About Holiday Inn Club Vacations
Holiday Inn Club Vacations is the vacation ownership brand of Holiday Inn, with resorts across the U.S. Most owners hold Club Points they can use throughout HICV’s resorts, and Orange Lake is the brand’s largest.
What Buyers Look For in an Orange Lake Ownership
Orange Lake is one of the most recognized resorts on the resale market, so knowing what makes your ownership stand out helps you price it and write a strong ad. Buyers usually look at:
- The Disney factor. Being minutes from Walt Disney World is Orange Lake’s biggest selling point. Make sure your ad says so.
- Your village. Orange Lake is divided into four villages: River Island, West Village, East Village, and North Village. Each has its own pools and amenities, and buyers often have a favorite.
- Points or a week. Orange Lake ownerships come as Club Points or as a deeded week in one of the villages. Let us know which you own so your ad shows the right details.
- Unit size. Villas range from studios with a kitchenette to 3-bedroom villas. Larger villas appeal to families planning Disney trips.
- Season. Weeks that line up with school breaks and holidays tend to draw more Orlando buyers.
Options to Sell Your Orange Lake Timeshare
Orange Lake owners have a few ways to move on from their ownership.
Horizons by Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn Club Vacations offers an in-house program called Horizons for owners who want to exit. The Horizons team reviews your ownership and explains your options, and there’s a processing fee if you qualify. Eligibility can depend on your situation, such as whether you have a mortgage, so contact HICV for the current details.
Gift your timeshare. You can transfer your Orange Lake ownership to a family member or friend. They take on the vacations and the maintenance fees, so make sure they’re ready for both.
Sell on the resale market. You can advertise your Orange Lake timeshare for sale with Timeshares Only. We create a custom ad with your village, unit, and points or week, and put it in front of buyers on our marketplace. Our recommended resale brokerage, Fidelity Real Estate, can handle closing once you accept an offer. See every step in our guide to sell your Holiday Inn Club timeshare.
What if you still have a mortgage? You can still advertise your Orange Lake timeshare. A remaining loan adds steps to the sale, so talk with your lender and a representative about what to expect.
Watch for Resale Scams
Orange Lake owners get their share of scam calls. Be careful with:
- Calls about a buyer you never asked for. Legitimate companies don’t cold-call owners with a buyer already lined up.
- Promises to cancel your contract. Exit companies charge large upfront fees, and many owners pay and still own their timeshare.
- Advice to stop paying maintenance fees. It won’t end your contract and can hurt your credit.

If you still want to vacation but feel you’ve seen Orange Lake enough, trade your ownership through RCI for stays at thousands of other resorts. Or advertise your Orange Lake timeshare for rent to help cover your maintenance fees, even while it’s for sale.
