I'm thinking about buying at Orange Lakes. They seemed to have some agreement with Holiday Inn. Does anyone know if they are getting out of RCI and just doing Holiday Inn? Also, how is the trading power at Orange Lakes with RCI?

Thanks

Be sure to check the Timeshare Marketplace for resales - I think there is a listing for a 2 bedroom for $3,000 right now.

Just checked - there are a number of weeks available at Orange Lakes spaced throughout the year for $3,000 listed in the Marketplace.

$3000 is much more than 2 bedroom Orange Lake weeks have been going for on ebay. You should be able to get a 2 bed for under $1000.

Orange Lake and Holiday Inn were founded by the same man, Kemmons Wilson, hence their special relationship.

I wouldn't recommend buying anything in Orlando to trade. It's best to own there if you wish to go almost every year.
