What's Near Oak Plantation Resort?
Close-by to Oak Plantation Resort in Kissimmee are plenty of restaurants. Highway 192 offers lots of choices- KFC, Rally's, Outback Steakhouse, Macaroni Grill, and more. There's a huge Walmart Supercenter about a half a mile from the Resort. Not far down the road is a Super Target. Gator Land is also close. A Publix market is down the road, too. If you head down 192 toward Disney World and turn right at 535, you will wind up near Cross Roads, and at the entrance of Walt Disney World. Cross Roads has lots of restaurants. Downtown Disney also offers plenty of food and entertainment.
Timeshare Benefits
Timeshares can be a cool tool for vacationing regularly, but owning one can also force you to vacation regularly, whether you want to or not. Therefore, you must make sure that you can pay your yearly dues. Timeshare dues can go up over time. The dues usually consist of maintenance fees and taxes. Sometimes you may also get a special assessment- like if the whole timeshare resort needs some kind of special construction- in order to help pay for the new construction or repairs. I was once assessed that from the Oak Plantation Resort a few years back when a couple of hurricanes wrought havoc at the resort and all over Florida.
I belong to RCI, and I own 2 weeks at Oak Planation Resort, so I usually bank one week with RCI and use that week to travel to somewhere besides Disney World. I've been to Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Lake Tahoe (three times), to L'Anse St.-Jean (in Quebec, Canada), to Canmore, Canada (near Calgary, Alberta), to Avon, Colorado (where Oprah and Gayle passed through on their famous road trip together), and Anaheim (at a Resort near Disneyland). I even stayed at the Vistana Resort near Walt Disney World. Three years ago I also stayed at a nice Timeshare hotel in New Orleans, which was really close to the French Quarter and was right off Canal Street (I loved this trip- I learned about so much history there!)
I love traveling, and being able to use RCI is the best thing about owning a timeshare, in my opinion.

A Good Way To Visit Walt Disney World Inexpensively
When I first bought this Timeshare at Oak Plantation Resort in Kissimmee, FL, it was great- brand new, in fact. Being built, in fact- the pool wasn't even finished, but it looked like a nice thing. I turned out to be one of the first 25 Owners to buy into this property.
The next year, I went and it was open, and it was beautiful. All the units seemed rented, and the place was teeming with life. It even has a nice lake in the middle. Tennis courts. Basketball courts. A laundry room. A game room. A fitness center.
Years later, they even added a General Store.
The last time I went, I noticed that they had an Internet Cafe (which came in handy, big-time).
