Re: Orange Lake and Holiday Inn (by Tracey S.):

Orange Lake is a pretty good system. Chances are you didn't buy enough points to do the kind of travelling you thought you would be able to do. If you expect to get a 6-7 nights in a 2 br unit during high season your will need 150,000-225,000 points and you will want MF in the $700-1000 range. A lot of times they start off by selling you closer to 50,000-100,000 points with MF still in that same $700-1000 range which won't get you very much and you will be paying a lot in annual fees. There are a few resorts in the system that remain points on resale. They are getting harder to find but unless you can afford to pay $40,000+ without financing you would be better off taking the time to try to find a resale that works for you.
