Thanks for the info. I will there in about a month for a couple weeks. When I was there in December with construction going on, it wasn't a problem. All reports that I've seen, granted only what OLCC has sent, seem to indicate the project is going well. Maybe it will be open for my April/May 2006 trip. Have a good weekend.reddixie said:The new water park is due to be open by the spring of 2006. It looks to be on schedule. As for the road coming through the landscaping will disguise it I hope. When I was there less than a month ago the construction wasn't obvious unless you go through the East Gate. Thankfully it isn't disruptive at all. I will report again this weekend. I am planning on driving down on Sat. for a day of R and R.
Sorry to hear about the accident. I drive down from Maryland and it is a long trip. Hopefully you will recover soon.jeanyusjean said:Just the mention of this resort makes me cry Our first trip to WDW was scheduled July 9- July 16 but we got into a car accident 8 hrs into our drive going to FL. My car is still having repairs done in GA and I live in VA. Luckily everyone else is okay w/ the exception of myself ( severe neck and back injuries). So we rescheduling for Oct 22- Oct 29. Needless to say we are flying this time. But my uncle had stayed here and I have friends originally from Orlando area the highly recommended this resort.
You might wish to look up its website (www.olcc.com) to find out information about Orange Lake. It is located off 192 and borders The Animal Kingdom. Orlando is blessed with a lot of nice timeshares and Orange Lake ranks high. You can also find more information on the tug site (http://www.tug2.net/). OL is huge, about 1100 arces centered around a golf theme.tortoni said:Where is Orange Lake? How does it compare to some of the other timeshare properties?

It may too big (common complaint) for you but I have never seen it dirty. As far as being out of the way, that is a personal opinion as some people need to be in the middle of the action. It doesn't make it good or bad just a personal taste. Unless it is on Disney property when going to Disney or Universal property when going to Universal or accross the street from Seaworld when going to Seaworld, you could make the arguement that where you are staying is way out of the way. I don't think it is out of the way. A 10 or 15 minute drive is not out of the way. Even staying on Disney property and being a prisoner of Disney transportation will take more than that. I've stayed at numerous timeshares in the Orlando area (not all), and the more I've stayed at other timeshares (Vistana, Florida Vacation Villas, Vacation Village at Parkway, Celebration, a few others that were so forgetable that I forgot the names, etc.), the more I've come to really like Orange Lake. Orange Lake is rated high by most people. Tug even has Orange Lake rated high and there are reports by people who get in the older sections who don't like it. Does that mean that Orange Lake doesn't have room for improvement. Of course it does. Again, as I said, Orlando is blessed with a lot of nice timeshares. If you don't like Orange Lake, I'm sure there is one that fits your style and wants. The important thing is to enjoy your vacation.jeff968 said:I would disagree. I've stayed at many of Orlando's Timeshares and was not impressed with OL. It was too big and dirty and way out of the way.
