Orange Lake was our first tour almost 20 years ago, the week we bought our first timeshare. We have toured four times since and have stayed there several times on RCI exchanges.

It is a HUGE MEGA-RESORT, the hushest and mega-est!!!

That's some folks cup of tea and not others. Reviews are very mixed. Some have a great vacation and some have a horrobile vacation, almost as if they are talking about two different places.

OL gives preferential treatment to owners.

The Family of Orange Lake Resorts is proud to announce the completion of the first phase of a three-phase, multi-million-dollar revitalization of the resort’s premier timeshare village.

In this phase, existing pro shop and restaurant space is being converted into a new multi-use pro shop, retail and express dining facility called The Marketplace. The renovated space includes The Reserve & Crane’s Bend Pro Shop for two of Orange Lake’s championship and executive courses. The Marketplace also houses The General Store, a full-service grocery and convenience one-stop-shop, and Paisan Pizzeria, offering Italian meals for take out, delivery or outdoor dining.

“We are proud of this resort’s history and success,” said Don Harrill, President and CEO for The Family of Orange Lake Resorts. “We pay tribute to that with architecture and design representing classic Florida charm and an unsurpassed offering of new activities, services and facilities for our owners to enjoy and experience with their families.”

In Phase II, the West Village Clubhouse will be redesigned with a Grand Entrance and lobby, featuring a front drive with four lanes under an enlarged porte-cochere. Parking for the entire complex will feature three entrances and parking areas. Beach and pool areas will be enhanced for year-round use, and owners and guests will find an array of new, convenient facilities, like a family fun center, fitness center and kids’ club. Orange Lake’s points-based member exchange program, GlobalAccess™ will have an office on the lobby level.

The revitalization program will be complete in Phase III, by summer 2008, with the new Water’s Edge entertainment, shopping and dining complex, featuring two new restaurants and a poolside bar with themed music and entertainment.

Located next door to Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, Orange Lake Orlando is comprised of four resort villages and spans more than 1,400 acres. By next summer, all three phases of the West Village revitalization will be complete. The other three resort villages include North Village: A Relaxing Oasis; East Village: A Golfer’s Paradise and River Island: A Tropical Island.

The Family of Orange Lake Resorts has evolved from a “best-kept secret” as the world’s largest single-site timeshare resort to a multi-site resort with a growing network. New resort additions in Wisconsin, Vermont and Florida were carefully selected and tailored for their owners and facilitated by a brand new member exchange program, GlobalAccess™. Orange Lake’s flagship location in Orlando was established in 1982 by Holiday Inn® Founder, Kemmons Wilson. The company plans to continue the expansion of their resort network and is actively seeking more growth opportunities to continue being the “home-away-from-home” to more than 110,000 owners from all 50 U.S. states and more than 120 countries.
