We've been owners at Orange Lake in various villages since 1996, and can
answer any questions you might have.
Posting is for a Roomy River Island 3-Bedroom Forest View unit.
Availability is fairly tight less than 9 months out, particularly during
the spring and Holiday Weeks If the unit for the week you want are gone,
I can also look at other villages and dates, too include into early next
year. I can also possibly look for larger units and longer/shorter stays

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
