In 2010 with a promise of "wholesale tickets" and other goodies, my wife and I sat through 2 hours of hard core sales talk with 5 different sales persons working on us. I finally demanded to end the procedure and we were ushered to a counter to be able to order our tickets. The only ones available were for 2 days admission with a $5 per day reduction over retail! Enough said.

The grounds were perfect for our kids. We played in the pools a lot, but they were very crowded. The room was very fair, but we paid a low price for it. We were in a one story unit. I would have liked to see the other/newer units! There were restaurants/shops/activities/game rooms right on the grounds.

We planned our spring break vacation, with our 6 year old daughter, at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club. We decided to try Orange Lake and were told our condo had a bedroom, living room, kitchen, balcony and bath. We looked at the unit on their web site, while on the phone with reservations, and booked it. When we got there they put us in a unit that had NO window looking outside (so obviously no balcony) and it was as dark as a cave. We were very specific on the phone. Luckily for us we got on the phone with Hilton Grand vacations, where we had stayed before, and they had a condo available. We lucked out that we were able to get into The Hilton as it was spring break and everything was booked. Orange Lake was full too and had nothing to move us in to.

We are very displeased with Orange Lakes. While it is quite a beautiful landscaped property beware of the sales end. If you visiting and not purchasing you should have a very nice time. If you purchase look on ebay 1st and take a trip to Sams Club for other information. Be wary of high pressure sales people that will entice you and then once you sign the papers your stuck. We would give ours away but no-one wants it. We now stuck with the maintenance costs each year.
