to buy an Orlando time share, or do you want to take your children other places as well? Make sure that you don't accidentally get yourself stuck at Disney for the rest of your life during the same week of each year, by buying a time share.

Orlando time share properties are really popular, and every year they are seen as the inexpensive alternative to hotels. The reality is that no parent wants to spend every year in the happiest place on earth.
