Why Magic Tree Resort
still thrives
By George Leposky, editor
A well-run legacy timeshare resort need not falter, fl ounder, and ultimately fail—but what qualities keep an aging
resort rejuvenated and robust?
Magic Tree Resort in Kissimmee, FL, illustrates one recipe for enduring success. Its ingredients include a prime
location, a devoted cadre of long-time owners, an engaged and fi scally responsible board of directors, and an effi cient
and welcoming staff.
Also, the size is right. With 62 one-bedroom units and 30 two-bedroom units, the resort has 4,692 unit-weeks in a
51-week year (with the 52nd week reserved for maintenance), and about 3,500 individual owners.
