I remember going to a presentation trying to sell timeshares back in the 90s. I was on vacation with my parents in Orlando Florida. If we went to an hour long presentation selling us time shares we would be given tickets to Disney world for 3 days and up to 4 people per party.

I have no idea how they afforded to do that, I know we didn't buy one and I just read a book(i think I was about 10) while waiting to go to Disney world. We did get the tickets and Disney world was enjoyable.
