Lots of amenities to keep the kids busy for a week without having to ‘do’ the theme parks. We spent one full day and one additional evening outside of the resort and we were go go go for the entire week with children aged 12 and 8 years old.

Activities were a great selection, appropriate to all age groups, but adding another hour or two would allow more participants to engage.

We are owners at Holiday Inn and vacationed at Orange Lake over Memorial Day. The weather that week was very stormy so many times they closed the pool and attractions. This is beyond their control and expected. Because of the weather there were many changes that had to be made from flights, car travel, ect. As owners we requested that we be allowed to stay in one of our two villas for an extra TWO hours on checkout day to allow for everyone to make their travel arrangements . We were told by Customer Service that this was NOT possible and that we would be charged for an extra day!!!!!! As usual a Timeshare property cares nothing about the owners and it is all about MONEy. Stay away from this property as their customer service is non-existent. Robert Bergquist Read less
