By the time you figure out they are trying to sell you Time Share, it's like "DUH" -- we just thought they were being very courteous and trying to show us how to get around the place. When I finally figured it out, I just came right out and told J (can't remember her name) we weren't interested, and we just wanted to go eat. She pressured a little, but I pointed to my kids (who were by then curled up in the big leather chairs, sleeping!) and I said "Thank you, but no. We've had a long day and need to eat and go to our rooms." (thanks, kids!  I didn't even ask them to play possum!)
She said okay, and let us go on our way, but she did ask us to fill out an invitation with her ONLY. They do not get paid, they only make points for every appointment. We declined to make an appointment. When we hit the other lobby (the older one), another lady tried to get us to make an appt with her. We lied and said we had an appt with J from the new lobby, and she said "No, it's okay -- you can come with me right now . . .". Apparently the competition is stiff!
Just be firm, and lie if you have to!

I cant believe they houned you the minute you arrived at the resort and with kids in tow. My friend just got back on Saturday and said they were sneakier than ever.
