I live in MA, my mom passed away in ‘22, she has owned (since the 90’s) two weeks at orange lake that have been paid off. The timeshare has recently gone through probate down in Florida, and the deed is now in my name, and being recorded as such. How do I get the timeshare to officially...
Our parents transferred 2 weeks at Holiday Inn Club Vacations (HICV) Orange Lake along with 70,000 points to my wife and I. The weeks are fixed at Orange Lake but the points are with HICV. They are suggesting that we transfer the weeks and 70,000 points all to HICV points. Is this a wise thing...

We purchased the Timeshare in Orange Lake Florida in August 2023. We are past the 10 days grace refund period for Florida and now having buyers remorse as we reevaluated and it is not worth it considering the Maintenance cost as we may not be travelling as much.
Also, the last calls as promised...
My mother and father bought a unit at Orange Lake Kissimmee in the 1990's. My father passed away about 20 years ago and my siblings and I recently found that my mother: 1) still had the time share-she hadn't mentioned it since the early 2010's, 2) was being scammed by someone who promised to...
I've just begun the process of learning EVERYTHING about timeshares, specifically HIVC. I've never owned one, so I'm starting from zero, trying to learn all that I can. My husband and MIL purchased at Orange Lake in 1999 and they no longer want to own it. My MIL has been paying for it and using...
Hi All,
I made a huge mistake in 2015 in purchasing a timeshare from Silver Leaf resorts. I was single, no kids, and had a large amount of disposable income. My situation changed about a year later as I went back to school full time to get my bachelors degree. I defaulted on my payments and...

Please help me in finding direction to get out of my Orange Lake timeshare - for which I still owe nearly 20-thousand dollars. As many others, I made the purchase foolishly, thinking I could accelerate payments, then lounge on the beach worry-free. However, as bad luck would have it, I lost my...

First post for me, but after 4.5 hours of torture, I can say I survived a presentation without buying. The salesman was a nice guy, but when I mentioned resale market things took an ugly turn. He got very defensive and argumentative.. at that point he just started talking mainly to my wife...
Can someone please explain to me why a resort like Orange Lake would not jump at the opportunity to get my (paid-off) deed back free of charge, so they could turn around and resell it? I do not understand why they are so against this.
Thank you,
Matt
So...this timeshare has been of absolutely no use to us. We are never able to use any location when we want and when we do find something, we have to use almost all of the points we paid for that year. We are bi-annual. All they ever do is try so sell us promotions to upgrade. Make us pay to...
if this was discussed elsewhere, kindly point me in the right direction. Currently, I am looking at buying a Fixed-Week-7 2-bedroom West Village at HICV Orange Lake. That is the perfect week for my wife and I to go to OL, but let's say we decide to go to some other resort and NOT pay $0.20/point...
I am glad I found this site. I am totally new to Timeshares and just went to Orange lake this weekend and went through the sales presentation.
I did sign up knowing I can cancel within 10 days if I could not find a better deal. What I purchased was 100,000 points for 17,000 and they were...
Hi all,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Manny, I am 31 with a girlfriend and no kids from NYC.
Im sure you have seen this before, and the famous phrase, I wish I would have found this site prior to purchase.
However as far as I know I may still be saved. I was in Orlando yesterday and...
Hello group! I'm hoping you all can help me with some questions. I am very interested in buying at Orange Lake and found a free resale. I've never bought resale so if anyone knows the process and or pitfalls to avoid at Orange Lake I would appreciate any advice. I found a fixed week which is...
I have checked around the site and couldn't find anything on this, so my apologies if I've missed something.
I own 4 fixed weeks at Orange Lake:
2 week 51's (West Village)
1 week 52 (West Village)
1 week 4 (East Village)
My weeks 51 & 52 have always had a trading power of between 52-56 points...
