Timeshare experiences near Disney? In Dec?

Question:

We wouldn't normally consider renting a timeshare as we prefer to be on property, but a family member has a banked week they can't use so we thought we might use the opportunity to squeeze some extra time in at WDW this year.

We really don't know much about the timeshare options other than what they tell us on the timeshare web site. Has anyone else rented a non-Disney timeshare? If so, can you recommend any near Disney? Are there any we should steer clear of?

Also, we were thinking of some time after Thanksgiving but before Christmas so we can still see WDW at the holidays. How crowded is this time at the parks? When are the Christmas decorations up? When are they taken down?

Thanks to all for the help!
 

Answer:

The Vistana is a fantastic timeshare - stayed there twice. If you have a large number of people the Embassy is good. Don't bother with Fairfield. We're staying at Orange Lake in Dec and I hear its one of the best. If your family member goes through RCI any Gold Crown usually will do. Email me if you have additional questions - we are old hands at this timeshare thing (although we will be staying at AKL for part of Thanksgiving week - yeah!)
