Celebration World Resort really does sucks. I've been a owner since the early days going back to 2000. It sure sounded good at the time but it has been lies after lies. If you are an owner as well then you know what I'm talking about. But they really out did themselves with their latest stunt--their Special Assessment from 2009. Of course I didn't want to pay it but I'm a reasonable guy. I understand they have to make enhancements and improvements to the property but I thought that's what the maintenance fees are for and they aren't cheap. Anyhow, I paid the Special Assessment and finally hoped they could get their act together but boy was I wrong. This weekend I received a letter, "Notice of Rescission of Special Assessment". Okay fine, they had a change of heart for whatever reason and decided not to go through with it. One would think the resort would refund the fees but no. Instead of doing the right thing and refunding your money, they offer you "Additional Use Rights" to the resort. Just what I wanted. So I paid close to $900 to stay in a 2 bedroom for 4 nights at their crummy resort. I'll pass on that. I finally got in contact with someone there today and it turns out they didn't have the authority to do a special assessment because it was still owned by the developer. Of course they wait a year and a half when all fees are paid to tell you this. Bottom line, they refuse to refund the money. What a scam they got going there. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Hi Folks, I was just reading the threads and wondered if you had any joy with getting things sorted? I suffer with a complete lack of communication from Celebration, I still haven't had a reply back as to what the Special Assessment actually is! Natalie in the M&T dept was supposed to let me know what it was in relation to but never come back to me, I also received no 2010 bill with a breakdown and now Concord want over $1000 off me. This bill includes around $400 of late charges and collection charges. Incidentally I've never managed to go back as everytime I've tried to book they've been full. I just feel like I pay the taxes every year but question why I bother (other than it costs so much money to join in the first place). Scott

Celebration World Resort . They will not list the taxes on the amount on the annual budget. Each year the annual budget says real estate taxes N/A see notes. The notes say you will be billed for taxes at a later date. FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE ASKED FOR AN ACCOUNTING. By the way they are adding tax amount into the Hoa fee or so they say my Hoa fees havent been right yet! and telling you that you will get a tax bill later. I fell for this crap last year. I took a stand this year and told them I would not pay until I got a correct accounting. I paid them last year and never got an accounting our a tax bill. I am not sure if I should pay them the correct amount for my HOA . THis is really a battle that is set in there favor I told them I would pay the correct amount and was told that they would not let me use my timkeshare. They reported me to a collection agency Concord. I sent in a dispute letter. I have asked them in the letter and by phone not to contact me. I am getting calls on my cell phone up to 5 a day. The collection agency wants about $800 dollars in collection fees. They say it per contract. I tell them I dont have a copy of this contract to let me see it. I am told I can not have a copy! Celebration World Resort, I called and asked for the accounting of taxes and condo doc by laws of the Owners Association. I was told that I would have to come there to see them.
HOW CAN I GET AN ACCOUNTING OF THE TAXES???? Anybody know of a good Lawyer
